Winning in Afghanistan is having a country that is stable enough to ensure that there is no safe haven for Al Qaida or for a militant Taliban that welcomes Al Qaida. That's really the measure of success for the United States.

I was trying to uphold what I thought feminism was as best I could by supporting women by trying to create an opportunity to get women to get together play music together and celebrate the fact that we are having great success making music on our own and together.

Success consists in being successful not in having potential for success. Any wide piece of ground is the potential site of a palace but there's no palace till it's built.

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

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.

There's not an instruction manual on how to deal with success so you just have to rely on having great friends and a good team.

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've stopped apologizing to myself for having this great period of success and financial acceptance.

Honesty is the most single most important factor having a direct bearing on the final success of an individual corporation or product.

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.

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.

Success to me is having ten honeydew melons and eating only the top half of each slice.

What is success? I think it is a mixture of having a flair for the thing that you are doing knowing that it is not enough that you have got to have hard work and a certain sense of purpose.

And I think we understand we cannot make social change for all workers until we have enough strength membership strength and at the same time having membership strength and only making change for a limited group of workers is not what our country really needs for people that work.

I gambled on having the strength to live two lives one for myself and one for the world.

Girl power is about loving yourself and having confidence and strength from within so even if you're not wearing a sexy outfit you feel sexy.

I think that we had a different view of what the 21st century could be like with much more of a sense from our perspective of trying to have an interdependent world: looking at solving regional conflicts having strength in alliances operating within some kind of a sense that we were part of the international community and not outside of it.

Julie Mia and I just met for a couple days doing some work but really under the guise of having fun. We do events like the Women's Sports Foundation Dinner where we get to not only do a good thing for the community but we get to hang out with one another again.

I think having a vision can make someone an influential man. I'm not talking about acting or anything like that I'm talking about people I admire whether it's a writer or a musician or a sports figure or a politician whatever.

I'm really into extreme sports and just having fun.

Reverse every natural instinct and do the opposite of what you are inclined to do and you will probably come very close to having a perfect golf swing.

Golf is played by twenty million mature American men whose wives think they are out having fun.

My motto was always to keep swinging. Whether I was in a slump or feeling badly or having trouble off the field the only thing to do was keep swinging.

The only thing of value I have in this life is my ability to tell a story whether in print orating writing it down or having people acting it out. That's why I'm always hoping society never collapses because the first ones to go will be entertainers.
