Be modest, be humble, be simple.Make sure you come in first so that you have something to be humble about.

I see my upbringing as a great success story. By disciplining me, my parents inculcated self-discipline. And by restricting my choices as a child, they gave me so many choices in my life as an adult. Because of what they did then, I get to do the work I love now.

The truth is I'm not good at enjoying life.

I say 'I love you' to my daughters every day.

I'm a slave to my dogs and go out with them almost every day. They are poorly behaved if they don't run. They really act up.

Some parents let their kids sleep at other people's houses, where they drink alcohol, watch TV for hours and God knows what else. But if you say you have to get all A's and practice the violin for two hours, then they consider that abusive. That upsets me.

There are all kinds of psychological disorders in the West that don't exist in Asia.
