"If success had come along when I was 17 it would either have killed me or sent me completely mad." ― Alex Kapranos Topic(s): Success More From Alex Kapranos "A lot of food criticism has a similar flavor to it, and I’m probably going to write about it in a different way." "I’m not a food critic, and I’m not really an authority to write anything on food." "It’s easy to be lazy when there’s food lying around backstage or there’s a fast-food joint a couple blocks away. But if you walk a little further, ask around a bit, of course there are exciting things to discover." More In Success "Follow your passion. Nothing – not wealth, success, accolades or fame – is worth spending a lifetime doing things you don’t enjoy."― Jonathan Sacks "I must admit that I personally measure success in terms of the contributions an individual makes to her or his fellow human beings."― Margaret Mead "Success is very ephemeral. You depend entirely on the desire of others, which makes it difficult to relax."― Eva Green
