An employee's motivation is a direct result of the sum of interactions with his or her manager.

Whatever you want in life, other people are going to want it too. Believe in yourself enough to accept the idea that you have an equal right to it.

I listen to a lot of TED talks and motivational speakers.

I've always thought of acting as more of an exercise in empathy, which is not to be confused with sympathy. You're trying to get inside a certain emotional reality or motivational reality and try to figure out what that's about so you can represent it.

There's a way to do it better - find it.

We are taught you must blame your father, your sisters, your brothers, the school, the teachers - but never blame yourself. It's never your fault. But it's always your fault, because if you wanted to change you're the one who has got to change.

Just looking when I was little at pictures of cars and houses that I wanted - it gives you a certain motivation, it gives you a goal.

If you must have motivation, think of your paycheck on Friday.

One of my motivations in life is to be a billionaire.

I'm a very motivated person. I don't need extra motivation.

Wherever you are - be all there.

Always continue the climb. It is possible for you to do whatever you choose, if you first get to know who you are and are willing to work with a power that is greater than ourselves to do it.

You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.

Motivation should come from within each player; if not, it's difficult to get results.

I used to watch a lot of motivational films and videos to remain positive.

Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

I am not afraid... I was born to do this.

Look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see, and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious.

Getting up in front of an audience is my biggest motivation.
