We have all a better guide in ourselves, if we would attend to it, than any other person can be.

If it weren't for the mentorship and guidance from people like my mother, James Brown and others, I wouldn't have been able to make something of my life.

I was always led to believe you should take care of yourself, trust in your abilities and you're the author of your own destiny.

You just have to have the guidance to lead you in the direction until you can do it yourself.

I'll walk where my own nature would be leading: It vexes me to choose another guide.

Despite what people think, I was such a rule follower at school.

Following our inner guidance may feel risky and frightening at first, because we are no longer playing it safe, doing what we 'should' do, pleasing others, following rules, or deferring to outside authority.

I wasn't good with authority, went to lots of schools, didn't like the fact that there was no autonomy.

I was told millions of times that I was never going to achieve what I set out to, but I decided to do it, and I did it.
