"Brick walls are there for a reason: they let us prove how badly we want things."
"When you're doing something wrong and no one is bother to tell you anymore, that's a bad place to be. It means they gave up on you. Your critics are the ones that are tellin you they still love you and care."
"It's very important to know when you're in a pissing match and it's very important to get out of it as soon as possible."
"Wait and people surprise and impress you. Even if it takes years, just keep waiting."
"Don't bail; the best gold is at the bottom of barrels of crap."
"Don't complain; just work harder."
"Be prepared: luck is where preperation meets opportunity."
