People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily.

I tried to instill a different motivation, to give them the security and the conviction that they were doing something good, something necessary, something useful - if you want to use a grandiose expression, that they were doing something for peace.

Money was never the motivation. It never should be in sports.

In the same period, Polish literature also underwent some significant changes. From social-political literature, which had a great tradition and strong motivation to be that way, Polish literature changed its focus to a psychological rather than a social one.

Y'know, the real reason why I was such a failure in the sense of being unable to make any sort of a living was because I was really not motivated. I had no motivation.

Money was never a big motivation for me, except as a way to keep score. The real excitement is playing the game.

That's the motivation of an artist - to seek attention of some kind.

At the same time, it makes me feel like I have to prove myself to the new guys coming in as well as prove myself to the coaching staff, which is a good bit of motivation for me.

I also like to look at the dynamic that takes place between religion and science because, in a way, both are asking the same questions: Who are we? Where do we come from? Why are we here? Where are we going? The methodologies are diametrically opposed, but their motivation is the same; the wellspring is the same in both cases.

I just knew that economics had never been my big motivation.

I don't care about motivation. I care about credibility.

In my experience, there is only one motivation, and that is desire. No reasons or principle contain it or stand against it.

Myths are stories that express meaning, morality or motivation. Whether they are true or not is irrelevant.

I try to give both my heroes and villains an emotional dimensionality which provides the motivation for their actions.

It doesn't matter who is playing or how old they are. I just worry about what I can control. It doesn't give me more or less motivation.
