The power to destroy a thing is the absolute control over it.

Frank Herbert

I can understand why a system built on a pattern must try to destroy the free mind, for that is one thing which can by inspection destroy such a system.

John Steinbeck

Taking drugs on a recreation level is one thing. But taking them while you're working on a stage is, I don't think it was that great. It's the control factor. And the thing about being on stage, you really want to feel that you're sort of in control a lot. It's not a place where you want to be out of control.

Mick Jagger

Essentially, no one can control what other people think of the final outcome. Once it's done, the audience will like it or not, they may even think I'm an idiot. They can also think I'm brilliant or whatever, I can't control that. What I can control is the joy in putting it together, the process of the work itself. I try and create an atmosphere where we're all enjoying the work. That's the only thing you can hold on to, the only true thing.

The NBA is a job. Just like any other job complaining about opportunity doesn't solve anything. The only thing you can do is control what you can control, and when you are at peace with the work you put in then you don't have any regrets and that's truly the main thing about this journey.

Spencer Dinwiddie

That's one of the beauties, I think, of African American life. There was this thing called slavery and adjustments were made. It literally destroyed millions, but it didn't destroy everybody and it didn't destroy the inner lives of all the people who experienced it.
