“When I accomplish ten times what I’ve accomplished already, I’ll start thinking about that. But a better way to put it is I kind of forget about it. I do it and I forget about it. And I just work.”

There were a lot of days when I thought maybe this isn’t what I should be doing. There’ve been a lot of days where you get to the point where you’re like.

I’m going to line it up in seven days and seven nights. I’m going to document it, out the footage out, show people it’s not a fluke.

It’s not like I feel like I’ve accomplished nothing, I just have to forget about what I’ve accomplished and just accomplish more.

“I don’t know if I’ve got the will to even do this.” It’s the type of game that doesn’t let you walk away so that’s what happened, I just kept coming back to it until something really happened for me.

I’m just going to do music and when I feel like I’ve gotten enough music to put an album together then that’s when I’m going to do it.

I’m not trying to say I accomplished nothing, I’m just trying to say that at this point in my life, I don’t want to look at what I’ve accomplished and hold it like it’s my trophy. I’ve got so much more to do; I don’t want to put that gold medal around my neck yet.

I as an artist, as an individual, I have a certain affect on people.

God built the Earth in seven days and seven nights, that’s how I’m going to approach doing the album. So when it’s time for me to actually finish up the album and do final cuts of everything.

What you see and what you hear on YouTube and the News and all that, it’s not what it looks like, it’s not what it seems, it’s not what it is. Most of the time when you look at somebody off of an image they’ve built, it’s the exact reversal of whatever that image is.

I spent so much time focusing on haters that I forgot about the people that actually love me. And that’s who I’m focused on this time around: the people that want to listen. The people that don’t want to listen, don’t listen. This is for the people that want to.

It’s the Tiger Woods effect. What he was able to accomplish at such a young age – he drew me to the game, and I can only speak for myself, but a lot of the players that are my age saw Tiger in his prime when we were all teenagers.

It will be a great accomplishment if I become the best player in the world. But if my children can grow up with great core values and become great people and do good things and are happy, then, man, that would bring me great joy.

You get whatever accomplishment you are willing to declare.

I have brought myself, by long meditation, to the conviction that a human being with a settled purpose must accomplish it, and that nothing can resist a will which will stake even existence upon its fulfillment.

Even if the doctor does not give you a year, even if he hesitates about a month, make one brave push and see what can be accomplished in a week.

Hey, I think it’s easy for guys to hit .300 and stay in the big leagues. Hit .200 and try to stick around as long as I did; I think it’s a much greater accomplishment. That’s hard.

Nothing important was ever accomplished without chutzpah. Columbus had chutzpah. The signers of the Declaration of Independence had chutzpah.

We must recognize that this massive economic bloc that’s emerging in North America cannot be accomplished unilaterally. It must be accomplished in partnership with Mexico and Canada.
