“One of the best pieces of advice I ever got was from a horse master. He told me to go slow to go fast. I think that applies to everything in life.

“In a lot of ways, I envy someone like Omar Sharif who lived in a hotel for decades.”

“Ignorance breeds antipathy. Until I got to know how computers worked, I didn't want anything to do with them. I said, 'Well, why do I need them? I write letters.' Which I still do.”

“In principle, I think the idea of rewarding a good effort is interesting, but movies are generally different from each other as are performances and the conditions on how the performances are given and how they're edited and so forth.”

“I already gave my best. I have no regrets at all.”

“If you can bring out the best in people, the success will follow.”

“Nothing goes by luck in composition. It allows of no tricks. The best you can write will be the best you are.”

To provoke that pride that a pop figure and someone so big in music globally like Drake would sing with me completely in Spanish and create this hit 'MIA.' That's the best part of it.”

“I'm selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I'm out of control, and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.”

“I see myself as the best footballer in the world. If you don't believe you are the best, then you will never achieve all that you are capable of.”
