When you give total effort - everything you have - the score can never make you a loser. And when you do less, it can't somehow magically turn you into a winner.
If I do commit myself to something, I will commit myself 100 percent.
If I'm going to play, I'm going to have to give it 100%, which means I'm going to have to play in all of the tournaments that I don't like.
I just want to give the people 100% of myself as an artist.
The way I look at it is, if you're going to play, you better put 100 percent effort into it all the time.
First of all, to do performance art, you really have to give 100 percent. I only know that I have to give 100 percent and then what happens, happens.
I'm a guy who's either going to go full bore, or I'm not going to do it at all.
The effort must be total for the results to be meaningful.
When it becomes necessary to do a thing, the whole heart and soul should go into the measure, or not attempt it.
Always make a total effort, even when the odds are against you.
I've never made a film that I didn't believe in, you know? However the picture turns out, I've always given everything to it. That's kind of how I approach life. I can't help it. There's no part-way with me on anything in any area of my life.
I pledge to give all there is of myself.
There's only one way to succeed in anything, and that is to give it everything.
I can't imagine a person becoming a success who doesn't give this game of life everything he's got.
It's nice to invest yourself fully in whatever you're doing... I think it's best to try and give everything you've got; otherwise, what's the point?
If you walk away, don't walk away with something still left in the tank. Then you're wondering like, 'Man, what could I have done?' When I'm done playing, I want to leave it all out on the field.
Temperance is essential, if the services of men and women are to be employed to the best and most useful effect according, to the physical capacity and ability of each. Nothing less will assure a total effort.
I don't wanna have anything left in the tank.
Resolve that whatever you do, you will bring the whole man to it; that you will fling the whole weight of your being into it.
