Taylor Phinney: “Being successful is simple”

Eat, Sleep and Ride your bike. Who knew it was that simple.

Every time that I feel I am slowing down my learning process, my learning curve is getting flatter or whatever, it does not make me very happy. That does not only apply to being a professional, a racing driver, but also as a man. … There is allot to learn, allot to do in life. Happiness will come, when I feel complete as a whole.

Today I do what others won’t.

So tomorrow I can do what others can’t.

Honor all feelings - Marc Jacobs

Mr. Jacobs, how would you describe your ultimate goal as a designer?

To make nice things and to get them out there so people can enjoy them.

Is success a key to happiness?

I don’t know, I don’t know what the key to happiness is. Happy is just a feeling like every other feeling. I certainly feel happy some days and in general I am pretty happy, but I have all the other feelings as well. So I don’t know if there is a key. Maybe the Buddhists have it right where they just sort of honor all feelings and just go with the flow. And then I think you have no problems.

Patti Smith says,

Anybody?

Rock ‘n’ roll belongs to the people. When I started playing I couldn’t sing very well and I couldn’t play any instrument. I didn’t know anything about technology. I’d never been in front of a microphone. I didn’t know shit, but I did know rock ‘n’ roll and I did believe that it was mine and I was one of the people and it was my art and I felt it was my right to get up and embrace it and to express my feelings through it and adding poetry or political energy or whatever. So it is not a matter of being humble or a matter of being divided, it is just that my definition of rock ‘n’ roll has an air of the common man about it.
