  1. “Just please, please, please, before you... Call somebody an asshole on the internet or before you send on that tweet that's going to tell everybody off. Just know, know that this is a person that needs to be loved. And there are a lot of people who are getting off on what you don't know. And they want to treat you like an object and treat you like property and treat you like people who things are bought and sold and whatever and whatever. But man. I just ask If you ever get into that, stop. think of them as people to be loved.”

  2. “I guess The big ask that I have for everyone. And this is one quote that Really, really gave me a big, big perspective is that people are not objects to be used. They are people to be loved. My big ask. Is that you see everyone as people to be loved because one thing I see now in America, especially with the partisan, everybody's democratic or Republican or this or that or black or white, but we're people to be loved. And that sounds very cliche or whatever. But when you get down to the heart of it, When you look at another person, see them as a child. We're all like kids. And that all of a sudden you can see it much more differently because you can instantly love a child. You can feel the love for a child. A child doesn't know. A child is figuring it all out. And the truth is we don't know. And we're all figuring it out.”

  5. “But I've seen very amazingly bold introverts They just know who they are and what they want. And you don't have to be loud. You don't have to be brash. It's really, really a cool thing when you see, it's funny, when you see a little old lady who runs this gigantic business and she's got her thing together, she's just walking there with a quiet voice and everybody shakes because they know she means business. And that's that kind of boldness that it doesn't take loud. She just knows who she is. And she knows what she wants. And that's a man, that's all you need. I'm with you.”

  7. “I block so many people. It was like, man, this phone ain't working. But they get it after a while. But now I tell you, every relationship in my life must be voluntary. It must be voluntary.

If you're my, even my managers, people in my circle, you are free to go at any time. Even my wife, if my wife was like, I'm done, I would be like, oh, no, don't leave, please. And she was like, I got to go. I'd be like, dang. I would be hurt. But I couldn't hold her because it has to be voluntary. but that works the same way for me too If I want to go.”

I mean, and I'm talking family members, family members who are like, man, I have people who call me up and angry because they felt like I should be paying for this and I should be doing that.

  9. “It's hard because sometimes you do feel a little lonely. You do feel like, but the higher up you go, the more is at stake, man. I mean, it's good. Everybody can be down there and you can be hanging and everybody's good. But let me tell you, as soon as you get something, and as soon as it becomes bigger than you, it becomes more important than you Some of these people have to go. They have to. And it's not personal. And I tell them I love you, but we just can't hang anymore. And I'd be brutally honest, but not me. You don't have to be mean. Some people feel like you got to, but I'm always, I love you, man. But we can't hang.”

And I said, man, but I got to go on without you. And it's weird because Hollywood is one of those things that's built on this kind of camaraderie, entourage, whatever. I don't have that because for one, I found that the entourage has you. know all your things and they start telling you what you're gonna do and it's like what you know And I said, never meet. I'd rather go alone and I'd rather walk alone.”

  11. “You know, first of all, we have a lot of talks as we go to say that, hey, man, we have to do this. We have to be held to this standard. Like, I have an example. There was one person, I told him, you know, he's a single man, but I also said, hey, man, you have to understand that I'm a married man. And if I hear any drama about women in your circle, Going to be a no go for me because You have to treat every woman with respect. I don't want any of that coming to me.

What's so wild is that. Every time I let somebody go, though, we have a conversation because I want to make sure that it wasn't me.

And I get really honest answers that way. And it's helped me become a better employer or a better mentor, but also, you know,”

  14. “You know, people have to, you have to desire. You get what you want. But there's a lot of people who are just trying it out. And you hear people who say they want it. And there's so many, so many things. Like me, when I wanted something, I always would go out of my way to, you know, show that person who I wanted as a mentor that I'm willing to, I show up early, I'm there. I've had guys who, man, you're like, okay, be here at this time. And it's funny. I'm waiting on them.”

And then once they realized what it took, they were out. You know, and so now anyone that I would be willing to mentor or whatever would have to, I would send them on like little tests. I mean, really it's like, You really have to really want what you're going for. And I made the mistake before of is making it too accessible. And it's, again, it's kind of like.”

The healthy fats and the whole thing, but a little cheese, bacon, and an omelet along with a great salad or some vegetables right there. And that's my go-to meal. I can eat that. That's the first thing I usually have anytime when I break my fast, that's it. And it's light enough. It doesn't feel heavy. I've tried grabbing a big bready sandwich before and it's just, oh my God, you go to sleep immediately. It's so nuts. But that's the kind of meal that I love.”

