I did grow up next door to Steve McQueen, who was a very famous movie star at the time, but as a kid it didn't impress me. We always had great fun with him. He would take us out on Sundays on his motorcycles, riding around in the desert; he was like a second father.
I've had great success and I've had catastrophic failure. It's really how you handle the rough stuff that defines you, I think.
