attitude became comments felt success
Over the years, I've become barraged by comments from people, such as, 'Beam me up, Scotty!' and I became defensive. I felt they were derisive and engendered an attitude. I am grateful for the success, but didn't want to be mocked.
defines everybody finding success
Success is different for everyone; everybody defines it in their own way, and that's part of what we do in 'Close Up', finding what it was each person wanted to achieve and what their willingness to sacrifice for that was.
inspirational success running
I was built for the long run, not for the short dash, I guess.
success thinking careers
Careers are here and they're gone. No matter how great we think we are, we're nothing but the temples of Ozymandias-we're ruins in the making.
success wall wind
What have I done? I've blundered my way through life. So I have my picture on the wall. The minute I die, that picture will start to yellow and fade and eventually be gone. Blown in the wind and become part of the molecular structure of something else. These things we see as "success," they're non-accomplishments.
inspirational success insightful
Here's something pompous - you take your day and artistically create it, so every moment has an artistic flavor.
inspirational success hard-work
I think of doing a series as very hard work. But then I've talked to coal miners, and that's really hard work.
artist artists caught maybe remember songs
This show is about the kind of songs you like and can sing, but you can't remember the artist because maybe they never caught on again. We give those artists some renown.
relationship
The longer I go about living, I see it's the relationship that is most meaningful.
fallen human might took worst
Regret is the worst human emotion. If you took another road, you might have fallen off a cliff. I'm content.
across backs frequently running
I frequently dream of being on these horses' backs and running across a field. And the horse and I are one.
gonna including repeating
I'm gonna reveal something to you that's going to come as a shock: If you're a stupid young man, you're usually a stupid old man. Most people, including myself, keep repeating the same mistakes.
love mystical
I love horses. There's something practical and mystical about them.
age feeling foreign striking
I find age such a foreign concept. I have to be reminded. I still have the extraordinary feeling of adventure, striking out into unknown fields.
