Never think you're better than anyone else, but don't let anyone treat you like you're worse than they are.

Let the other guys do the crybaby stuff. Go for the laughs.
I've never hit anybody who hasn't clocked me two or three times.

men way hollywood
Don't ever humiliate a man. If you're gonna have to dress him out, you take him aside and do it that way. That's the one thing I don't like about Hollywood: They go in for public humiliation. You shouldn't do that to a man.

I used to be friends with Miles Davis. He didn't like many folks. I lived across the street from him.
