People assume that all artists make for terrible business people but I'm in complete charge of my own career.

The business aspect is one of the most important things about having a music career because every choice you make in a management meeting affects your life a year-and-a-half from now.

If the career you have chosen has some unexpected inconvenience console yourself by reflecting that no career is without them.

Do more than is required. What is the distance between someone who achieves their goals consistently and those who spend their lives and careers merely following? The extra mile.

I wasn't very good about juggling family and my career. I was interested in who was coming to the children's birthday party what my son was writing. I was thinking about Legos.

I was fired at the pinnacle of my career on my 39th birthday. And in the year that followed I learned that there are many psychological phases of being 'let go.'

What is the recipe for successful achievement? To my mind there are just four essential ingredients: Choose a career you love give it the best there is in you seize your opportunities and be a member of the team.

Literature boils with the madcap careers of writers brought to the edge by the demands of living on their nerves wringing out their memories and their nightmares to extract meaning truth beauty.

In all my career in my ups and downs I've never had a beauty campaign. This was meaningful that at almost 41 years old I could be getting my first beauty campaign. It made me feel really great.

I have a desire to create more film more beauty more art more love but I don't feel desperate. It's not about creating or building a career.

When I first left university I thought about going into the private sector. But I discovered when I went to interview that I could only have a career in the back office or doing HR. The attitude was 'My dear lady you cannot possibly think about going on the board.'

As the time goes by you change your learn new things your attitude is different. For the moment I'm still enjoying ski racing so much that it would be difficult for me to think about ending my career.

I have played on many teams throughout my career and I know when a team has the tools and the right positive attitude towards winning.

Because most of my career in the classroom has been at art schools (beginning at Bennington in the 1970s) I am hyper-aware of the often grotesque disconnect between commentary on the arts and the actual practice or production of the arts.

I had a lot of anger inside me and that came out at times that were not particularly advantageous to me career-wise.

Steven Tyler is awesome. He is so humble. He's really sweet and coming from him and his career it's amazing.

I want to buy my mom a house I want my family to never have to worry about anything. And I just want to have an amazing career in music because I love to do it.

My heroes are guys like Tom Hanks Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon. These are amazing actors with amazing careers that every actor should aspire to. I'm not saying I'm going to get anywhere close. It's not going to be an easy feat. I'm just in awe of their careers.

'10' was amazing! I had no career before '10' and then all of a sudden I was able to do pretty much whatever I was able to do in the business.

I think this is the biggest win in my career. To beat Venus in Wimbledon is just something amazing.

Well it was the beginning of my film career. It was amazing to me that I got nominated for an Academy Award.

My dream career would be to be in things that have real heart and are telling real stories but while doing that you're getting really big laughs. I don't necessarily love the straight crazy comedies. 'Caddyshack' is amazing but there's not a lot of new 'Caddyshack's.

Montana and I had a chemistry that was unbelievable. When I first came into the league he told me I added five years to his career and I just think we complimented each other very well and were able to do some amazing things out on the football field.

It's been amazing how this crazy career has been created. I feel that it's been given to me. I wouldn't be anywhere without Victoria's Secret.
