“I couldn't wait for success, so I went ahead without it.”

“Success makes so many people hate you. I wish it wasn't that way. It would be wonderful to enjoy success without seeing envy in the eyes of those around you.”

“Enjoy your sweat because hard work doesn't guarantee success, but without it, you don't have a chance.”

“Without Struggle There Is No Success”

“You can’t define success in one sentence, a lot of people have tried to do that. Success is relative. What is success to you might not be success to me but I think generally its a state of peace of mind. A state of acceptance and a state of joy.”

“I don’t think artists should be sponsored. You should not rely on grants. You either make a success of your art or you don’t.

“Nights without beginning that had no end. Talking about a past as if it'd really happened. Telling themselves that this time next year, this time next year, things were going to be different.”
