I have always wanted to outdo myself, be it films or shows.
I didn't set out specifically to be a manager, but once you end up in that role you want to be measured against the best in the profession.
I wish I could say I had some sort of master plan where one role leads to the next role, but a lot of it really is persistence and luck and being prepared when you are asked to jump on a project. There isn't any one rule that I follow. Obviously, I'll always shoot to work with the best actors, directors and filmmakers. I've been incredibly lucky to be able to do that.
I always challenge myself to do something better, and people in the industry appreciate that.
The one strongest, most important part of my game is that I want to be the best. I won't accept anything less that that. My ability to concentrate and work toward hat goal has been my greatest asset.
Music is my number one, it's my life, it's my everything. I'm enjoying challenging myself; I want to raise the bar and set a new standard for Australian pop artists.
An All-American is an ordinary person with an extraordinary desire to excel. You don't get to the top of the mountain by just dreaming. It's nice to dream. But it's the work ethic and pride that makes you get to that mountain top and that level of success.
I've got a long way to go to being the ultimate best, but I think my time is now. And I'm starting to enter my prime.
Hopefully I can be one of the better players to play in this league. That's what I'm working for.
Personally, I just want to be the best I can be, so that drives me enough.
I always compare myself to what I did last, so I've got to try and beat what I did last. I'm always upping my own bar.
It's really fun to see young kids trying to find excellence in themselves.
I came to America so that I could work with the best and be the best.
You never want to plateau out. Getting better every day is my expectation.
Every man who would do anything well, must come to it from a higher ground.
When you are trying to do something when you are getting started and you are trying to make records for the first time, you want it to be the best.
When I was a young stunt guy the director would say: "You're useless..." But I wanted to be the best, I wanted to be a super stunt guy. That's how I built myself, because of martial arts and everything.
Being an actor is like being a student, and I plan to get top grades.
That's all you can ask for, to learn and be the best you can be.
I still know I have an awful lot to learn, and I hope I'm put in whatever situation it is that's gonna help me learn it, or that I'll get to watch really good people do what they do.
I always like to appreciate any achievement but then try and figure out how to top that the next time.
College was to teach me that I was one of life's journeymen, eager to excel but lacking the requisite gifts.
I never, like, once I got to the WWE and then, I kind of started to realize that we have something special with that character, I was never satisfied. I was like, 'we're here and we're getting a great reaction, but what's next?'
In addition to my comedic sensibilities, I also have a love of science. I think that it would be nice if, by the time we're doing the next version of 'Roger Rabbit,' it would be nice if I was receiving my Nobel prize the same week.
I want to do movies, but I want to do something that's good. I don't want to make any more films until I feel that I'm ready for it. I want to have good work, and a very elegant life. I believe you get what you want.
