I was very lucky to have had the opportunity to tour with the Beastie Boys and watched almost every set they played on all those dates. Why not? You do your set and then you get to see the Beasties play? Best deal in town.
Choose a wife rather by your ear than your eye.
Let your daughter have first of all the book of Psalms for holiness of heart, and be instructed in the Proverbs of Solomon for her godly life.
You teach your daughters the diameters of the planets and wonder when you are done that they do not delight in your company.
That's why I enjoy Davis Cup, and I really enjoyed college tennis. It's very special. You want to go out there and compete your hardest, because you don't want to let anyone down. You want to absolutely give it your all for your team. And that's sort of the mentality I've taken to pro tennis.
In the day-to-day life of a traveling musician, it's easy to miss so many details. The world goes by at high-speed; it will take your breath away.
A story in your head isn't a story. It's just a daydream until you actually write it down. So write it down.
That daydreaming mode turns out to be restorative. It's like hitting the reset button in your brain. And you don't get in that daydreaming mode typically by texting and Facebooking. You get in it by disengaging.
A good sacrifice is one that is not necessarily sound but leaves your opponent dazed and confused.
Stuff your eyes with wonder, live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.

Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people.
I think there are things that are based in your own dealings with someone that is a personal dealing, not a public dealing. Because you have personal experiences.
The thing is, often press people ask questions that are so personal that even your nearest and dearest wouldn't ask them.
Fairest and dearest, your wrath and anger are more heavy than I can bear; but learn that I cannot tell what you wish me to say without sinning against my honour too grievously.
The want to get more runs increases when there is a dearth of it. At those times, it is important to be patient and keep your calm.
Never cosign a loan. Once you have cosigned, you cannot get out of it - even on your deathbed.
When you're on your deathbed, you probably aren't counting the movies you've made.
It's kind of debatable whether or not the advertisement model is effective. Like whether Nielsen works. For years, Nielsen has been based on sampling. It's not like an electronic bullet that hits your house that tells the people at networks at all times what you're watching.
When you are in unrelenting, excruciating and debilitating pain that never goes away for years on end, your life is over.
