Everything I’ve done in my career is a result of growing up in rural Oklahoma, because if I hadn’t had the training from Mama and Daddy to work hard, to do what I’m told, to take directions, to mind and to do a good job at anything I set out to do, then I wouldn’t be where I am today.

I was a late bloomer, but I had a career as a contemporary dancer before that, so I had some kind of connection to this world.

Injury in general teaches you to appreciate every moment. I’ve had my share of injuries throughout my career. It’s humbling. It gives you perspective. No matter how many times I’ve been hurt, I’ve learned from that injury and come back even more humble.

84

101

124

133
134
135
136
I guess my music career is my personal life. You know, I’ve always been a writer who wants to write about my experiences. And so this experience being added to that, I – I want to live extraordinary experiences. And when I give advice to people, I want it to be sage advice.

152
153
154
I really want to pop the crowd. I want to show off. That is the one thing that I’ve always loved about my career is I just want to show off. I always hated the storylines.

157
158
159
I had a stormy graduate career, where every week we would have a shouting match. I kept doing deals where I would say, ‘Okay, let me do neural nets for another six months, and I will prove to you they work.’ At the end of the six months, I would say, ‘Yeah, but I am almost there. Give me another six months.’
160
It’s just the risk that I take and the sacrifice that I make: Putting myself, my career, my family’s peace of mind on the line just to do right by my fans. It ain’t no gray area: You’re either with that and willing to go out of your way to make people who contribute to your dreams coming true happy or you aren’t.
161

172
173
Knowing that I was potentially going to be the first black Bachelorette actually held me back from wanting to do it. With the first, there’s always so much pressure.

I’m not dating anyone until I get my career where I want it to be.

185
The problem with me is I always think I should’ve done better. I felt that after the World Cup final and through my whole career.
186
I was 18 years old, and it was a dream come true for me to work out and eat great food for free. What else do you want in life? People think that is what it is like to be in a SEAL team, but it is less than a fraction of your career as a real SEAL.
187
When I began my political career, I identified with Malcolm X.
188
I made the difficult decision to retire because a campaign of bullying, intimidation and retaliation by President Trump and his allies forever limited the progression of my military career.

192

193
I told myself that I wanted to be a motivational speaker, I wanted to write a book, graduate college, have my own family, and have my own career.

196
197
198
I would say to always follow your dream. And dream big because my whole career, including any of the things that I’ve accomplished, I never thought in a million years that I would be here. So it just proves that once you believe in yourself, and you put your mind to something, you can do it.
199
200
It’s very rare that you can be in a career for as long as I have and still feel like you’re constantly learning and coming at it from an almost childlike perspective.
201
In the day-to-day, farm work is stress relief for me. At the end of the day, I love having this other career – my anti-job – that keeps me in shape and gives me control over a vegetal domain.
202
203
204
I had struggles throughout my career. I had some tough times.
205

211
212
213
214
Imagine choosing a job not on money or even on career advancement, but as part of a life worth living.
215
You have to think of your career the way you look at the ocean, deciding which wave you’re gonna take and which waves you’re not gonna take. Some of the waves are going to be big, some are gonna be small, sometimes the sea is going to be calm. Your career is not going to be one steady march upward to glory.
216
217
218
Taking the time to read to children is not only a worthwhile investment but also a wonderful experience. I have visited 119 schools in Maine, and these visits are among the most rewarding experiences in my career in public service.
219
220
221
222
223
I have never experienced any nepotism or groupism in my career.
224
What I learned from architectural drafting is that everything has to have a plan to work. You just can’t wing it. I can’t get all the materials I need for a house and just start building. Whether it’s a career, family, life – you have to plan it out.
225
I don’t see myself as a full-time broadcaster. I’ve done some of it, and I enjoy it, but I don’t think I should try to make a career out of it.
226
227
I absolutely want to have a career where you make’em laugh and make’em cry. It’s all theater.
228
‘The English Patient’ was a huge turning point in my career and my life; it became this huge thing. But the whole Oscar build-up got completely out of control; I spent more time talking about that film than I spent making it!
229
Fortunately, I grew up in a family that was grounded. My mother and father knew how to guide my career and look out for my best interests.
230
You want to play another kind of character in another genre, and it’s been something I’ve been trying to do if I can in the career so far, and it’s something I hope to continue because it’s interesting to me and you get to do different things as an actor.
231
232
I’ve been sober now for a couple of years and I’m taking my sobriety very seriously – one day at a time and I am moving forward in my career.
233
I realised quite early on that, although I wasn’t trying to make a career speciality of it, I was playing slightly asexual, sociopathic intellectuals.
234
Real estate investing is unique in that it’s almost as much a career or a way of life as it is a form of investing. Indeed, the fact that real estate is involves so much sweat equity makes it unique among other investments.
235
I’ve been lucky enough to have fulfilled so many ambitions, and gone way past anything I ever thought I would do. I could never have imagined the career that I’ve had with the Foo Fighters – playing stadiums and having songs on the radio. It’s amazing, and my goal is really just to carry on playing.
236
237
238
239
The goal for me is always to have the opportunity to work in different genres. This is a great and exciting time in my career, where I can have the opportunity to work in different genres, and also I recognize there’s not a lot of actors who have that opportunity and I’m grateful for it.
240
I don’t pay much attention to career or what other people think. I’ve always been quite arrogant.
241
242
243

