Unless they're superhuman, nobody's going to look perfect all the time.

I'm not the perfect model of what an athlete should be, mentally or physically.

Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.

Perfectionism is not the same thing as striving to be our best. Perfectionism is not about healthy achievement and growth; it's a shield.

The pursuit of perfection often impedes improvement.

I don't think perfection is possible. I think you can attempt to reach perfection, but I don't think it's a possible thing. I think perfection is a moving point, and we spend our artistic lives chasing it.

I would say that one of the hardest things for an athlete, and really anybody of any profession, is that we create our identity in what we do.

We shouldn't be intimidated by someone else's idea of perfection if it will prevent us from taking steps we actively want to take.

If someone is too perfect they won't look good. Imperfection is important.

In this fallen world, I suspect we will never achieve perfection. But that won't stop me trying.
