Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.
Yes, I guess you could say I am a loner, but I feel more lonely in a crowed room with boring people than I feel on my own.
Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad, and that's why I call you dad, because you are so special to me. You taught me the game and you taught me how to play it right.
However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at.
President of the United States is you know, our boss, so you know, the President and the First Lady are kinda like the Mom and the Dad of the country. And when your Dad says something you listen.
Cinema in India is like brushing your teeth in the morning. You can't escape it.
Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!

It is by going down into the abyss that we recover the treasures of life. Where you stumble, there lies your treasure.
I needed to join the Navy. If you ask the people in Europe who won World War II, they don't say the Allies, they say the United States won the war and saved the world.
You can pick songs that sound like hits, but if it's not something that somebody wants to tell their friends, 'Hey man, have you heard this song?' then I don't think it's worth it. The only way to get your music out there, is for someone to tell their friends about it.
