I don't need any crutches in order to concentrate. As a child I learned that you must be ready because I'd be yelled at more than other people and it would always be my fault. I learned that to be professional is your number-one priority. The art comes second. You learn that, in order to give your best performance, you have to be a good technician, which means never allowing negative influences affect your performance.

There's something about death that is comforting. The thought that you could die tomorrow frees you to appreciate your life now.

Just start off with the same goals in mind. If you have the same values, same goals then you'll be on track for the same future.

I don't think any of these are good enough excuses for the damage.
