"We cannot change what we are not aware of, and once we are aware, we cannot help but change."

"Monetary success is not success. Career success is not success. Life, someone that loves you, giving to others, doing something that makes you feel complete and full. That is success. And it isn't dependent on anyone else."

"Animals have never betrayed me. They are an easy prey, as I have been throughout my career. So we feel the same. I love them."

"I learned early in my career to not let myself get in the way of humor but, instead, find what is great in a talented person."

"I hope to make acting my career for the rest of my life, if I can."

"Who is willing to be satisfied with a job that expresses all his limitations? He will accept such work only as a 'means of livelihood' while he waits to discover his 'true vocation'. The world is full of unsuccessful businessmen who still secretly believe they were meant to be artists or writers or actors in the movies."

"I've had a very laughable career and what has seen me through is my sense of humor."

"It is not as much about who you used to be, as it is about who you choose to be."

"In a person's career, well, if you're process-oriented and not totally outcome-oriented, then you're more likely to be success. I often say 'pursue excellence, ignore success.' Success is a by-product of excellence."

"Friendship is not by force but by choice.You can never please everybody, he who aims to please everybody will end up pleasing nobody."

"Yeah, I miss it. You don't just break off a friendship you've had with a sport, and with all those you've met all over the country. We've got some friends, some very close friends, and you just sit back and think how fortunate you were having a career like that. And, actually, there's nothing in the game of baseball that hasn't happened to me."

"Why do they always teach us that it's easy and evil to do what we want and that we need discipline to restrain ourselves? It's the hardest thing in the world--to do what we want. And it takes the greatest kind of courage. I mean, what we really want."

"I'm living by example by continuing on with my career and having a full, rich life, and I am incidentally gay."

"When defeat comes, accept it as a signal that your plans are not sound, rebuild those plans, and set sail once more toward your coveted goal."

"Putting your time in at the office; dutifully spawning your two point five; smiling politely at your retirement party; then chewing on your bedsheet and choking on your canned peaches at the nursing home. It was better never to have been born-never to have wanted anything, never to have hoped for anything."

"If doctors are paid the same salary as bus drivers, community would not be crazy about making their children doctors"

"God gave me a second chance. I am so very glad with what is going on with my career, but I want to be a success in my relationship with my children."

"Persistence. Perfection. Patience. Power. Prioritize your passion. It keeps you sane."

"I live again the days and evenings of my long career. I dream at night of operas and concerts in which I have had my share of success. Now like the old Irish minstrel, I have hung up my harp because my songs are all sung."

"I have dozens of loyal fans! Baker's dozens! …they come in thirteens."
