Growing up, video games allowed me to feed this competitive drive while still hanging out with my friends and being a kid.

Gordon Hayward

I'd never had money growing up, and it's never been that important to me, except maybe to take our kids on a nice vacation or something like that.

Harlan Coben

Kids growing up today will have what I never did growing up, which is somebody across that screen reflecting who they are, and showing them what is possible.

Simu Liu

My wife is a doctor, and we had a decent life financially. My kids were going to nice schools and had nannies. We weren't rich, but we were better off than I was growing up. And I looked around, and I was like, 'Who are these people?' It was the opposite of what I remembered growing up.

Kenya Barris

I can be highly competitive, which is ultimately why I chose yoga as a career. I thought it would drain the competitive drive out of me and allow me to be present and content. The yoga world has become highly competitive since then and it used to drive me crazy until I realized there's work for everyone.

Kathryn Budig

Growing up in Middlesbrough I was taught to be resilient and competitive. My teachers made us believe that just because kids were at private school up the road, it didn't mean they were better than us.

Steph McGovern

We'd had books in my house growing up, but we had never had anything like lectures. I had never written an essay for my mother. I had never taken an exam. Because I was working a lot as a kid, I just hadn't elected to read that much.

Tara Westover

I had a lot of coaches growing up that were very hard on the kids in the name of building character, but it could have the opposite effect on kids.

Steve Carell

I'd get off the set of 'The Wire' at 3 A.M. or even 4 A.M. and drive home to Washington to see my kids sleep and give them a kiss. I'd get up at 7 A.M., while the kids were still in bed, and drive back to Baltimore.

George Pelecanos

Growing up, we were a poor yet tightknit family. My mother worked multiple jobs and always made sure that her kids never had to want for anything.

Nia Jax

I'm an athlete; my dad had made sure I played all the same sports as boys growing up, so I was always super competitive.

Nia Jax

Sometimes we're so concerned about giving our children what we never had growing up, we neglect to give them what we did have growing up.

James Dobson

I knew what I didn't want, and I knew whatever it was going to be it had to be believable and it had to come from me and I had to drive it. The way I write is very honest and when I think of the music that I listened to growing up, I loved it because I believed it.

Ella Henderson

I drive the car pool - I show up with no makeup and drive the kids to school.

Jane Clayson

I remember growing up as a kid in Houston, playing 3-on-3 in my grandmother's driveway. I was lucky to be the youngest of four kids, so we had each other to keep ourselves busy and out of trouble. Not all kids are that fortunate.

Rashard Lewis

I think once an athlete always an athlete and once you have a competitive nature about you, in general, it's hard to let go. Whether you're going to take it into medicine or take it into sport, the competitive drive never really leaves.
