Even great people are always slightly disappointing, which is generally what makes them interesting.

I don't hang out with the glitteringly successful people; I hang out with people who've been friends for many years, and to some extent I feel my worldly success is a bit uncomfortable for them.

If people have to tell you how successful they are, they really aren't that successful.

For me, the most interesting people are ones who often work against their best interests. Bad choices. They go in directions where you go, 'No no no nooo!' You push away someone who is trying to love you, you hurt someone who's trying to get your trust, or you love someone you shouldn't.

When you look at people who are successful, you will find that they aren't the people who are motivated, but have consistency in their motivation.

It's very hard to find someone who's successful and dislikes what they do.

I find people interesting. People trying hard are interesting. People with a passion are interesting - whether it's old cars or taxidermy or knitting.

I think it bothers people to see people that are happy and successful. So they try to find what's wrong with them.

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.
