Make sure that you don't live life on someone else's definition of success. Form your own definition of success, and thus, form your own definition of failure. And if you are to do that, that will be the best gift you can give yourself.

The tragedy of life is not death; the tragedy of life is what dies within while you're alive.

I feel, personally, as an entrepreneur or as an investor or as a businessman, if there isn't passion, then why are you doing it? For me, it's very important to have a personal emotional connect with what I'm doing.

You got to jump in both feet into the deep end and figure out how to swim because the minute you know that there is that one option, you're always going to take that option when it gets really tough. No matter how much willpower you have, how determined you are, it's just human instinct. When you don't have that safety net, you're just going to have to make it work—and that's the way I've always approached my work. I've never given up despite any roadblocks or obstacles or setbacks, and that's it man.

You can have dreams. Have one dream for yourself one dream for the nation. I would say have two dreams. One your personal dream wanting for yourself and have one dream for everybody for the nation where you want the world to move. If not Nation take the whole world

You may face many failures, but nevermind them. Take every failure as a stepping stone, but don't leave your dream—hold on to it. The bigger the dream is, the more obstacles might rise in your path.

The US is a fantastic way to uncover your own self because here's what the US does: it offers you all the possible distractions that the world has to offer—literally everything. You have money; you have entertainment; you have gaming; you have food; you have porn; you literally have everything that you want at your disposal. And then it asks you, 'Are you able to navigate through all this distraction and still make it for yourself?'

Spirituality is the sharpener for the pencil of your life.

You should be prepared for imperfections. If you are not accommodating imperfection in your life [or] if you're holding too much on to perfection, you will become irritable, and when you become irritable, your success will be a far-fetched reality.

You don't need a lot to be happy in life. We just keep buying shit because of our status and because [of] what we think the world will perceive of us. With my kids, the approach always is: We came from nothing, and if we have to go back to nothing, that's perfectly fine.

I think in the next 20 years, there are, in my opinion, the likelihood of these three things happening: we're definitely going to meet [an] intelligent life form outside of Earth, absolutely; number two: interplanetary travel and perhaps even settlement will become a reality; and number three: we will begin to have machines inside of us for virtually everything that we need.

When you eat a mint chewing gum [and notice] how it makes your mouth feel cool, I feel vegetarian food does that for your entire body and your mind. It just cools down your body and cools down your mind. Therefore, you are able to think with a lot more sharpness and clarity, and that's what you pretty much need for a happy life.

I think brutal honesty coupled with unconditional love and support—I think [those] are some of the most important pillars of a healthy marriage, plus communication.

Soon, I am sure this fear of COVID-19 will go away. It will be there for some time—[for] another six months to one year people will still have fear. Once a medicine has been found for it, it'll be like the common cold, and people won't worry about it.

I'm someone who loves questions but [doesn't] love answer ... I love asking questions. I love asking, 'Why? How? What? When? Whether? If?' But it's like this dog chasing a car. I am a dog chasing a car, and I have no plan what to do if the car stops; I'm just chasing the car.

It's possibly the most gratifying thing and, I'd say, the thing that I will be most proud of on my deathbed, which is, just the fact that I got to experience fatherhood.

I don't believe in these things as underrated; I think they're just being sweet. If you're really that good, then they'll recognize you for what you are, and that's it. Your movies do as well as you can do and we should take a bit more responsibility for our work.

Young people are becoming more environmentally conscious; young people are more service-oriented; they are less selfish; they're less consumerist in nature. Even in the last 10-15 years, you see a tremendous change.

I firmly believe that we're not the first human civilization to have lived on Earth. We're possibly the second or the third...

I think regret is the worst way to end your life ... It's unfortunate that so many wonderfully lead lives do end up in regret.
