The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without work.
He who seeks rest finds boredom. He who seeks work finds rest.
For me, real life is hard work. Making movies is like a vacation for my soul.
I think it's important for an actor to see the work they've done because every time you revisit a work you come up with a new way of improving it. It's a good way to brush up your craft and your skills, so I think it's a good thing to do, keep seeing your films.
My message, especially to young people is to have courage to think differently, courage to invent, to travel the unexplored path, courage to discover the impossible and to conquer the problems and succeed. These are great qualities that they must work towards. This is my message to the young people.
I am very proud of my mom and consider her the most courageous woman I know. With perseverance, sacrifice and hard work, she raised a family of Olympic athletes and gave us the tools and the spirit to succeed. That is something that my brothers and I will always be thankful for.
I try to not work too many Sundays. At least on Sunday nights, I try to chill out a little bit. I call it Sunday Funday.
Midwestern people stick together. Gee willikers, they work hard. There's no glitz, no glamour. When I was a girl in Duluth, Minnesota, I used to get up early and milk cows, so I know what hard work is.
If you work just for money, you'll never make it, but if you love what you're doing and you always put the customer first, success will be yours.
When your hobbies get in the way of your work — that's OK; but when your hobbies get in the way of themselves... well.
I know of no single formula for success. But over the years I have observed that some attributes of leadership are universal and are often about finding ways of encouraging people to combine their efforts, their talents, their insights, their enthusiasm and their inspiration to work together.
Child slavery is a crime against humanity. Humanity itself is at stake here. A lot of work still remains, but I will see the end of child labor in my lifetime.
The things that have always been important: to be a good man, to try to live my life the way God would have me, to turn it over to Him that His will might be worked in my life, to do my work without looking back, to give it all I've got, and to take pride in my work as an honest performer.
To a billion people around the world surviving on just a dollar a day, the question of what to eat tonight is more about life and death than about recipes. The struggle of poor people around the globe weighs heavily on me, especially now that I am a mother, which is why I work with Oxfam.
Having a baby on my own is a dream come true, but in my world, there's no sheepish spouse on his way home from a work trip to offer me a stretch of alone time.
Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.
Work harder on yourself than you do on your job.
I wasn't born a fool. It took work to get this way.
If you want small changes in your life, work on your attitude. But if you want big and primary changes, work on your paradigm.
For a long time, I thought it was all down to dedication, hard work, and visualising doing well — that worked for a bit, but then it stopped. I've realised you have to be more practical and mature to make things actually happen.
