My dad told me, 'It takes fifteen years to be an overnight success', and it took me seventeen and a half years.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Some say I'm an overnight success. Well, that was a very long night that lasted about 10 years.
I worked half my life to be an overnight success, and still it took me by surprise.
It's so funny looking back, but my so-called overnight success actually took 15 years. I remember when I didn't have any money, and my only car was mom's Hyundai.
There's no such thing as an overnight success. It took me a long to get there.
People say we were an overnight success. It took us a year to be an overnight success.
I basically took six or seven years off, but then I had another five or four of me not working at all because I was in school. It was really 13 years of me not working at all... I really couldn't even think about it.
I'm what is known as a 40-year overnight success.
My father used to say that it's never too late to do anything you wanted to do. And he said, 'You never know what you can accomplish until you try.'
Sadly, my father died before I graduated, so he didn't see any of the success at all.
It takes 20 years to make an overnight success.
