I do good when people doubt me. When someone says I can't do something, I want to do more. I won't back down from anybody.
I have no problem with battling for a position. I have no problem trying to beat somebody out. It's a sport, competition, so I'm used to it.
I have a tattoo on my arm that says, 'The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.'
Sometimes I look at myself and think: have I been too hard in terms of pushing and challenging the players? But I only think about that for five minutes and then I say I am doing okay because they need to be pushed and challenged.
I think you can challenge people, but you don't want to break people down. But you've got to sometimes just pull them aside and say, you know, you're OK but you could be better.
Let my critics direct a movie if they think it's so easy!
I love to challenge people.
I'm not afraid to upset people. But I am not as upset because I understand what I'm up against.
I could sit toe to toe at a potato table with anybody.
It is important to challenge your major players. You need to keep them on their toes but there are ways of doing that. Sometimes you have to be a shoulder to cry on. You can't be constantly at them.
