Life loves to be taken by the lapel and told: "I'm with you kid. Let's go."

I have stood on a mountain of no's for one yes.

You know the greatest thing is passion, without it what have you got?

You live out the confusions until they become clear.

When you come out of the storm you won’t be the same person who walked in.
