I never feel so utterly fraudulent as when I review a movie whose charms impress all in the world and I simply do not get it. The other variant is that I love something the world disdains. This has had severe career consequences: I am still famous - or notorious - in certain quarters where I am recalled as the man who liked 'Hudson Hawk.'
A lot of people are like 'So you want to be famous.' And I'm like 'No I want to be good at my craft. I don't care about fame I don't care if I even ever make it. As long as people know what I am as an actress in this business I'm set for my career right now.'
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.
There are people who appear in the magazines and I don't know who they are. I've never seen anything they've done and their careers are over already. They're famous for maybe 10 minutes. Real careers I think take a long time to unfold.
I've been very very lucky in my career in my life - from day one. When aspiring directors say 'What's your advice?' first I say 'Be born the son of a famous director. It's invaluable.'
I don't go to premieres. I don't go to parties. I don't covet the Oscar. I don't want any of that. I don't go out. I just have dinner at home every night with my kids. Being famous that's a whole other career. And I haven't got any energy for it.
I used to be a classic workaholic and after seeing how little work and career really mean when you reach the end of your life I put a new emphasis on things I believe count more. These things include: family friends being part of a community and appreciating the little joys of the average day.
Make space in your life for the things that matter for family and friends love and generosity fun and joy. Without this you will burn out in mid-career and wonder where your life went.
It never occurred to me that I wouldn't go to college and have a career - as well as a family - of my own. Both my parents but especially my mother encouraged me and led me to believe that it was possible.
AP promoted me to the White House beat because I knew Clinton his family friends and staff better than anybody in the national press corps. Those contacts helped me break a few stories and get my career in Washington jump-started.
Catholic school graduates exhibit a wide variety of qualities that will not only help them in their careers but also in their family and community lives.
My family and I built my whole career from scratch.
Studies have shown that since women have had access to the pill and family planning measures they have made huge gains in both wages and in careers that were dominated by men.
I'm thankful for all the things that this job has given me and my family. But probably the thing that I am most proud of throughout my career is that not only myself but my family and the people around me have just been regular people which we are.
A retired teacher paid $62 000 towards her pension and nothing yes nothing for full family medical dental and vision coverage over her entire career. What will we pay her? $1.4 million in pension benefits and another $215 000 in health care benefit premiums over her lifetime.
I'm healthy have a loving and adorable family great hunting dogs a gravity defying musical career and most importantly fuzzy-headed idiots hate me.
Everything I have my career my success my family I owe to America.
But the problem is that when I go around and speak on campuses I still don't get young men standing up and saying 'How can I combine career and family?'
I have frequently been questioned especially by women of how I could reconcile family life with a scientific career. Well it has not been easy.
I do believe that belief is the most powerful thing we have in this world. So if we believe in something enough. And we have faith we can make it a reality. That is basically the basis of my entire career and my entire life.
In my career as an actor there is a catchphrase that Scofield always says often in regards to his brother 'Have a little faith.' In my own career as an actor there were times when I was the only one who believed in myself in the face of the odds.
I still have a belief and a faith that some great things are still going to happen in my career. If I didn't believe that it makes no sense for me to be out there and on top of that I know this is a period of time that God wants me to persevere through.
Sometimes you learn more from failure than you do from success and in some ways it's better to have failure at the beginning of your career or your life.
My film directorial career has been nothing but repetition of one failure after another!
