I tell students that even if they don't like math right now, they can use math as a brain-sharpening tool - a tool that not only builds the foundation for a great career, but that also builds self-confidence, no matter what they choose to do with their lives.

For everybody in their busy lives, you need to invest in sharpening your tools, and you need to invest in longevity.

I wanted to be a brain surgeon, but I had a bad habit of dropping things.

The idea of going to school and getting a job is the most destructive one in your brain.

One thing I have throughout my career, it felt like I did my best to align myself with quality artists, quality work, and it is a situation of steel sharpening steel.

I'm still stupid. I still do what I'm not supposed to do. Are you serious? I'm Jake 'The Snake,' man. I never claimed to be the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Because you've done the horrible jobs, it gives you an even grittier determination to succeed.

They're not the sharpest people - babies. So, you must be everything to them.

I was a weedy kid, not like one of those working-class men who can accommodate not being academically clever by physical strength and prowess.
