Most employees only want to know how much they get paid and how much time off they get – they probably don’t have the mission in their souls.

I like the city. I like the concrete. I like big business. I like being a CEO of my own company and having a lot of responsibilities. At the same time, when I can go off with a backpack or off on a surfboard or even off on a run somewhere in the woods – that’s where I’m really happy.

Music helps me tell my story. That’s where I can really be heard. But there’s so much focus on the things that aren’t music.

If you try and work out at 4:30 in the afternoon, how many people are going to chip away at that time? Your boss, your job, your work, your family, your other obligations that you might have. At 4:30 in the morning, all those people are asleep, so you can do whatever you want.

Becoming a writer is not a ‚career decision‘ like becoming a doctor or a policeman. You don’t choose it so much as get chosen, and once you accept the fact that you’re not fit for anything else, you have to be prepared to walk a long, hard road for the rest of your days.

If it wasn’t for baseball, I’d be in either the penitentiary or the cemetery.

Young men have a passion for regarding their elders as senile.

If you want to occupy the C-suite or the top one-tenth of 1% in any organization, you have to be obsessively devoted to your career at the expense of everything else. And women look at that, and they think, ‚No.‘

I can dance to just about anything.

Enthusiasm is the most important thing in life.

I don’t intend to stop making music.

The companies that work are the ones that people really care about and have a vision for the world so do something you like.

All I have to say is basically if performing, singing, acting, and dancing is what you want to do, then you just have to do it – no matter where it is.
