The way the people around you position themselves around you to get in your pockets and in your mind is infuriating to me.

I'm cool with failing so long as I know that there are people around me that love me unconditionally.

Most people don't know what it's like to stand up there and speak their mind. I have a venue to do that. I get paid to do that. It's not like I'm doing heavy lifting up there. It's not like I'm solving the world's problems. It's like I'm hanging out with a bunch of people and it's cool.

If you don't have the right people around you and you're moving at a million miles an hour you can lose yourself.

My father told me 'Name your price in the beginning. If it ever gets more expensive than the price you name, get out of there.'

Most of the people around me have a vested interest in how much money I make. You know, so a celebrity could find themselves in a position where people could have meetings about their life without them involved. And when I say 'their life' I mean not their professional life either. They could talk about their personal life.
