I had too many big passions in life and it gets in the way of work. You can't concentrate properly on the one thing.

I failed at the biggest things there are in life. I failed in my health, I failed in my marriage, I failed in everything, and I've picked myself up and gone on.

You know, be able to do something great in your life, you're gonna have to realize your failures. You're gonna have to embrace them and figure out how to overcome it.

I have made my mistakes my strengths instead of looking at whose fault it is.

I've always considered myself lucky that I do not have many passions. There's only one pursuit that I have ever truly loved, and that pursuit is writing. This means, conveniently enough, that I never had to search for my destiny; I only had to obey it.

All the passions make us commit faults; love makes us commit the most ridiculous ones.

So many times in my life, people have tried to make me a failure.

My failures have been errors in judgment, not of intent.

Y'know, the real reason why I was such a failure in the sense of being unable to make any sort of a living was because I was really not motivated. I had no motivation.
