There are obviously peaks and valleys in everyone's career. This business can be a roller-coaster ride, and it's really hard to stay on top all the time. Very few people do.

I think hard work is what gets most people to the top.

The amount of work and the amount of both physical and emotional investment it takes to get to the top.

I started my career at the top and have been working my way downwards ever since.

The peak of a career can only last so long. You go up and you try to maintain it. But, it can only last so long and then you're going to go down.

I've viewed myself as slightly above average in talent. And where I excel is ridiculous, sickening work ethic.

You've got no chance of reaching the top if you're just playing for money.

You have got to attract the brightest and the best, but the brightest and best won't stay unless they see real career options.

Money is just a way to keep score. The best people in any field are motivated by passion. That becomes more true the higher the skill level gets.

Without hard work and discipline it is difficult to be a top professional.
