“A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants to do.”

Jason Mraz

“I’ve come to the conclusion that people who wear headphones while they work, are much happier, more confident, and more beautiful individuals than someone making the solitary drudge to work without acknowledging their own interests and power.”

Bono

“Pop music often tells you everything is OK, while rock music tells you that it’s not OK, but you can change it.”

― Bono

Ellen DeGeneres

“Have you ever heard somebody sing some lyrics that you’ve never sung before, and you realize you’ve never sung the right words in that song? You hear them and all of a sudden you say to yourself, ‘Life in the Fast Lane?’ That’s what they’re saying right there? You think, ‘why have I been singing ‘wipe in the vaseline?’ how many people have heard me sing ‘wipe in the vaseline?’ I am an idiot.”

― Ellen DeGeneres

Lady Gaga

“I had a boyfriend who told me I’d never succeed, never be nominated for a Grammy, never have a hit song, and that he hoped I’d fail. I said to him, ‘Someday, when we’re not together, you won’t be able to order a cup of coffee at the freekin’ deli without hearing or seeing me.”

― Lady Gaga
