He believes that the decade of rejection is the most important part of a successful person's journey.

“I think it's very very important not to brush past this 10 years. Because that is the no man's land that only passion could make someone wade through. Yeah. And that is where 99% of people quit.”

He believes he persisted through years of rejection because he knew he was one of the greatest entertainers in the world.

“the reason that I didn't stop in those 10 years was because I knew I was the best in the world. I mean, no doubt that if the right person sees me, I am one of the greatest entertainers on Earth.”
