People get successful and they start saying, 'Well of course I am! I was chosen! I'm special!' No, you're not.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've been in things that have impressed people and they've come up to congratulate you but in a kind of, you-must-think-you're-really-special way.
I'm not special, no more special than anybody else.
I don't see myself being special; I just see myself having more responsibilities than the next man. People look to me to do things for them, to have answers.
If you ever get rich and famous, by definition you are special. You have done something special, and therefore you start to behave special. Then if the floor drops out, and you become down and out, you have a really new perspective.
I had discovered that I'm much less special than I thought I am. So whatever I find true for myself, other people might also relate to.
Most people I know that are successful have a few things in common that are undeniable: driving ambition, and they have applied that to something they're good at, that they love doing... and they are fun to be around, especially when they're talking about their passion.
I have been lucky in my life to have met people that are special, so extraordinary talented that they somehow are on a different plane. Sometimes these amazingly talented people find a way to keep reinventing themselves to stay relevant and alive. Some fall under the crushing vibrancy of their own intensity.
You know, you want to be a success. You want people to know who you are.
My success is not who I am.
I was always told I was special. And I was also assured that I had a gift and a purpose.
