I think I've been incredibly raw my whole career. A lot of people spend a lot of time trying to look cool and spend time being guarded and putting up walls. I just never had the time. It seems more honest to say 'Hey this is who I am.'

I have no control over people's perceptions of me at all and that's one of the things I decided very early on is that I can't control the way other people think of me. All I can do especially when it comes to my career is go out there and do cool unique kinds of things.

I wanted to escape Small Town U.S.A. To dismiss the boundaries to explore. My life experience came from watching movies TV and reading books and magazines. When your culture comes from watching TV everyday you're bombarded with images of things that seem cool places that seem interesting people who have jobs and careers and opportunities.

I think it's really cool how J. Lo's been able to balance an acting career and a music career. That's something I strive for.

Our career is a dream. I mean we get to act travel around the world and meet cool people. What's not to love!

There's been a lot of really cool stuff that's happened to me throughout my career and I remember everything but I don't think I savored every moment of it like I should have or like I do now.

I'm trying to mix the cool independent stuff with the big stuff but it's been difficult finding the right roles. It's been an interesting ride as far as my career pendulum is concerned.

Communication - the human connection - is the key to personal and career success.

I always get bored with my hair. That's why I would always change it throughout my career.

In politics there are some candidates who use change to promote their careers and then there are those like John McCain who use their careers to promote change.

Like all soul singers I grew up singing in church but sometimes I would leave early and sit in the car listening to gospel band The Blind Boys of Alabama. Hearing their lead singer Clarence made me connect the idea of church and show business and see how I could make a career singing music that stirred the soul.

Some people say it might be good for your career to die and then come back again. I have died many ways car crashes motorcycle crashes etc. But I am still alive.

I learned from Mr. Wrigley early in my career that loyalty wins and it creates friendships. I saw it work for him in his business.

Some people want fame popularity and huge sales. I've always hoped to have a really long career. So I've tried to make each of my creative decisions and business decisions to allow for longevity. As a side effect I got really famous and really big. I didn't realize the two could go together.

The career stuff is for business people.

I got to work with one of my heroes Johnny Depp and to see how he goes about business which was really inspiring for me at this stage in my career.

I've got a wife four kids a business and a baseball career.

Everything is tennis for me it's my career and it's entertainment but it's also a business.

I am just at that stage of wondering where I go from here. I came into this business almost by accident but now it has become serious. What started as a bit of fun something to do other than be a model has taken on a different career curve. I have been forced to ask where that curve is going to end up.

You have a career and you start as a business person. And you work your way you reach this peak and you know the time's going to come when you go back down.

The word career is a divisive word. It's a word that divides the normal life from business or professional life.

I want to go out at the top but the secret is knowing when you're at the top it's so difficult in this business your career fluctuates all the time up and down like a pair of trousers.

Had anyone told me that I was going to have a career in business I would have said 'No way.'

When I started the business I hardly went home. I became very driven about work and about my career.
