Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
You never know what motivates you.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
It's always too early to quit.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Part of the reason that I moved to Los Angeles is that even though my mom introduced me to all kinds of music, I really wanted to work on having my own identify, on being who I am and doing what I do, and seeing how people responded.
