"I remember I was doing an impersonation of what I was going to do— both in the books and the scripts, he's not that juvenile. and Jacob [Tierney] asked me if that was really what I was going to do. And I was like, yep! This was the only way I wanted to do this hospital scene."

Derrick Henry explains how when he got his starting job, he didn’t prepare like a starter, got benched, and thought he was going to be cut “That whole offseason my approach wasn’t what it needed to be. I was thinking everything was just going to fall in my hands.” “I didn't do what I need to do to prepare like a starter and take my job serious like I need to. When that season came, it showed. I was struggling. I wasn’t running hard. I wasn’t really having no impact. Then I ended up getting benched.” “I was like, ‘Shit, they going to cut me.’ I ain’t even playing. When the writing on the wall, the writing on the wall... It was a good reminder that I need to learn the lesson. Football gonna be there but get the lesson. It opened my eyes to realize I'm tripping, I gotta get to it.” “When I got benched, I got quiet but I was still working, and I was just thinking, If I get another opportunity, no matter if I’m second, third string, I’m going to go in there and go run it, just stop thinking and go play like myself. If I get the opportunity… I’m going to go crazy.” “After that... Something changed. Something just clicked. I would probably say that was the pivot moment for me. Without that happening in my life, ain’t no telling where my career would have went.”

George Lucas on how he had to reluctantly write the screenplay for 'American Graffiti' (1973) & the confidence he gained from the movie's success: "When I was doing 'American Graffiti' (1973) I was still struggling with my ‘I don’t want to be a writer’ syndrome. I had some good friends of mine that I wanted to write the screenplay, but it took me like two years just to get the money to do a screenplay. And I got a little tiny amount of money and—which I had to go actually to the Cannes Film Festival to get on my own. So finally I got this money. I called back and I said, you know, “I got the money. We can start working on the screenplay.” And they said, “Oh, we don’t want to do that now. We’ve got our own low-budget picture off the ground and we can’t write it.” I said, “Oh no.” I said, “What am I going to do? I am in Europe and I’m not going to be back for like three months and I want to get this thing off the ground.” So they recommended another student from school that I knew pretty well. I had a story treatment that laid out the entire story scene by scene, so I called him over the phone from London and I said, “Do you want to do this?” And he said, “Okay.” The person I was working with at that time as a producer made a deal with him for the whole money because there wasn’t very much. It was so tiny that he could only get him to do it for the whole amount of money. When I came back from England, the screenplay was a completely different screenplay from the story treatment. It was more like 'Hot Rods to Hell' (1967). It was very fantasy-like, with playing chicken and things that kids didn’t really do. I wanted something that was more like the way I grew up. So I took that and I said, “Okay. Now here I am. I’ve got a deal to turn in a screenplay. I’ve got a screenplay that is just not the kind of screenplay I want at all and I have no money.” And, I spent the very last money I had saved up to go to Europe to make the deal, so I had nothing. That was a very dark period for me so I sat down myself and wrote the screenplay. After I did 'American Graffiti', and it was successful, it was a big moment for me because I really did sit down with myself and say, “Okay, now I am a director. Now I know I can get a job. I can work in this industry, and apply my trade, and express my ideas on things and be creative in a way that I enjoy. Even if I end up doing TV commercials or something, or I fall back into what I really love is documentaries. I’ll be able to do it. I know I can get a job somewhere. I know I can raise money somewhere. I know I can do what I want to do.” That was a very good feeling. At that point, I’d made it. There wasn’t anything in my life that was going to stop me from making movies."

I asked Jaylen Brown about Sam Hauser for the three-point record and he started laughing: “It was terrible. I remember when Sam almost had the record when we were in Washington, and he hurt his ankle, and I didn't play that game, and I was in the back, and I was like, ‘Bro, you got to get back out there. I need you to get that record.’ And he was like, ‘Oh, it's gonna come back to me. That was two years ago…. It might not be another two years.” “But it was a joy to watch, man. We was all rooting for him. I wanted him to get it, but probably it was a little bit too much pressure on it.”

