There's no such thing as an overnight success. It took me a long to get there.

Success was overnight, but it was a very long night.

Things that look like an 'overnight success' typically are not.

Some say I'm an overnight success. Well, that was a very long night that lasted about 10 years.

My dad told me, 'It takes fifteen years to be an overnight success', and it took me seventeen and a half years.

Look at my success. I didn't achieve it overnight. It has been the product of many years' struggle, and every year, my times have shown gradual improvement.

We didn't really want to be an overnight success as that brings with it its own problems.

The success of most things depends upon knowing how long it will take to succeed.
