Lionel Richie

You know what I'm saying?

But it's really don't stop moving forward.

And that's really what this whole thing was.

This exercise in this book was really for me to actually go, hmm, I can't believe I did that.

Absolutely.

If you had said to me when I first started my life, you know, my dad used to always have this line over and over again, you know,

A great fighter is not determined by how many punches he can throw.

It's how many punches he can take.

And I realized that I could take punches.

I'm the most unlikely person to take a punch because I'm not that guy.

If I can talk my way out of it, I will.

But if you understand life itself, number one, that's difficult.

And then if you start thinking about the music business, the entertainment business, it's an impossibility.

You're going to get punched every day of your life.

And what's that punch?

No, no, no, no.

That's the punch.

Now, can you get up off the floor and come back?

Can you get a bad review and come back?

Can they not like you and you come back?