Gary Payton says he taught Kobe his secrets because Kobe asked him to teach him, despite knowing he would use that information against him for the rest of his career “Kobe was already different. He was a different kid. I was about 10 or 11 years into the NBA at the time, and Kobe didn’t have a fear of asking anybody how to get better.” “He came by me and was like, ‘Big bro, you be doing this and that. I really want to learn this because of you.’ When he said that, that took something in my heart. A kid with his ability, knowing where he was going, really wanted to learn, and he didn’t have an ego.” “I didn’t mind. I didn’t care about him knowing how to do it and stop it because if he knows it, it makes me better too. Because I gave him the game, now I’ve got to learn how to stop him. I’ve got to show him something else.” “It didn’t really bother me, and me and him got so tight. Especially when I went to the Lakers and was mentoring him, we got really, really tight.”

Steve-O reveals the turning point that made him realize he was sex-addicted and how he broke the cycle “When I got to my late 30s, and I was sort of knocking on the door of 40... hooking up with random chicks all the time. It really occurred to me that that is not the path to happiness” “I want to be happy, I want to have a good life and I subscribe to the belief that that means I need to learn to have a healthy relationship so that I can have a life partner” “I resolved to stop hooking up with random chicks on the road. And when I made that promise to myself, I was unable to keep it” “Therein is sort of the definition of addiction. I didn't want to do it and I couldn't stop myself from doing it” “So I went and I got a therapist, and I took it super, super seriously, like just the same way I did with drugs and alcohol”

Matthew McConaughey reveals the three words his dad said that changed his life “I said dad, I don't want to go to law school anymore. I want to go to film school and after about a 5 second pause, he goes, ‘Are you sure that's what you want to do?’ I reply yes sir” “Another long pause. Then I hear, ‘Well, don't halfass it’” “I remember just beaming, hopping up just like Yes! My dad not only said okay. The way he said don't halfass it, it was also, okay. Let's go big boy. Own that shit. Get some leverage. Get some horsepower behind where you're going. Go do it” “I remember to this day and I've learned this later I think from becoming a father, part of what I believe happened to him and why he said that to me that way on that call was the way that I asked him. I wasn't really asking. It was, ‘I don't want to go to law school, Dad. I want to go to film school.’ I didn't stutter. He heard his son saying this is what I want to do” “What I think happened to him in that moment is what I think any father, any parent loves. You raise your kids in a certain way and you give them a guideline, a ladder to climb and here's the guidelines and if you do it this way, you're most likely going to have some success in life and it'll work out for you and then when we do it that way, we can be proud parents” “But what do we really want to happen when our kids are out of the house and they're on their own? We kind of want them to call one day and go, ‘I'm breaking out. I'm going my own way.’ And as a parent, we go, as much as it may scare us, we're going, ‘Yes!’ I gave my kid the confidence and the courage and the foundation to say they're going to go their own way” “In a way, I think every parent honors and loves that moment. I heard my dad, when he didn't hear me stutter, when he heard me directly say what I said. I wasn't really asking him. Even though I was out of respect asking him, the way I said it, I wasn't asking him and I think he felt that” “Don't halfass it”

Selena Gomez reveals how Benny Blanco proposed to her. “I thought we had a shoot that day, so I had hair and makeup done, and I was just going about my regular day. I got into the car, and I was thinking to myself, ‘Where are we going?’ Because at that point, I felt like I knew all the studios I usually go to” “It was just me and my security guard, and he was laughing because he was just like, ‘I don’t know. It’s a new space’” “We got out. I walked in, and all of a sudden, I saw no one in the room. I looked at my assistant, and she just shut the door. And I was like, ‘Uhhh…’” “I think you envision all the things you would do and say when someone proposes to you. But it is actually the craziest feeling. It was really special” “He said the sweetest things, but I was so shocked that it just felt unreal for a long time. I’ve always dreamed of that moment, and he couldn’t have made it more perfect. It was one of the best days of my life, for sure”

This segment was spoken out of love and experience. It took me years to get sober and stay sober. I went through plenty of episodes like AB but the cameras weren’t on. It was probably one of the toughest things to personally overcome. It took me years to realize that drinking and drugging wasn’t for me. At the core of my addiction, I was running from reality and hated to admit it. I would try to mask my drinking/drugging as social but at the root it was just me masking my problems. One of the greatest things I did was get sober. I hope AB gets there and reclaims his health and wellness. He will be better for it. I’m better for it. I wouldn’t be doing anything I’m doing today if I was still drinking/drugging. No doubt about that. AB is an Ohio Boy so I’m rooting for him. I don’t judge it. I understand it.

