As soon as I did my first five minutes of stand-up I knew that I would rather be a failure at comedy than a success in marketing.

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

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.

In a crowded marketplace fitting in is a failure. In a busy marketplace not standing out is the same as being invisible.

You must not demand the failure of your peers because the more good things that are around in film in television in theater - why the better it is for all of us.

What we've got here is a failure to communicate.

Failure is unfortunately as common as success.

We judged that a sudden disorderly failure of Bear would have brought with it unpredictable but severe consequences for the functioning of the broader financial system and the broader economy with lower equity prices further downward pressure on home values and less access to credit for companies and households.

Sometimes people call me a success for all the reasons that make me think I'm a failure.
