'What is success?' It isn't only about winning, but playing in a certain way.
I don't think you've done something by getting a job. I think you've done something by proving you can succeed at that job.
My goal has never been to see how many stats I can rack up.
The measure of achievement is not winning awards. It's doing something that you appreciate, something you believe is worthwhile.
What does it prove, running in the AAU meet?
Foreign policy is like hitting a baseball: if you fail 70 percent of the time, you go to the Hall of Fame.
Success to me is anybody who does something better than somebody else.
I try to write 1,000 words a day - about three pages. When I reach 1,000 words I feel good. Less than that: a failure. More than that: tired.
I had a successful career: not necessarily a Hall of Fame career, but a successful one.
Success, you know, is a relative thing.
If you can get a twelve year-old kid to go listen to Thelonius Monk, what more do you want? Do you want a big pile of cash, too? That's a home run for me.
I come from a world where you get the film done, that's a success.
