I have three daughters, so I can’t be as tough as I want to be. When you have kids – especially daughters – they know how to work you. They’re a lot smarter than we are, that’s for sure. But I’ll be more tough on their boyfriends. – Tim McGraw
I never really had any grand aspirations of mainstream country success because I know what that entails, and I’d probably be too much trouble for people to work with. If I can just reach the point where I can get 200 or 300 people in small clubs and I’m carving out enough money to pay my bills, then I’m the happiest guy I know. – Sturgill Simpson
I’ve never talked to our guys about being young. That’s an easy crutch to fall on. You really just have to come in and build the spirit up of your team by working them everyday, showing them examples of what they’ve done and reinforce their work. – Scott Brooks
After my years in Hollywood, I got tired of apologizing for work that really wasn’t mine to begin with. – Sue Grafton
We work with every one of them to see if their character wouldn’t say a certain thing or if something is worded awkwardly – we work with them to rectify that. – Simon Pegg
When I did ’21 Jump Street,’ I felt like I was a part of something great, but on a very large scale. Working with people that genuinely want to make good art or good work or a good film, that’s what keeps me going. – Spencer Boldman
You want to make the photograph work in every way possible. Doesn’t matter where it is in the world. – William Eggleston
Work eight hours and sleep eight hours and make sure that they are not the same hours. – T. Boone Pickens
Most of the time you’re too busy to think about it. But every now and then you say, ‘I work at ‘Saturday Night Live,’ and that is so cool. – Tina Fey
I’m not cocky at all. You ask anybody, I’m one of the nicest guys. I try to be as humble as I can, but if you work hard, sometimes you know that you earned more respect. – Shabazz Muhammad
I love my lecture tours. I get up onstage. I have my stack of books and a glass of water and a microphone. No podium, no distance between me and the audience, and I just talk to people and get all excited and tell a lot of jokes, and sing some songs, and read from my work and remind people how powerful they are and how beautiful they are. – Suzan-Lori Parks
I hope I’ve been able to show other young girls that as long as you work hard and you’re committed to fight for your education, that anything’s possible. – Susana Martinez
The Oscars are really nice, but the best part is that I had the opportunity to do that kind of work. – Sally Field
I like what I do, and a lot of these projects have really interesting material and interesting people to work with. I feel lucky. – Tobias Menzies
There are certain filmmakers I’d like to work with that I don’t think would take a risk with me, because I could be distracting in their film. It’ll take a couple films to prove to them that it’s worth the risk. – Seann William Scott
When I became a mother of two, I decided to work with brands that remind me of family because they’re my No. 1 priority. Now I’m partnering with Puffs to encourage people to get out and not hibernate inside. People should enjoy the holiday season, and if you do have a runny nose or the sniffles, Puffs is there to take care of your symptoms. – Vanessa Lachey
I’m very lucky to live my life through a sport that I love. I’m in a very privileged position that my work is my hobby. – Tony McCoy
I learn from Larry Ellison every day. I’ve said this before: how is it to work with someone who thinks out of the box? Larry doesn’t see the walls at all; he does not see the box. He is an absolute, true visionary. And to be honest, I always find myself in a box! I’m comfy in my box. I’ve furnished it; it’s lovely. – Safra A. Catz
My first cousin, by the way, on my father’s mother side was John Marshall Harlan, who was a Supreme Court justice, as was his grandson. And I think a lot of my fight and my work to struggle for fairness and the techniques of theater and in subject matter probably stems in some way from some sense I have of his issues in life. – William Hurt
Chains do more than bargain down prices from suppliers or divide fixed costs across a lot of units. They rapidly spread economic discovery – the scarce and costly knowledge of what retail concepts and operational innovations actually work. – Virginia Postrel
Crime, family dissolution, welfare, and low levels of social organization are fundamentally a consequence of the disappearance of work. – William Julius Wilson
The whole point of bike-sharing is to give New Yorkers another way to commute. A lot of folks in Bay Ridge work in downtown Brooklyn or other parts of the borough. For them, it would make more sense to hop on a Citi Bike than to wait for a train or a bus. – Sal Albanese
Perhaps the writer I’ve read the most of is Haruki Murakami, the Japanese writer, but I wouldn’t necessarily say he’s a favourite. I read him because I find his work so intriguing, but I don’t necessarily feel I would follow this writer to the ends of the earth. – Shaun Tan
When I was doing ensemble theater and comedy work, I felt I had some talents. But when I started doing my shows in Berkeley and found that I could be funny on my own, I was shocked. – Whoopi Goldberg
When I was growing up, Dr. Seuss was really my favorite. There was something about the lyrical nature and the simplicity of his work that really hit me. – Tim Burton
Schubert had arguably the same melodic gift as Mozart, but even less support. He didn’t have the early exposure, never got to travel anywhere, and yet generated and amassed a body of work that grew and developed and is very profound. – Twyla Tharp