When I got pregnant, I had to concentrate on being pregnant for a whole nine months, even though I knew it was ruining my career at the time.

257
258
259
260
261
262
I haven’t spent my entire career playing the guy in the bad hat, although I have to say that the bad guy is frequently much more interesting than the good guy.
263
At the age of 16, I ran from my house, did odd jobs till l landed work on television and then in film industry. My first job was at an STD booth in Delhi. Then I came to Mumbai, where I distributed DVDs, and that is when I got my first TV show offer, ‘Left Right Left.’ I have never planned things in my career.
264
I would put down everything in my career to the fact that I cared – about what I do, who I work with, what I make.
265
It’s like Forrest Gump said, ‘Life is like a box of chocolates.’ Your career is like a box of chocolates – you never know what you’re going to get. But everything you get is going to teach you something along the way and make you the person you are today. That’s the exciting part – it’s an adventure in itself.
266
I could do John Wayne, Jack Benny, Jack Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson and entertain my friends. But I never seriously considered it as a career choice.
267
I don’t plan or schedule my career thinking first I will play a common man, then a police officer, then a superhero. I love good scripts, and I don’t care if I play the main part in it or not. I want to be a part of good films. That’s my dream… ‘Jacobinte Swargarajyam’ was that film for me.
268
269
One of my earlier films is ‘Quigley Down Under.’ That was early on in my career, and that was horsey.
270
271
272
273
274

I have had a career in public service.
282

283
284
285
286
287
Knowledge is power. You can’t begin a career, for that matter even a relationship, unless you know everything there is to know about it.
288
289
290
I didn’t have accessories when I started my career. Did you see me wearing bling-bling when I did ‘Hola at Your Boi?’ No! I hustled to get money to buy them, and there is no crime if I show it or flaunt it to my fans because they gave me money to buy them.
291
I have spent my entire career in vaccine development, in the government with CDC and BARDA and also in the biotechnology industry.
292
293
294
I think I had a kind of pause for insight in my 20s when I wasn’t in a relationship and my career wasn’t going the way I wanted it to go. I had time for reflection then.

