Success is important only to the extent that it puts one in a position to do more things one likes to do.

My literary success meant nothing to me.

The success of Watermark surprised me. I never thought of music as something commercial it was something very personal to me.

I gave up a lot of things in exchange for my success.

I think that everybody in the world whatever colour or creed has a jerk like JR in his or her family somewhere. Whether it is a father uncle cousin or brother everybody can identify with JR and that certainly had something to do with the success of 'Dallas.'

All business success rests on something labeled a sale which at least momentarily weds company and customer.

If there is any secret to my success I think it's that my characters are very real to me. I feel everything they feel and therefore I think my readers care about them.

A sign now of success with a certain audience when you do a short comedy piece anywhere is that it gets on YouTube and gets around. It's always something you're thinking about unconsciously.

I was if you like a successful schoolboy in that I had a degree of talent in all the required things that make you a success at school.

I've learned it's always better to have a small percentage of a big success than a hundred percent of nothing.

When everything happens to you when you're so young you're very lucky but by the same token you're never going to have that same feeling again. The first time anything happens to you - your first love your first success - the second one is never the same.

Like everybody I have invested in things that have gone bad because there's never any guarantee of success or profit when it comes to money.

Success is always temporary. When all is said and one the only thing you'll have left is your character.

I feel like a hostage to fortune. Not that I am complaining. I wanted to play the role. But in truth I didn't think the show would be such a success. OK I thought it would fail. Not because it was bad. I was confident it was good but plenty of good things just sort of wither on the vine.

In a way a certain amount of self-criticism is a good thing because it keeps you humble. Realizing that no matter what success you've achieved you can still make enemies makes you humble too.

The one thing that makes me feel super lucky about my financial success is that I have a housekeeper.

All of us are born for a reason but all of us don't discover why. Success in life has nothing to do with what you gain in life or accomplish for yourself. It's what you do for others.

I think the measure of your success to a certain extent will be the amount of things written about you that aren't true.

Success makes you less intimidated by things.

The secret to success is to own nothing but control everything.

Philanthropy is the thing that I am really excited about and having success means I can do more.

There is never just one thing that leads to success for anyone. I feel it always a combination of passion dedication hard work and being in the right place at the right time.

Follow your passion. Nothing - not wealth success accolades or fame - is worth spending a lifetime doing things you don't enjoy.

The only thing I can say about having this type of success is that you can get yourself in trouble because basically the world is set open for you. People will say yes to anything you ask so it's basically down to you and what you want or need.
