I didn't go into Parliament to be fair to my opponents. Quite honestly I went in to jump on their windpipes!”
I've always been known for speeding up the tempo. To me, that's just the way you play the game - aggressive. There's no time to rest. You rest on the sidelines.
I'm an aggressive player. I always have been.
Politics, so far as mobilizing support is concerned, represents the art of calculated cheating, or more precisely how to cheat without being really caught
My character isn't supposed to be flashy and be over-the-top. I'm supposed to be dirty in the ring. I'm supposed to kick and punch, and I'm supposed to cheat and find ways to win at all costs.
It's like kill or be killed, that's my thing basically.
Our intent is to attack for 90 minutes.
You have to be a bastard to make it, and that's a fact.
I was one of those guys that really had to fight to make it in this league. Early on, I really had to do whatever it took, whether it be fight, rough people up, to make the team. I looked at it as it's either me or them - and it was going to be me.
We're gonna play fast, we're gonna play physical, we're gonna play furious, and we're gonna play contact football.
I'm a very competitive person and maybe I'd taken things a bit too far at times.
I'm involved in fight of the year nearly every time I fight because I put it all on the line. I don't look to keep out of the way and nick a decision.
I am way too competitive! I get so crazy that I don't even care.
The way that I like to fight is I like to paint myself into a corner and so the only way is for me to win.
Sales bring out the worst in people.
We understand it's a 48 -minute game and for us it's always win or go home and that's what we do.
From a young age, I was viciously competitive.
When I play ball, I play hardball.
True partisans draft legislation that gives themselves everything and their enemies nothing. They love bills that repulse and even disgust the other side. Today's politics have become an all-or-nothing, black-or-white, zero-sum game - it's not a contact sport but a blood sport.
Nothing so marks Republicans as their genius for organizing, and their take-no-prisoners approach to problems that Democrats leave to chance.
Win pretty, win ugly, just win.
I play the game hard; I play the game with an edge.
We're a very success-driven culture, which is such a downer at times. Even if you don't think that way, you're forced to think that way. Everyone is trying to subconsciously out-do everyone else.
I was always a believer in stamping on my opponent if I got him down, at Wimbledon or anywhere else. I never wanted to give him the chance to get up.
The way I operate is I want to win, so I'll do whatever.
