At the end of the day I have always seen the end of my relationships as a personal failure. There is nothing ever pretty in saying goodbye.

There is always time for failure.

It has always felt like a failure that Bjorn and I couldn't keep our family together. You never get it back but to this day I don't regret splitting up. The reason behind our separation is one of those things I definitely don't want to go into!

I - and I still consider myself I'm sorry to tell you a Marxist and a Communist but I couldn't help noticing how all the best Marxist analyses are always analyses of a failure.

I've always embraced failure as a noble pursuit. It allows you to be anti whatever anyone wants you to be and to break all the rules.

Success is always less funny than failure.

I've become a professional failure - in order to pay the mortgage I have to remain unemployed. Luckily a disaster always seems to befall me at exactly the right moment.

Failure is what we're all running from we're always running toward success with failure at our back.

Beside every great success are the seeds of enormous failure. In every failure there's the opportunity seeds of great success. They're not miles apart. So if they're that close together and if you're really working you're always gonna have that likelihood that something's not going to work.

No failure in America whether of love or money is ever simple it is always a kind of betrayal of a mass of shadowy shared hopes.