Palmer Luckey explains why founders need to “make themselves obsolete” “When I started Oculus, I thought I was really good at everything… But I was only the best at a lot of things in our company because I had been negligent in my hiring process.” For example, Palmer was the best optical engineer in the company, but he realized that wasn’t something to be proud of. “That was a failure. I failed my company and my investors by making myself a critical dependency for any of our products. And the reality is I’m actually not a very good optical engineer. I was just the best at Oculus.” Once you start scaling your company, Palmer advises founders: “You have to make it your goal to make yourself obsolete, even at the things you like doing.. And that was really tough for me at Oculus because I realized I was basically playing house. I was sitting around doing things that way better people could be doing faster, more effectively.” He continues: “I give my managers the same mindset. I say, ‘Hey, your job is not to do things. It is to get them done in the best way possible. If that means you do it, then you need to do it… If that means that somebody else needs to get hired to do it, that’s what you need to do—even if you like doing it.’” Video source: Internet Marketing (2021)

One of the most powerful moments in this episode. At 28, mark pincus finds himself unemployed (fired by John Malone, Bain, and others), with few prospects. He had big dreams, but the world wasn't cooperating. This is how he turned things around. what "I realized I had nowhere else to fall from this because I just felt like I’d made a lot of bad career decisions and I was washed up early and I just sat there in this temple." It was a good place to sit and think because he didn't know anyone and didn't understand anything. "And I just started writing in a notebook about why my life sucked so badly." This book, a journal he's kept every year that he calls the book of life, allows him to take an accurate accounting of his life and change his mindset through reflection. After writing for hours about how bad his life sucked and all the mistakes he'd made, he focused on one small thing. "I just ended on this one thing: that I smoked cigarettes. I didn’t even smoke smoke. I smoked like one or two a day, a pack a night if I was at a bar on weekends, but I hated it ... I didn’t want to do it, but I kept doing it." He felt like his life was out of control, but this was one thing he could control. "I just was like, if I could do one thing to know that I’m making some positive change in my life, I’m going to quit smoking. So on October 19th, 1994, I did a lifetime quit on cigarettes and then every day for that year after that, that I didn’t smoke, it was something I could feel good about. So I was like, okay, I did something for myself today by not smoking." The wins started to stack. I asked him what he was writing about. What was his process? "At that point, I had no structure or process. I was just writing, and there was so much in me." Was it anger? "It was. I did feel angry and frustrated and I was like, I had all these dreams. I wanted to be an entrepreneur from early on and I was an achiever. I thought I was an achiever, but I was not achieving." He's done the same technique every year: "What it’s done for me and I think it could do for a lot of people is just be strategic about your life, like be thoughtful about, I like to say, what would your future self thank you for doing this year and what wouldn’t?" And that question is the one that really matters. What can you do today that your future self will thank you for? What the book of life did was hold him accountable and force him to make tough decisions that his future self would thank him for.

He had big dreams, but the world wasn't cooperating. This is how he turned things around. what "I realized I had nowhere else to fall from this because I just felt like I’d made a lot of bad career decisions and I was washed up early and I just sat there in this temple." It was a good place to sit and think because he didn't know anyone and didn't understand anything. "And I just started writing in a notebook about why my life sucked so badly." This book, a journal he's kept every year that he calls the book of life, allows him to take an accurate accounting of his life and change his mindset through reflection. After writing for hours about how bad his life sucked and all the mistakes he'd made, he focused on one small thing. "I just ended on this one thing: that I smoked cigarettes. I didn’t even smoke smoke. I smoked like one or two a day, a pack a night if I was at a bar on weekends, but I hated it ... I didn’t want to do it, but I kept doing it." He felt like his life was out of control, but this was one thing he could control. "I just was like, if I could do one thing to know that I’m making some positive change in my life, I’m going to quit smoking. So on October 19th, 1994, I did a lifetime quit on cigarettes and then every day for that year after that, that I didn’t smoke, it was something I could feel good about. So I was like, okay, I did something for myself today by not smoking." The wins started to stack. I asked him what he was writing about. What was his process? "At that point, I had no structure or process. I was just writing, and there was so much in me." Was it anger? "It was. I did feel angry and frustrated and I was like, I had all these dreams. I wanted to be an entrepreneur from early on and I was an achiever. I thought I was an achiever, but I was not achieving." He's done the same technique every year: "What it’s done for me and I think it could do for a lot of people is just be strategic about your life, like be thoughtful about, I like to say, what would your future self thank you for doing this year and what wouldn’t?" And that question is the one that really matters. What can you do today that your future self will thank you for? What the book of life did was hold him accountable and force him to make tough decisions that his future self would thank him for.

