Pharell Williams’s huge hit Happy from the movie Despicable Me 2 topped the world charts and captured hearts and ears of the people around the globe. The song was also nominated for the best original song at Academy Awards, had the world’s first 24-hour music video, spurred countless covers and video spin-offs and even great Maryl Streep had to shimmy to it when Williams performed at the Oscars. Not bad for a song that was actually never supposed to be released as a single! Here are 5 quotes to clap along with Pharrell Williams on the road to happiness.

I’m just very thankful. And I say that a lot because that’s the most important message. Pharrell Williams

Life is a blank canvas. You are the painter and hence the paint brush is in your hands. Pharrell Williams

In order to do great things, you must be unafraid to recreate yourself. You can’t do that holding on to a glory from yesterday. Pharrell Williams
