Failure is fantastic, because you meet yourself and get to know your limitations. This is how I express myself, and I can't do it any other way.

I think failure is nothing more than life's way of nudging you that you are off course. My attitude to failure is not attached to outcome, but in not trying. It is liberating. Most people attach failure to something not working out or how people perceive you. This way, it is about answering to yourself.

The terror of failure can make you feel like a failure. So a bunch of people think you're not very good at your thing. How much do you invest in what they say? How much do you care? Failure is not putting yourself on the line.

The only person who needs to know about failure is yourself.

I constantly experience failure in that my work is never as good as I want it to be. So I live with failure.

Sometimes people call me a success for all the reasons that make me think I'm a failure.

Failure is enriching. It's also important to accept that you'll make mistakes - it's how you build your expertise. The trick is to learn a positive lesson from all of life's negative moments.

I know it wouldn't seem like I've had a lot of failure in my career, but there are things that I regard as failures, when I look at certain performances and go, 'That's not good enough.'

I'm drawn to failure. I feel like I'm contending with it constantly in my own life.

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.
