“The influential man is the successful man, whether he be rich or poor.” — Orison Swett Marden Quote

The influential man is the successful man, whether he be rich or poor.

It is the hopeful, buoyant, cheerful attitude of mind that wins. Optimism is a success builder; pessimism an achievement killer.

The achievements of willpower are almost beyond computation. Scarcely anything seems impossible to the man who can will strongly enough and long enough.

There are powers inside of you which, if you could discover and use, would make of you everything you ever dreamed or imagined you could become.

We make the world we live in and shape our own environment.

Music is definitely influential on how I approach my scenes.

Public opinion can be influential, the media can be influential.

'Das Kapital,' I think, is very difficult to read, and for me, it was not very influential.

As an artist, I recognise how powerful and influential music can be, so I think to put positivity out there is important and that is me trying to make a difference.

I've always been a comedy nerd, and 'Partners in Crime' was probably more influential for me than anything else because it was not only standup, but Robert Townsend had those short films.
