In hindsight I slid into arrogance based upon past success.

My overnight success was really 15 years in the making. I'd been writing songs since I was 6 and playing in bands and performing since I was 14.

I don't like Tommy on Broadway at all. I like the music I'm pleased with Pete's success but I don't like what they've done to it.

I used to think that losing made you more hungry and determined but after my success at the Olympics and the U.S. Open I realise that winning is the biggest motivation.

I put £150 000 into the stage production of Grease and have got back £1.5 million so far. It has been a fantastic success.

At this point I can't say what network would be picking it up but I know that it would be a success.

Whenever you analyse anyone who has had any success and they're in the headlines you will find they are human and make mistakes. I'm certainly that and I've made a lot of mistakes.

I was successful materially but I know life is much more than worldly success. I saw all these blessings God had given me. The way to give thanks is obedience to God.

Girlfriend and 100 Percent Fun were my two peeks around '92 and '96. The reality is that the times I had the most media success sold lots of records and played bigger shows I had the least control of my own life.

I always envisioned myself being a rapper and being in the game and having success but you never know what it feels like or how you're going to be when you're there.
