I established my first writing routine when I was 13. The school year had just ended, and I'd won a stack of books for being the best student in a number of subjects. The pile included several 60-leaved notebooks that I decided to fill with short stories.

Ayobami Adebayo

The thing that I think a lot of guys need to know how to do is not take your mother's advice about honesty being the best policy. Listen to your cool, drunk uncle who tells you to lie. Those are the relationships that last.

Adam DeVine

I love working with friends; it's my favorite thing to do. I've found over the years that that ends up being the best way to spend my time.

Adam Scott

Being the best-paid in the Premier League fills me with pride at being Chilean.

Alexis Sanchez

I'm just thinking about being the best I can be for the team first because that's what comes first.

Aly Raisman

I would say the first concert I ever went to is my earliest memory. I was four and already obsessed with Michael Jackson. We were living in Munich at the time. My mom, being the best person ever, somehow managed to get us two tickets to the '97 Michael Jackson History World Tour.

Amber Mark

Don't worry about being famous or making money; the most important thing is being the best. You have to become a master of your craft, and everything else will come.

Anastasia Soare

Basic training was hard, but I made it - because I wanted to be the best me. Sometimes you have to learn that being the best you is being the second best you. I learned the hard way that the army doesn't want people who always come first. Otherwise, there would be only one person in the army.

Ant Middleton

I did learn that there's a bigger picture than just being the best at your sport.

Ashlyn Harris

I established my first writing routine when I was 13. The school year had just ended, and I'd won a stack of books for being the best student in a number of subjects. The pile included several 60-leaved notebooks that I decided to fill with short stories.

Ayobami Adebayo

Some people who come from high levels in other backgrounds where they're used to being the best or used to being on a kind of pedestal, it's hard to kind of lower yourself again and just be one of the grunts. I kind of enjoyed that challenge in MMA.

Ben Askren

I think it doesn't matter if you are the best surfer in the world. I'm going to try to be the best surfer I can be. It's not all about competing and being the best. It's more about having fun and just doing what you love.

Bethany Hamilton

If I put a statement about being the best interviewer into the universe, I must now live up to it, or at least be held accountable for it. Either way, I'm going to work that much harder.

Bobby Bones

My motivation is being the best. Pretty simple and straightforward.

Brian Shaw

I'm focused on being the best, making history.

Canelo Alvarez

When I'm feeling comfortable at home, confident in my day-to-day, being healthy and being the best person I can be, MMA is easy.

Cat Zingano

I was never a pretty girl, so I wasn't the one to get the boy. I used to cast myself as a good sport. Sometimes I wonder if I do that too much with roles I play, because if I'm absolutely truthful, I quite like being the best friend, or the supporting role, and actually I ought to gear-change and make myself the leading role.

Celia Imrie

I'm a big believer in evolution, growth, and in being the best you that you can be, and I feel like the first step to doing that is getting mentally healthy.

Charlamagne tha God

I'm thinking about being the best I can be at ESPN in the studio.

Chauncey Billups

You hear these yummy mummies talk about being the best possible mother, and they put all their effort into their children. I also want to be the best possible mother, but I know that my job as a mother includes bringing my children up so, actually, they can live without me.

Cherie Blair

I think, in the U.S., we have such a focus on the physicality, on being the best athlete, that it sort of overshadows the football aspect of it.
