Number two: If you have this dream where you're doing cocaine in your sleep and you can't fall asleep, and you wake up and you're doing cocaine, BINGO! Number three: if on your tax form it says, "$50,000 for snacks," MAYDAY!”

“Dream big, when you’re up against it all, when you’re standing on a narrow bridge and you’re about to fall.
Dream big, when you're blocked by a wall, keep on saying in your head, nothing is impossible.
Dream big, and when your moment arrives, look up to the stars and thank God you're alive.
Dream big, the power is inside of you. You'll be love for whoever you are and for whatever you do.”
