“They’ve imitated me so good that sometimes I hear people copying my mistakes”

You have to use fantasy to show different sides to reality. That’s how it can bend.

Music is a safe kind of high.

I used to live in a room full of mirrors; all I could see was me. I take my spirit and I crash my mirrors, now the whole world is here for me to see.

Music makes me high on stage, and that’s the truth. It’s like being almost addicted to music.

If I’m free, it’s because I’m always running.

Knowledge talks, wisdom listens.

Music is my religion.

The smiling portrait of you is still hanging on my frowning wall.

Don’t waste your time thinkin’ about bad things.

When I die, I want people to play my music, go wild and freak out and do anything they want to do.

Drifting, On a sea of forgotten teardrops, On a lifeboat, Sailing for Your love

Don’t let your imagination take you by surprise.

Anybody can do anything, it’s up to themselves. All it takes is the right intentions.

Now if I don’t meet you no more in this world, then I’ll, I’ll meet you in the next one, and don’t be late, don’t be late, cause I’m a voodoo chile.

I think that we honor ourselves by honoring our past.

The artist draws the people. The whole idea is for people to dig themselves, just mingle around meeting different other people. That’s cool.

Good leaders must know how to reward those who succeed and know when to retrain, move, or fire ineffective staff.

Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.

Tell me to calm down. Go ahead. Tell me I’m crazy. Tell me how it actually works. Try to make me feel small and insignificant. But I see you. For the insecure, power clutching man you are. Good luck. You need it.

This is good for you. Death is a thing of beauty, and it needs to be executed in such a way that does it justice.

I still have a lot of pleasure doing them, but as time goes by I come to appreciate more clearly which paintings are good and which should be discarded.

Being good in business is the most fascinating kind of art.

To wanna be me is to go through not just the good but the bad. You wanna share my story identically? Man, you gonna take some lumps.

You will never maximize your potential in any area without coaching. It is impossible. You may be good. You may even be better than everyone else. But without outside input you will never be as good as you could be.
