Spend time with people who know how to use their days well. Just as iron sharpens iron, positive people will inspire you to be positive.

This world is a bitter tree, it has only two sweet nectar like fruits - one is soft voice and the other is company of gentlemen.

It's better to hang out with people better than you. Pick out associates whose behavior is better than yours and you'll drift in that direction.

The best thing is to always keep honest people around, because when you have a bunch of yes men around that know that you're making a mistake but let you go on with it, that's when it ruins your mind state as an artist.

I just like the company of beautiful women. I have a weakness in that department. And I suppose because I am fairly well off and a famous musician, I'm up for grabs. And that makes me an eligible bachelor in the press.

I need to be surrounded by people as passionate and as dedicated as I am.
