Like everybody I have invested in things that have gone bad because there's never any guarantee of success or profit when it comes to money.
Success is always temporary. When all is said and one the only thing you'll have left is your character.
I feel like a hostage to fortune. Not that I am complaining. I wanted to play the role. But in truth I didn't think the show would be such a success. OK I thought it would fail. Not because it was bad. I was confident it was good but plenty of good things just sort of wither on the vine.
In a way a certain amount of self-criticism is a good thing because it keeps you humble. Realizing that no matter what success you've achieved you can still make enemies makes you humble too.
The one thing that makes me feel super lucky about my financial success is that I have a housekeeper.
All of us are born for a reason but all of us don't discover why. Success in life has nothing to do with what you gain in life or accomplish for yourself. It's what you do for others.
I think the measure of your success to a certain extent will be the amount of things written about you that aren't true.
Success makes you less intimidated by things.
The secret to success is to own nothing but control everything.
Philanthropy is the thing that I am really excited about and having success means I can do more.
There is never just one thing that leads to success for anyone. I feel it always a combination of passion dedication hard work and being in the right place at the right time.
Follow your passion. Nothing - not wealth success accolades or fame - is worth spending a lifetime doing things you don't enjoy.
The only thing I can say about having this type of success is that you can get yourself in trouble because basically the world is set open for you. People will say yes to anything you ask so it's basically down to you and what you want or need.
I think you can have moderate success by copying something else but if you really want to knock it out of the park you have to do something different and take chances.
Do something you really like and hopefully it pays the rent. As far as I'm concerned that's success.
The manic pursuit of success cost me everything I could love: my wife my three children some friends I would have liked to grow old with.
Which is - you know like check it out I'm pretty young I'm only about 40 years old. I still have maybe another four decades of work left in me. And it's exceedingly likely that anything I write from this point forward is going to be judged by the world as the work that came after the freakish success of my last book right?
Anytime you play a team sport the success of the team really makes everything better. It's nice.
The hardest thing to find in life is balance - especially the more success you have the more you look to the other side of the gate. What do I need to stay grounded in touch in love connected emotionally balanced? Look within yourself.
To do a common thing uncommonly well brings success.
This weird thing happens when you're in a movie that has some level of success. People start offering you all kinds of things and they just expect you to do them because they'll be good for your career. It's not about the project's integrity or anything like that.
Success is always something completely different to people. I feel like I've succeeded if I'm doing something that makes me happy and I'm not lying to anybody. I'm not doing that now so I feel really good about myself.
Success isn't everything but it makes a man stand straight.
Nothing succeeds like the appearance of success.
