A lot of my intensity in wrestling was due to my mental preparation before the matches. I got myself into a different world.

Some people are making such thorough preparation for rainy days that they aren't enjoying today's sunshine.

I'm fortunate that my job gives me the motivation to be as fit as possible. I wound up in a profession that requires physical and mental preparation, so I get to prepare like an athlete for everything I do. I'm living the dream, man.

I want every player to stay with the mentality and preparation to play together to win.

In particular, with my control team, I demanded the responsibilities to do all of the mission preparation, mission design, the writing of the procedures, the development of the handbooks.

My preparation and my routine are the foundations to my success.

My favorite part is the preparation because you read on the page, you get this character.

As far as fitness is concerned, you have to enjoy it, do good exercises, and integrate them into your tennis practice. The preparation for the season is as crucial as doing good blocks when switching from one surface to another.

The preparation I had in college was the most valuable.

It doesn't take a lot of preparation for the Rumble compared to how you would prepare for a match where it's you and another guy.

With my dad coming from a theatre tradition, there was a lot of preparation before auditions. Not just in terms of saying the lines correctly but a process of entering into what it was all about.

It's the preparation that's my favourite part of the process.

I always say it takes as much preparation and thought to do a small part as a leading part. In some ways, leads are easier because you have the luxury of time to discover the character.

It's definitely a shock to go from being 15 in high school to working. There's no real cushion there. There's no preparation at all. You learn by doing.

Preparation is a mentality... With wrestling being my background, I've always learned to overwork, overwork. Work, work, work, work. It's not always the talented that wins, but it's the one who puts in the most preparation and thought into things.

I never prepare. I think that's completely overrated. It's a very simple job. All you have to do is hit this bright mark, stand in the right spot and say the line. So I don't really believe in preparation.

A journalist and an information architect face exactly the same problem - how to give shape to the pile of information in front of you in a way that will make it easy and natural for people to comprehend. I can't imagine any better preparation for the work I do now.

I was an outsider, never quite part of what was going on, always looking in. It turned out to be great preparation for writing fiction.

I'm probably one of the worst actors as far as preparation goes, because I actually don't prepare. I find it easier to read the script and whatever hits me in my stomach, like deep down, I just go with it. And the director kind of molds me whether to go right or left with it.

In missionary work, as in all else, preparation precedes power. Encouragement to prepare while still very young can make a tremendous difference.
