Success in the majority of circumstances depends on knowing how long it takes to succeed.

I'm starting to judge success by the time I have for myself, the time I spend with family and friends. My priorities aren't amending they're shifting.

A sign now of success with a certain audience when you do a short comedy piece, anywhere, is that it gets on YouTube and gets around. It's always something you're thinking about unconsciously.

I mean, we are tribal by nature, and sometimes success and material wealth can divide and separate - it's not a new philosophy I'm sharing - more than hardship, hardship tends to unify.

In my time and neighborhood (and in my soul) there was only one standard by which a woman measured success: did some man want her?

My definition of success is control.

If there is any secret to my success, I think it's that my characters are very real to me. I feel everything they feel, and therefore I think my readers care about them.

All business success rests on something labeled a sale, which at least momentarily weds company and customer.

The whole secret to our success is being able to con ourselves into believing that we're going to change the world because statistically we are unlikely to do it.

Failures to heroic minds are the stepping stones to success.
