I'm not suspicious of success, I'm suspicious of the people who want to attach themselves because of your success.
I never thought of myself as a mogul, but it's really great to be in that position.
I think every one of us, in life, have some sort of moment that has happened that we wish we could have done differently or that we wish could have had a different outcome.
What I know about me is that, in order to lead, you also have to know how to follow.
I'm very open to fresh talent, and I love the underdog, people who have been counted out, because they come in with a different type of hunger. I'm all for the underdog, so I'd like to talk to anybody who shows up with that sort of thirst.
You will always fine jealous people.They're the ones promoting you.
Music is always around, and it helps to heighten any emotion.
I know that there are a lot of people out there with stories far worse than mine but you, too, can make it. To those of you who have, welcome to life. I celebrate you.
When it all comes down to it, life isn't about how much we get - it's about how much we share.
The question that a lot of people ask me all the time is how did you make it? The truth be told, it was nothing but the grace of God.
Developing a good work ethic is a key [to success]. Apply yourself at whatever you do, whether you're a janitor or taking your first summer job, because that work ethic will be reflected in everything you do in life.
True love can come more than once.
Fear is a sprit that really can stop you from living.
Keep your dreams ALIVE. No matter how hard it gets, no matter how many people talk about you; they're going to throw dirt on you but that's alright, when they put you in that box (after your dead), they're going to put dirt on you some more, so that's okay - GO, don't be afraid, have NO FEAR.
