Success can be destructive to the creative process. I say it all the time: success is as dangerous as total failure.
Success is usually the culmination of controlling failure.
The secret of success is learning how to use pain and pleasure instead of having pain and pleasure use you. If you do that, you're in control of your life. If you don't, life controls you.
Success comes when people act together; failure tends to happen alone.
There's more to life than success, and if you can try to be more well-rounded, you'll be able to enjoy your success more. It won't own you or control you.
My definition of success is to live your life in a way that causes you to feel a ton of pleasure and very little pain - and because of your lifestyle, have the people around you feel a lot more pleasure than they do pain.
Success is often achieved by those who don't know that failure is inevitable.
Success is a matter of one's own feeling about oneself.
Success is a sort of metaphysical experience. I live exactly as I did before - only on a slightly bigger scale. Naturally, I won't be corrupted. I'll sit there in my Rolls, uncorrupted, and tell my chauffeur, uncorruptedly, where to go.
Success has nothing to do with what you gain in life or accomplish for yourself. It's what you do for others.
