Michael Shannon Quotes

You have to believe that things will happen, you have to work and love what you're doing.

No person who is enthusiastic about his work has anything to fear from life.

If you have passion, there is no need for excuses because your enthusiasm will trump any negative reasoning you might come up with. Enthusiasm makes excuses a nonissue.

When you start being enthusiastic about whatever it is you like, that is the golden age for you.

As long as you are happy and passionate about what you are doing, you will always develop your skills to be the best you can be.

Do whatever interests you the most. Passion breeds success.

Do what you do with love, and success is a natural symptom.

To keep the edge, you just keep doing something new. I'm not gonna say that working is easy, but while I'm doing it, I'm just a happy little moron - that's how my girlfriend describes me. The fact that nothing might happen with those things is not the point. The point is, I'm doing new things, and I have a good feeling in my soul.

Commit to what you love - that's important. Believe in yourself and try as much as possible to do everything you do from a place of love. Not labor, but love.

Just don't give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there is love and inspiration, I don't think you can go wrong.

Why don't you start believing that no matter what you have or haven't done, that your best days are still out in front of you.

I think it's really important to keep on staying motivated.

You work on things and you have such faith in them while you're making them that everything feels special - in a way.

The more you love what you are doing, the more successful it will be for you.

Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.

If you don't love what you're doing with unbridled passion and enthusiasm, you're not going to succeed when you hit obstacles.

All you can do is make something that you like and feel proud of and then just hope for the best and try to get out of its way.

When you're super passionate about something, you're more willing to do all of the grunt work. You know, like, I'm so willing to live on a bus for my whole life because that means I get that one moment on stage or that one moment in the studio that totally fills me.

When you believe in something, it's easy to promote.

Success is about persistence. You can only afford to be persistent in something you deeply enjoy.

Everything is possible when you believe and you work hard.

If you are passionate about something, with hard work and opportunity, you will continue as long as you are enjoying what you do.

I never assume success or crave it. I make what I love and then share it with everyone.

It is so cool to live with inspiration.

I want to win, and I know I'm supposed to win, but I think the biggest thing for me is I have to do the best job I can do but then also enjoy it.
