If you look at YOURSELF as the brand, then you will understand an intrinsic truth: People judge.

It is really sad for the new artists. Where's the next Elvis, where's the next Beatles, where's the Zeppelin? They're out there but they don't have a chance because once upon a time we [musicians of the 60s] had record companies, and they would support you and have point of purchase material and they would give you advances. In other words, they gave you the air to breathe to find yourself and spend the time to learn how to run.

I don't wanna go on vacation. There's nothing about it that appeals to me. People look forward to doing that; I look forward to getting up every day and doing something.

I also learned that I love making money. Anyone who is not afraid of work will be happy with the money they make.

I know that you like to see a man in the kitchen, but I'm skeptical of men who cook. A man should be focusing his attention on the woman, and not what's on the stove.

Before you go out there and try to conquer the universe... get your act together.

Get rid of the friends who want you to spend your whole day doing nothing with them. They're not your friends. They're your enemies.
