“Men die when they are finished living...”

“Good men are the stars, the planets of the ages wherein they live, and illustrate the times”

“Work as if you were to live a thousand years, play as if you were to die tomorrow.”

“I start songs all the time. If I weren't so lazy, I would finish them. It's like when I have a deadline I have to. I always feel very lucky that I am forced to make records at certain times. If I was forced to make 2 records a year, I would write twice as many songs. I can't make myself finish something unless I am forced”

“When we are confronted by failure and mistakes, we can leave them behind and go on with our lives.”

“Al-Lah alone decides whether we live or die. The rest is vanity.”

“My decision to say no to the transplant wasn't about dying. It's about living.”
