One never notices what has been done; one can only see what remains to be done.
My father wasn't too crazy about me. I loved him anyway. One of the things I regretted for a long time was that he died before he could see that he would be proud of me. I was actually more what he wished for than he thought.
I've never been critically acclaimed. I've never been nominated for no Grammy. I've never been on no magazine cover. It's almost taboo to say I'm actually good.
I've been in so many good movies that I felt like nobody saw; it's a pretty dreadful feeling.
There's nothing special about me. Nothing has come easy.
Even after 'Gangster' being a success, I was considered a B-grade actress and was a sidekick, even though I was good at what I did, and was jobless for two years.
I have never felt that I am a star. It never came to my mind.
Expect not praise without envy until you are dead.
True progress quietly and persistently moves along without notice.
My career was really odd, because I literally had a greatest hits album out and nobody knew who I was. They knew the songs, but they didn't know me.
The military operation in Lebanon was the most successful military operation in recent Israeli history. Many in Israel don't recognise that.
But as a reporter, that's how you know you're doing a good job - when no one's talking about you. And something has gone wrong if they are.
Sometimes I feel like a has-been who never was.
Sadly, my father died before I graduated, so he didn't see any of the success at all.
I want to be remembered. I want to have a legacy. Van Gogh only sold one painting before he died, which would mean that he wasn't famous when he was alive. But in 2017, I know who Van Gogh is.
After you finish a book, you know, you're dead. But no one knows you're dead. All they see is the irresponsibility that comes in after the terrible responsibility of writing.
I'm an athlete who took the sport to another level. I don't get or ever got the respect from people.
Even during my career, when I read all those great things about me, it's almost like I was reading about someone else. It's almost like there was another person.
I've been working pretty solidly for a long time: Not that anyone would notice, you know what I mean? It's been my goal to work as much as possible, and be as unknown as possible.
I've always felt that people put me down, and I'd fight back. I played football 15 years, and nobody gave me any credit, and they never will do.
Nobody knows my name. Nobody knows me at all, but they call me by the character of the last movie that I was in.
I've passed up opportunities. I've avoided the spotlight. I've never been to Academy Awards, didn't relate to them.
It took me 30 years for people to consider me an overnight success.
I'm undrafted. It's always going to be like that. I have to go above and beyond on everything that I do, even though I have the stats.
I just want to make a point that it's not just great teachers that sometimes shape your life. Sometimes it's the absence of great teachers that shapes your life and being ignored can be just as good for a person as being lauded.
