I always worked hard, because I recognized from a young age it was one of the only things I could control. I did karate as a kid at the Jewish Community Center, and when I started I was the worst of 25 Jewish kids who were afraid of getting picked on. Then just because everyone else quit, three years later I was at the top of the class. That was always tangible: Just by not stopping I became the best one. ~ Seth Rogen, quoted in This Week.
