I am disappointed by this controversy surrounding A Million Little Pieces because I rely on the publishers to define the category that a book falls within and also the authenticity of the work.

Life has taught me to just be the best I can be.

Instead of looking for the success in your life, look for the thing that is going to bring you the greatest joy.

Follow your instincts. That's where true wisdom manifests itself.

Leadership is about empathy. It is about having the ability to relate to and connect with people for the purpose of inspiring and empowering their lives.

Every day, passion speaks to us through our feelings. That's why when you allow yourself to become anesthetized by what others think, you literally block yourself from living the life you were called to live. I promise you that if you make a choice that doesn't please your mate, your friends, your mother, or whoever, the world will not fall apart. The people who truly love you want you to love yourself.

So go ahead. Fall down. The world looks different from the ground.
