So many stars lose their way and with success become more neurotic not less so.

Success is like a liberation or the first phrase of a love story.

You really have to work hard and apply yourself and by applying yourself and working hard and being diligent you can achieve success.

The very first step towards success in any occupation is to become interested in it.

I sort of understood that when I first started: that you shouldn't repeat a success. Very often you're going to and maybe the first time you do it works. And you love it. But then you're trapped.

The historical basis for the gap between the black middle class and underclass shows that ending discrimination by itself would not eradicate black poverty and dysfunction. We also need intervention to promulgate a middle-class ethic of success among the poor while expanding opportunities for economic betterment.

Well certainly one of the ironies of the success of affirmative action is that the middle class within the black community no longer lives within 'black community' by and large.

I think people often confuse success with fame and stardom.

I always say be humble but be firm. Humility and openness are the key to success without compromising your beliefs.

You've got to eat while you dream. You've got to deliver on short-range commitments while you develop a long-range strategy and vision and implement it. The success of doing both. Walking and chewing gum if you will. Getting it done in the short-range and delivering a long-range plan and executing on that.
