Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Well done is better than well said.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Always desire to learn something useful.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
I can, therefore I am.
Never complain and never explain.
What I would say about Barney Eastwood is that when our relationship worked, it worked extremely well. He had a lot of strengths as a promoter and a manager.
