Now, I am not going to stand here and tell you that failure is fun. That period of my life was a dark one, and I had no idea that there was going to be what the press has since represented as a kind of fairy tale resolution. I had no idea then how far the tunnel extended, and for a long time, any light at the end of it was a hope rather than a reality.

You must understand that love never keeps a man from pursuing his Personal Legend. If he abandons that pursuit, it's because it wasn't true love.

I don't make music for the charts. I make music for the people.

预测未来的最好方法就是发明它。

I'm not a piece of meat, I'm an artist.

The less you need, the freer you become.

永不放弃，永不屈服。

我不是来追求完美的，我是来展现真实的。
