- I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying.
- Michael Jordan on Failure
- I can't say I'm not grateful to have journalists writing about me as a genius. But I know it's not true. I'm not confused.

- Oprah Winfrey on Failure
- I don't have a fear factor. Well, not much of one. And I'm willing to risk quite a lot - as a comedian, you're always risking a lot. You're risking failure, especially if you're improvising and going on TV shows trying to make comedy out of thin air. That is quite a risky business.
- David Walliams on Failure
- I don't know many people, if any, who have had some straight line toward success. I mean, they start here, they work hard, they've got what it takes, and they just go straight to the top over some number of years. Most people get a little failure.

- Amy Sedaris on Failure
- I failed the LSAT. Basically, if I had not failed, I'd have been a lawyer and there would be no Spanx. I think failure is nothing more than life's way of nudging you that you are off course. My attitude to failure is not attached to outcome, but in not trying. It is liberating.

- I have a lack of fear, whereas in the past the fear of failure was a powerful motivator. Anyway, I have great expectations for the future, but I just don't know if I'm the monarch of all I survey.
- Sylvester Stallone on Failure
- I have a tendency to sabotage relationships I have a tendency to sabotage everything. Fear of success, fear of failure, fear of being afraid. Useless, good-for-nothing thoughts.
- Michael Buble on Failure
- I have always been pushed by the negative. The apparent failure of a play sends me back to my typewriter that very night, before the reviews are out. I am more compelled to get back to work than if I had a success.

- I know acts and I'm not going to name names but these people sold ten million copies the first time and the second album sells three million and it's considered a failure and they're dropped and that's really a shame.
- Gerry Beckley on Failure
- I love Rauschenberg. I love that he created a turning point in visual history, that he redefined the idea of beauty, that he combined painting, sculpture, photography, and everyday life with such gall, and that he was interested in, as he put it, 'the ability to conceive failure as progress.'
- Jerry Saltz on Failure

- Michael Koryta on Failure
- I may be a successful football player, but I feel like such a failure.
- Brett Favre on Failure
- I mean, I love L.A. - I love living here. But I wish that we could make things without the need to hit a home run every single time. It's a unique thing to Hollywood that if you don't do that every time, then you're considered a failure.
- Kristen Stewart on Failure
- I mean, I love L.A. - I love living here. But I wish that we could make things without the need to hit a home run every single time.

Or are you making movies to learn something?'
- Kristen Stewart on Failure
- I met Ashley two weeks before I married him. It was a joke-the most ridiculous thing I've ever done. Once I was married, I didn't want to be a failure, so I stuck it out for six months, which was about six months too long.
- Shannen Doherty on Failure
- I never see failure as failure, but only as the game I must play and win.
