Just never give up. Try to believe in yourself and don't let negativity wear you down.

At school I had a really hard time being a guitar player. It’s like being a male ballerina in a way. It’s not the norm.

One will bother you only if you have a karmic account with him. No one can bother you without your signature (karmic cause). All this is due solely to your signature.

If you don't know how to pronounce a word, say it loud!" (William Strunk) ... Why compound ignorance with inaudibility?

Bobby McGee' was the song that made the difference for me. Every time I sing it, I still think of Janis.

God loves me. I'm not here just to fill a place, just to be a number. He has chosen me for a purpose. I know it.
