“Never forget where you came from, where your hometown is, what you grew from. I came from a small town that people don’t get out of. People don’t associate themselves with what they came from. I think you need that to keep yourself well-rounded.”

“I almost flunked out of high school. I had a terrible time in high school. I didn’t think I was going to go to college. I went to college, and I graduated. I have a great job now. I would say to high school kids who aren’t doing too well: If you’re not doing too well and you don’t feel great about yourself, don’t worry. It’s not the end of the world. Don’t let high school ruin your life. Find your own way, and don’t let anyone try to tell you what to do.”

“Don’t worry about what box other people are going to try and fit you into. Figure yourself out without worrying about whatever it is you are.”

“A lot of people spend too much of their time worrying about how they seem to other people. If you take a second to think about how much time you spend thinking about what other people have done, you realize that no one cares. You might worry that they’re caring. If you do something embarrassing, it is not going to end your life. Your life will continue just as it always has. And the sooner you realize that no matter what you do you’re going to be okay, the better you’ll be.”
