My life, in some ways, has been a half-measure. I didn't commit myself all the way to my marriage and family, because I would have given up more. And I didn't go all the way with just being completely selfish. I always wonder where my career would be if I was more selfish.

I'm just selfish. I have to be for what I do.

Now is the one time in my life I can be 100% selfish. I'm not married; I don't have kids; I can focus on my career.

I have been a selfish being all my life, in practice, though not in principle.

I'm not selfish at all.

There are points in your life, especially if you have creative ambitions, where selfishness is necessary.

When you go out there and do the things you're supposed to do, people view you as selfish.

Being selfish to me means that you have to look out for yourself and you don't have to sacrifice.

I know I have a successful career, a successful life. If I sit and say, 'Look, I have a comfortable life,' and I... just think about myself, I don't think that would be fair. That would be very selfish. Because everything I do in my life is to benefit my people.