  18. “I eat from two to ten. And what's wild is that I have amino acid drink, tea, water when I'm fasting. And then my first meal is that two. And sometimes it goes beyond it, because sometimes I'm not even hungry until like 3.30. And like even today, I had just one meal. And I don't feel bad at all. I mean, I learned to get by with less food. I feel more energetic. And to be honest with you, I think more so than physically, it's a spiritual thing. I think for me, everything that is within your grasp is not meant to be in your hand.”

  19. “Well, I've been doing intermittent fasting for about five and a half years. And man, that was the most valuable lifestyle change for me. I found that now again, I see people who are much younger than me. I really wouldn't recommend it for a 20-year-old just because, you know, you can eat like four pizzas and be fine. But as you get older, You know, I grew up in the bro science era where it's like seven meals a day, get your oatmeal. A lot of that. And so it blew me away. I read this book called Man 2.0. engineering the alpha. And I was like, this is crazy. Like, you know, it was unthinkable that, my God, you only eat eight hours in a day and a 16-hour fathom. I do it every day. Now, some people have seen the benefits one day a week, the whole thing, but for me, I do it every day.”

They rebuff some guy and he's going to fire him and get his revenge. And they end up getting their dreams messed up. I want my 95 year old self to say you did the right thing. Everything worked out. And I'd say it's kind of dark because you just don't know. But also at the same time, I like it here. I like the adventure. I like not having everything planned.

I don't know because I don't even know, and I'll be straight honest, I don't know if I'm going to have a career. Just real. The people I'm talking about are very, very powerful. They run everything.

I'm trying to tell you. If you care, you're going to always be nervous. You're going to always have to face it. But when you walk in, it turns into a mirage and it just starts to disappear. I remember on a set of white chicks, it disappeared. I remember I was rolling and Keat and Ivory Wednesday. I was like, you got any notes, Keaton? He was like, man, do what you do, man. And I remember just flowing. And let me tell you, you know, people who know, and a lot of people here who understand it, if you've ever been in a flow, it's amazing.

And I literally was cussing myself out. It was like, yo, get some guts, dude. And I walked back in there and they were like, actually, I was like, Adam Gibson, you know. And wait, and Arnold was like, this guy like his energy. He's got a lot of, it's amazing. I like him. And let me tell you, after that, I learn go in. Rush in. Rush in. There's never been a time.

It was called The Sixth Day. And I'll never forget, I'm like, I thought it was going to be like a quick roll. It turned out to be a big job that worked six months in Vancouver. And I'm like, oh my God. And the first day I was on set. I had to say this line, Adam Gibson, come with us. Please come with us.

  28. “That quote, just when you think about anything that's made and anything that's created, anything that you see that you admire takes so much courage because people are going to judge it and people are going to say, ah, that sucks. You know, especially in the age of the internet, everybody's coming in and chipping in with whatever they have to say and you have to be willing and you have to be vulnerable in order. This is why vulnerability is actually strength. Because the vulnerability is part of courage. You have to be willing to let people judge your stuff. Willing to let people hear your song, willing to let people hear you sing.”

And these are not good experiences, okay? And so, you know, we didn't grow up on a nice pool and the beach and the whole thing. It was like the hood. And it's like, oh man, it's not good. So my first experience was horrifying. I almost drowned. And so one of my fears was swimming. And I remember when I had a house with a pool and I remember going in the backyard and just diving into the deep end over and over again to get rid of the fear. And it's weird because you get near the edge and you go, oh man, here I am. I have to beat it. So I was just jumping and just keep jumping in and keep jumping in until you're not afraid anymore. Because remember, it's a confidence game.”

  30. “Oh man, God will not have his work made manifest by cowards. Ralph Waldo Emerson is my favorite quote. I literally have it in my dressing room, put on the wall in giant letters because, you know, fear begets more fear. But courage just begets more courage. Like you don't even get to be born unless your mother has the courage to have you. Any great thing, any just literally creating a business to making art, it takes this courage. It takes this willingness to be looked at, to be judged, you have to face down your fears, and you have to step outside and go. It helped me to just lay out what I was afraid of. Because that's the big thing. You know, you have to ask yourself, what are you scared of? And then you have to attack it.”

