“The same way as failure never being fatal. Just keep going. I’m going to the stars and then past them.”

When I say something’s going to happen, it’s going to happen.

I always teach myself calm and visualization stuff.

What someone else does or doesn’t do has no effect on me and what I do.

I don’t feel that emotion is a good thing to have in combat. You must be cold.
