I was always an overachiever.

I'm this overachiever type, I'll just work and work and I'll just do it over and over and over again.

In school, I was an underachiever.

The term 'overachiever' sort of makes it look like the person has mediocre talent and he just works so hard that he achieves beyond what you would think. 'Overachiever' is sort of a - it's sort of an incorrect term. An overachiever is someone that's just willing to pay the price to get so much more out of his performance.

Since 'The Overachievers' came out, I've been doing a lot of lectures and talking to kids across the country.

I was very athletic when I was younger and I am a very competitive person, so I never give up.

I am not overconfident.

I sometimes have an over-confidence that can be viewed as arrogance.

I've stopped apologizing to myself for having this great period of success and financial acceptance.

If I can't do something and excel at it and do it well, I have a tendency to give up on it really easy.
