To get down to the quick of it, respect motivates me - not success.

You want success, and then when you do get it, you don't want it because of the attention.

If you have a success you have it for the wrong reasons. If you become popular it is always because of the worst aspects of your work.

Other people's success spurs me on to do well and gives me motivation.

When you suddenly become successful, the change is enormous, both financially and in terms of recognition and the way people treat you. I found that hard to deal with. I got very guilty about it, and I think I put up obstacles to prevent myself enjoying it.

When you achieve a certain amount of success, you want to be doing something else.

Every once in awhile you get encouragement, or you get something that isn't competitive or guilt-inducing from your peers, and it just turns a little light on. It makes it so the work that you do isn't isolating and horrible. There are people who make your life and your work better, and that's something I'm incredibly grateful for.

I guess I'm motivated by the fear of failure to some degree and knowing what can happen when you don't do things the way you need to do them to have success.

I have no problem with the people who work hard to get success. But I think people are very jealous about success. I work very hard and they don't appreciate that.

I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.
