“Success comes because you have found your ecological niche and can flourish by doing your own valuable thing.”

“You have a list of things that you want to do in life—to own your own house, to own your own car, to own your own yacht. [Making] wine was on my list, because it has a particular glamour to it.”

“A condition of youth, your own importance. The mark you'd make upon the world. But a man learns sooner or later. You take your little niche and make it your own. You ride out the time as best you can.”

“One thing I learned is that cinematography is not something you do by yourself. It’s a group [project]. You need to develop your own vision, but the key to a successful film is communication with your director and your team.”

“You must create your own path if you wish to become successful in life. Meaning, you must seek for success where you believe it can't be found and not where many individuals claim it's found.”

“Your value is not determined by your valuables, and God says the most valuable things in life are not things!”

“It's always easy to blame others. You can spend your entire life blaming the world, but your successes or failures are entirely your own.”

“Success in any area of your life is not found in producing what you think you must produce on your journey, it’s found in the love, the joy, the happiness, and the sense of True Self that you experience—and that others experience in their life because of you—along the way. That alone can produce the rest of what you think you are “supposed to” produce.”

“As successes come your way, remember that you didn't do it alone. It is always we.”

“Do your own thing on your own terms and get what you came here for”
