“It is better to risk starving to death than surrender. If you give up on your dreams, what’s left?”

Choose love, and don’t ever let fear turn you against your playful heart.

I’m very serious about no alcohol, no drugs. Life is too beautiful.

As far as I can tell, it’s just about letting the universe know what you want and then working toward it while letting go of how it comes to pass.

I think I could go away tomorrow. I’ve already accomplished something. It’s such a selfish business that sometimes I get sick of myself.

I really want to love somebody. I do. I just don’t know if it’s possible forever and ever.

I’ve never been one to sit back and go, ‘I’d better do what the audience wants me to do, because I don’t want to lose them.’

If you’ve got a talent, protect it.

Isn’t it cool when the days that are supposed to feel good, actually do?

A better you means a better universe.

My dad was like a stage mother he always pushed me to do what I wanted.

The purpose of art is to bring people into presence.

The money can be a hindrance to someone like me because the danger is that you start thinking, ‘Is that a $20 million take?’ That kind of thing, and being self-critical.

Our love is like a red, red rose and I am a little thorny.

Life doesn’t happen to you. It happens for you.

If you aren’t in the moment, you are either looking forward to uncertainty, or back to pain and regret.

There is a huge difference between a dog that is going to eat you in your mind and an actual dog that’s going to eat you.

And despite it all, we dream. That is our greatest resistance.

Every dream deserves a chance to live.

When I was seven I wanted to be a footballer, but when I was 14, I wanted to be a model. Look where it’s put me now!

Ambition has to be joined with expectancy. A sense that you have a dream for yourself that you believe can happen.

I dream a lot about football and a lot of them have come true for me.

My dream was to not get a day job but to sleep, wake up and do my music. I want to keep that dream forever.

Don’t be afraid to be ambitious about your goals. Hard work never stops. Neither should your dreams.

I honestly never dreamed at the time that I would one day own the Starbucks and or be in a position where we would have more than 10,000 stores around the world. It has just been an incredible journey for all of us.
