Jack Layton

“I believe that we are given strength and help from a power much larger than ourselves. I believe if I humble myself that this power will come through me, and help me create work that is bigger than I would have ever been able to have done alone.”
“Nihilism, there's really nothing to it.”
“Successful people maintain a positive focus in life no matter what is going on around them. They stay focused on their past successes rather than their past failures, and on the next action steps they need to take to get them closer to the fulfillment of their goals rather than all the other distractions that life presents to them.”
“I came out of the closet very young, and I had to cut my teeth pretty fast.”
“My hobbies away from horse racing would be reading and painting; I love art.”

“I don't even listen to rap. My apartment is too nice to listen to rap in.”
“For my money, if I'm playing anything then it has to have some sharp angles on it. It's got to have some edges that you can cut yourself on, otherwise it's boring.”
