Victory comes only after many struggles and countless defeats.

When you have a dream, you've got to grab it and never let go.

I learned not to worry so much about the outcome, but to concentrate on the step I was on and to try to do it as perfectly as I could when I was doing it.

Insist on yourself. Never imitate.
