I can't deprive myself of things because then I obsess about it and end up eating.

I try not to deprive myself of anything. I don't do the low-carb thing or anything like that.

My whole mentality is that I eat what I want within moderation, and I have a little bit of everything. If you deprive yourself, you get moody and unhappy, and you have to enjoy life.

I'm actually not a particularly negative person, but I feel like most things are better when they're not actualized. The motivation that comes from wanting something is so much more driving of people than actually getting it.

If you want more, you have to require more from yourself.

It isn't sufficient just to want - you've got to ask yourself what you are going to do to get the things you want.

At one point in your life, you'll have the thing you want or the reasons why you don't.

I mean, you know, sometimes, yeah, you wish for something and you don't get quite what you wish for. But you get something bigger and better.

You can't ever get everything you want. It is impossible. Luckily, there is another option: You can learn to control your mind, to step outside of the endless cycle of desire and aversion.
