I want to give people jobs and put them on great shows. I want to create careers for people.
I remember my mom had a conversation with Sam Jackson about what she should do with our careers and what the next step should be; I was eight and my brother was nine. He said, "You need to get them on Broadway."
You need those people to also have power and authority, and in a way that has been the story of my career.
Hopefully, at the end of my career, I can look back and say, 'Wow, what a game it was in Game 3 in 2011'.
In the beginning of any career, in every job, people are always forcing you to the middle.
I would rather have come to Baltimore than the Yankees. You look at their situation, they're the kingpin and you want to be that underdog that knocks them off the top. That's pretty much the situation I've been in my whole career. It just makes for a better season when you knock the big guys off the top.
I happen to be lucky in that I knew what I wanted to do as far as a career since I was nine years old.
From my experience, I think that every actor has to make sure that they're in charge of their own career somehow or other.
Way back in the day, when I first started and had delusions of adequacy as a cartoonist, I would listen to music. When I switched to a career as a writer, I would try to listen to music, but if the songs had lyrics they would get in the way of the words I was trying to write. So I switched to listening to purely instrumental pieces.
Judged by the stark, sure-footed portrait in Hard Time, Brian Azzarello and Richard Corben clearly have John Constantine down, cold and to the life. Azzarellos grasp of pacing, character and situation resonates through every scene with a black crystal clarity thats short of masterful, while Corben contributes what is, perhaps, one of the most darkly expressive pieces in a long, already-legendary career.
The money we spend on education should follow the choice of the parents, not the choice of educrats, bureaucrats, politicians, who, unfortunately, have been manipulating this process in their own career interests, not in the interests of our young people.
People dont realize that we cannot forecast the future. What we can do is have probabilities of what causes what, but thats as far as we go. And Ive had a very successful career as a forecaster, starting in 1948 forward. The number of mistakes I have made are just awesome. There is no number large enough to account for that.
People will pay me to feel the passion and energy I breathe into my career and creations.
During a long career in TV broadcasting, I spent a lot of time contributing to other people's creations.
I'm used to American actors who have a movie career thinking television acting is beneath them.
So in fact the only thing you can judge in this sport its the longterm. You can judge a career or a season, but not one race.
One of the hardest things I've had to deal with in my career is keeping my material topical even though I only release albums every three or four years.
When I was a kid, I thought I was going to be an architect, because when I was 12 years old I had a guidance counselor that convinced me that that was the best career choice for me.
The irony is of course that my career has lasted a whole lot longer than some of the people I've parodied over the years.
At this point in my career, I don't have to deal with audition rejections. So I get my rejection from other things. My children can make me feel rejected. They can humble you pretty quick.
I’ve always been in the theater. I’ve always gone to it. That’s been my way to cope. Early on in my career, I remember running - fleeing - to the theater as a way of coping with all the meshugaas that was going on for me.
My early career was a real rush of movies and stardom - it was almost overwhelming.
I really do see it as the start of the second half of my career.
My parents didn't make a lot of money. My dad was not a high school graduate - he didn't have a career as such; he was a printing salesman essentially for most of his working life.
I've spent my entire career being a satirist.
