I set out very calculatedly to become known. The only thing I maybe miscalculated was how easy it would be.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Being a known person is pretty much all I've known. I don't remember much of a time when people didn't know who I was.
I think I've benefited from not being hugely known. It means I have to do something really effective to be noticed.
The secret of my success is a two word answer: Know people.
I realized some of the pitfalls of being well-known; it was nice if you were successful, but it made it just that much harder to take when you failed.
It wasn't until late in life that I discovered how easy it is to say, 'I don't know.'
I try to be known more for my work than for anything else.
People sometimes think I'm sort of all-knowing.
Whenever I met anyone who knew anything, I would bore them stiff until they told me what they knew.
It wasn't until the late '70s that a lot of people knew me.
My problem was I let myself become known before I knew myself.
