If you think you fit into a situation, it's worth trying.

All the money in the world is spent on feeling good.

No second chances in the land of a thousand dances, the valley of ten million insanities.

Bad music can make you weak.

You have to be around people you trust; otherwise you can't do anything - you're afraid, you're paranoid, and you can't do any work.

Los Angeles is not Mexico City, but we have many fine nightclubs and restaurants here. It is enough. One must not aim too high.

You're not born with certain skills; you have to acquire them.

Musicians understand each other through means other that speaking.

Beautiful tunes are all very good and fine, and great musicians are always great, but that alone isn't enough.

Musicians communicate in other ways. That's just something you rely on.

I have seen the light in the wilderness and I must follow it.

Writing a book is like sliding down a rainbow! Marketing it is like trudging through a field of chewed bubblegum on a hot, sticky day.

Strategy doesn't change when hard times arrive. Consumers' willingness to try, and to stay loyal, remains, the goal. Winners know this; their brand focus and strategy remains consistent.

I've always got such high expectations for myself. I'm aware of them, but I can't relax them.

We are all seeking to live up to normative standards that we recognize, even if we don't all recognize the same standards. This is something basic that we have in common despite our differences.

I'm very, very curious about how people live under the volcano, how they handle the permanence of danger.
