I worked half my life to be an overnight success and still it took me by surprise.

Approach the game with no preset agendas and you'll probably come away surprised at your overall efforts.

Society is always taken by surprise at any new example of common sense.

When onstage I always try to take my audience through as many emotions as I possibly can. I want them to go from laughter to tears be shocked and surprised and walk out the door with a renewed sense of themselves - and maybe a smile.

I have been a reader of Science Fiction and Fantasy for a long time since I was 11 or 12 I think so I understand it and I'm not at all surprised that readers of the genre might enjoy my books.

And it's sad because it's like a surprise to people - almost an anomaly - when artists are actually refined and trained on an instrument. That's the last thing people think about.

I love surprises - champagne and strawberries all that pampering romantic stuff. Guys ought to know how to pamper their women properly.

I'm into all that sappy stuff - a surprise picnic nice dinner or traveling. I'm kind of an old romantic.

It is still a surprise when people tell me that I've had an influence on them particularly when it's someone I really respect.

I think it's important for artists to work together. It's great for fans to see like Ludacris came out to our show in Atlanta and kinda made a surprise appearance there it shows a mutual respect for what each other does.
