"I had done the sitcom thing to lesser and lesser degrees of success." ― David Alan Grier Topic(s): Success More From David Alan Grier "I try to make my bed every day for mental health. Coming home to an unmade bed or a room with clothes all over will depress me." "When I was a kid, I wanted to walk with my dad’s limp – my dad was my hero – but that infuriated him, and he would make me walk back and forth in the living room until I walked without it." "Every little kid has always wanted to be a race car driver. This gets some of that out." More In Success "I want people to use Perl. I want to be a positive ingredient of the world and make my American history. So, whatever it takes to give away my software and get it used, that’s great."― Larry Wall "I want to see success right away. And I want to never give up, never stop."― Joe Nichols "A person with a new idea is a crank until the idea succeeds."― Mark Twain
