I don't think about financial success as the measurement of my success.

My optimism is not based primarily on the successful march of democracy in recent times but rather is based on the experience of having lived in a fear society and studied the mechanics of tyranny that sustain such a society.

Being aware of your fear is smart. Overcoming it is the mark of a successful person.

I don't want to wake up and be bored. That's probably my greatest fear is to have nothing to do. What better job is there than to play quarterback for an NFL team and certainly one that I've been on for a long time and had success with? I don't plan on giving it up any time soon.

Willpower is the key to success. Successful people strive no matter what they feel by applying their will to overcome apathy doubt or fear.

The way to develop self-confidence is to do the thing you fear and get a record of successful experiences behind you.

The key to success is to focus our conscious mind on things we desire not things we fear.

Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result but the cause of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all.

One thing about being successful is that I stopped being afraid of dying. Once you're a star you're dead already. You're embalmed.

True success is overcoming the fear of being unsuccessful.

I became an actor and because I had success as an actor I became famous. I was acting for quite a while before I got famous television made me famous. I guess that it's television that is responsible for everybody's desire to be famous.

I think success right now is not about how famous you are or how much you're getting paid but it's more about if you're steadily working and you're happy with what you're doing.

I've always been successful. Now I'm famous and successful.

Celebrity culture it's everywhere isn't it? It's reality TV Big Brother. I didn't become a footballer to be famous I became a footballer to be successful. I didn't want to be famous. Now people want to be famous. Why? Why would you want people following you about all day?

When someone becomes successful or rich and famous people perceive that person as being different. But I'm the same guy I've always been.

I think it's real easy to be famous these days it's not real easy to sustain success.

I never wanted to be rich or successful or famous. I just wanted to be happy and have fun.

When you're a famous successful person at 16 years old the rules change for you. Everybody is doing things for you to make life easier so you can go out and play. And I think you miss out on lot of growing up and a lot of reality checks.

You can be a famous poisoner or a successful poisoner but not both and the same seems to apply to Great Train Robbers.

There are high spots in all of our lives and most of them have come about through encouragement from someone else. I don't care how great how famous or successful a man or woman may be each hungers for applause.

I can't imagine wanting to be famous just for the sake of being famous. I think fame should come along with success talent.

Famous pivot stories are often failures but you don't need to fail before you pivot. All a pivot is is a change is strategy without a change in vision. Whenever entrepreneurs see a new way to achieve their vision - a way to be more successful - they have to remain nimble enough to take it.

My wife Elizabeth and I started The Really Terrible Orchestra for people like us who are pretty hopeless musicians who would like to play in an orchestra. It has been a great success. We give performances we've become the most famous bad orchestra in the world.

Being famous is not something that would make me feel successful - unless one was striving for mediocrity.
