Competition between men is a fuel that’s useful to us. We have to be careful that it doesn’t tell the same story over too many times, but it’s amazing how durable that story is.

Of course, most people remember that I received the first perfect 10 in Olympic gymnastics competition.

Democracy presumes that we’re all created equal; competition proves we are not, or else every race would end in a tie.

I don’t think the competition’s so rough, within the majority of movies made in Hollywood.
The successful companies try to keep the new entrants down. Now that’s great for a company like ours. We make more money that way because we have less competition and less innovation. But for the country as a whole, it’s horrible.

When movies work or a TV series, when they really work, it’s because of the collaborative effort. Competition is the death knell for anything, in my opinion. Especially in Hollywood.

I concentrated on Rossini when I began, and I never really felt any competition. I sang in the best houses, and I believed I was always a first choice. I was lucky in a way – I never felt there was someone else who was getting the roles in another theatre and that we were competing.
Beginning in the Clinton administration, there was, for nearly two decades, a broad bipartisan consensus that the best Internet policy was light-touch regulation – rules that promoted competition and kept the Internet ‘unfettered by federal or state regulation.’ Under this policy, a free and open Internet flourished.

You should be having more fun in high school, exploring things because you want to explore them and learning because you love learning-not worrying about competition.
For me, half the joy of achieving has been the struggle and the fight, the pitting myself against the world and all its competition – and winning.
I started writing sketches with Dennis Kelly, who I ended up writing ‘Pulling’ with. We entered a BBC competition and did quite well, then started writing bits for other people’s shows. You wheedle your way in, write pilots and eventually you end up writing a sitcom.
I think competition is very important; it breeds many good things in a person.

Competition and variety in financial services are always good things.

Yahoo is a battleship. If you’ve ever seen a battleship, they’re gigantic, and Yahoo is gigantic in the terms of consumer Internet companies. To turn a battleship takes a long time, but once you turn that battle ship the right way, it’s a battleship, and it can really inflict some damage on an enemy or competition.
