Work
(page 3)
I am always trying to improve and see my weakness and work on it.
Musicians can run this state better than politicians. We won't get a lot done in the mornings, but we'll work late and be honest.
You have to fight to reach your dream. You have to sacrifice and work hard for it.
'In Search of Excellence' — even the title — is a reminder that business isn't dry, dreary, boring, or by the numbers. Life at work can be cool — and work that's cool isn't confined to Tiger Woods, Yo-Yo Ma, or Tom Hanks. It's available to all of us and any of us.
The top athletes are consummate pros who work obsessively at their craft. Approach yours the same way.
A lot of people have their big dreams and get knocked down and don't have things go their way. And you never give up hope, and you really just hold on to it. Hard work and perserverance. You just keep getting up and getting up, and then you get that breakthrough.
The world is full of willing people; some willing to work, the rest willing to let them.
I think the success of my work stems from being truthful.
Hard work without talent is a shame, but talent without hard work is a tragedy.
If you're stressed at work, or before a competition, or if you need to be energized, or relaxed, there's so many scents that kind of take you there.
Don't let yourself get stuck without a healthy snack option. If you allow yourself to get famished at work, you're going to be more likely to get your snack from the vending machine, and when was the last time you saw something fresh and healthy in one of those?
My parents instilled a really good work ethic from when I was little — if you want to have money to spend on holidays, you earn it. So I've always been someone who wanted to be able to survive by myself, but I think you have to let down the barriers a little bit — let other people in.
If you watch a game, it's fun. If you play it, it's recreation. If you work at it, it's golf.
Being a boss takes guts and tenacity. Being a boss takes hustle and strength. Getting to the level of boss takes hard work — often times, harder than our male counterpoint because in many industries, we're fighting our way into a boys' club.
Formula for success: rise early, work hard, strike oil.
When nature has work to be done, she creates a genius to do it.
Like any other actor, I want to work with good directors, and I always look for good scripts. I've had to say no to some people; I suspect that's the reason I'm called arrogant.
Most of my training at graduate school was geared towards drama, so I feel good about it, and I can do it, but it requires a lot more work from me. I feel like with drama... well, with all acting, really, you need to honor the truth of the situation.
My work is better, maybe all filmmakers are better, for Polanski's imprint on cinema. He created language for all of us to use, there is no question about that.
I've been so lucky to work with such great people: people that are such hard workers and have such a respect and appreciation for one another.
