Do not let a flattering woman coax and wheedle you and deceive you; she is after your barn.
Either you live by the barometer of the music critics, or you live by your own. I choose the latter.
You have to have your own internal barometer of what is too far. I try and consider feelings of people in the audience. What you have to try and do is that when there is something that could be seen as a transgression, you actually have a reason to justify the joke.
What really counts isn't whether your instrument is Baroque or modern: it's your mindset.
It's not good for you to be barred from traveling to certain places in your head because some skeleton is in the closet.
Oh, yes; you Virginians shed barrels of perspiration while standing off at a distance and superintending the work your slaves do for you. It is different with us. Here it is every fellow for himself, or he doesn't get there.

It's way more fun to tell jokes for an hour than it is to sit in a room and bash your head against the wall trying to think of sketches.
We're supposed to be an entrepreneurial company; we're meant to be expanding and looking for opportunities - but the minute you do it, you get your head bashed in.
Pay your utilities, gas and other basic needs before paying on your debts.
Entertainment is there to improve people's quality of life. After your basic needs, there's entertainment.
It's OK to have your eggs in one basket as long as you control what happens to that basket.
The way to become rich is to put all your eggs in one basket and then watch that basket.
Basketball is a simple game. Your goal is penetration, get the ball close to the basket, and there are three ways to do that. Pass, dribble and offensive rebound.
Grit may carry risk because it's about putting all your eggs in one basket, to some extent.
