A lot of times in this business, we are taking advantage of hot times in our career to do a lot of TV and a lot of radio and that sort of thing, and George is able to be so humble that he can get away with not doing those things.
We have never seen a career like George Strait's in this business, and I venture to say we never will again. He has handled things amazingly well.
So when my film career took off, I always felt like I was trying to play catch-up because I hadn't studied acting before. I didn't know how to manage money or my career. When I look back, I think I was a little bit shell-shocked.
I read a lot by female psychoanalyst Lou Andreas-Salomé, who wrote prominent biographies of Nietzsche, Rilke, and Freud because she studied with all of them. She had this unbelievable insight into contemporary psychoanalysis. What is so interesting is that she wrote her life, and she knew that her life would be about these men, and it didn't stop her from leading an incredibly successful academic career. But her strange self-awareness that she was going to bookmark these men's lives is really interesting to me.
I'm happy with my career but I could have been happier if I could have been treated like a champion should have been treated because management and fighters take advantage of fighters.
Fortunately, I grew up in a family that was grounded. My mother and father knew how to guide my career and look out for my best interests.
It gave me a chance to re-evaluate my life and my career. Cancer certainly gives things a new perspective. I would not have won the Tour de France if I had not had cancer. It gave me new strength and focus.

I got my career started late so, even though I'm getting older, I don't have as much wear and tear on my arm. I feel good. I really do.
If it hadn't been for the videocassette, I may not have had a career at all.
I suppose there are a lot of people who'd kill to have my career, but I still feel like a fan.
It's very hard having a career in different continents and two different languages.
I really don't think about my career, in terms of planning it out and what any role does for me.
And I didn't. That's why my career was very short-lived.
Having designed and built several clocks during my career it suddenly occurred to me that when you look at the face of a clock both hands have the same center.
You have to be desirable. And that's why so many woman of my age or even younger are pushed to Botox and plastic surgery, all the things that people say, 'Why do women do this?' Where do you go in your 50s in your career?
I certainly am one of those people who is incredibly privileged to have an art career, which happened out of luck. Then luck kept happening. Besides that, things just move along in their own weird way.
Everything I've done in my career has started in and around Detroit, you know, the metro area and Michigan.
A lot of blood, sweat, and tears have gone into this career of mine.
The balancing act of motherhood and a career, and being a wife, is something that I don't think I'll ever perfect, but I love the challenge of it.
Our task is to educate our children's whole being so they can face the future and make something of it. To achieve this we need to balance education for careers with education for twenty-first century life.
In my political career, I'd like to see a constitutional balanced budget amendment.
My whole career is based on taking a left turn after each film and doing the opposite of what I've just done.
If I was to model after someone's career, I would want to model after Justin Timberlake's career.
