If you put in the work, put in the time, put in the effort, you're going to reap the benefits.
Work hard and believe in yourself even when nobody else believes in you.
I'm the best corner in the game. When you try me with a sorry receiver like Crabtree, that is the result you are going to get. Don't you ever talk about me.
Your circumstances don't dictate your future. ... Your circumstances don't limit you.
Education is fundamental to any success. That's your baseboard.
I kind of go to the beat of my own drum.
I don't want to be an island. I want to be more of a tourist attraction. You stop here, I take your money and you go.
Both criticism and praise is part of putting yourself out there.
If you want to judge me, I can handle it.
Sometimes you have to be somebody you're not.
Don't you open your mouth about the best!
The edge came from the slights I've had throughout my life, the slights I have dealt with through the entirety of my life. It wasn't one day when somebody said something and that made me upset and now I'm over it. I'm not going to stop playing with an edge because that's what got me here. That's just how I play the game. I can't play any other way.
Walt had a seat-of-the-pants approach on what he wanted musically. We kind of 'read' the boss and had a very high batting average, but there were occasions when he felt we had just written the wrong piece for the situation he wanted. We invariably listened to what he wanted - he was very descriptive in what he wanted and we could read him. We'd go back to the drawing board and work out what he wanted. He was a great inspiration, but a tough taskmaster.
We’ve been in all the big games, we’ve been in small games, and we’ve treated them all the same and I think that mentality is what’s helped us get to the point where we are now.
Every TV timeout, I went up and said it right to Brady: 'Please keep trying me. I'm going to take it from you.'
If I don't have the books to read, if I don't have the information to study, how can I succeed? That's a lot of the stuff I would focus on if I was elected because I think knowledge is power.
I don't care about people kissing my ass or telling me how great I am. I don't really give a damn. I read the bad stuff a whole lot more than I read the good stuff. I read that because there are always going to be critics who are going to say how good you aren't.
The success doesn't define you. The success isn't what gave you the edge in the first place. The failure didn't give me the edge, either.
It's an awesome feeling being a father, because you never think you can fall in love with something so quickly. It was almost immediate.
The challenge in writing the songs for The Aristocats truly fell on the animators & director of the film. Robert & I wrote the initial songs for the film, just prior to leaving full-time employment at the Walt Disney Studios. Therefore, some of the songs we wrote for The Aristocats were never used. I believe, therefore, the challenge fell upon the makers of the film to select what songs made the final cut.
I think people somehow get a skewed view of Tom Brady. That he's just a clean-cut guy that does everything right and never says a bad word to anyone. We know him to be otherwise.
There are a lot of things my mother taught me and helped me and disciplined me and made sure I stayed on the right track. And there are a ton of things that only my father could have taught me.
He did look like the Monopoly man, but it was smooth. I thought he was going to pull a monocle out. That would have been awesome. And did you see the pocket watch? That was incredible.
You think, "Aw man, I would never want somebody else's poop on my hand," but when it's your child, "Oh, it's not that bad, I'll just wash it off."
Everybody is a critic, everybody has a voice, everybody can reach you. Everybody is an expert and that's what makes it fun.
