Well, I believe that the depth of your struggle can determine the height of your success. I was inspired to come out of everything I’ve been through and end up in a place where I never thought that I would be.
Nothing reinforces a professional relationship more than enjoying success with someone.
I always envisioned myself being a rapper and being in the game and having success, but you never know what it feels like or how you’re going to be when you’re there.
Girlfriend and 100 Percent Fun were my two peeks, around ’92 and ’96. The reality is that the times I had the most media success, sold lots of records and played bigger shows, I had the least control of my own life.
We had maybe the greatest success of any company that I know of in Paris, and after two or three years I wanted to do this same number that we did for PBS, so we did it and Paris had always considered us their darlings.
It’s hard for children’s authors to be accepted when they try to write adult books. J.K. Rowling is the exception because people are so eager to read anything by her, but it took Judy Blume three or four tries before she had a success.
People of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don’t know when to quit. Most men succeed because they are determined to.
Success turns a lot of people off. I have a pretty solid sense of joy and respect that irritates people, and can irritate me, too.

Success is what you do with your ability. It’s how you use your talent.
