I never did a day's work in my life. It was all fun.

Please all, and you will please none.

If you can't make it good, at least make it look good.

You reach a point where you don't work for money.

Effective communication is 20% what you know and 80% how you feel about what you know.

Eighty percent of success is showing up.

Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.
