There are a lot of people who think that's what's needed to be successful is always being right, always being careful, always picking the right path.

A lot of people don't have near the amount of success as I've been blessed to have, and it's all about working hard and hoping that continues.

Success is a beast. And it actually puts the emphasis on the wrong thing. You get away with more instead of looking within.

You want success, and then when you do get it, you don't want it because of the attention.

Success is very ephemeral. You depend entirely on the desire of others, which makes it difficult to relax.

Success, however you judge what that even means, brings with it certain pressures.

I really feel like my goal, and I don't always achieve it, is to do the best work I can do, and stay out of the results. Because ultimately, the result is not what the work is about. There are other people whose jobs are to focus on those results and maximize them, and that's great. Let them do their job.

I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.

Success breeds success.

The ultimate goal is to be an interesting, useful, wholesome person. If you're successful on top of that, then you're way ahead of everybody.
