Whether in success or in failure I'm proud of every single movie I've ever directed.

Crime and bad lives are the measure of a State's failure all crime in the end is the crime of the community.

In high school in sport I had a coach who told me I was much better than I thought I was and would make me do more in a positive sense. He was the first person who taught me not to be afraid of failure.

Failure is authentic and because it's authentic it's real and genuine and because of that it's a pure state of being.

Sometimes failure isn't an opportunity in disguise it's just you.

Don't think of it as failure. Think of it as time-released success.

We need to teach the highly educated man that it is not a disgrace to fail and that he must analyze every failure to find its cause. He must learn how to fail intelligently for failing is one of the greatest arts in the world.

Failure means a stripping away of the inessential.

It's not necessary to fear the prospect of failure but to be determined not to fail.

But while success and failure depend on conditions the mind neither waxes nor wanes.
