Anytime a person has Disney World in their backyard, you know they're thinking big.

I did like seven songs on Michael Jackson's Invincible album, but I might have done 60 songs to get to those seven. You don't know what's going to happen.

That's common in our industry, where some songs make the cut, some don't. It's bad when it doesn't make the cut and you don't get in on the project.

She [Beyonce]is probably the closest thing we've seen to Michael Jackson as far as having that determination and drive that I've ever seen.

It's not a normal recording shift where you do a song and you get a day to tweak it and the third day you mix it. It's like double the work in the period of time it would take to do one.

Beyonce gave us direction, and she had like four or five studios going at one time, but then she only sings what she likes. "Back Up" was one of those records.

It's just kind of, we do a lot of songs when it's an artist of that magnitude, like Beyoncé. You're not sending her one song; you're sending her 20 ideas.

Beyonce is more mature, she's her own woman. She always had it in her.

Bored with the same type of misery over and over and over again.

I had a birthday party with my family and friends at a house, and Chipotle catered. It was beautiful.

It's insulting to ask a dramatist what his view of his play is. I have no opinion

In my everyday life, I'm a jeans and button-up shirt kind of guy.

I'm lucky - we're all lucky - to be playing a game for a living.

To die is nothing. One is here, one is no longer here. It is only at the end one must be able to say 'I was a man'.

As human beings, we ought to be vulnerable. We shouldn't try to say that we can be self-sufficient or do everything that's necessary for a good life on our own, because we need other people.

Eventually you just have to realize that you're living for an audience of one. I'm not here for anyone else's approval.

You must always know how long to stay; and when to go.

Most people's historical perspective begins with the day of their birth.
