I went from a playing in a bar on a bar stool for free beer and tip money, where people weren't paying attention to me, to now I've got their attention. It's up to me to what I feed them with my music. It's up to me how I do that. I've put a lot of thought into how great the songs are, and how I want people to perceive me.

Adam DeVine
American Comedian

I'd love to be an old guy who can't really walk, can't really stand-up, and I have to sit on the stool and tell jokes.

Clint Eastwood
American Actor
