Personal satisfaction is the most important ingredient of success.
You cannot predict literary success; the only way you can possibly aim for it is to do your thing and do it well.
If you have a success you have it for the wrong reasons. If you become popular it is always because of the worst aspects of your work.
I'm so sick of hearing that U.K. hip hop doesn't get credit and success when I'm working to get it - for me and for others, too.
My goal with every show we put on Geek & Sundry is to make it that big of a success, not just within the video but within fandom itself.
I always wrote about things that were important to me. I think our past success showed that it was also important for a lot of others.
We recorded our first CD, Sixteen Stone, with a small budget and never dreamed that we would enjoy such a high success. It was simply fantastic.
Success does not consist in never making mistakes but in never making the same one a second time.
The development of our human resources is an area in which we need to do well as it is decisive in determining the success of our diversification programme.
'One Tree Hill' was my very first television audition; it was a fairytale. I feel really lucky to have that level of success right out of the gate.
Well, certainly one of the ironies of the success of affirmative action is that the middle class within the black community no longer lives within 'black community' by and large.
Personally, I don't like the term 'success.' It's too arbitrary and too relative a thing. It's usually someone else's definition, not yours.
It would have been very impossible to deal with this attention when I was younger. I'm thrilled with the success, but at this point I also think it's hilariously silly.
I think the biggest challenge is to continue on the same path. I think it's easy to become complacent from the success you've had.
Australians and the British are very similar: If you try and stand out in any way, and you try to reach for success, someone is gonna be there to cut you down.
When I did have a little bit of commercial success, it really didn't suit my temperament at all. I'm a terrible public person.
I always thought success was from inside, so it was how diversified you were as a person and how cultivated or how much you cultivated yourself.
But I think it's more normal for my team to have no success than it is to win two consecutive European cups.
I don't think anybody can claim success at any part of our lives, private or professional, if there are others that don't enjoy the same opportunities.
Follow your passion. Nothing - not wealth, success, accolades or fame - is worth spending a lifetime doing things you don't enjoy.
I want a man who isn't questioning who he is. I want a man to be able to stand next to me and not disappear and not be emasculated by my success.
