I get 0.5 seconds to react to a ball sometimes even less than that. I can't be thinking of what XYZ has said about me. I need to surrender myself to my natural instincts. My subconscious mind knows exactly what to do. It is trained to react. At home my family doesn't discuss media coverage.
I have a family to support. And I'm not always going to be doing exactly what I want to do.
So many of my friends are still trying to get record deals and I've had one for 10 years now where my only goal is to make the best music I can make. I've been very lucky. I have great faith that I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be and whatever happens is going to be absolutely right for me.
The road to success and the road to failure are almost exactly the same.
I've become a professional failure - in order to pay the mortgage I have to remain unemployed. Luckily a disaster always seems to befall me at exactly the right moment.
My Brat Pack buddies and I didn't exactly handle celebrity very well. Success at an early age is far more difficult to handle than failure.
Before success comes in any man's life he's sure to meet with much temporary defeat and perhaps some failures. When defeat overtakes a man the easiest and the most logical thing to do is to quit. That's exactly what the majority of men do.
I maybe had a first love and had my heart broken but reflecting on it I don't think that was love. I think as I'm getting older and having more in-depth relationships maybe I'll experience it. At the moment I don't know exactly if I've been in love.
I think the whole system of education would change if I were in charge and had the ability to make changes. I don't think I would keep Princeton exactly being Princeton.
This may sound strange but I had dreams as a kid of doing exactly what I ended up doing in my life.
