Success for an athlete follows many years of hard work and dedication.

I was almost kind of trapped by my own success into only doing rock.

You do the work and you want people to see it; but, um while I'm doing the work, the result doesn't matter at all to me. Ultimately, I don't, I don't care whether the film is - you know - some big giant box-office bonanza and I don't care if its a complete flop. To me, when a film gets made and it's actually finished it's a success. They're all a success in their own way.

Most of us serve our ideals by fits and starts. The person who makes a success of living is the one who sees his goal steadily and aims for it unswervingly. That is dedication.

Mr. Brooks and I have been friends forever. He is in seventh heaven with his new success on Broadway.

There are a lot of things that go into creating success. I don't like to do just the things I like to do. I like to do things that cause the company to succeed. I don't spend a lot of time doing my favorite activities.

I'm very competitive, and my ego couldn't handle that lack of success.

So I try not to have any actual expectations for myself for any level of success or failure.

Real success is not on the stage, but off the stage as a human being, and how you get along with your fellow man.

The success of the Rat Pack or the Clan was due to the camaraderie, the three guys who work together and kid each other and love each other.

The manic pursuit of success cost me everything I could love: my wife, my three children, some friends I would have liked to grow old with.

The road to success runs uphill.

The one thing that scares me the most is failing. It scares me that one day I won't be at this level. But while I'm here and while I'm having success early, I'm trying to do everything to stay on this level.

I'm sure that Elvis was happy for me. I think he was the kind of guy that enjoyed other people's success, especially if he had something to do with it.
