I don't want to be in competition with anyone. I'm friends with women I work with and I applaud any success they have in their careers. And I'm not just saying that because it sounds good, I genuinely want people to do well and have success.
I'd love to win trophies, be in movies, have a body of work I'm proud of and find a way to enjoy it along the way. Success is probably a more of a complicated thing than that.
I've been failing for, like, ten or eleven years. When it turns, it'll turn. Right now I'm just trying to squeeze through a very tight financial period, get the movie out, and put my things in order.

Life without balance can cost you your relationships. Life without balance can cost you your health. Life without balance can cost you your spirituality.

The secret to my success has been optimism tempered by anger.
Some people wanted champagne and caviar when they should have had beer and hot dogs.
For me, the greatest hurdle to success has always been failure.
It doesn’t matter how strong or capable you are; if you don’t have a big heart, you will not succeed.
The deepest personal defeat suffered by human beings is constituted by the difference between what one was capable of becoming and what one has in fact become.
Success breeds complacency. Complacency breeds failure. Only the paranoid survive.
We must seek support in the moral values that have ensured the progress of our civilization. Honesty and hard work, responsibility and faith in our strength are bound to bring us success. There should be no place for despondency. The crisis can and must be fought by uniting our intellectual, spiritual and material resources.
Opportunities are usually disguised as hard work, so most people don't recognize them.
