I constantly experience failure in that my work is never as good as I want it to be. So I live with failure.

So nevertheless what I'm saying is that what one is - one's parameters are constantly narrowed by one's success and my desire is to widen my field even if I risk failure.

As might be supposed my parents were quite poor but we somehow never seemed to lack anything we needed and I never saw a trace of discontent or a failure in cheerfulness over their lot in life as indeed over anything.

One must never assume that a character is sympathetic because of either the actor playing them or the fact that they're a lead. I think that's a recipe for failure actually because if they become unsympathetic you lose your audience.

If you're 40 years old and you've never had a failure you've been deprived.

Admitting failure is quite cleansing but never - pleasurable.

Even as far back as when I started acting at 14 I know I've never considered failure.

Even when you have doubts take that step. Take chances. Mistakes are never a failure - they can be turned into wisdom.

Enjoy failure and learn from it. You can never learn from success.

I realized that I was afraid to really really try something 100% because I had never reached true failure.
