Some say I'm an overnight success. Well, that was a very long night that lasted about 10 years.

People who think achieving success is a linear A-to-Z process, a straight shot to the top, simply aren't in touch with reality. There are very few bona fide overnight success stories. It just doesn't work that way. Success appears to happen overnight because we all see stories in newspapers and on TV about previously unknown people who have suddenly become famous.

doesn't mean it didn't exist before.
