Having a set, popular formula does inhibit you.

I don't want ever to be guilty of what my critics claim: doing formula without original elements.

I'm not someone who calculates things.

You know, people come up with formulas who are uncreative. They can't picture something different so they can only go by something that's laid out for them.

I just am not good at math.

Many self-help books give you these neat, tidy formulas that are really illusions. They dupe people into thinking, 'Well if I can just do that, then everything's going to be okay.' My work differs in that I don't offer quick solutions and simple explanations.

I'd rather experiment than follow the same formula. I'm a curious person. It's gotten me into trouble, but I say, 'Why not? Let's try it.'

I think everyone has a certain kind of formula in their life. When you deviate from that formula, you're going to fail big or you're gonna win big.

I truly don't have any formula for the choices I make.
