Whatever success I've had, I always like to top it. — © Bernie Mac
Whatever success I've had, I always like to top it.
I've always been too hard on myself to behave like I've arrived or even to enjoy whatever success I've had. I've always envisioned myself higher than where I was and I still do. With each success I think, 'That's nice but I'm supposed to go there!'
I don't think about the success that I've had - I've had a lot of success with music - but I always look at it like it's a new day.
Nothing fails like success. Because when you are at the top, it's so easy to stop doing the very things that brought you to the top.
For the players, these top, top, top games or these top, top, top events - like a World Cup or a European Championship - are not common but, of course, something special.
Whatever success we have had in maintaining our culture has been instrumental in Intel's success in surviving strategic inflection points.
Yes, I have done a few things like always, worked immensely hard, always respected people, admired good work, and never let success blow my top off; probably this has worked in my favour.
From Day One, I've always had to work to find my way onto the court or onto the top position or whatever it may be.
Of course it's difficult to top a box office success like Emmanuelle, so it will always be my most important work. But that's nothing to be ashamed of.
Once you've been at the top, you're always gonna know what it's like to be at the top. If you've never been at the top, you're not worrying about what it feels like being there.
I think in any profession, in general, you always imagine yourself at the top of it. And I'm not trying to say I'm at the top of my profession, but I've seen what the top people do and what the top people live like. And that's definitely something I want to be a part of.
I'm not concerned at all to have a number one song or a top 10 or top 50 or top whatever.
I always wanted my kids to like me and think I was funny, so I made up this story about a kid named Jake and his racecar that he had built from scratch, fully loaded with whatever fantastical gadget he or I wanted him to have at the moment. I loved making up the stories off the top of my head.
I've always been somewhere down from the top, so I've never had to suffer being knocked off the top.
I'm proud of Jay Z's success and Kanye's success. Inside, I feel like I had something to do with their success... I don't have anything but positive things to say.
I always had a larger view. I'm interested in real life - my family, my friends. I have tried never to define myself by my success, whatever that is. My happiness is way beyond roles and awards.
Every movie that I've had to really knock down the door for has been an enormous success for me. Not just like a financial success but a real personal success.
