Success

I dont think success arrives and youre suddenly happy. Its not like that. If people think that theyll be very disappointed. – Michael Hutchence

I think the success of a talk show depends on how true it is to the personality of the person hosting it. The shows I really admire, like Oprah and Ellen, are distinctively like their hosts, so I think my show will be successful only if we try to stay consistent to my own sense of myself. – Jane Pauley

The kind of theater that I do is sort of narrative realism, which I think in the broadest sense is legitimate to say is mainstream. I mean, in a certain sense, Suzan-Loris plays have had mainstream levels of success. But Suzan-Lori is in some ways not a narrative realist. – Tony Kushner

If theres no fire, theres no scream. If theres no scream, then no one hears you and no one comes to help you in the first place. The depth of my struggle has definitely determined the height of my success. To be able to teach my kids not just about success but about the struggle that comes with it. – R. Kelly

Put paying your dues and all that puts so much into being a success. You have an understanding of what its about, being on your own for three or four years and living day to day on $3, or living in an apartment with no electricity. – Taylor Kitsch

With success came an ever-growing burden of responsibility. I lived with a near-constant low-level anxiety that I would make a mistake that would not only threaten my career, but also my brothers – not to mention the livelihoods of many people who work with us or for us. – Donny Osmond

Writers, as they gain success, feel like outsiders because writers dont come together in real groups. – Anne Rice
