If you spend too much time thinking about a thing you'll never get it done.

When I am getting ready to reason with a man I spend one-third of my time thinking about myself and what I am going to say and two-thirds about him and what he is going to say.

That old law about 'an eye for an eye' leaves everybody blind. The time is always right to do the right thing.

I'm really thankful and complimented when people come to me and say thank you for the great times for all these years. But I don't think about it as being a leader.

I want to let my fans get to know a little about me. I'm very thankful for everything they've done for me so of course I'm going to let them into my world a bit. But I really am a very private person and I love kepping my life to myself - that's how I've always been.

Even now when I try and think of band names just randomly I'm so thankful that 'fun.' is the name of the band. I never really think twice about it. It is so simple and so easy.

It's been quite a roller coaster ride but I've grown and learned a lot about myself. The greatest thing is being able to interact with fans and touch people's lives... for that I give thanks.

You need to know what makes artists tick. Having been through the process myself as a musician since I was an early teen gave me an advantage - understanding them from their point of view because it's about them it's not about you - it's their vision and what they're capable of achieving and you're the conduit.

Being a teen is past for me. Worrying about the world and my place in it is not.

Research shows that parents are the single biggest influence on children - if you are worried about your teen and drugs talk to them.

Being a teen can be tough. Just try to surround yourself with really good friends that really have your back and also be a really good friend to those who really care about you. If you're not sure about certain things talk to your friends that you trust and your family.

Adolescence isn't just about prom or wearing sparkly dresses.

Your modern teenager is not about to listen to advice from an old person defined as a person who remembers when there was no Velcro.

Heredity is what sets the parents of a teenager wondering about each other.

And what's interesting about the hybrids taking off is you've now introduced electric motors to the automobile industry. It's the first radical change in automobile technology in 100 years.

Our business is about technology yes. But it's also about operations and customer relationships.

I would like to see every parent either directly - if they are comfortable with the technology - or through a personal tutor being able to access real-time information about their child.
