It's hard for children's authors to be accepted when they try to write adult books. J.K. Rowling is the exception because people are so eager to read anything by her but it took Judy Blume three or four tries before she had a success.

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.

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.

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