I try to avoid giving advice.

The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. It is never of any use to oneself.

I try not to give too much advice, really, because people have to do their things their way. I got lots of advice when I was young, and I ignored most of it - the good and the bad.

The true secret of giving advice is, after you have honestly given it, to be perfectly indifferent whether it is taken or not, and never persist in trying to set people right.

Always and never are two words you should always remember never to use.

I never give advice unless someone asks me for it. One thing I've learned, and possibly the only advice I have to give, is to not be that person giving out unsolicited advice based on your own personal experience.

I would never offer advice without the person asking for it. I, in general, don't believe in giving advice, actually, as a human being I don't.

I tell my kids and I tell proteges, always have humility when you create and grace when you succeed, because it's not about you. You are a terminal for a higher power. As soon as you accept that, you can do it forever.

I owe my success to having listened respectfully to the very best advice, and then going away and doing the exact opposite.
