A lot of people don't have near the amount of success as I've been blessed to have, and it's all about working hard and hoping that continues.

My success was due to good luck, hard work, and support and advice from friends and mentors. But most importantly, it depended on me to keep trying after I had failed.

I think success happens when it's supposed to and when you can appreciate it. I am grateful that it didn't happen for me at 22 or 23. I would've been foolish enough to think that we're all entitled to it, instead of it being the divine blessing that it is.

Success came to us at an age where we could enjoy it. We went through a lot of hard times, so we appreciate success all the more now.

Success is a wonderful thing, but it tends not to be the sort of experience that we learn from. We enjoy it; perhaps we even deserve it. But we don't acquire wisdom from it.

Success comes to you with luck and a lot of hard work, but it doesn't give you the right to be any better than anybody else.

The minute I went into business, I was a success, and I've done well ever since.

Success is a sort of metaphysical experience. I live exactly as I did before - only on a slightly bigger scale. Naturally, I won't be corrupted. I'll sit there in my Rolls, uncorrupted, and tell my chauffeur, uncorruptedly, where to go.

I can't say I'm surprised I was successful. I was determined - and I got it.
