I have a lot of friends that I'd like to shout out but I don't think anyone will know who they are.

I'm just being myself. I'm not a very complex guy; I'm not a very studious, crazy intellectual guy. I'm just a guy.

Patience is important, and also, if you don't want to do it, don't do it. But if you do, do. That's a general rule in how I live my life.

You never truly understand what you are missing until you have it in your grasp and push it away.