I'm like, hey, yeah, fuck, get out of here. What I want to say is that the big thing was that I knew that would never be the only way I would ever use that is to protect. To protect, not to get back, not for revenge. There's a time, but I'm telling you, man, that was a period that I learned forever. Now, again, my father, I wish I could say he changed. He kind of went back through his old ways. I'm I did the things I needed to do. And that's it.”

  32. “And I was like, this is not hollow. This feels good. This is healing. I said, man. I have to use my strength for good. Because everybody can knock somebody out. But to give a hug with muscles is a whole other matter And I said, that is how that's the vulnerability. That's the authenticity. That's where real healing takes place. Because shame wants punishment. Just wants to get back boom boom and it's temporary. But guilt develops discipline. When you admit I was wrong. Because shame is when secrets and you don't say anything. But guilt says I did it. I'm sorry And then you develop the discipline and change. Man. Again, it was one of the darkest periods in my life. but totally reversed. And I decided. That's going to be my life. This is who I am.”

And I remember I just said, I have to find one thing that I can tell him that That he did good. And I said, and we call them big Terry because his name is Terry Too. So he said, Big Terry, man. I want to thank you because if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be here. And if I had to choose my parents, I'd choose you. Because the truth is, he's the reason I'm here. If it was another person, I'd be another person So I said, if I had to choose my parents, I choose you. Let me tell you something. He just broke down. Sitteri, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for beating your mom. I'm sorry for everything I did. Listen, man, those words broke him down. He cried in my arms. About the same time as I was beating him years earlier.”

And I remember just feeling empty, cold. I don't know, it was the dark, it's probably the darkest place I ever been because here's the man who's the reason I'm here. And I put him in his place, so to speak. And I'll never forget it was just the most hollow, hollow feeling I've ever had. We got out of there. It took me years to overcome that. Like we got out of there. I got the kids out. We never came back. I mean, we like, forget the holidays, we're not doing this. But after years of therapy, and this was literally about six or seven years ago, and this, what I'm talking about happened like 99. So I go back.”

I went in this house. I had the nerve to still be there. And I said, dude, what are you doing? He was like, shut up, leave me alone. I can do what the hell I want. Let me tell you something. I beat this guy for about an hour. He was pleading for his life. I was like, I'm not a child anymore. I am a grown ass man. And how does it feel? You are about to get what my mother has felt. And I laid it on him. He was hurt, bleeding, laid out. I'm surprised I didn't kill him. And I felt not one ounce better. I remember falling on the ground. crying in tears.”

Now, you got to understand, my kids, at the time I had three, I had five total now, but I had three kids at the time. And the girls were, and they were all girls. They were very small. They had never grown up with violence in the house. They'd never seen it. And so I told my father before I came, I said, hey man, don't act up. Do not act up. And he said, I ain't going to do nothing. And I'm like, okay. So I'm bringing on a family. I know it's Christmas time. So just relax, man. And we're going to be there. It'll be fine. So we get there.

I was on a TV show called Battle Dome, where they literally put me in a cage and I fought my way out. It was so entertaining. It was pre-MMA. So people hadn't seen blood on TV yet.

And all of a sudden kids just are like, he's going to do it. And now this is the great thing about being a grandparent. You're like, hey, they're going to be fine, dude. Send them home. Bye-bye. But just don't be that into it and let them feel their own consequences. It's a beautiful thing, man. And it's hard. I promise you. Your first child is going to be hard.”

  40. “It's bad because then they're internalizing. And what I also realized is that they're going to be fine, but you spend so much extraneous energy and time trying to do things and figure it all out for them when you have to let their consequences teach them. Perfect example. This is a perfect example. I love this example. I have a TV at home. And what would happen is I would be gone and I would come home and I would find the kids had watched TV for like eight hours. I'm like, what are y'all doing? This is crazy. Like I love you watching TV and I come back. You still watch the TV. This is nut. So when I turn it off, they were like, oh, you know. And it was wild. And I was like, man, I turned up. And so what I did, I got this thing called a bob. And Bob is a little box you attach.”

  41. “and literally love them till they can't stand it anymore. And I'm telling you this because I've made those mistakes. I remember shaming my kids. When, you know, the thing is, shame is horrible because it tells you you are bad. Guilt is good because it said you did something wrong. But shame. And this is what I say when I messed up my first two feels good to shame. You feel like, hey, I'm doing a good thing. You know what? Shame on you. You should, you know, how could you do something like that? You say something like that to your kids?”

