"The lizard isn't listening and the lizard doesn't care."
"Courage is the willingness to speak the truth about what you see and to own what you say."
"And yet the real success goes to those who obsess. The focus that leads you through the Dip to the other side is rewarded by a marketplace in search of the best in the world.

"Hard work is about risk. It begins when you deal with the things that you'd rather not deal with: fear of failure, fear of standing out, fear of rejection. Hard work is about training yourself to leap over this barrier, tunnel under that barrier, drive through the other barrier. And after you've done that, to do it again the next day"
"You can spend your time on stage pleasing the heckler in the back, or you can devote it to the audience that came to hear you perform."
