Dorian Yates

So now the title's open, and logically I'm the favorite.

And actually I struggled with that for a while, like forever.

First of all, it was like, I'm the favorite now.

I don't have that underdog thing.

I don't know what to do now.

And then I was like, so I'm probably going to be Mr. Olympia.

You know, when I went against Haney, I wanted to try to win, but I was a new guy, and wow.

So I can be Mr. Olympia?

And then I just kind of turned it around in my head.

Yeah, but why not, man?

Somebody's got to be Mr. Olympia.

And do you know anybody that's dedicated themselves to the craft

the way you have absolutely not so yeah god damn it i deserve it and this took about a week to like change this whole uh point of view where i was comfortable going in as the favorite because yeah i'm gonna win so i should be the favorite but i struggled with it man because the whole time i was the underdog even when i was in england i'm not social so i didn't

talk to the judges or socialize or do anything.

It was like, you know, who is this guy?

Why is it like that?

Just comes here and disappears.

I wasn't interested in socializing or talking or trying to get favors and just doing my thing here, you know?

You're on the top.

You've been climbing up.
