Work Quotes
-
I'm a little bit of an eternal optimist. People always say to me, 'If you go do this and it fails, what are you going to do?' I don't care. I'm going to give it my best shot. That's what I'm going to do. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. And I'll try again.
Jamie Dimon
-
One of the big struggles for an actor is sometimes you have to take work that you don't necessarily want to do so you can pay rent.
James Marsden
-
I believe no amount of business school training or work experience can teach what is ultimately a matter of personal character. Businesses are not dishonest or greedy, people are. Thus, a business, successful or not, is merely a reflection of the character of its leadership.
S. Truett Cathy
-
I was able to go on stage and work until it felt right or felt good. It meant that I very quickly realised that it was the job for me.
Chiwetel Ejiofor

If I just wear something because I feel like myself and I'm comfortable, that's okay - and that goes even for more edgy things. But if I try too much, or if I even try, it doesn't work. It doesn't feel natural, and I feel very uncomfortable.
Marion Cotillard
-
If you think of play as being in things, there are things that are playable, then it becomes the work of figuring out what a thing can do.
Ian Bogost
-
The state sometimes makes mistakes. When one of these mistakes occurs, a decline in collective enthusiasm is reflected by a resulting quantitative decrease of the contribution of each individual, each of the elements forming the whole of the masses. Work is so paralysed that insignificant quantities are produced. It is time to make a correction.
Che Guevara
-
I'm blessed to be able to work at something that I'm good at, and that I love. It's not something I take for granted.
Emmylou Harris
-
I like cooking, but I don't think I could be a chef. Everyone from the ground up does terrible hours, whether you've just walked in off the street and you've got no experience, to whether you're the head chef. You can work 14 or 15-hour days. It's really, really intense.
James McAvoy
-
Many hooligans discover to their shame that they have scruples; they have roots and, greatest disadvantage of all, they have hope. The fathers superior of the order do not try to influence their children in Satan; they merely shake their heads in sorrow. They know that the apostate must work out his own damnation.
Quentin Crisp
-
And I just want to work with good directors and good people.
Charlie Hunnam
-
I'd be lying if I said Hollywood wasn't still an ambition; it's everyone's, isn't it? You're getting paid very well, you're working with great actors and great directors - who wouldn't want to be a part of that? But it's not going to break my heart if it doesn't happen. This business is about doing good work rather than how famous it makes you.
Max Beesley
Incognito
-
If you can get some of the devil's money to use for the Lord's work, if you have to borrow it, it is all right and carry on the work.
John Harvey Kellogg
-
Which is - you know, like check it out, I'm pretty young, I'm only about 40 years old. I still have maybe another four decades of work left in me. And it's exceedingly likely that anything I write from this point forward is going to be judged by the world as the work that came after the freakish success of my last book, right?
Elizabeth Gilbert
-
You can't just set the vision, take a nap, and not keep working on making your vision happen. Your intention has to be backed by work.
Luvvie Ajayi

You know, my Grandpop Finnegan used to have an expression: he used to say, 'Joey, the guy in Olyphant's out of work, it's an economic slowdown. When your brother-in-law's out of work, it's a recession. When you're out of work, it's a depression.'
Joe Biden