  42. “First of all, It's not that big a deal. And this is because you overdo it. You're going to overdo it. Everything. It's got to be the right school. Let me tell you something. My oldest daughter had a whole other life I didn't know about. I'm not kidding. You're like, I did it right. And they're like, wait, what? What was that? You had a whole nother what? And you go, okay, all your preparation, all you have to do is never shame them ever. Never shame them.”

  44. “Comparison I like to say is Fifth Avenue. You go to Fifth Avenue if Gucci was every store on Fifth Avenue and Gucci won Gucci won Fifth Avenue No one would go You need the success of Gucci, Prada, Batega Vanetta, Louis Vuitton, for your thing to be successful. You need other successful restaurants because someday they're not going to feel like that. They want yours. But if everybody ate the same thing, we all hate it. And so this is why now, and as an actor, I used to get very, very jealous. You know, you see a billboard or something you audition for you like, man, I hate that dude, man. He ain't that good. But now, wait, now, let me tell you, once I got it, I look at the billboard and I say, man, his success is my success. Because the bigger he gets, the more opportunities for me. And that's the truth. That's not even mumbo jumbo. It's not a joke.”

  45. “in your own self, and this is the greatest thing, is that there's no one else like you. There will never, ever be. The world will never, ever see another you ever, ever. No one will ever even have the timber of your voice. That's what's so crazy. And no one can ever do anything like you. So everything you really want to do is original. That's just the truth. And once I started to see that know and also it's a confidence game because you have to know that your viewpoint is just as viable. Because for one, I have to say, you know, sometimes as a woman or sometimes as a person of color or where you're from or where you got, you feel like I don't measure up. You feel like they're not going to see me. But I had to fight that. I had to fight all of that. I am creative. I'm not competing with you.”

  46. “And that, let me tell you something, I literally did Balon just the other day, and we were doing interviews on Jimmy Fallon in my lily pad chairs. And he was like, no one did this. And it's winning awards. It's doing all this stuff. And I'm sitting here flipping out because the creativity is where it's at. If I'd have been trying to do a better chair than you, it would have looked like a chair. This would have been something that everybody had done. But maybe a little tweak over here, a little tweak over there. But when you are creative, it takes you to a whole other place. I mean, there are musicians, artists, businessmen who've decided, wait a minute, because, I mean, you look at what Steve Jobs has done. If he tried to make better records, he would have never come up with MP3 and never come up with iPod. You know, it's like you have to be so far.”

  47. “I didn't know what I was doing. I had no clue, but I did know this. Do not compete. Don't try to beat whatever's out there already. So I created this whole thing. And I would sit in my room. I have an office and I would sit in this office and I was thinking like, man, what would happen if modern, if Egypt was a culture that existed today, what would furniture look like in Egypt? And then I just started drawing. And I just started creating. I created this thing called the lily pad. And what's funny, the chairman of the company said, Terry, no one has ever created anything like this before. I was like, y'all, come on. I really thought he was joking with me. And then I had all these other designers come and they said, this lily pad thing, it's a chair on a table combined. No one has ever done that. You kidding me, right”

  48. “And what's crazy is that there are people who are out here running on this track to beat each other when all the gold and everything you're supposed to get is way over here on this mountain. And you just walk over and get it. And that is creativity Creativity, there's no running. You just do you. The idea you have, and I'm going to give you a great example, when I was approached to do a furniture line for Bernhardt,”

  49. “I said, wow, this competitive shit is hard. And so then it was about, it's literally, it's scorched earth. What happens is when you compete, you're just trying to beat you. This guy next to me, this guy, we're at top, we're at the top. I'm trying to be the best. And all of a sudden it's like you focus all your attention on beating that guy. When you're running, you really can't look at the other guy and really run an effective race. And then, because they say, you know, life is a race and the whole thing. So you say, okay, I'm going to just look straight ahead. But life is not a race. It's not even a race. It's a marathon. And then you realize it's not even a marathon. It's a trail run.”

  50. “That was my whole MO and I became a very fake person, very duplicitous, very sly, very cunning, very clever. But there were no real substance because it was all about beating the other person. The NFL teaches you. It was so wild is that you have players that were on the same team and they would play one against the other and they would plant things in your head and say, you're a little old or you're too young. You don't know what's going on. And I'll never forget one guy is an older player. He was like, I said, oh, what are we doing cover two? He was like, go left, go left. And I went left and they were like, Terry, what the hell are you doing? And I looked over at him and he was like. I knew he set me up.”
