I've grown so much, not just as an actor, but as a human being.
I'm trying to lead by example. But I'm definitely challenging myself to be a better player, the player I want to be.
The biggest competition is myself. I am not looking to follow others or pull them down. I'm planning to test my own boundaries.
Compete with yourself, not with others.
I'm not a political progressive, but I consider myself a progressive person. What makes me a progressive, in my opinion, is the fact that I try to improve myself and by large improve the world that I'm in - in the smallest way possible.
When I was a junior and an up-and-coming athlete, I don't think I looked to anyone for inspiration. I was so busy trying to improve myself and learning these new events and learning about the decathlon in general that I didn't really have time to focus on anyone else.
We are competing against ourselves.
I try to work hard each and every day to become a better player.
The main thing is I've tried to get better at everything - that includes the attacking side, being a threat, and taking people on.
I think that's the biggest thing, just helping me grow on and off the court. It's always what I've been about, and I think that's special.
What education is to the individual man, revelation is to the human race. Education is revelation coming to the individual man, and revelation is education that has come, and is still coming to the human race.
I really want to make myself a better player.
There can be no progress-real, moral prgress-except in the individual and by the individual himself.
The important thing is not to know more than all men, but to know more at each moment than any particular man.
A better you means a better universe.
I just want to be better every day, to get better every day, not to be better than anyone else.
I'm growing as an individual, but your always growing. All of my albums are snapshots of where I am artistically.
That's the best part of the game, to see the smiles on their faces and the breakthroughs they have as individuals.
I'm just trying to grow. That's one thing I told myself is, 'Don't worry about who people say is the best player.'
I love being superior to myself better than [to] my equals.
I think a college education is important no matter what you do in life.
The truest success is but the development of self.
Well to be perfectly frank with you I never created art or have done demonstrations for anyone before myself artistically. I always do it to try to push my own envelope to be the best I can be.
I don't compete with other people in the industry, I compete with myself.
In all times it is only individuals that have advanced science, not the age.
