Copying is about reverse-engineering.

The only way to find your voice is to use it. It’s hardwired, built into you. Talk about the things you love. Your voice will follow.

Don't wait until you know who you are to get started.

Be curious about the world in which you live. Look things up. Chase down every reference. Go deeper than anybody else--that's how you'll get ahead.

You can’t be content with mastery; you have to push yourself to become a student again.

You’re only going to be as good as the stuff you surround yourself with.

I would like to talk about some of the things that happened that made me know that there was something wrong in the south from a child.

The secret to success is to offend the greatest number of people.

It's like someone jammed an electric light bulb in your face, and busted it. I thought half my head was blowed off...When he knocked me down I could have stayed there for three weeks.

I've found that taking shortcuts will get you to the place you don't want to be much quicker than they get u to the place u want to be.

You can't get a suit of armour and a rubber chicken just like that. You have to plan ahead.

The conversations you are most resisting are the conversations you most need to be having.
