I understood immediately that to get success I had to make for the front door, not for the back one.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't have to put on a front. If I had to, it would be difficult and tiring.
Don't ever slam a door, you might want to go back.
It doesn't matter how successful you are in this business, it's tough to get through the next door.
But the path you end up on means that you have to close a lot of doors, too.
I don't believe in this business of being behind, better to be in front.
You never know what doors are going to open up and why they are going to open up. You've got to be ready to walk through them.
There are always door openings. And gradually, it accumulates. The opportunities open up in front of you.
I certainly tried to make the House a more open and effective place, and I believe I succeeded.
I'm the one by the backdoor - I am not the one in the middle of the party.
The hardest part about this business is accepting the back end with the same love that you accepted the front end.
