I don't want the fear of failure to stop me from doing what I really care about.
As I said there is nothing wrong with failing. Pick yourself up and try it again. You never are going to know how good you really are until you go out and face failure.
Failure is instructive. The person who really thinks learns quite as much from his failures as from his successes.
There are only really a few stories to tell in the end and betrayal and the failure of love is one of those good stories to tell.
There is no failure except in no longer trying. There is no defeat except from within no really insurmountable barrier save our own inherent weakness of purpose.
Tragedy in life normally comes with betrayal and compromise and trading on your integrity and not having dignity in life. That's really where failure comes.
I really don't think life is about the I-could-have-beens. Life is only about the I-tried-to-do. I don't mind the failure but I can't imagine that I'd forgive myself if I didn't try.
Winning is great sure but if you are really going to do something in life the secret is learning how to lose. Nobody goes undefeated all the time. If you can pick up after a crushing defeat and go on to win again you are going to be a champion someday.
If you learn from defeat you haven't really lost.
I feel responsible that everyone has a really wonderful experience and to do the best work possible and to always know my lines and to always be on time and to bring a level to the show in terms of quality that other people will follow.
We really haven't had very much experience with people funding their retirement out of the stock market and we don't know frankly how it would work under every scenario.
My feeling about work is it's much more about the experience of doing it than the end product. Sometimes things that are really great and make lots of money are miserable to make and vice versa.
Succeeding is not really a life experience that does that much good. Failing is a much more sobering and enlightening experience.
You know my life's changed now. I'm starting to experience what people are really supposed to do. You supposed to be married. You're supposed to have a family kids treat your wife right.
Now having had this experience I can't say really what they were looking for. I don't know their minds. But every time I see a reality show it seems that the most entertaining parts on other reality shows are when they make their guests look foolish.
It's really fun at night because I can see the baby kicking. I can feel the knee or the foot. The baby is starting to get heavy and it's a really incredible feeling. I'm so grateful I get to experience this.
And then I went to 'Dawson's Creek ' which is a show that was for better or for worse all about the language. It was a word-perfect show which I'd never had any experience with. And it was really shocking for me. I felt really hemmed in. At the time it wasn't my favorite working experience.
I know from my own personal experience. I was bullied in middle school and high school and went through my fair share of hard times thereafter. Also one of my really good friends committed suicide when I was in high school.
There are a lot of impractical things about owning a Porsche. But they're all offset by the driving experience. It really is unique. Lamborghinis and Ferraris come close. And they are more powerful but they don't handle like a Porsche.
My films don't give you an easy ride. I can see that. The sense I get is that people have quite a physical experience with them. They feel afterwards that they've really been through something.
Well for me what I've learned at the very end of this love is sharing and I think that really is for me the best place to go to experience love is sharing.
I mean I really liked those guys and the experience of doing Raiders was really good for me but I did not really want to be involved - I only did Jedi as I really owed George a favor.
My experience with both my parents is that grief has a lot of down sad things but I was also really emotionally raw in the first year after each of them passed. Flowers smelled more intensely my relationships were hotter and I was more willing to risk. I was going for it a lot more. I was 'unsober' and I wasn't playing by my rules.
When you're a soul singer I'm singing a lot of songs about love and relationships that I think a lot of girls really relate to. For whatever reason that seems to get 'em excited. The DJ everyone always says the DJ gets all the chicks but that's never been my experience.
