There's a band called Pantera that I listen to, and then Metallica's 'And Justice for All'. If you listen to a little bit of that before you go on stage, you're pretty much set for the whole show.
I would say that nobody is going to work harder for your career than yourself — the one with the vision. No matter how many people you hire, nobody is going to get is as much as yourself does. So it's really important to be your own leader at all times and not hand it all off, otherwise the whole empire will fall apart.
Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.
When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor. It's to enjoy each step along the way.
My psychiatrist told me I was crazy and I said I want a second opinion. He said okay, you're ugly too.
What people don't understand is joining a gang ain't bad, it's cool, it's fine. When you in the hood, joining a gang it's cool because all your friends are in the gang, all your family's in the gang. We're not just killing people every night, we're just hanging out, having a good time.
It's easy to get negative because you get beat down. You go through a few disappointments and it's easy to stay in that negative frame of mind. Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is a whole cliche, but your attitude is going to determine how you're going to live your life.
If you want to relax, watch the clouds pass by if you're laying on the grass, or sit in front of the creek; just doing nothing and having those still moments is what really rejuvenates the body.
Your self-esteem won't come from body parts. You need to step away from the mirror every once in a while, and look for another reflection, like the one in the eyes of the people who love you and admire you.
I love performing, and I love being in front of people. I love the pressure you get and the pleasure performing brings.
You have to have the right mind-set.
If you set out to be liked, you would be prepared to compromise on anything at any time, and you would achieve nothing.
Whatever you do, don't take shortcuts. It's great advice to take and live by.
Scouting rises within you and inspires you to put forth your best.
When you choose to take the road less traveled, it can sometimes be a bumpy ride along the way, but if you're doing it for the right reasons, then the reward is so great.
I believe that if you show people the problems and you show them the solutions they will be moved to act.
Always look at what you have left. Never look at what you have lost.
You want a friend in Washington? Get a dog.
Sometimes comparing can be a good thing: it can inspire us to work harder and reach farther. But for the most part, excessive measuring yourself up against others — especially when it becomes a way to put yourself down — is a colossal waste of time. It's a dead end. It won't make you do anything except feel horrible.
Once you begin being naughty, it is easier to go and on and on, and sooner or later something dreadful happens.
