People Quotes

The way people reacted to me in dressing rooms and so on was incredibly aggressive. They know every record and they seem to think they should nudge me or bump into me as they go past. It was this incredible performance that used to amuse me. In the early days, people were drawn towards us like they'd be drawn towards a car smash...There is a definite relationship between that fanaticism and the fan that, as a performer, you expose more of yourself, of the undercurrents of your personality. Most rock personalities subdue that or choose not to explore it.

I hate it when people call themselves 'entrepreneurs' when what they're really trying to do is launch a startup and then sell of go public, so they can cash in and move on. They're unwilling to do the work it takes to build a real company, which is the hardest work in business.

Can you believe this shit? Hell has frozen over. Now, a lot of people come up here and thank Jesus for this award. I want you to know that no one had less to do with this award than Jesus.

What makes you the most insecure in life? Is it the success of others? Is it people who are doing what you want to do someday but you can’t do currently? Is it constant comparison to people and things that are not even running the same race as you? Do the exact opposite of what insecurity tells you to do. Cheer for somebody who is winning when you’re tempted to tear them down. Reach out to the person who you wish would reach out to you. When comparison creeps in, remind yourself that you are content simply being you. Insecurity’s grip on your life is not as tight as you may imagine.
