A lot of people say I'm bent, and I've heard it so many times that I've almost learned to accept it.

Everything starts with yourself, with you making up your mind about what you're going to do with your life. I tell kids that it's a cruel world, and that the world will bend them either left or right, and it's up to them to decide which way to bend.

Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye.

If you think you've already made it, that's when you can fall short and go backwards. I'm constantly pushing forward and chasing the element of perfection.

You might as well fall flat on your face as lean over too far backward.

I spend a lot of time upside down. It increases the blood flow to the brain, so it really helps your creativity.

At some stage in most people's lives, things turn upside down, and nothing is as you expected it to be.

I don't make people bend over backwards, and I don't like that in people. I am definitely no diva.

We cannot look backwards. What we have to do is raise our heads, look forward, roll up our sleeves and work.

Ultimately it doesn't matter whether you go forwards or backwards: you need to live your life as well as you can.
