More From Josh Groban

Would a minute have mattered? no, probably not, although his young son appeared to have a very accurate internal clock. possibly even 2 minutes would be okay. three minutes, even. you could go to five minutes, perhaps. but that was just it. if you could go for five minutes, then you'd go to ten, then half an hour, a couple of hours...and not see your son all evening. so that was that. six o'clock, prompt. every day. read to young sam. no excuses. he'd promised himself that. no excuses. no excuses at all. once you had a good excuse, you opened the door to bad excuses.

Seventy-five years. that's how much time you get if you're lucky. seventy-five years. seventy-five winters, seventy-five springtimes, seventy-five summers, and seventy-five autumns. when you look at it like that, it's not a lot of time, is it? don't waste them. get your head out of the rat race and forget about the superficial things that pre-occupy your existence and get back to what's important now.

For young players, their minds are not overloaded. i am 54 with four kids and i do many other things. even if i stopped everything else, spent months working just on chess, for a long match against most of the top players, a classical match, six hours, say, i don't stand a chance. i have a better chance in shorter matches. rapid is 25 minutes, or blitz events where you have five minutes to make a move, or bullet games, where it is one minute. for blitz, five-minutes chess, i would be top ten, top five. but longer games, no chance.

Leonardo is the most incredible actor, on the planet, with a couple of people alongside him. getting to act with him is just [amazing]. i walked away from my audition for that and i couldn't believe that i'd been acting with him. i've worked with amazing people, but my friends freak out that i'm working with him. i freak out in a geeky acting way. they freak out in a starstruck way. he's leonardo dicaprio, and his fame is so big. that's a complete tangent about that.

Success is how you collect your minutes. you spend millions of minutes to reach one triumph, one moment, then you spend maybe a thousand minutes enjoying it. if you were unhappy through those millions of minutes, what good is the thousand minutes of triumph? it doesn't equate... life is made of small pleasures. good eye contact over the breakfast table with your wife. a moment of touching a friend. happiness is made of those tiny successes. the big ones come too infrequently. if you don't have all those zillions of tiny successes, the big ones don't mean anything.

All those years i had been making movies because i loved movies, and that's what made all the difference. if you're doing it because you love it you can succeed because you'll work harder than anyone else around you, take on challenges no one else would dare take, and come up with methods no one else would discover, especially when their prime drive is fame and fortune. all that will follow later if you really love what you do. because your work will speak itself.
