I hate interviews – but you have to do them.

I worked with Lawrence Olivier some years ago. He was a great mentor.

Death will be a great relief. No more interviews.

Not a law firm in the entire city of New York bid for my employment as a lawyer when I earned my degree.

If you don’t let people flourish in their jobs, why are they going to stay?

I won’t have to do any major changes to continue my career a long way, hopefully. Just hopefully stay healthy and be able to help a team out as I go through and still play at a pretty high level.

I like Ryan Gosling as an actor. I watch all of his movies, and he’s Canadian and I just like his swag. I read his interviews and I’m a big fan of his.

There’s so much about Dolly Parton that every female artist should look to, whether it’s reading her quotes or reading her interviews or going to one of her live shows. She’s been such an amazing example to every female songwriter out there.

The goal for me is always to have the opportunity to work in different genres. This is a great and exciting time in my career, where I can have the opportunity to work in different genres, and also I recognize there’s not a lot of actors who have that opportunity and I’m grateful for it.

I built a company at the same time I built a career.

I got a chance to work with Stallone and De Niro – pretty much sums it up for me. You can tell where you’re going in your career by the company you keep.

If I lost my job, I’d get a job at McDonald’s.

When hiring somebody, I never ask to see a curriculum vitae. I feel that since I didn’t have one myself, it would be a bit presumptuous to ask to see anyone else’s.

I built a label at the same time I built a career.

If you want to become a great chef, you have to work with great chefs. And that’s exactly what I did.

In karting, in the European races, you have the cameras and the film crews and you do interviews. At around 13 I’d already started doing bit of media and it just increases more and more with every level you take, especially when you get into cars – and when you hit F1 it’s an even higher step up. It’s something you get used to over time.

The government has completed the entire process to do away with interviews for lower rank jobs. There will be no requirement of interview for Group D,C and B non-gazetted posts in central government.

Over the years, all my coaches and my teammates have contributed a lot to shape my career. I can never forget their contribution and help.

I wanted to get a job being creative, and I did.

People are always asking me in interviews, ‚What do you think of foreign affairs?‘ I just say, ‚I’ve had a few.‘

Most people work just hard enough not to get fired and get paid just enough money not to quit.

Most rock journalism is people who can’t write, interviewing people who can’t talk, for people who can’t read.

In school, many of us procrastinate and then successfully cram for tests. We get the grades and degrees we need to get the jobs we want, even if we fail to get a good general education.

While still working for others, your goal at some point must be to carve out little areas that you can operate on your own, cultivating entrepreneurial skills.

If you get knocked down – setbacks in life, like applying for a job if they don’t hire you – keep trying, keep getting up, keep doing it.

In my research, I’ve interviewed a lot of people who never fit in, who are what you might call ‚different‘: scientists, artists, thinkers. And if you drop down deep into their work and who they are, there is a tremendous amount of self-acceptance.

When I was born, the economy wasn’t in a great state; it was the Depression, and my father had to be quick to try and find work.

I had never been in charge of anything. I’d always worked for someone. I worked for a furniture warehouse. I did masonry. I always had a boss yelling at me. So I’d never been in charge of an organization.

After two years at UCLA, I decided to leave. I was convinced that no amount of education would help a black man get a job.

An unemployed court jester is nobody’s fool.

Find a job you like and you add five days to every week.

Didn’t get promoted? Good. More time to get better.

I want to try something different in Hollywood, to tell the audience I am not just an actor star – I am an actor, too.

I love that I can talk to my fans through Twitter, to cut out the middle man. Because I’ve done interviews where my words have gotten twisted, so it’s nice to be able to have things coming straight from me.

Before finding music, I didn’t have too many aspirations. I wanted to hang out, make a little money from whatever I had to do.

A man may speak very well in the House of Commons, and fail very completely in the House of Lords. There are two distinct styles requisite: I intend, in the course of my career, if I have time, to give a specimen of both.

Later on they send me to Hollywood. To make movies. It was all new to me. I was only 21 years old.

The woman who can create her own job is the woman who will win fame and fortune.

A career is born in public – talent in privacy.
