I never take advice from anyone more messed up than I am.
I’m not an actor who appears on the stage and gives people advice on how to live or what to do and entertains them. It is not my specialty.
The only foreign policy advice I heard from China was when they said to Sudan, ‘Don’t go back to war.’ That’s all they said. They didn’t push anything else.
‘Pain’ is more indicative of what I like to do. I’m lyric-conscious. I like to tell stories, give advice. Instead of writing a ‘Dear Abby’ column, I do it on records.
Never give anyone the advice to buy or sell shares, because the most benevolent price of advice can turn out badly.
I don’t think a reporter should give advice or make predictions.
Since women ask me about male motives all the time, I can offer a bit of advice. If you feel like you’re going to get hurt then you shouldn’t be there in the first place. That’s the way I look at relationships.
When I got to the Mavericks people were all giving me advice – change this, change that – and one thing that I didn’t do was fire anybody.
In an emergency, you rarely get one consistent piece of advice. You usually have two or three people with two or three different ideas. So you want to have your own set of thoughts.
My father told me once not to expect anything from anybody so I wouldn’t be disappointed. If somebody was nice and did nice things for me, I should be overjoyed, but I shouldn’t go through life expecting it, which is very good advice.
After forty a woman has to choose between losing her figure or her face. My advice is to keep your face, and stay sitting down.
When you grow up in life and you’re poor, and because you’re an athlete or you got rich overnight in music, unless you have access to financial advice or for the transition or matriculation of that process, then of course, you’re going to go broke.
I think the best advice came from Drew Barrymore, about always finding love in everything you do and keeping a positive attitude and being thankful.
Now that it’s officially summer, here’s my advice to parents who want to continue teaching their kids during the next two months and learn something themselves: visit Civil War battlefields.
Leading by example is the most powerful advice you can give to anybody.
Lily’s really together – she’s a sharp kid and one of the smartest human beings I have ever met. Whatever she is doing, if she needs any advice, I’m there for her. Kids are going to make their own decisions, but I guess that the only thing you can do as a parent is to offer support. And I do.
My advice to a new husband is nothing more than ‘husbands, love your wives.’ And ‘love your wife as Christ has loved the church.’ Never forget that you are Christ’s representative in serving your wife.
My advice for folks on networking is give, give, give. You will later receive. But you are really planting these seeds. Some of them will die, and they won’t become anything. Many of them will take many, many years before they pay off for you if at all.
The closest person in the industry to me who is like a big brother is Tyrese. He gives me a lot of good advice. We both do the same things. We’re both from the same background.
No one wants advice – only corroboration.
So many organizations have a mentoring arm, but they don’t really do it. Their idea of mentoring a kid is giving them general advice. But what they need to do is read with children.
My advice to young entrepreneurs is not to accept defeat in the face of odds, and challenge negative forces with hope, self-confidence and conviction.
If I do a scene with an actor who doesn’t have much experience, I say, ‘I tell you what we’re going to do: You just listen to me, and then you respond. We don’t have to do any acting.’ And that’s good advice because you shouldn’t see the acting.
Good advice is one of those injuries which a good man ought, if possible, to forgive, but at all events to forget at once.
Liberals need to take the advice they routinely give to conservatives: that there are consequences to their divisive rhetoric, and that in their attempts to score political points, they are also inciting violence.
My only advice is don’t tattoo some guy’s name on yourself. Ever. I’ve done it twice. Twice! I’m in the process of getting both removed. It’s the most painful thing imaginable.
I knew Sinatra for 38 years. He was like my father. Frank Sinatra was my ‘dad.’ He treated me like his son. He gave me the best advice about singing, about this and that… He was a very sensitive man, very astute, one of the sharpest men that I ever met in my life.
I met Steve Austin at an airport in 2005, and he gave me the best piece of advice I could ever receive – to keep running my mouth and never stop talking! I took that advice to heart, and it has helped me get where I am today.
With Twitter and other social networking tools, you can get a lot of advice from great people. I learn more from Twitter than any survey or discussion with a big company.
The only advice I can give to aspiring writers is don’t do it unless you’re willing to give your whole life to it. Red wine and garlic also helps.
I wish I could give you a lot of advice, based on my experience of winning political debates. But I don’t have that experience. My only experience is at losing them.
I’ve got some advice for the young: If you’ve got anything you really want to do, don’t wait until you’re 93.
I do want to learn the way to do it over here. I’m not really looking to just go about my way and do it in the Japanese way that I’ve been doing. Basically, I’ll try to get some advice, learn the way it’s done here and go about it.
You know how advice is. You only want it if it agrees with what you wanted to do anyway.
The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. It is never of any use to oneself.
If you look at my Instagram, girls are just beating down my door for tips or a job or mentorship. I can’t hire every single one of them. My story is one thing that gives them hope. It’s an unconventional story with anecdotes, commonsense advice and a big dose of permission to figure things out for yourself.
I never know how to give advice to a writer because there’s so much you could say, and it’s hard to translate your own experience. But of course, I always try. The main thing that I usually end up saying is to read a lot. To read a great deal and to learn from that.
Saul Bellow never took my advice when he was my friend.
The best advice that I can offer is that being proactive and a careful planner is key. Think about the major things that could shake up your financial life, and I’ll bet there are some great ways to protect yourself.

The Muslim leaders swallow the advice of the Western powers and bodies like the IMF and World Bank, even when it is bad for their countries and they know this.
In some ways, I’ve been left with this great ‘idolic’ image of my father, but there’s a sense of absence, too. You miss his advice and, also, his getting to know the person I have become.
Don’t take too much advice.
I don’t like talking about which bits I like or don’t like about my body. Everybody has something they’re not happy with, and my only advice would be, ‘Do something about it – exercise or eat less, but don’t do nothing!’ Find ways to enhance the good bits and camouflage the bad bits.
Nobody can give you wiser advice than yourself.
I’m not pretending I can give advice to every single person or every single couple for every situation; I’m making the point that we are not going to get to equality in the workforce before we get to equality in the home. Not going to happen.
Good advice is something a man gives when he is too old to set a bad example.
Never trust the advice of a man in difficulties.
It’s important to me to try and expose young people to the things they believe are off-limits to them. I tell them, ‘There are no walls, only the ones we put up.’ My advice to young people looking at my life is not to follow my footprint but to go out there and make their own.
God has been my number one inspiration. I also look up to Will Smith and Jamie Fox who are also personal friends of mine. They give me great career advice. I would also include Chris Stokes, as a filmmaker and music producer. I’ve been working with him since I was eight.
I’m gonna give them the advice that I always took myself, that it’s better to get to know somebody before you jump into the sack with them. Because then if you jump into the sack and fall in love, and you liked them already, you’re home free.
Pride deafens us to the advice or warnings of those around us.
My other advice is to start writing songs and singing right away.
You may not like the idea of putting money into a home when you’re moving out. But it’s demanded by the market. You need to show it off. You don’t have to rip out the kitchen and bathroom. But maybe replace the tiles or the countertops. Get professional advice.
My advice is for veterans to seek out mentors, people who are doing what you want to do. You have to decide what you want and have a goal. Don’t worry about how you’re going to do it. Just trust that you’ll get there.
The Golden Rule will always be good advice!
