I don't rate myself as a fantastic, talented athlete. I just have perseverance. I'm a cart horse. I work hard.
I spent a day in a neck brace on a hospital trolley after falling from a horse and cart in Ireland. All the nurses thought I was a traveler, which made me laugh. Who else comes into a hospital saying they've fallen off a horse and cart?
If the work is the horse, a career makes a great cart.
My mum was a nurse, and her passion was geriatric care. I used to love listening to the old people's stories in her nursing home and picturing myself in their place. They'd say, 'I went to school in a horse and cart,' and I'd just think 'Wow!' I'd picture myself in their place - acting was a natural progression.
Hard work pays off - hard work beats talent any day, but if you're talented and work hard, it's hard to be beat.
The whole impetus behind going solo was an artistic inspiration in the sense that, obviously, success is fantastic. But as one becomes successful and gets branded with a certain sound, if the brand starts to become more of the focus than the evolution of the art, then that's putting the cart before the horse.
I consider myself an athlete. I train like an athlete, I eat like an athlete, I recover and get sore just like any other athlete.
No talented person remains a talented without a perseverance.
I want to categorically say that whatever I am, I have made a space for myself in Indian politics and media out of my own perseverance and hard work.
When I think about parallels between myself and an Olympian, I believe that success in the world of business is underpinned by very similar principles of perseverance and hard work.
I see myself as an athlete and just try to market myself as a feminine athlete.
Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did.
Honestly, it's not the medals that I feel so proud of. It's the way I conducted myself as an athlete, the hard work that I put forward.
I think that's still what the American Dream means: that with perseverance, with hard work, you can become something, that the classes won't prevent you from becoming, that there's a movement up that ladder with hard work.
I don't really see myself as a talented player. I just like working hard, and working hard brings great achievements.
I just see myself as an athlete and a competitor, someone who just works really hard at trying to get better at golf.
Comedy isn't really something where you get discovered. You can't network your way to being funny or talented. It's not hard to get seen if you're funny. If you're funny, talented, and work hard, you will go somewhere.
