Writers, as they gain success, feel like outsiders because writers don't come together in real groups.

First-person narrators is the way I know how to write a book with the greatest power and chance of artistic success.

The first condition of success for the League of Nations is, therefore, a firm understanding between the British Empire and the United States of America and France and Italy that there will be no competitive building up of fleets or armies between them.

One man has enthusiasm for 30 minutes, another for 30 days, but it is the man who has it for 30 years who makes a success of his life.

It never made sense to me that someone would achieve any kind of success in show business, only to become a jerk.

You wanna know what scares people? Success. When you don't make moves and when you don't climb up the ladder, everybody loves you because you're not competition.

It was a way out of poverty. It was a way to success. It was a way to education. And it was a way to a brighter day for me.

I raised five children. They all have different personalities. All of them have different issues, different levels of success. That was a learning experience for me.

Look, if you ask a child, 'Would you rather have a fulfilled mother or a stay-at-home Sylvia Plath,' they'll pick Sylvia Plath every time. But I think it's really important that children don't feel their parents' emotional lives depend on their success.
