I find that, once you get into a position where you can afford a pair of shoes and a decent level of living, success in itself is empty.

I don't think individual achievement in business is the most meaningful way for it to operate.

Recovering from failure is often easier than building from success.

Television is very much like the motion picture; you need high-end product that will first go on broadcast or cable and eventually on the Internet, and then the lifespan of this content being distributed worldwide.

The odds of being successful are the same for every group that is educated in America. It's just that the group that is not wealthy is 95 percent of the population. So if there are 100 successful people in a room, probably 95 out of 100 came from more modest means.

My strength is coming up with two outs in the last of the ninth.

When I read biographies, I'm only interested in the first few chapters. I'm not interested in when people become successful. I'm interested in what made them successful.
