“Don’t let anyone ever make you feel you don’t deserve what you want.”

I like to set up obstacles and defeat them.

The reason that you dance and sing is to make the audience feel like they’re dancing and singing. As long as you’re having fun with it and giving it 100 percent, they’re gonna feel that.

I never want to feel like I’ve achieved my goal. It’s like Chinese farmers. They never admit that it’s a good season. They feel like they’ll be punished.

I generally don’t think most situations can be labeled as black or white.

It’s kind of a rule of thumb for me to self-doubt going into any kind of project. I always think that I shouldn’t be doing it and I don’t know how to do it and I’m going to fail and that I fooled them. I always try to find a way out.

If you are just safe about the choices you make, you don’t grow.

I know the English fans will treat players as they deserve, and I’m not worried about that in the slightest.

Decide what you want. Believe you can have it. Believe you deserve it and believe it’s possible for you.

Deserves it! I daresay he does. Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.

Everyone on Earth, they’d tell us, was carrying around an unseen history, and that alone deserved some tolerance.

If you end up with a boring miserable life because you listened to your mom, your dad, your teacher, your priest, or some guy on television telling you how to do your shit, then you deserve it.

I don’t know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
