A lot of people would say ‘sexy’ is about the body. But to me, ‘sexy’ is a woman with confidence. I admire women who have very little fear.

You can’t always say what you’d like to say.
Anybody is able to doubt me. I say, ‘Come with your criticism to polish the diamond of the truth.’ People need to wake up to their own power. Everybody has this nature.

But as they say about sharks, it’s not the ones you see that you have to worry about, it’s the ones you don’t see.

I do not think it is an exaggeration to say history is largely a history of inflation, usually inflations engineered by governments for the gain of governments.
I always say that I was born in the wrong era. I should’ve been born in the ’70s or ’80s when love meant so much more than it does today. In this busy world, we forget to find each other, fall in love, and go all the way for our soul mates.
The more you know the less you need to say.
There is nothing like a live performance. You can look at things on television, and you can look at things on YouTube, but when you get in a room full of people and you say one joke, and everyone’s laughing at the same thing, it’s a really great experience.

Every time I say something that’s extremely truthful out loud, it literally breaks the Internet.
Look wise, say nothing, and grunt. Speech was given to conceal thought.
Some people say I’ve got a five-octave range, which is ridiculous. That would mean I’d sing like Mariah Carey or that alien in ‘The Fifth Element.’ And I’m nothing like that blue alien. I’ve got a range of about 3 1/2 octaves.
Blessed is the man, who having nothing to say, abstains from giving wordy evidence of the fact.
If you understood everything I say, you’d be me!

I say, beware of all enterprises that require new clothes, and not rather a new wearer of clothes.
