The success of Watermark surprised me. I never thought of music as something commercial it was something very personal to me.

I gave up a lot of things in exchange for my success.

Sudden success in golf is like the sudden acquisition of wealth. It is apt to unsettle and deteriorate the character.

I think that everybody in the world whatever colour or creed has a jerk like JR in his or her family somewhere. Whether it is a father uncle cousin or brother everybody can identify with JR and that certainly had something to do with the success of 'Dallas.'

I was born with success. Lucky for me I am able to handle it. Also I damn well deserve it!

I passionately believe that's it's not just what you say that counts it's also how you say it - that the success of your argument critically depends on your manner of presenting it.

With success came an ever-growing burden of responsibility. I lived with a near-constant low-level anxiety that I would make a mistake that would not only threaten my career but also my brothers' - not to mention the livelihoods of many people who work with us or for us.

Failures to heroic minds are the stepping stones to success.

The whole secret to our success is being able to con ourselves into believing that we're going to change the world because statistically we are unlikely to do it.

All business success rests on something labeled a sale which at least momentarily weds company and customer.

If there is any secret to my success I think it's that my characters are very real to me. I feel everything they feel and therefore I think my readers care about them.

My definition of success is control.

In my time and neighborhood (and in my soul) there was only one standard by which a woman measured success: did some man want her?

I mean we are tribal by nature and sometimes success and material wealth can divide and separate - it's not a new philosophy I'm sharing - more than hardship hardship tends to unify.
