If the film is a hit then everyone shares the success. If it is going to be a disaster then it might as well be because of me not because of somebody else.

I had come to the point when I realized it was unlikely that my film career was going to move beyond a certain level of role. And I was - because I had graphic instances of it - handicapped by the success of Star Trek. A director would say 'I don't want Jean-Luc Picard in my movie' - and this was compounded by X-Men as well.

Everyone applauds each other's success in Hollywood because they know how tough it is but it really comes down fundamentally to the process.

To win in Australia for me has to be the ultimate success because the Aussies live for sport.

I'd rather a young black actor read about success as opposed to how tough it was. I get these roles because I can act and that's it. Hopefully that's it.

The real end winner of NAFTA is going to be Mexico because we have the human capital. We have that resource that is vital to the success of the U.S. economy.

I have decided to fight for my country because we have build a success story in Guanajuato with real results and more yet to come in the next two years.

You wanna know what scares people? Success. When you don't make moves and when you don't climb up the ladder everybody loves you because you're not competition.

Writers as they gain success feel like outsiders because writers don't come together in real groups.

The whole secret to our success is being able to con ourselves into believing that we're going to change the world because statistically we are unlikely to do it.
