I'm very aware and very conscious of the path I chose in life, and very aware of the path I didn't choose.

I know my flaws before other people point them out to me.

Happiness and confidence are the prettiest things you can wear.

You know, when Michael Jackson does the moonwalk, he's showing off! When Prince or Hendrix do a guitar solo, it's confidence! I would hate to be at a show and some nervous wreck is sweating up there and doesn't feel like he deserves to be there.

I don't look at a knife the way I used to. I'm more aware of what it is. I think twice. This is a key finger. It's in every chord.

Don't be afraid to assert yourself, have confidence in your abilities and don't let the bastards get you down.
