Just stay ready. Stay in shape and then you don't have to rush to train before the movie starts. I'll show you my abs later because I’m in shape. But that idea, if you stay ready, you don’t have to get ready.

I control every interaction with every human being I'm with. I can actually manage any situation with 98 percent of the people on Earth.

I love creating music and television and film. I love the hustle, I love the grind, I love working sixteen- and eighteen-hour days and waking up at four the next morning and going to the gym. I love that.

You can't win enough, you can't have enough money, you can't succeed enough. There is not enough. The only thing that will ever satiate that existential thirst is love. And I just remember that day I made the shift from wanting to be a winner to wanting to have the most powerful, deep, and beautiful relationships I could possibly have.

I've trained myself to illuminate the things in my personality that are likable and to hide and protect the things that are less likeable.

Haters are the people who will broadcast your failures and whisper your success.
Will Smith

The thing I wanted to focus on first was that I wanted to graduate, and (with me) coming back, I knew that I wanted another national championship. Another national championship is everyone's main goal, but we have to take it one game at a time. We can't get ahead of ourselves. We've got Washington first, then we'll see what happens.

The big thing I tell my kids is you have to control how you label things. It's very important to me they understand the power they have to create the lives that they want.
