Nine times out of ten you take the first step in creating your own universe by picking up the phone.

Just because you made a mistake doesn't mean you are a mistake.

A man who isn't generous with his money isn't generous with his love and affection.

The difference between a calculated risk and rolling the dice can be expressed in one word: homework.

I don't wase time thinking, 'Am I doing it right?' I say, 'Am I doing it?'

My appearance is talking and I like what it is saying.

To create the life you deserve, you have to go after it. The universe that you inhabit flows from you - you don't flow from it.

Reality is the only place you can deal from. If you're still worrying about the way things should be, you haven't even approached the starting line.

Real guts are nothing more than developing your inner voice to the point where it is louder and stronger than the voice of your fear.

Success is the process of not accepting failure.

You're never too young or too old to make your own kind of mark in your own kind of time. You're never the wrong age to release the power within you to create the life you deserve.

...the only difference between a young person at the height of their exuberance and a very old person who is frail and physically wasted is time.

Free from passion and desire, you have stripped the thorns from the stem.

The end of satire is the amendment of vices by correction; and he who writes honestly is no more an enemy to the offender than the physician to the patient when he prescribes harsh remedies.

There's a thin line between interesting music and self-indulgence. We crossed it on the Passengers record.

Women are successful in the business world because the business world was created by men. Men are babies. And women areGood With Kids.

And yet--it is not beauty that inspires the deepest passion. Beauty without grace is the hook without the bait. Beauty, without expression, tires.
