I am a bit of a workaholic, and I am still not sure what a "weekend" is all about. I love what I do, and I do what I love.

Today, where you come from seems less and less important, as globalization is the new order. I prefer the old world.

As all entrepreneurs will say, "surround yourself with good people". That is the hardest thing : finding good people.

An entrepreneur needs to have values. Values that are wholesome.

There are differences in the businesses themselves, but the fundamentals are the same: give customers a good experience, charge them a reasonable price, listen to them, and treat them with respect.

Creating art (music, books, films, etc.) can be beautiful and liberating, but trying to sell art, well, that is the movie business. There are few winners, and lots and lots of losers.

Entrepreneurs need to listen. They don't need to be good listeners (although it can only help) but they need to know when to listen.

When things go right (and they go right a lot - you just got to keep trying) there is nothing to really laugh about.

Business is full of pain and hardship and with that, laughter and release.

Obsession makes my life bad and my work good.

Don't take yourself too seriously - learn to laugh. Hire slowly and fire fast. And the most important thing is: you never invest in ideas, only in people!

To the right person you will BE everything.

The only way to be happy is to realise how much depends on how you look at things

Things do not pass for what they are, but for what they seem. Most things are judged by their jackets.

A lot of my work is helping people to find their own life's purpose and then follow it. I find that when people are not working on their life's purpose there is a sense of emptiness and anxiety.

I'm uncomfortable with being famous. I hate it. But I love making music. I love getting paid to do it, and I love getting on my boat after I get paid to do it.

We may have charted all the continents on the planet, and we may have discovered all the mammals, but that doesn't mean that there's nothing left to explore on Earth.

Other world? There is no other world; here or nowhere is the whole fact.

I look on Sculpture as history. I do not think the Apollo and the Jove impossible in flesh and blood. Every trait the artist recorded in stone, he had seen in life, and better than his copy.

The internet was supposed to homogenize everyone by connecting us all. Instead what it's allowed is silos of interest.

I tell the truth through music. Other people tend to catch on and agree with my truth and it turns out we are all really similar.
