“The battle of life is, in most cases, fought uphill and to win it without a struggle were perhaps to win it without honor. If there were no difficulties there would be no success if there were nothing to struggle for, there would be nothing to be achieved.”

“I suppose your security is your success and your key to success is your fine palate.”

“I had come to the point when I realized it was unlikely that my film career was going to move beyond a certain level of role. And I was - because I had graphic instances of it - handicapped by the success of Star Trek. A director would say, 'I don't want Jean-Luc Picard in my movie' - and this was compounded by X-Men as well.”

“The only question to ask yourself is, how much are you willing to sacrifice to achieve this success?”

“Success is important only to the extent that it puts one in a position to do more things one likes to do.”

“I have found no greater satisfaction than achieving success through honest dealing and strict adherence to the view that, for you to gain, those you deal with should gain as well.”

“To do a common thing uncommonly well brings success.”
