It isn't really surprising if he he’s insecure and bitter. That kind of thing is the pattern of nearly every successful athlete ever born.

Success breeds selfishness. In the end, what other reward is there?
Ah, I found the actual speech, in 3 parts. He does come across a bit better here than in the article:

Here's part 1, includes the highlight reel:
