I grew up in a place where no one knew anyone in the entertainment business, I never knew it was an actual career.
But I grew up in a place where no one knew anyone in the entertainment business, I never knew it was an actual career. The closest I ever got to movies was going to watch them, and I thought that's the way it would be, so I never considered working in this business.
I wanted to create clothes for women in their 40s and 50s and 60s who have careers and are sexy and dont want to look like grandmothers.
I really pulled from that repertoire that Billie Holiday was singing, and the way she sang it. It's sort of this beautiful, not really midpoint, but a period of her career where she really still had her voice. She had that deep wisdom that we've come to associate her with. To me, that's her at the height of her powers.
I have experienced a tremendous amount of personal and professional growth, and I feel incredibly lucky that I'm able to make a career out of doing the things that I love.
Women now have to put so much attention into their careers, and not many families can pull off a single income.
The problem with me is I always think I should've done better. I felt that after the World Cup final and through my whole career.
When I began my career, I was constantly referred to as the kid who could play the blues.
I don't want to sound arrogant or anything, but I just always knew that my career would be playing music.
For the first time in my career, I'm working in a fine-arts arena, so I'm finally getting some intelligent reviews.
I'm irresponsible to my career in order to paint. Because painting is obsessive. I forget to eat. I forget to sleep.
Literature offers the thrill of minds of great clarity wrestling with the endless problems and delights of being human. To engage with them is to engage with oneself, and the lasting rewards are not confined to specific career paths.
One of the greatest moments of my career was on the road promoting 'Superbad' with Michael Cera and Chris Mintz-Plasse. We were showing the movie at colleges.
Writing is as big a part of my career as acting is, financially and time wise. So, yeah, I love it. That's all I wanted to do since I was young was be a writer. So that and acting are the two most important aspects of my career.
I always say I want to eventually shift my career to directing and writing.
And my career, the things that have happened have happened because of my music education background.
We've had all the ebbs and flows of any real career. Trust me. We've been at the highest highs and pretty low lows. But that said, we always stay true to who we were. We didn't jump on fads and fashions.
I did come to L.A. to try to get on TV and get in front of a camera, so I could have a stage career in New York.
Throughout my career I swam for form. Speed came as a result of it.
Creating emotion was what my career was all about. I wanted people to laugh at me; I wanted people to cry with me. I wanted people to feel good or to think about something when they watched me. I think that's why, even not being an Olympic champion, I have such a huge following around the world.
I had a good career. I've been very fortunate.
There are plenty of guys who played great golf, had great careers and only won a few majors.
Earlier in my career, fans weren't a big consideration for me.
A lot of stand-up comedy guys, when they get a little famous, just give up their stand-up career, and it cancels out the thing that set them apart.
