People still don't appreciate how ephemeral success is.

I think that the entertainment industry itself has a history of chasing success. Any time a hit product comes out, all the other companies start chasing after that success and trying to recreate it by putting out similar products.

It would be a joy for me if someone who was working with me became a big success.

In America, as opposed to the old country, success was based on merit.

But I like not these great success of yours for I know how jealous are the gods.

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 means having the courage, the determination, and the will to become the person you believe you were meant to be.

I haven't deliberately set out to play the blonde bombshell in my movies. In fact, it's probably been quite the opposite. After the success of The Mask, I wasn't offered all that many blonde bombshell parts, to be honest. I think people believed from the beginning that I could actually walk and talk at the same time.

Yes I have made a lot of money and I have a lot of respect, my films have done well, and I know there are loads of loads of people who look up to me and really love me. I really just thought this is like a strange dream. I have never thought this is a success - I don't have a standard.

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.