Jim Parsons admits he spent the first nine years of The Big Bang Theory completely miserable and trapped in obsessive OCD, declaring he wouldn't repeat it for any amount of money "I was sober for nine years filming Big Bang, and I look back now and realize that at some of the best moments of my life, I was miserable. I was not happy, I was stressed, and I felt like there were so many plates I was supposed to be keeping in the air." "I thought the success and the good things happening were only due to this overworking discipline. But I made myself miserable, and I wouldn't do that again for any amount of money." "It translated in part into a work ethic, but it was really just obsessive behavior. It was kind of OCD in nature. I had a list of things in my head that I had to get done in order to be comfortable and know that I could do my job right" "And that came at the detriment of friends, family, and missing tons of life."

Elon Musk proposed to Talulah Riley just 10 days after they first met.T hey connected at a London nightclub in July 2008. After a whirlwind few days together, he asked her to marry him — no ring, just a handshake. She said yes. "I was very young when I met Elon. I was 22. Until then, my life had mainly been school and a little acting. I remember thinking, “Wow, what an incredible man. I had never met anyone like him.” I kept thinking about him, so I emailed him and said, “I have some time after this shoot. I have never been to Los Angeles, so I will book myself a holiday. It would be lovely to see you.” He wanted to fly me over and arrange everything, but I said, “No, it is fine. I will take care of it.” Then he said, “I do not want you to go home. I want to marry you.” He apologized and said, “I am sorry I do not have a ring, but this is what I would like to do.” We shook hands on it, and I said, “Yes, I will.” My father told my mother at the end of their first date that he was going to marry her, so I was primed to think that after ten days, this was simply how it happened. This was what love was. I moved straight into the house with the children, and it all became very real immediately."

Carlos Alcaraz says he initially wasn’t sure if he was cramping or if it was an issue with his adductor during his match against Zverev, ‘I just told what happened to the physio & he decided to take a medical’ “I didn’t think it was cramps at all at the beginning. I didn’t know exactly what it was. I ran to a forehand and started to feel it in the right adductor. That’s why I called the physio. Because it was just that moment, the rest of the legs.. the left leg was good. Not good but decent. After that with all the stress I didn’t know what was going on. I didn’t know if it was going to be worse or not. In that moment I just talked to the physio and said ‘Ok I just went to run to the forehand side and I started to feel the right adductor.’ He decided to take the medical time out and he did it. I just told what happened to the physio and he decided to take a medical.” (via Australian Open Press)

Bradley Cooper says he was ready to quit acting before The Hangover changed his career “I was going to quit. I remember I was doing a play, and I was like, ‘It's just not happening.’ I really wanted to be an actor. I loved it so much. I was making a living, which was a miracle. For the first three years, I was like, ‘This is amazing.’ Then I was like I just want to be three days on a movie, then you’re not, and then you're gone” “I wasn't really getting any other roles that were substantial. I met with Todd Phillips six months before for The Hangover, and then it was gone. The truth is, I think they had a cast, but the budget was too high. They said if you make it with a smaller budget, we'll do the movie” “Then I was doing a play in Williamstown called The Understudy by Theresa Rebeck. I remember I got an email from Todd Phillips, and I was like, ‘Whoa, how'd he get my email?’ He was like, ‘Let's do this, bitches’” “Then we went from there and started shooting. We went to Vegas that fall. I never would have gotten Limitless if I wasn't part of The Hangover. That changed everything”
