If you're not actively involved in getting what you want, you don't really want it.

Promising something that seems popular at the time that you know you're never going to deliver - that's the kind of cynical politics that I don't want any part of.

The bottom line is, you really have to commit to something if you're going to be successful in it.

Once you achieve one goal, you should be looking forward to trying to build onto the next thing, and not just getting comfortable with what you're doing.

On paper, my history says that my future was not very promising. But through grace, I have the opportunity to prove that where you start is not where you have to end up.

If you're unwilling to try new things and to fail and learn, you don't have a shot. That doesn't mean you are going to be successful, but you have to try to change.

Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.

If you're going to succeed, then you just have to be thick-skinned. It's something I developed early in my career, and it just goes with the territory.

You know, you want everything you do, obviously, to be a success critically and commercially. But what you find out as you go along is that everything won't.

When you know what you want, and want it bad enough, you will find a way to get it.
