I'm not afraid of being forgotten because my music won't be.

A cake is only as good as the ingredients you put into it.

Great design solves problems you didn't know you had in ways you never expected.

I have self-doubt. I have insecurity. I have fear of failure. I have nights when I show up at the arena and I’m like, “My back hurts, my feet hurt, my knees hurt. I don’t have it. I just want to chill.” We all have self-doubt. You don’t deny it, but you also don’t capitulate to it. You embrace it.

但我想让你们知道，任何事情的一开始对于我们未必明朗，正如我所说我19岁（1973年）就开始上电视，然而到了1994年我才渐渐清楚，所以不要期待一下子就想清楚、并马上明白自己的使命。
