If you listen to your fears you will die never knowing what a great person you might have been.

With my daughter we do arts and crafts we read a lot we listen to music and we cut the strings off balloons and bounce them around after birthday parties.

The best teacher is the one who suggests rather than dogmatizes and inspires his listener with the wish to teach himself.

Throughout my life I have always been amazed that people couldn't listen to other people that they couldn't hear their best intent that there seemed to be an enormous need to demonize.

I love that for Barack there is no such thing as 'us' and 'them' - he doesn't care whether you're a Democrat a Republican or none of the above... he knows that we all love our country... and he's always ready to listen to good ideas... he's always looking for the very best in everyone he meets.

I owe my success to having listened respectfully to the very best advice and then going away and doing the exact opposite.

Experience taught me a few things. One is to listen to your gut no matter how good something sounds on paper. The second is that you're generally better off sticking with what you know. And the third is that sometimes your best investments are the ones you don't make.

Personally I just think rap music is the best thing out there period. If you look at my deck in my car radio you're always going to find a hip-hop tape that's all I buy that's all I live that's all I listen to that's all I love.

Listening to my regular favourites - Mozart Beethoven Brahms and so on - I always feel quite misguidedly that nothing can be too bad if such beauty and brilliance exists in the world.

Some songs you get. Some songs you may not. And I think that's the beauty of art: to question and to ask to understand the deeper meaning after two or three or four listenings.
