Success is defined, not by what you achieve in life, but by what you do for others without expectations.
A successful birth is not a birth without drugs or monitors or surgery. A successful birth is when you're alive and the baby's alive.
Sometimes spending time with someone who is perceived as 'successful' can make us feel less successful.
If there's a British film in the marketplace that is successful on a worldwide basis - whether it's 'A Room with a View,' 'Four Weddings' or 'The Full Monty' - money follows, and everyone tries to emulate that success.
The size of your success is measured by the strength of your desire; the size of your dream; and how you handle disappointment along the way.
Real success is being totally indulgent about your own trip. You put your blinders on about the garbage and go full speed ahead.
I'm an incredibly negative person, so any form of success is only ever going to be a relief to me and set my default position back to neutral.
Despite whatever commercial kind of success you might have or radio success, I don't want to do something just to get as many people as possible to listen.

When a film is successful, you don't need to shout about it from the rooftops. I don't believe in going into overdrive. There's no desperation to be acknowledged as the reason for a film's success.
Every success in limiting armaments is a sign that the will to achieve mutual understanding exists, and every such success thus supports the fight for international law and order.
Whenever I've had success, I never learn from it. Success usually breeds a degree of hubris. When you fail, that's when you learn.
You don't learn anything from success. You know, it's comfortable, it's nice, it's warm, but success just leaves you kind of feeling a little bloated.
Success is dangerous. One begins to copy oneself, and to copy oneself is more dangerous than to copy others. It leads to sterility.
I learned a lot from not having success, and realizing when you do have success, how hard it is to maintain it, and what you have to do to maintain it.
One press account said I was an overnight success. I thought that was the longest night I've ever spent.
True success has more components than one sentence or idea can contain.
It's hard for a man to live with a successful woman - they seem to resent you so much. Very few men are generous enough to accept success in their women.
I've made movies that we're very successful that we're a complete surprise, and I've made movies that I thought we're going to be very successful that, you know.
