When it becomes more difficult to suffer than to change... you will change.
I worked for this company that repossessed cars. Sure enough the day after I quit they repossessed my car but that would probably be my strangest job to date. You have to work your way up to become a hardcore repo man.
In high school during marathon phone conversations cheap pizza dinners and long suburban car rides I began to fall for boys because of who they actually were or at least who I thought they might become.
I will never have a drink and get behind the wheel of a car. It's not illegal to drink and drive but there becomes a certain point where it does become a crime.
People spend so much time in their cars and it's a legal way to have fun by speeding a little bit or testing yourself a little bit and you get to invest in your car. For some people it becomes their baby.
It's not a case of 'look at me in my car' it's more 'look at the car'. I like the idea of other people enjoying them because everything has become a bit faceless and nobody likes the motor car any more.
I take cabs if I need to get somewhere or I take car service. I don't drive I wouldn't mind riding a bike... People think that because you become an entertainer you gotta have this rock star thug image. I'm an artist man. I'm going to live like an artist.
Over my lifetime the car had actually transcended the fact that it is a car. It has become a venue.
Once you become successful people know where you live the type of house you live in the kind of car you drive the clothes you wear and so it would be patronising to go and talk like a welder. Welding's a mystery to me now. You can't go back your life changes every day.
The body is like a car: the older you become the more care you have to take care of it - and you don't leave a Ferrari out in the sun.
The car has become the carapace the protective and aggressive shell of urban and suburban man.
We need to become good citizens in the global village instead of competing. What are we competing for - to drive more cars eat more steaks? That will destroy the world.
I would absolutely definitely never sell my wedding pictures to a magazine. I'd like it to be a special day not a photo shoot. And once you've done that your marriage becomes everybody else's business.
I used to be focused on being the dopest rapper in the game and then once that became what I was I wanted something different and I wanted to become the best businessman in the game. I wanted to learn how to master the business like I mastered the rap.
Some people work hard in this business and become really popular really big stars but they never receive an award from within the business. Somehow when your colleagues and friends believe in you to the point of handing you an award it means so much more.
It never made sense to me that someone would achieve any kind of success in show business only to become a jerk.
The more you are in this business the more humbled by it you become.
There is the expression of selfishness and there is the expression of selflessness - but economists or theoreticians never touched that part. They said: 'Go and become a philanthropist.' I said 'No I can do that in the business world create a different kind of business - a business based on selflessness.'
I am just at that stage of wondering where I go from here. I came into this business almost by accident but now it has become serious. What started as a bit of fun something to do other than be a model has taken on a different career curve. I have been forced to ask where that curve is going to end up.
My goal in the beginning was to buy my mother a house. Now I realize okay if I really focus and become a key player in business then I can build an empire.
I have watched people who have nothing to do with the film business but who have become part of the circle for a short period of time. They can be truly devastated when the film wraps and people leave.
In the coming years if not sooner social media will become a powerful tool that consumers will aggressively use to influence business attitudes and force companies into greater social responsibility - and I suggest move us towards a more sustainable practice of capitalism.
As a speaker business leader or marketer of any type the onus is now on each of us to become equally capable of communicating very personally with a seemingly endless number of people connected by social technologies.
My compulsion to always be working has become less strong and my current business is purely down to this enormous alimony. If I wasn't doing this I'd be making documentaries about wildlife and other subjects that interest me.
War has always been the grand sagacity of every spirit which has grown too inward and too profound its curative power lies even in the wounds one receives.
