My motivation and aspiration is the same, being number one or being number five. So that's the truth. And my goal is the same - it's to always be happy playing, it's to enjoy the game and improve always.
I genuinely don't care about the 'number one' tag. That's not my goal. You know, no one does that with heroes, but with actresses it's the same number game. It's not a bloody pageant. Everyone has something unique to offer.
I have always liked playing with number ten. Since I was a kid playing indoors football, I have always used the number ten. At Corinthians I was also number ten.
There are always things to improve on. I want to improve on my defense, and you can never be a perfect hitter. I want to focus on just playing more and being able to improve on all parts of my game.
Early rising not only gives us more life in the same number of years, but adds, likewise, to their number; and not only enables us to enjoy more of existence in the same time, but increases also the measure.
The distance between number one and number two is always a constant. If you want to improve the organization, you have to improve yourself and the organization gets pulled up with you. That is a big lesson. I cannot just expect the organization to improve if I don't improve myself and lift the organization, because that distance is a constant.
I don't believe in doing 20 films a years and being on number one, number five or anything that kind.
Kobe Bryant is one of those guys I never imagined being on the same court with. It was always an aspiration.
When I couldn't sign with the UFC, I think my goal of being Number 1 in the world went out the window. There's just no way of doing that at Welterweight without being in the UFC. I could go 50-0, and as long as it's outside the UFC, I'm not going to be Number 1.
I think people realize that I'm one of the best welterweights, whether I'm number one or number four or number five or number six.
It's always tempting to cast someone you enjoy being with. You've got to hang out with these people for a number of months.
The pitch is always going to be the same lines, same goal height. It's just a game of football.
I always fight. I work, and I want to be one of the best. It might go wrong, but the goal is always the same: to improve.
To two men living the same number of years, the world always provides the same sum of experiences. It is up to us to be conscious of them.
If you have been brought up with attacking and trying to get to number two, number three, number four goal, not getting one goal and defend, if that's sort of the mentality that's engraved in you, it's really difficult to do the other thing.
It's the same thing I have been doing since I was 5, playing the game of football. Going out there when my number is called and trying to make plays.
I will always enjoy it, that I was one day the Number One, even, like, when I look back in five years.
