A film's success or failure is strictly on the director's shoulders.
I realise that I do not change the course of history. I am an actor, I do a movie, that's the end of it. You have to realise we are just clowns for hire. After I had success it was great, at first, not to worry about money. It was on my mind when I was growing up.
When it comes to anything you want to do in your life, you have to be passionate. Success may come, but in the end, the most important thing is that you are doing what you really want to do.
The line between failure and success is so fine that we scarcely know when we pass it: so fine that we are often on the line and do not know it.
In today's world, social media, people get judged so much by the last thing that happened, I almost feel, in a way, young people get to see that not only is it OK to fail - that's the way you get to championship success, whether it's sports or business or life.
I'm in the studio 24 hours a day. It's true that once you get a certain level of success, you become a target. Talk magazine should be ashamed of themselves.

My college degree was in theater. But the real reason, if I have any success in that milieu, so to speak, is because I spent a lot of years directing, I spent a lot of years behind the camera.
Failure is simply the non-presence of success. But a fiasco is a disaster of mythic proportions.
Studio people are idiots. Until they see someone else doing it and make a success of it, they don't open their minds. Most of them are idiots.

Look at my success. I didn't achieve it overnight. It has been the product of many years' struggle, and every year, my times have shown gradual improvement.
Your positive action combined with positive thinking results in success.
I've discovered that the standard all-American dream of fame and fortune is not success for me. Success for me is simply the joy of working - doing good work - and then bringing that joy home to my family. But if what I do in my work doesn't enrich my life with my family, I'm doing the wrong thing.
People seldom see the halting and painful steps by which the most insignificant success is achieved.
Enjoy failure and learn from it. You can never learn from success.
Yeah, ideally, I'd probably wish to be more anonymous. But scrutiny and success go together. And I want to be successful.

What drives success, and the most successful students, is internal motivation.
You need to understand that a skilled professional songwriter can accelerate your success as an already talented musician. These people are writing every single day, so their craft is really sharp, and it's the best songwriters who consistently get on the radio.
Success is little more than a chemical compound of man with moment.
You can't be afraid of failure and you can't be afraid of success, because either one gets in the way of your work.
