Tough Quotes - Page 30

• It's tough to get any movie made, but unless it's a movie about race or culture or ethnicity, it's becoming less and less important who's playing what. You see that on the big screen and the small screen, and I think that's great. That's exciting.

• If you're not mentally tough,
  If nerves undo you instead of focus you,
  If you don't have the inner arrogance
  That you absolutely have what it takes to win,
  If you don't see, in your mind's eye,
  A picture of yourself winning - then you won't win;
  And not because you can't.
