I never set myself too high a goal. It was always tone and feeling, for me.
Acting isn't like being an athlete. There's no real quantifiable measure. It's just a bunch of people feeling things.
I think success has a different definition for everyone.
The dreamer's valuation of a thing lost - not another man's - is the only standard to measure it by, and his grief for it makes it large and great and fine, and is worthy of our reverence in all cases.
You could be winning and feel like you're losing because the scorecard you're using is unfair.
But what seems like a reasonable distance to one person might feel too far to somebody else.
I always thought I should base how good I am on how good I feel I am.
Personally, I don't like the term 'success.' It's too arbitrary and too relative a thing. It's usually someone else's definition, not yours.
I run four times a week. And I don't count miles - I don't do that. I don't care about that. I care about how I feel, and I run according to how I feel.
