Honest Quotes

“If you're honest with yourself, that's the first step in maturing and becoming a better person. If you suppress your shortcomings and fears, they will follow you until the day you die. It was difficult, but I finally admitted to myself that I made mistakes.”

“To be honest, I didn't think I would be here for this album [Give the People What They Want]. I thought I was going to die.
