Jackie ChanI would never die for my beliefs because I might be wrong.
Bertrand RussellI always had a knack for improvisation. I can write down the notes I play, but never really had a proper academic musical background. I suppose I’m blessed and cursed by the fact I have that freedom.
Anthony HopkinsIntolerance betrays want of faith in one’s cause.
Mahatma GandhiI think that when you’re making your way up in the music industry, you have all these heroes and the reasons why they are your heroes. As soon as you get into the industry, your guidelines change a little bit. For me, my heroes now are great people first and great artists second.
Taylor SwiftMy children came out as individuals in their own right. They were not my products. They had their own characters and were very strong-minded.

Abraham LincolnMan is free at the moment he wishes to be.
VoltaireThe shepherd drives the wolf from the sheep’s throat, for which the sheep thanks the shepherd as his liberator, while the wolf denounces him for the same act as the destroyer of liberty. Plainly, the sheep and the wolf are not agreed upon a definition of liberty.
Abraham LincolnIn the past there were people who were not rich but contented with their living style, laughing and happy all day. But when the new rich people appear, people look at them and ask, ‚why don’t I have a life like that too, a beautiful house, car and garden,‘ and they abandon their values.
Thich Nhat Hanh
