All my life, as down an abyss without a bottom. I have been pouring van loads of information into that vacancy of oblivion I call my mind.
I had been an academic all my life. As academics, you tend to believe the smartest people are in academia.
A big part of my life is music education because it changed my life - but arts, academics and athletics should all be equally treated in the school.
Music is my life, professionally, for nearly 60 years. To be recognized by the academy is still the highest honor.
I have these new policies toward my life, like 'I will not accelerate when I see the yellow light.'
I went through a lot of bullying early on. Girls made my life a living hell. We had come to America from a different country. My brother and I had accents. It was very tough.
Justin Timberlake is the single most talented human being I've ever met in my life, and it sickens me. He is, like, 12 years old or something! He has 0 percent body fat, he is musically gifted, he has a great ear for accents, and he is hilarious.
In my whole career, all I wanted was acceptance from Kid Cudi. I don't care about nothing else! This dude saved my life.
I've always kinda been a little outcast myself, a little oddball, doin' my thing, my own way. And it's been hard for me to, to be accepted, certainly in the early years of my life.
The Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute accepts people of any race. We don't discriminate against anyone. We teach people to reach their highest potential. I set examples by the way I lead my life.
There have been two great accidents in my life. One was the trolley, and the other was Diego. Diego was by far the worst.
My life has been a fortunate one; I was born under a lucky star. It seems as if both wind and tide had favoured me. I have suffered no great losses, or defeats, or illness, or accidents, and have undergone no great struggles or privations; I have had no grouch. I have not wanted the earth.
I've never been much for the accolades and for the trophies and for the merits because at one time in my life I kind of got bored of all those.
I can't really change my life to accommodate people who are jealous. I don't see why I should.
Whatever I've experienced in my life is a part of my story, and I'm proud of that. But it's someone who wakes up early, works all day, believes in charitable work, business-minded, diligent, accountable, problem-solving... I'm so much about school, consistency and tradition.
I'm not proud of this at all, but I'm someone who has relied on business managers and accountants and career managers to run the whole bureaucratic side of my life for the last 16 years, so anything, from filing tax returns to paying credit card statements, is something that I feel rather fortunate to have been out of the loop on.
I worked in accounting for two and a half years, realized that wasn't what I wanted to do with the rest of my life, and decided I was just going to give comedy a try.
When I graduated from college, I tried my hardest to get a job at an accounting firm, and it just wasn't meant to be. I ended up delivering pizzas and newspapers. I knew my life was cracked up to be a little more.
All my life I have been taught to take the high road and never to dignify salacious or false accusations and I have been taught never, never to lie.
I have no regrets about doing 'Strictly.' This is the biggest achievement of my life.
