I'm very comfortable with failure. I'm very comfortable being the guy who disappoints people.

Los Angeles was an impression of failure of disappointment of despair and of oddly makeshift lives. This is California? I thought.

There's something to be said for failing. It's not the failure you feel it's the failure that people project when something disappoints. You're back to ground zero where there's no expectations and that's where I like to be.

While it is important for people to see your promise you must also remember that hope is the keeper of both happiness and disappointment the father of both progress and failure.

There's always failure. And there's always disappointment. And there's always loss. But the secret is learning from the loss and realizing that none of those holes are vacuums.

You shouldn't be afraid of failure - when something fails you think 'What did I learn from that experience? I can do better next time.' Then kill that project and move on to the next. Don't get disappointed.

My career was full of struggles and dreams disappointments and peaks and valleys. But there was no Twitter no Facebook or TMZ. Young actors could make mistakes and not become the focus of tabloids.

I was in college and very disappointed. I majored in commercial art and interior design for three or four years. At that time it seemed the thing I really wanted to do production design just wasn't available in the U.K. so I turned to music.

Nobody with an IQ higher than emergency-room temperature could ever believe that 'death panels' would be appointed to nudge the elderly toward euthanasia. Yet for idle entertainment it's hard to beat Sarah Palin's ignorant nattering on the subject.

Death and life have their determined appointments riches and honors depend upon heaven.
