You are built not to shrink down to less but to blossom into more.

I thought, If I'm gonna run a jazz club, if I've got Miles Davis' posters in my bar, I should at least know what his horn sounds like.

You have to be responsible for the energy you're putting out into the world.

My idea is to give hope, because where there is no hope, there is no vision, and where there is no vision, people will perish.

I've never listened to jazz. It's just not something I ever paid attention to.

Waking up early on Saturday gives me an edge in finishing my work with a very relaxed state of mind. There is a feeling of time pressure on weekdays that aren’t there on weekends. If I wake up early in the morning before anybody else, I can plan the day or at least my activities with relaxed mind.

People just want to know that they matter.
