I don't think success arrives and you're suddenly happy. It's not like that. If people think that they'll be very disappointed.

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.

But I think it's more normal for my team to have no success than it is to win two consecutive European cups.

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

I think you can have moderate success by copying something else but if you really want to knock it out of the park you have to do something different and take chances.

My career started young and I was really ambitious and then I had success and I hung out with people who were much older. I think I might have been temporally misplaced so I thought I was 40. It was a premature midlife crisis.

People think your success is just a matter of having a pretty face. But it's easy to be chewed up and spat out. You've got to stay ahead of the game to be able to stay in it.

I was very clear that I wanted to keep 'Thor' out of the rest of the Marvel universe for no less than the first six issues. And the success of the book I think speaks well to that decision.

I always think when there's stuff that people don't like I always say that if I have another success I'll enjoy it more but you don't really.

I don't think success is harmful as so many people say. Rather I believe it indispensable to talent if for nothing else than to increase the talent.

I think the idea that you know who your inner self is on a daily basis because... you know. What's good for you 25 years ago may not be good for you now. So to keep in touch with that I think that's the first ingredient for success. Because if you're a successful human being everything else is gravy I think.

I think the success of democracy is not really police security it's the presence of a broad middle class. The stronger the middle class of a people is the less you have to worry about one group coming in and exploiting the democratic process for its own ends.

I think people often confuse success with fame and stardom.

Success is just being happy. And I try so many different things. I do a lot of different things. Because I think God has helped me to love myself. I know who God is and I love God.

I think all those people I did stories about measured their own success by the joy their work was giving them.

Your success depends mainly upon what you think of yourself and whether you believe in yourself.

I was motivated by just thinking that if you had all this external success that everyone would love you and everything would be peaceful and wonderful.

I don't know what keeps me going. Sometimes I wonder... I think it's just pure perseverance and wanting to succeed and having that burning desire to always have success.

Think of yourself as on the threshold of unparalleled success. A whole clear glorious life lies before you. Achieve! Achieve!

I don't think about my previous success. I'm happy that the work I've done has been very successful.

Think of success as a game of chance in which you have control over the odds. As you begin to master concepts in personal achievement you are increasing your odds of achieving success.

It's very easy for me to say what success is. I think success is connecting with an audience who understands you and having a dialogue with them. I think success is continuing to push yourself forward creatively and not sort of becoming a caricature of yourself.

The Lord gave us two ends - one to sit on and the other to think with. Success depends on which one we use the most.

I have no problem with the people who work hard to get success. But I think people are very jealous about success. I work very hard and they don't appreciate that.
