Role models should be people that you know. Like your mum.

I don't hang with people I don't know. Outsiders can mess up your flow.

Know what your people are like, and make sure they do their jobs excellently.

If you got something you don't want other people to know, keep it in your pocket.

People don't know this, but early in your career, you don't just glide on to The Tonight Show.

I'm not your cookie-cutter athlete, and that scares people. People don't know how to take that.

You got to be rigorous in your appraisal system. The biggest cowards are managers who don't let people know where they stand.

Your brand is your name, basically. A lot of people don't know that they need to build their brand; your brand is what keeps you moving.

The trick to writing for people is, you have to be able to turn them on in your head. And know how they'd word something or how they'd inflect it.

Make sure that when you're going out, you wear socks, because I've been seeing some people coming out with no socks and that. You know, your toes looking like Cheetos. We don't need all of that.

I get a lot of letters from people saying, 'I want to follow in your footsteps,' and I don't know how to tell people how to follow in my footsteps, because I can't give them the opportunities that I had.

Meditation, especially for people who don't know very much about it and think it's this very hippy dippy thing, can really be powerful, terrifying even, as it lifts the rug up on your subconscious and the dust comes flying out.

For a lot of people, groups, Christians included, issues are homogenized. And so to be a Christian, I'm either this staunch, conservative Republican, or I'm this tree-hugging liberal. You're stereotyped. It's almost assumed that people know what your issues are going to be.
