I'm a pretty driven person, and I've accepted that about myself. For a long time, I was like, 'I'm a very laid-back person, I grew up in the country,' but I'm also very driven, otherwise I wouldn't be where I am right now.
I've always been a person who is driven.
My whole life is driven by love. It always has been. It's never been driven by material things - which are just benefits of doing something I loved.
I've always been very driven and am also very stubborn.
Always the rationalization is the same-"Once this situation is remedied, then I will be happy." But it never works that way in reality: The goal is achieved, but the person who reaches it is not the same person who dreamed it. The goal was static, but the person's identity was dynamic.
I have always been driven. I have always believed in what I believe very deeply.
I've always been a pretty candid person. I'm not a very secretive person; I'm not a very discreet person. One of my best friends once described me as pathologically indiscreet.
I'm a very objective-driven bloke, so to have a goal in mind and to have something to do is very important to me.
I've always been a goal-oriented person.
If you are driven by certainty you can't grow. If you are driven by certainty if somebody messes with you, you can get very intense, even violent, depending upon the person's personality.
My goal has always been to just be a person who makes great art.
I am driven by a desire to see poverty end and economic security be a guaranteed capacity for every person. Most of the impediments or solutions are state-driven, not federally driven.
I absolutely love what I do. And I want to dance for as long as I can and feel good about what I'm putting out there on the stage. But my goal has always been to be a principal dancer with ABT. Before I knew that there had never been a black woman, that was always my goal. I wanted to dance Odette-Odile and Kitri and "Don Quixote" and Aurora in "Sleeping Beauty." So that's still my goal. But knowing that it's never been done before, I think makes me fight even harder.
I've always been very independent and driven to make my own money and to achieve my goals.
The tennis life is very short, as I say. And my first goal is always to be a good person.
I'm a very driven, ambitious, positive person. But I'm a spiritual person as well.
