I took some me time. I think that's a really important thing to do for yourself especially in this business. And now I feel like I'm in a really good positive place in my life.

You might think the thinner version of yourself is going to be the most positive or confident but that's not how it is for me. When I'm over 200 pounds that's when I'm the most confident version of myself.

It comes down to building your own world out here on the road. It's who you surround yourself with. My band and crew are really positive guys.

I believe that when you work on yourself you are attracted by different more positive beings.

Facing the press is not easy but because you have to go you have to try to take a lot of positive things for yourself from these face-to-face meetings.

I don't think of myself as a role model. I do try to live in a compassionate considerate and positive way. The only advice I can offer is to find what you love to do find the joy in it and express yourself through your passion.

You should tell yourself frequently 'I will only react to constructive suggestions.' This gives you positive ammunition against your own negative thoughts and those of others.

Listening is a positive act: you have to put yourself out to do it.

You should also appreciate the goodness around you and surround yourself with positive people.

Perhaps one of the only positive pieces of advice that I was ever given was that supplied by an old courtier who observed: Only two rules really count. Never miss an opportunity to relieve yourself never miss a chance to sit down and rest your feet.
