Whiplash

I was there to push people beyond what's expected of them.

The next Charlie Parker would never be discouraged.

Not my tempo.

There are no two words in the English language more harmful than 'good job'.

If you deliberately plan on being less than you are capable of being, then I warn you that you'll be unhappy for the rest of your life.

I'd rather die drunk, broke at 34 and have people at a dinner table talk about me than live to be rich and sober at 90 and nobody remembered who I was.
