Sometimes you have to be somebody you're not.

If you put in the work, put in the time, put in the effort, you're going to reap the benefits.

Don't you open your mouth about the best!

Work hard and believe in yourself even when nobody else believes in you.

If I don't have the books to read, if I don't have the information to study, how can I succeed? That's a lot of the stuff I would focus on if I was elected because I think knowledge is power.

I consider every one of the Disney films that Bob & I worked on, to have been the luckiest break any two songwriters could have ever had. They all aimed at quality and timelessness. That's why they live over the years.

The success doesn't define you. The success isn't what gave you the edge in the first place. The failure didn't give me the edge, either.
