Quote

I've always had very high aims for my life and for my career, for anything that I do.

Everybody has a high point and a lot goes into that: timing, situation, general consciousness.

All who have accomplished great things have had a great aim, have fixed their gaze on a goal which was high, one which sometimes seemed impossible.

Great ambition is the passion of a great character. Those endowed with it may perform very good or very bad acts. All depends on the principles which direct them.

The most characteristic mark of a great mind is to choose some one important object, and pursue it for life.

Every man of action has a strong dose of egoism, pride, hardness, and cunning. But all those things will be regarded as high qualities if he can make them the means to achieve great ends.

Great things are accomplished by talented people who believe they will accomplish them.

It is in the compelling zest of high adventure and of victory, and in creative action, that man finds his supreme joys.

'High Concept' means a book or a film whose core idea can be stated in a single sentence, such as 'Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito are twins.' Or, 'Arnold is pregnant.'

The aim of literary ambition is to demonstrate one's greatness of soul.
