I think when you're doing a lead role, there is so much more pressure. If you fail, not only do you fail, but everybody else fails, too. As opposed to when it's a supporting role and it's only you that sucked.

I never see failure as failure, but only as the game I must play and win.

I'm fully aware that things that resonate and become real hits are the exception to the rule, so much so that I've wired myself for failure.

Failure is a part of success.

If at first you don't succeed, failure may be your style.

And no, having the hits is just more work.

Failure has been my best friend as a writer. It tests you, to see if you have what it takes to see it through.

Just because you've got a hit doesn't mean you've made it.

What strikes me is that there's a very fine line between success and failure. Just one ingredient can make the difference.
