So to really be able to dive into what does it mean to be broken by an experience, and I developed it just through research and talking and understanding the truth of what it means to lose everything.

The keys to life are running and reading.

When you're running and you are there, there's a little person that talks to you and that little person says “Oh, I'm tired”, “My lounge's about to pop”, “I'm so hurt”, “I'm so tired”, “There's no way I can possibly continue”. And you wanna quit. Right? That person, if you learn how to defeat that person when you're running you will learn how to not quit when things get hard in your life.

Begging for acknowledgment, or even asking, diminishes dignity and diminishes power.

I've never really viewed myself as particularly talented. I've viewed myself as slightly above average in talent.

Smiling is the best way to face every problem, to crush every fear, to hide every pain.
