Toughness is in the soul and spirit, not in muscles.

I think to be 'tough' means you look relaxed. So you have to be tough to win tournaments. But you don't want to be so tough on yourself.

There have been moments in my career when I've had to be tough and I've had to step up to the plate - but usually that's because a man has underestimated me. But other than that, I wouldn't say I'm a tough person.

I suppose there is a lot of toughness in me.

I'm tough when I have to be, tender when I should be. When you find a really tough guy, he's not a predator. He doesn't have to prove himself. Guys who have to pretend to be tough, they ain't. I'm tough.

I am tough, and sometimes I tell it like it is. Tough love can work wonders.

We talk about toughness as a quarterback: it's not sometimes the physical part that you see; it's the mental toughness and the 'I'm going to stand in here, take this shot,' and 'I'm going to deliver it to my guy.'

By nature I am not tough, believe it or not.

If you train hard, you'll not only be hard, you'll be hard to beat.

Hard work pays off - hard work beats talent any day, but if you're talented and work hard, it's hard to be beat.
