I've always made a total effort, even when the odds seemed entirely against me. I never quit trying; I never felt that I didn't have a chance to win.

When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor.

If I put forth a legitimate effort, then I feel like, if that doesn't work out, that's all I can do.

You've got to make an effort on your own. Some people don't even try.

I'm content with the fact that I made a decent effort. That's what I've always worried about: that I wouldn't try hard enough.

You can't expect to make no effort. You still have to make the effort and be kind and understanding.

As long as you give your best effort, I feel like that's all you can do.

I always think I have a chance, and I always give it all I've got.

I was determined that if I failed it wouldn't be due to lack of effort.
