I think that the best profession or the best thing to do is to be a public servant... I mean there's nothing better than working for the people - working for the common people out there and being a servant, a public servant, and I have seen this.

I don't mind looking foolish but it's just that I'm so bad at singing. The only time people ask me to sing is if they want the party to stop. If they want everyone to go home. Immediately.

Always listen to your inner voice, your instincts

The more knowledge you have, the more you're free to rely on your instincts.

You must see it. You must believe it. And then you must never stop working to make it happen.
