Having a track record to live up to and the history of successes had become a hindrance. It becomes harder to break out of what people expect you to do.

I realise that I do not change the course of history. I am an actor I do a movie that's the end of it. You have to realise we are just clowns for hire. After I had success it was great at first not to worry about money. It was on my mind when I was growing up.

I think that the entertainment industry itself has a history of chasing success. Any time a hit product comes out all the other companies start chasing after that success and trying to recreate it by putting out similar products.

After all when the world looks to America they look to us because we are the most successful political and economic experiment in human history.

The majority see the obstacles the few see the objectives history records the successes of the latter while oblivion is the reward of the former.

Historian: an unsuccessful novelist.

Increased revenues meaning higher taxes will be a central element of any successful long-term budget plan and President Obama is right to insist that the wealthy - the slice of America that has come through the recession in by far the best financial health - should provide those funds.

I never could have achieved the success that I have without setting physical activity and health goals.

Science is the international language so when we are able to convince countries that good decision-making for human health and animal health is based upon science that's a real success story for us.

Balance is key: I need to be successful in my career to feel fulfilled be surrounded by people I care about to share it with and have my health to be able to do the things I love to do!
