I always had a really natural faith as a kid. Where I knew God existed and it felt very free and pretty wild and natural and it wasn't religious.

I don't know if the average person really has faith in Washington anymore.

Wal-Mart doesn't really care about your faith. Wal-Mart cares if you have money to spend and it is going to be as generic as possible in exploiting the holiday season for every buck it can make.

I believe that if we really want human brotherhood to spread and increase until it makes life safe and sane we must also be certain that there is no one true faith or path by which it may spread.

I never really had the classic struggle. I had faith.

It really is impossible not to like him. His success was his failure.

It breaks my heart to see these young really talented bands getting chewed up into the system. I remember a time if you'd signed to a major label it was such a sell out! But now... unless you've signed to a big label you're a failure now.

Y'know the real reason why I was such a failure in the sense of being unable to make any sort of a living was because I was really not motivated. I had no motivation.

If 50 percent of your career is not filled with failure you're not really successful.

Even in a gleefully negative comic there is optimism although it's slightly hidden: It comes out through a comic character's sheer tenacity. He keeps going and trying to find some sort of fulfillment regardless of his perpetual failure record. That's a form of hope a form of optimism. Really hokey I know but it's true.

I know acts and I'm not going to name names but these people sold ten million copies the first time and the second album sells three million and it's considered a failure and they're dropped and that's really a shame.

Directly after the show people might have responded better to it but who really knows. It did what it did and while it seems like a failure to most but it was a success for me and has given me so many opportunities.

My big philosophy is: Try and work with good people because the process is your life. That's going to be really really hard. I'm glad I learned the lesson 'Failure is OK.'

I feel that 'The Great Failure' is really a book written out of great love and a willingness to face all of who a human being is.

Failure and things of this sort - you can take it one of two ways. You can either let that hurt you and really affect the way that you live your life in the future or you can use that as an opportunity for growth.

I've had great success and I've had catastrophic failure. It's really how you handle the rough stuff that defines you I think.

Their lives have been largely defined by failure and you would think the prospect of marriage which is supposed to be bountiful and hopeful it's just really another kind of tangential thing in his life.

I have never described the time I was in Doctor Who as anything except a kind of ecstatic success but all the rest has been rather a muddle and a disappointment. Compared to Doctor Who it has been an outrageous failure really - it's so boring.

Beside every great success are the seeds of enormous failure. In every failure there's the opportunity seeds of great success. They're not miles apart. So if they're that close together and if you're really working you're always gonna have that likelihood that something's not going to work.

The great thing about baseball is the causality is easy to determine and it always falls on the shoulders of one person. So there is absolute responsibility. That's why baseball is psychologically the cruelest sport and why it really requires psychological resources to play baseball - because you have to learn to live with failure.

It's not a very high failure rate if you choose people that you really like the sound of.

Schools don't really allow failure and yet it's a valid part of any endeavour not just writing.

I realized that I was afraid to really really try something 100% because I had never reached true failure.

I've probably earned the right to screw up a few times. I don't want the fear of failure to stop me from doing what I really care about.
