Put paying your dues and all that puts so much into being a success. You have an understanding of what it's about being on your own for three or four years and living day to day on $3 or living in an apartment with no electricity.

In my time and neighborhood (and in my soul) there was only one standard by which a woman measured success: did some man want her?

When people stand up and talk about the great success that the EU has been I'm not sure anybody saying it really believes it themselves anymore.

Success isn't everything but it makes a man stand straight.

While I was doing stand-up I thought I knew for sure that success meant getting everyone to like me. So I became whoever I thought people wanted me to be. I'd say yes when I wanted to say no and I even wore a few dresses.

It's very easy for me to say what success is. I think success is connecting with an audience who understands you and having a dialogue with them. I think success is continuing to push yourself forward creatively and not sort of becoming a caricature of yourself.

I stand ready to lead us down a different path where we're lifted up by our desire to succeed not dragged down by a resentment of success.

I felt invincible. My strength was that of a giant. God was certainly standing by me. I smashed five saloons with rocks before I ever took a hatchet.

The thing with me. I can't stick musicians. I've thought about this. I can't stand them and being stuck in a studio with them I think that's my strength I can hear what they can't.

I have always been an outstanding football player I have always had uncanny abilities great arm strength an immense ability to play the game from a quarterback standpoint. The problem was that I wasn't given the liberty to do certain things when I was young.
