For me, "success" is not measured at the end of life. A successful life is what you have when you are doing things. There are moments when I overcome difficulties, and that's when I feel strong and fulfilled. My success, my life, was nothing more than turning ideas into reality.

The wonderful things in life are the things you do, not the things you have.

I don't think psychoanalysis is nonsense necessarily; I just don't see the point of it. An analyst can find out where the problem lie, but a witch from the jungle can do that as well. If I'm not allowed to live my own life, no psychologist is ever going to be able to help me. The real problem is that most people don't live their lives, they just get by somehow.

When I was leaving the auditorium at the end of one of my lectures, someone shouted out, "You've been lucky!" That's right, I thought, I've had more luck than any man deserves.
