“Nothing succeeds like the appearance of success.”

“The secret of success is to be ready when your opportunity comes.”

“My literary success meant nothing to me.”

“Every success story has a parent who says, 'over my dead body.' Every success story has an old person who walks up to you and says, when you're acting the fool, 'you know I worry about you sometimes.'”

“From success you get a lot of things, but not that great inside thing that love brings you.”

“I'm not sure anybody's ready to see me in a drama. And loving movies so much, I've seen a lot of comics try to make that transition too fast, and it can be detrimental. And I don't think I've had as much success as I need in the comedy genre to open up those opportunities.”

“The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary.”

“Success isn't permanent and failure isn't fatal.”

“If you wish to be a success in the world, promise everything, deliver nothing.”
