The height of your achievements is determined by the depth of your self-belief, the strength of your resolve and the intensity of your efforts.

If you have a dream, don’t just sit there. Gather courage to believe that you can succeed and leave no stone unturned to make it a reality.

Don’t let mental blocks control you. Set yourself free. Confront your fear and turn the mental blocks into building blocks.

The world’s greatest achievers have been those who have always stayed focussed on their goals and have been consistent in their efforts.

Believe in yourself. Under-confidence leads to a self-fulfilling prophecy that you are not good enough for your work.

To turn your dreams into reality, all your resources, efforts and concentration should be aligned in the same direction.

Celebrate who you are and what you stand for. Give wings to your dreams and live your aspirations. You've got only one life- live it in the best way you possibly can.

You have the ability to shine and make a mark in some field. Your job is to find your niche, excel and build a lasting legacy.

There is something remarkable about each one of us. Seize the opportunity to look within and rediscover yourself.

Your life may not be 'picture perfect' but you have it in you to make it 'your best.' There's only one chance at life and you owe it to yourself to give it all you can.

Desires and wishes don’t lead to success. Plans and efforts do. Create a vision, chalk out an action plan, put in your best efforts and give yourself a headstart in achieving your dreams.

I was good and bad, but never wicked.

I think, if I had a dad, I would have went the normal college route. I'm so stoked my life panned out how it was.

...this new idea of cure instead of punishment, so humane in seeming, had in fact deprived the criminal of all rights and by taking away the name Punishment made the thing infinite.

All through school, people told me I looked like Marcia Brady.

Ambition is the grand enemy of all peace.

I did not grow up with people, you know, pounding in my head, 'This is what you've got to do, this is what you're going to do.

When you love something you just don't want to stop talking about it.

The initial sketch is always an emotion, not a concept.

Now panic beats and flutters inside my skull like a flock of starlings locked in an attic.
