For every successful actor or actress, there are countless numbers who don't make it. The name of the game is rejection. You go to an audition and you're told you're too tall or you're too Irish or your nose is not quite right. You're rejected for your education, you're rejected for this or that and it's really tough. ↗

This idea that you're a successful tough guy if you evade taxes and deceive the state has got to change. ↗

I think the success of a talk show depends on how true it is to the personality of the person hosting it. The shows I really admire, like 'Oprah' and 'Ellen,' are distinctively like their hosts, so I think my show will be successful only if we try to stay consistent to my own sense of myself. ↗

Few things are brought to a successful issue by impetuous desire, but most by calm and prudent forethought. ↗
