Strive for perfection in everything. Take the best that exists and make it better. If it doesn't exist, create it. Accept nothing nearly right or good enough

Take the best that exists and make it better.

I'm not suspicious of success, I'm suspicious of the people who want to attach themselves because of your success.

The hardest thing for me is not to keep laughing. Jennifer particularly is like a clown.
