In my experience, there's only one thing that will always steer you toward success: That's to have a vision and to stick with it... Once I have a vision for a new venture, I'm going to ride that vision until the wheels come off.

I always say neediness is the cause of suffering. I'm not the only one who says it. It's something I adopted and I believe.

You can't jump to vegan if you're not. Some people are absolute. Some people are able to be gradual.

You know, sometimes people never get to learn how successful they could have been because they give up too easily. If I've learned one thing in all my years in the business, it's that often things don't work out the way you want at first. But that doesn't mean you should give up.

I think if you're open-minded, the road will take you where it takes you. If you're closed, you might not get to go where the road is heading.

You have to be present, awake and happy now.

Most artists are making as much money now as they could have made... in the heyday of Def Jam [when the] Beastie Boys would sell 10 million records or DMX would sell 6 or 7 million records. Those records are one thing, but then all the other ways to exploit the emotional relationship between artist and community is so much greater that I would guess that they're making as much or more money than they could have ever made.
