After my spectacular failures, I could not be satisfied with an ordinary success.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've always had to have some kind of failure before I was successful.
I've had great success and I've had catastrophic failure. It's really how you handle the rough stuff that defines you, I think.
I've had a lot of success; I've had failures, so I learn from the failure.
I am far more comfortable with failure than I ever will be with success.
I had five years of failure, really, before I had the first initial sign of success.
If I had permitted my failures, or what seemed to me at the time a lack of success, to discourage me I cannot see any way in which I would ever have made progress.
Sometimes people call me a success for all the reasons that make me think I'm a failure.
I was brought up to believe that there is no such thing as failure as long as I'm trying my best. So I've had a 'blood, guts and glory' approach through my whole life.
I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.
All I can do will only ever be a faint image of what I see and my success will always be less than my failure or perhaps equal to the failure.
