Talented people are restless at their core.
I'll go be the best in the world somewhere else.
I've always had that obsessive will to win and a commitment to excellence.
Better is not good enough; the best is yet to come!
My ruthless desire to win at all costs served me well on the bike but the level it went to, for whatever reason, is a flaw. That desire, that attitude, that arrogance.
Excess on occasion is exhilarating. It prevents moderation from acquiring the deadening effect of a habit. It's a funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it. Like all weak men he laid an exaggerated stress on not changing one's mind.
It doesn't take much to be good, but it takes a lot to be real good.
