Energy is connected to physical fitness. One of the reasons I stayed at the top so long is that I was tremendously fit. At 36, I was fitter than most opponents ten years younger.
Always being champion, always being at the top every three days, playing great football - it's not that easy.
I've really just had to learn and adapt more than ever before, because there's so much to do in F1. There's so much to be on top of as a driver. It really requires perfection just to walk out of a weekend with a decent result.
When I release something, I'm like, "OK, I want it to be the best." When I release my fragrance, I want it to be the number one fragrance. I don't want it to be like, "Oh yeah, you got ninth on the rankings."
Always to be best, and distinguished above the rest.
There is no such thing as good enough. You, your team, and your equipment must be the best. That is how you will win victories.
My goal definitely isn't to be top five. It's to be the best in the league.
I wanted to finish at the top of the game and on my own terms. I thought it was the perfect time at the World Cup and to go out at Chelsea. Chelsea and England were immense in how they have supported me in that transition.
Only through focus can you do world-class things, no matter how capable you are.
Nobody's a natural. You work to get good and then work to get better. It's hard to stay on top.
I am a professional footballer and as long as I'm able to make a contribution, I'll be doing all I can to stay at the top.
I just set the bar, niggas fall under it like a limbo
I just try and earn my right to get on top of the bowlers, and that is how I play every game.
My goal is to be the best. That's my thing I want to achieve - the best that I can be - and hopefully, that's the best player in the NBA.
I think Formula One is extremely difficult, obviously, and it's the best drivers in the world so it's not easy to jump in and be on your top level immediately.
Daley Blind, Georginio Wijnaldum and Kevin Strootman too. They are examples of how you should behave as a top player.
In the end I didn't get a top car any more. I had no toughness left. That was the reality.
Two is not a winner, and three nobody remembers. What does it take to be number one?
It's a whole new world once you get to the professional rankings, being able to continue to stay on top.
I consider myself one of a very small handful of drivers in the world that are top drivers. The best one? I don't think anybody can say they're the best one because, from one week to the next, you can be on form or off form a little bit.
Be the best at what you do
In combat sports, you should retire on top. That is very hard to do. I'm glad I had the discipline to do it.
Everything I want to do in my life, I want to be at the top.
I am almost 30 so I am approaching this one as if it will be my last Olympic Games. I want to put out 110 percent to make sure that I am up at the top.
I want to become the best goalkeeper in the country and the best goalkeeper around.
