I realized some of the pitfalls of being well-known; it was nice if you were successful, but it made it just that much harder to take when you failed.

I try to be known more for my work than for anything else.

I'm not very well known. However, the more well known you get, the more people are going to have expectations of you. Although that's great, it also imposes certain pressures.

I set out very calculatedly to become known. The only thing I maybe miscalculated was how easy it would be.

I've been working pretty solidly for a long time: Not that anyone would notice, you know what I mean? It's been my goal to work as much as possible, and be as unknown as possible.

I have tried to know absolutely nothing about a great many things, and I have succeeded fairly well.

Being a known person is pretty much all I've known. I don't remember much of a time when people didn't know who I was.

Naturally it is nice to be widely known for worthwhile achievements, but it forces you to do many things which you don't like to do and these things take up time you want for other things.

I should be known for my work and not how I promote myself and what I do.

The secret of my success is a two word answer: Know people.