297
298
299
300
I’m showing the younger generation your career doesn’t have to be over when you’re 16-years-old.
301
I don’t want other people to decide who I am. I want to decide that for myself. I want to avoid becoming too styled and too ‘done’ and too generic. You see people as they go through their career, and they just become more and more like everyone else.
302
I wanted to end my career as a pro coach and if possible, in Florida.
303
My career and my stats, they all speak for itself so to say that I’ve got anything to prove to people, to say ‘well, look, I can play, I’m not just a big guy,’ that really is not my driving force in life.
304
305
That’s the joy of retirement – you’re not trying to develop a career any more.
306
307
It’s either feast or famine, and that’s the way it’s been for as long as I can remember. I’ve spent my whole career thinking I’ll never work again. Every actor lives with that insecurity. You just have to negotiate the rapids as they come.
308
I do not take to the field to defend myself from certain criticisms. If I do, in this kind of career, it is because I’m very self-critical.
309
If there is one thing that all players have in common it is that winning, competitive gene; the ability to overcome obstacles and fight for what you want from your career.
310
I had to go to Hollywood to recharge my career.
311
312
313
314
I can see why people change. You get complimented all the time, driven around in a black SUV – your life is crazy. But that’s your career, not you.
315
In my career, there’s many things I’ve won and many things I’ve achieved, but for me, my greatest achievement is my children and my family. It’s about being a good father, a good husband, just being connected to family as much as possible.
316
317
My parents never really understood my choice of career.
318
319
What decisions would you make differently today if you knew you would most likely live to be 150? How would you think about your 50s or 60s? How would you evaluate your career arcs or investments or even the area in which you live?
320
321
I guess because the shows were activist in their own way – the marriage of my public activism and my career activism, you know – people understand me very well. They also understand there’s a very strong bipartisan part in all of this.
322
I have no difficulty with career duality!
323
324
I realize how fortunate I am to have been able to make a life and career out of skiing.
325
Reflecting back on my career, I was not a talented athlete at all. I had no competitiveness naturally, and was full of anxiety and panic all the time – something that’s certainly not needed for shooting.
326
As long as I’m able to actually maintain a career where I can write full-time, I’ll be thrilled.
327
328
If someone called and the role was good and there was dignity and integrity in the piece, I’d be up for it, of course I would. It’s so hard for older women in acting so when you hear of an older woman having a renaissance in their career, I really applaud it.
329
At 20, I realized that I could not possibly adjust to a feminine role as conceived by my father and asked him permission to engage in a professional career. In eight months I filled my gaps in Latin, Greek and mathematics, graduated from high school, and entered medical school in Turin.
330
I’ve spent my entire career in semiconductors.
331
It is capitalist America that produced the modern independent woman. Never in history have women had more freedom of choice in regard to dress, behavior, career, and sexual orientation.
332
It is my hope that I will grow as an actor through the first sageuk of my career.
333
I’m going to college. I don’t care if it ruins my career. I’d rather be smart than a movie star.
334
I consider my girls the greatest gift from God in life. And I also love the career that I have built, lost and rebuilt. But the highs and lows of my career would not have been as exciting or manageable to me if I didn’t have children and a partner for life with whom to share it all.
335
336
337
338
339
You see, rock and roll isn’t a career or hobby – it’s a life force. It’s something very essential.
340
When you step foot into your first professional tournament, everything you’ve done in your amateur career really doesn’t matter any more.
341
I never had had a large group of friends, so I often felt a little out of place and like I was in a different mindset from everyone else around me because I was so focused on my acting career.
342
I would love to have a varied career, like Hugh Jackman. He started in musical theater, then established himself in film, but he still does a lot of stage work. And he does it all beautifully.
343
344
Working with limited resources is an excellent way to hone skills that will serve you well for the rest of your career. You will prioritize profitability from the start.
345
I want to take a more international direction with my career.
346
You just do the roles that you want to do and that you’re lucky enough to get cast in, and then eventually you have that career. I feel like you can’t control it; it just happens organically.
347
Well, I’ve thought many times when my career was in the toilet, that I was going to have to seriously consider getting another job, I don’t know what I’d do.
348
The best way to advance in a career is to get great results while working with people.
349
The high point of my career was winning the Champions League. No one will ever erase that from my memory, in the same way that no one will ever erase the fact that I did it in a Manchester United shirt.
350
I would love to be able to pursue music as a career but honestly, I’m just not good enough.
351
Price doesn’t make deals, and salary doesn’t control your career.
352
I became convinced that the whole essence of the computer revolution is interactivity. That was very early in my career. At the time I did that it was heresy.
353
354
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.
355
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.
356
357
358
I’m not arrogant enough to look back on my career and criticize my choices. It’s really not my place.
359
Happiness doesn’t come from being rich, nor merely from being successful in your career, nor by self-indulgence. One step towards happiness is to make yourself healthy and strong while you are a boy so that you can be useful and so you can enjoy life when you are a man.
360
361
Comedians tend to find a comfort zone and stay there and do lamer versions of themselves for the rest of their career.
362
363
364
365
People are afraid of things they don’t understand. They don’t know how to relate. It threatens their security, their existence, their career, image.
366
I’m not sure if career can be planned.
367
I knew I wanted to do music, but leaving such a successful career one would think I’d kind of shot myself in the foot. I knew I made the right decision, and at the end of the day it’s up to me to get where I want to go, but it’s a lot to take on.
368
