Eric Jerome Dickey Quotes

I don't like setting goals - I don't like to be disappointed.

I never thought much about success early on. I only thought about being a comedian - or just being in show business, is really more accurate.

The fame and reputation part came later, and never was much of a motivator, although it did enable me to work without feeling guilty about neglecting my studies.

I never had any real expectations about what sort of success I would have or all the publicity.

I want a big career, a big man, and a big life. You have to think big - that's the only way to get it... I just couldn't stand being anonymous.

I don't know about whether I thought I would make it this big.

Success is not something I've wrapped my brain around. If people go to those movies, then yes, that's true, big-time success. If not, it's much ado about nothing.

I don't know if fame will come.

My whole goal in life was to reach that certain success where people will say, 'Hey, that guy can do anything. He's the Evel Knievel of music. He's jumping over 15 buses!'

Whatever your hustle is, go somewhere with it.

I always just wanted to be successful. I didn't know what it was, what I was going to do.

Every time you achieve something, you want to go after what's next. I'd like to see my own shows grow and someday be a headliner, fill up stadiums.

From my position, obviously I want to maximise my potential and go as far as I can go and as high as I can go, but I'm not chasing fame. I get enough of that.

I wanted to be successful, not famous.

There's a difference between expectations and aspirations.

I've won many awards and I want more. If you want to call it hunger then I'm hungry for awards.

When I was growing up, I thought I'd be a lot happier if I was famous and successful and if I had money.

Everybody sets out to do something, and everybody does something, but no one does what he sets out to do.

My concentration was really on getting to university and becoming a doctor. My parents let me know that school marks were important. Achievement was something which came by hard work.

It is so weird to be on this side of that, because when you're starting out, and it seems like you're starting out for so long, you look up to the people who have made their mark. And you sort of want to be that.

Eventually, the most important thing is success. I want to achieve a lot of success. It doesn't feel good when your film doesn't do well, and yet you are appreciated... everybody should succeed.

I do not care for the money, just for the glory.

High expectations are the key to everything.

What you want is the opportunity to work and an audience. Prizes after that are just a great big bonus.

I have a whole, you know, pocket full of dreams I want to achieve. I don't know in which order they're going to fall.
