If God has made the world a perfect mechanism, He has at least conceded so much to our imperfect intellect that in order to predict little parts of it, we need not solve innumerable differential equations, but can use dice with fair success.

I'm an eternal realist and the success rate for being an actor is pretty low.

Success has nothing to do with what you gain in life or accomplish for yourself. It's what you do for others.

For someone who's had the level of success I've had, there's been very little critical review of my work, which is pretty fascinating.

Rock and Roll is still asking people like me to live up to the old guard's concept of what success is but it doesn't mean anything.

There could be no honor in a sure success, but much might be wrested from a sure defeat.

It was so draining. Going to parties to rub elbows with so-and-so and act like it's no big deal, when really all I was doing was hoping I'd have the success they had.

We're not uncomfortable with it, and we've already been through enough of the music business where I'm not really worried that commercial success is going to in some way - we're already past saving, you know what I mean? It's too late for us.
