“Success to me does not mean money.”

Music is one of the most essential things in life. It is what teaches us.

I think my type of personality has all music inside of it, so I am full of music, without even knowing it, without even learning it, without even hearing it.

I am expressing myself truthfully. That is an important thing.

Today, music is great for entertainment, but it is lacking soul; it’s lacking substance, and it’s difficult to find good stuff.

I’m inspired to do music. I really can’t stop unless I stop being inspired.

It’s very important that we instill some respect for the parents.

It’s important to make sure you move your body every day. 

Hemp is a part of the cannabis plant, and it is very useful.

Everything is connected. There is nothing that is not connected.

I’ve never had a sense of entitlement. I saw how hard my father worked for his money, and it was always made very clear to me that things wouldn’t just be given to me.

A little beauty is preferable to much wealth.

Let’s be realistic, how many people are buying a $2,000 skirt? I love to design things that people can actually buy. I’m staggered by what a boot costs today.

My dad said if you become a tennis professional just make sure you get into the top hundred, because you have to make a little bit of money. You make a living so you can pay your coaching and, you know, your travels.

One’s virtue is all that one truly has, because it is not imperiled by the vicissitudes of fortune.

Higher taxes never reduce the deficit. Governments spend whatever they take in and then whatever they can get away with.

Ah, take the Cash, and let the Credit go, Nor heed the rumble of a distant Drum!
