I have been rejected 120 times, probably because I didn't write the right book.

If I get rejected for a part, I pick myself up and say, 'OK, not today, maybe tomorrow I'll get this other part or something.'

I had my share of rejections.

I couldn't tell you the ratio, but probably for every job you see me do, there would be 20 rejections.

You're going to have more rejection than acceptance.

I've had way more rejections than I've had jobs.

Being rejected is not nice, and it never gets any easier no matter where you are in your career.

You take the risk of being rejected.

I still get rejections - frequently - and my goal isn't to never fail, to never be turned down, but simply to succeed more often than I don't. And in order to do that, I have to constantly put myself out there, to judgment, critique, and rejection.

Just because you are different does not mean that you have to be rejected.
