My life has been a happy accident. Anybody who succeeds in anything should count their lucky stars, because that's the biggest element. It's not hard work; it's not necessarily talent.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In my lifetime, I've discovered a great many incredibly talented individuals. Some have achieved stardom. Simultaneously, I've seen many dreams shattered, egos destroyed and lives changed forever. The end destination may well be fame and fortune, but the road to stardom is littered with broken hearts.
I was one of those lucky people with only one talent. It is harder for people with many talents to decide what to do.
I'm extremely lucky that my passion - making and creating - is also my career.
I have worked hard in my career, but I have been lucky as well.
I have been obscenely lucky. I've got most of the things I've asked for and done well at the things I've wanted to succeed at.
There's really no substitute for working hard. I think that's my biggest talent. There are always people who are funnier and more talented than I am, but I don't take anything for granted and I commit myself 100% to each of my roles.
Professionally, I feel like I won the lottery and I am the luckiest person in the entire world.
I have had lots of luck in my career but there has also been a lot of hard work.
The talent of success is nothing more than doing what you can do well, and doing well whatever you do without thought of fame. If it comes at all it will come because it is deserved, not because it is sought after.
There are people who are able to plan their career, their future, but I've never had any talent for that. I just do things and hope for the best. Say yes, take a chance, and sometimes it's terrific and sometimes it's not.