I was a child with an insatiable thirst for knowledge and remember enjoying all of my courses almost equally. When it came time at the end of my high school career to choose a major in which to specialize, I was in a quandary.
369
I’m proud that I’ve even had a career, but ‘proud’ isn’t the first word I’d use. I feel lucky that I moved to Manchester when I was 12 because I don’t think I could have done this in Ireland. And I feel lucky that the government took care of me from the age of 16 to when I signed my first record deal at 19.
370
371
372
At the beginning of my career as a writer, I felt I knew nothing of Chinese culture. I was writing about emotional confusion with my mother related to our different beliefs. Hers was based in family history, which I didn’t know anything about. I always felt hesitant in talking about Chinese culture and American culture.
373
In a way, I’ve made a career out of sweat equity, and I’ve enjoyed sharing what I’ve learned in the process. It’s a great feeling to educate people on how to get into their first or fifth home in the most economical way possible.
374
The years in Boston were the best of my career, and they mean more to me than anything. Winning on that stage was incomparable to anything else. That’s the way I choose to look at it.
375
For the moment, I haven’t ended my career. I’m young. There are still a lot of goals.
376
Even though we have laws against it and HR departments to handle it, a woman – especially if she is young and just starting out – can never be sure that reporting harassment won’t hurt her career.
377
378
379
As an artist, you have to work hard for things that you can’t really hold in your hand. I work not for money but for my career, to expand myself as an artist. Every video I make, it’s not making me any money; it’s just because I want to expand.
380
This was more than just a cow – this was an entire career I was looking at.
381
I’ve yet to be on a campus where most women weren’t worrying about some aspect of combining marriage, children, and a career. I’ve yet to find one where many men were worrying about the same thing.
382
383
There was an interesting article in Los Angeles Magazine about women directors. A woman director makes one bad independent film and her career is over. Guys tend to get an opportunity to learn from their mistakes.
384
385
386
Atletico know I have a special feeling for the team. I lived the best moment of my career there.
387
The minute you decide to do what you love to do, you have made a life plan for yourself and a career choice.
388
No one’s just going to hand you a career. I waited for years for someone to hand me one and it never happened.
389
390
Uncle Jack Charles and his mob, I wouldn’t have a career if it wasn’t for their persistence. They worked hard at a time when no one took them seriously and no one even considered indigenous roles as a mainstream option.
391
392
393
It’s not about my career now. It’s just about finding great work and having a good time.
394
My career is an open book, but my life is not.
395
396
I felt like the luckiest kid in the world. And I was. I was growing up middle-class in a time when growing up middle-class in America meant there would be jobs for my parents, good schools for me to prepare myself for a career, and, if I worked hard and played by the rules, a chance for me to do anything I wanted.
397
398
399
Harvard‘s Kennedy School of Government asked me to serve as a fellow at its Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics, and Public Policy. After my varied and celebrated career in television, movies, publishing, and the lucrative world of corporate speaking, being a fellow at Harvard seemed, frankly, like a step down.
400
401
Bill Goldberg kicked me in the head and ended my career because he didn’t know what he was doing.
402
My mother has been very instrumental in shaping up my career. Whatever I am today is because of her. Because I didn’t have a father, she played both the roles of a mother and a father in my life.
403
404
I mean, people need to remember without the grassroots, Ronald Reagan probably doesn’t become president of the United States of America and he worked the grassroots on a regular basis during his political career and especially between the years of 1976 and 1980 after the loss in Kansas City.
405
406
407
I didn’t realize it. It looks like my career happened overnight, but it didn’t. I was basically living on my own from when I was 17 on.
408
409
A career in sport is almost impossible to manage without the support, and guidance, and reassurance of family and friends. During tough times, and there always are, this is whom we go to.
410
411
I don’t understand how some of these young actresses are wearing such provocative, editorial items, when they haven’t even established a career yet. It’s hard to see past that. I’m not so sure that’s smart in the long run.
412
God flourished my ministry and my career of creative thinking, communicating and writing back 50 years.
413
414
415
My younger sister retired a few years ago after a 30-year career teaching history and social studies at an inner-city high school.
416
417
418
I don’t think I’m misunderstood, but there is definitely a certain side of me that the press focuses on – my body, my hair, or who I’m dating – which has never really served me as an actor. It’s served me in the commercial world, making money as a model, but the media perception has really hindered my acting career.
419
The fact I’m blind has been a great help to my career. If I’d been sighted I’d have played baseball and got into trouble like all other kids on my block.
420
I think there’s no sacrifice too great for family, whether it’s career, singing, whatever.
421
422
Infected by political ideology, if you dare question climate models, your career is done.
423
On a 1 to 10 scale, I don’t think that I could model, but I could definitely end a Republican senator‘s career.
424
425
The opportunity to be a part of the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games in Rio is a huge milestone in my career, and it will be the biggest performance of my life.
426
427
In my career as a director, there’s always been some point where you get halfway through it, or three-quarters, and you go: ‘What is this thing all about, and why am I telling the story? Does anybody really care about seeing this?’ At that time you have to say: ‘OK, forget that and just go ahead.’
428
I hate being looked at. Can’t stand it. I know, I know – I picked the wrong career. I should have been a doctor. If you play certain parts you have this nice face painted on you, and then you have feel as if you have a responsibility to this idea of being beautiful. I hate that about our business.
429
‘Fruitvale’ set the bar for what I wanted to do with my career, which was to make films that had consciousness and messaging in an entertaining package. Once I hit that mark, I never wanted to go back.
430
They gave me my career. Coach O and LSU resurrected my career and made me what I am today.
