There’s something boring about people who have to go to an office for a living.

Everyone enjoys doing the kind of work for which he is best suited.

I’m not arrogant enough to look back on my career and criticize my choices. It’s really not my place.

Acting is just a way of making a living, the family is life.

I’m a workin‘ girl.

No decent career was ever founded on a public.

Acting is the perfect idiot’s profession.

I’m not much of a math and science guy. I spent most of my time in school daydreaming and managed to turn it into a living.

You know, there are artists who are 35 and up that still make rap and that still works for them. I don’t know if I want to be that guy.

In my career as a director, there’s always been some point where you get halfway through it, or three-quarters, and you go: ‚What is this thing all about, and why am I telling the story? Does anybody really care about seeing this?‘ At that time you have to say: ‚OK, forget that and just go ahead.‘

It doesn’t matter if you want to be a teacher, an astronaut, or a reggaeton singer, you need to study.

Madonna, I think, is the greatest visual musical artist that we’ve ever had. If you look at her photo log, the photographers that she was able to work with throughout her career framed her in the proper way. It was the proper context. It was that visual that made sure that everything was gonna cut through in a certain way.

The day I think I’m not enjoying the game and contributing the way I would like to, I’ll hang up my boots.

Would I swap what I have achieved as a cook if I could have been as successful as a footballer? Definitely.

I did go to Wellesley, a women’s college. And I am of a kind of strange generation which is transitional in terms of women who wanted to go out and get jobs.

You never get over losses. I’ve never gotten over one loss I’ve had in my career. They always stick with me.

Even before Snapchat, you go back into my career from Day One or interview people that knew me for 25 years, they’re going to tell you I’ve been DJ Khaled my whole life.

The glory of being a carrier pilot has certainly worn off.

Throughout my career, I fed off the fuel of people not being able to understand me.

ESPN is a great organization to work for.

A lot of people have said I’d have probably done better in my career if I hadn’t looked so cheap and gaudy. But I dress to be comfortable for me, and you shouldn’t be blamed because you want to look pretty.

I could do nothing but Brooklyn shows for the rest of my career, and I could die ignorant.

As a comedian, I found this thing, this profession, that suits my mind and life force. To drop it to do something else? I just don’t get that.

You want to play another kind of character in another genre, and it’s been something I’ve been trying to do if I can in the career so far, and it’s something I hope to continue because it’s interesting to me and you get to do different things as an actor.

For somebody who loves foreign policy, being Secretary is the best job in the world – but it doesn’t happen twice.

I started in action, and then I went to comedy school.

Never get married in college; it’s hard to get a start if a prospective employer finds you’ve already made one mistake.

I guess you could say it’s always been my destiny to be a performer.

I knew I’d be in the UFC since I started my career.

‚This guy’s a clown! He’s just all talk!‘ I’ve heard that many times in my career. And then they’re sleeping in the middle of the octagon.

Madonna and I are very different. Just saying. We’re very different. I wouldn’t make that comparison at all, and I don’t mean to disrespect Madonna: she’s a nice lady, and she’s had a fantastic, huge career – biggest pop star of all time.

I love being in a courtroom.

I always thought money was something just to make me happy. But I’ve learned that I feel better being able to help my folks, ‚cause we never had nothing. So just to see them excited about my career is more of a blessing than me actually having it for myself.

The best augury of a man’s success in his profession is that he thinks it the finest in the world.

One element of Madonna’s career that really takes center stage is how many times she’s reinvented herself. It’s easier to stay in one look, one comfort zone, one musical style. It’s inspiring to see someone whose only predictable quality is being unpredictable.

In this knowledge-worker age, it’s now increasingly tied to doing well in school so you can get into better grad schools so you can get better jobs – so the pressure to do well is really high.

To me, the most important artists in my career are Arcangel and Balvin. Arcangel gave me the push, the respect in the streets.

The answer to all writing, to any career for that matter, is love.

Why should I be studying for a future that soon may not exist?

Big pay and little responsibility are circumstances seldom found together.

I was offered a job on Wall Street by my uncle. But I wanted to get out. Make-it-on-my-own kinda thing.

Few men would dare to read their own autobiography if all their deeds were recorded in it; few can look back upon their entire career without a blush.

I absolutely want to have a career where you make’em laugh and make’em cry. It’s all theater.

I feel like whatever you’ve done in your career, good or bad, it’s nothing but preparation for the big events to come.

I think that once you’ve had a few No. 1s in your career that you’ve kind of proven yourself, and I don’t feel the need to prove anything anymore.

Doing music to pay bills is an uncomfortable situation. I never wanted to be in that situation.

If I could have worked from the time I was born until I was 18 and never had to work again, I would have done it.

My work as an artist is completely separate from my work as a philanthropist.

‚Via Dolorosa‘ is the only thing I have ever acted in my life, professionally, and I’ll never act again.

Because my career is so important, I think I make a lot of – I wouldn’t call them sacrifices, but just concessions for my job. I love what I do, and I want to do it for a long time.

I’m first and foremost a writer. I followed my personal legend, my childhood dream of becoming a writer, but I can’t say why I’m one.

I have a lot of friends who do what I do. Either they’re actresses or singers or things like that.

I knew when my career was over. In 1965 my baseball card came out with no picture.

I booked my first studio at like 12 or 13. Somewhere in that season of my life, singing along with the radio became me wanting to be on radio, you know.

I did stand-up, weird and ignorant stuff about my career – anything for a laugh.

Climbing to the top demands strength, whether it is to the top of Mount Everest or to the top of your career.

I probably hold the distinction of being one movie star who, by all laws of logic, should never have made it. At each stage of my career, I lacked the experience.

Throughout my career, I learned plenty about war on the battlefield, but I learned even more about the importance of finding peace. And that is what the State Department and U.S.A.I.D. do: prevent the wars that we can avoid so that we fight only the ones we must.

I’ve enjoyed all the parts of my career.

Had I pursued my education long enough to learn all the conventional dos and don’ts of starting a business, I often wonder how different my life and career might have been.

I left school to concentrate on racing. It was a family decision between my mum, dad and myself.
