Accomplishment is such a patronizing, dangerous word, isn't it? I haven't really accomplished anything. The most accomplished thing I've done is to have lived this long - 81.

I don't feel like what I've done are 'accomplishments.'

If it was really successful, it was a life calling, a career I was excited about doing, so I didn't think the overall risk was anywhere near as high as what the reward was.

For me, I find that even though I've accomplished a few things in my life, looking back on accomplishments doesn't give me a sense of satisfaction.

The idea of accumulating ambitions or achievements didn't get much further than wanting to do the next exciting thing. I really haven't set out with any list of achievements.

You get whatever accomplishment you are willing to declare.

It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things.

That's my proudest accomplishment: that I don't feel like a grown-up.

There's something that feels more organic about watching a stunt that's done by you. There's also a feeling of accomplishment doing it yourself.

I've never really spent a lot of time thinking about my individual accomplishments actually.
