I do not live on false promises. I cannot afford to live on bad advice.

Follow your honest convictions and be strong.

Everything in the universe has a purpose. Indeed, the invisible intelligence that flows through everything in a purposeful fashion is also flowing through you.

In this business you have to develop a thick skin, but I’m always going to feel everything. It’s my nature.

There’s a victory, and defeat; the first and best of victories, the lowest and worst of defeats which each man gains or sustains at the hands not of another, but of himself.

Self-talk, for me, has been the biggest thing in my life. A lot of us have a dialogue that is crap. It’s a crappy dialogue. We live in a world right now that is very external. Everything is very on the surface. Superficial. Everything. And what we’re telling ourselves is what we see on TV.

What really raises one’s indignation against suffering is not suffering intrinsically, but the senselessness of suffering.

I’ve watched a lot of people who became famous who completely change and I think it’s because they tend to believe all the hype that’s out there. I don’t think there’s that much hype about me.

We are the most amazing creatures that this world has ever produced, but we seem to also have this herd mentality; we seem to be the most stupid, also.

My life is not to be somebody else’s impact – you know what I mean?

Judge a man by his questions rather than his answers.

I’m nobody, who are you?

If you want to see the true measure of a man, watch how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.

A woman has the age she deserves.

We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.

Why am I a star? It can’t be because of looks.

Today I love myself as I love my god: who could charge me with a sin today? I know only sins against my god; but who knows my god?

I tend to overthink things. I’m not the guy who screams ‚This is a world smash!‘ when I finish a song.

And suddenly I realised that I was no longer driving the car consciously. I was driving it by a kind of instinct, only I was in a different dimension.

A disagreement or incident involving someone who’s not that important to you, like a guy who cut you off in traffic or a rude cashier, is something that should roll off your shoulders. Save the effort for resolving conflicts with the people you cherish.

If man makes himself a worm he must not complain when he is trodden on.

He who falls in love with himself will have no rivals.

No man should escape our universities without knowing how little he knows.

I change during the course of a day. I wake and I’m one person, and when I go to sleep I know for certain I’m somebody else.

I don’t have emotional needs, only physical ones.

I remember when I was younger, and in school, our teachers showed us films of plastic in the ocean, starving polar bears and so on. I cried through all the movies. My classmates were concerned when they watched the film, but when it stopped, they started thinking about other things. I couldn’t do that. Those pictures were stuck in my head.

The truth is something that burns. It burns off dead wood. And people don’t like having the dead wood burnt off, often because they’re 95 percent dead wood.

Some people are very good at being ‚stars‘ and it suits them. I’m grudging about it and I find it annoying.

Achievement brings its own anticlimax.

Adopt responsibility for your own well-being, try to put your family together, try to serve your community, try to seek for eternal truth… That’s the sort of thing that can ground you in your life, enough so that you can withstand the difficulty of life.

People gonna be they own individuals and have they own worlds and I can’t knock it.

If you’re embarrassed because you have some notion about how men are supposed to behave, and it doesn’t include weeping, then you have some personal work to do.

Somewhere deep down there’s a decent man in me, he just can’t be found.

Remembering what you’ve been through and how that has strengthened your mindset can lift you out of a negative brain loop and help you bypass those weak, one-second impulses to give in. Even if you’re feeling low and beat down by life right now, I guarantee you can think of a time or two when you overcame odds and tasted success.

Youth cannot know how age thinks and feels. But old men are guilty if they forget what it was to be young.
