I've worked in supermarkets, put tags in baseball caps and provided security during Wimbledon, but I never thought acting would be something I'd be any good at, or make a living from.
‐‐ Claire Foy
I've worked in television all my life, but really I've always wanted to work in the movies.

‐‐ Tommy Lee Jones
I've worked in the Inuit hamlets of the west coast of Hudson Bay since 1994. Over that time I've been very moved by both the pace of social change there - the loss of traditional ways of seeing the world, the affinity for and comfort with the land - and by the social disarray that change of this pace produces.
‐‐ Kevin Patterson
I've worked in the prison system for five years, and most of those folks in prison didn't have a direction.
‐‐ Stedman Graham
I've worked in the prison system, on death row and maximum security. I did that work for six years. I've worked with some of the most difficult people in our society. Buddhism was accessible and helpful for these individuals.
‐‐ Joan Halifax
I've worked in the theater, television, and films. A five-hour TV series is certainly more time than a character I'd be playing in a film.
‐‐ Lennie James
I've worked Keira Knightley quite a bit and Kevin Costner.
‐‐ Chris Pine
I've worked my whole life and never missed a deadline.
‐‐ Dan Jenkins
I've worked myself to exhaustion before. I was so young, and I thought I could do everything; it was just too much for my body and my mind.
‐‐ Penelope Cruz
I've worked nonstop for 31 years. I've counted down myself hundreds of cues for everything in each 90-minute show. I've never really taken an extended break, so I'd like to see what a vacation is really like.
‐‐ Lance Burton
I've worked on 30-something different TV shows, and most of the people can't stand each other.
‐‐ Theo Rossi
I've worked on all sorts of things, like the sci-fi stuff for Vin Diesel, where the script is numbered and is in unphotocopy-able colours and your name is stamped into every page. And it doesn't really help because it creates a false sense of specialness about the thing.
‐‐ Colm Feore
I've worked on movies that are being rewritten as you go, but you take so long and so much time doing it, that it's not really an issue knowing what's going to happen or how the movie is going to end.
‐‐ Luke Wilson
I've worked on movies where there's all these people coming and going, and I don't even know who they are.
‐‐ Allison Anders
I've worked on really big budget movies as a designer - 'Vanilla Sky,' 'Three Kings;' I've been in that world, and you can just see people get nervous.
‐‐ Catherine Hardwicke
I've worked on shows where the lead actor doesn't know their lines, doesn't care, and it affects everybody - the crew, the director, the other actors. It's definitely a responsibility.
‐‐ Tatiana Maslany
I've worked on some movies that get put in the horror shelf on the video stores, but they're really structurally like mysteries, and not so dependent on the gore factor, so they really don't need to be R-rated movies.
‐‐ Ehren Kruger
I've worked out for years. For a long time, it was my only sense of gratification.
‐‐ Vin Diesel
I've worked really hard, but I know people who have worked even harder but didn't have the chances I've had.

I've worked really hard, but it's definitely not been easy.

‐‐ Amanda Bynes
I've worked really physically hard, and I was never afraid of working hard as younger bloke.
‐‐ Matthew Nable
I've worked since I was 11 years old, playing music and following the dream, and shaking and moving and doing it. And then, you have cancer and it was like 'Ooooohh.' It was like a big eraser. It was the only thing in my life that had ever made me just stop.
‐‐ Melissa Etheridge
I've worked since I was 18. I have no trust fund and don't expect anything.
‐‐ Jasmine Guinness
I've worked since I was a five-year-old to be a performer.
‐‐ Lady Gaga
I've worked since I was in second grade.
‐‐ Rick Scott
I've worked since it was basically legal to work. I was a waitress on and off for eight years. I worked at Sears; I worked at Abercrombie folding clothes. My dad really instilled good money management habits, and I've saved 10 percent of my paycheck, every paycheck, since I was 15.
‐‐ Rosanna Pansino
I've worked so hard for years, and it's just incredible to see my clothes in Dorothy Perkins. I got quite emotional at the launch.
‐‐ Amy Childs
I've worked so hard to eliminate the inner geek from my life. I suddenly realize I have no patience for those people who still have their geeks showing. Now I see why being 'normal' has been so important to me.
‐‐ Kenny Loggins
I've worked throughout California as a poet: in colleges, universities, worker camps, migrant education offices, continuation high schools, juvenile halls, prisons, and gifted classrooms.
‐‐ Juan Felipe Herrera
I've worked too hard all my life to have my kids control my life.
‐‐ Steve Schirripa
I've worked too hard and too long to let anything stand in the way of my goals. I will not let my teammates down and I will not let myself down.
‐‐ Mia Hamm
I've worked very hard at understanding myself, learning to be assertive. I'm past the point where I worry about people liking me.
‐‐ Pam Dawber
I've worked very hard, but my life's always been fun.
‐‐ Reed Hastings
I've worked very hard for everything I have and nothing has come easy.

I've worked very hard to become comfortable with how death works and why it happens. I now know that death isn't out to get me.
‐‐ Caitlin Doughty
I've worked with a band, and it's nice to have someone to travel around with, but I didn't like it as well on stage.
‐‐ Randy Newman
I've worked with a couple of these really cool, great actors like Ted Danson and Glenn Close. They all have their own presence when they walk into a room, and I was excited to see what Tom Selleck's 'space' was going to be like.
‐‐ Vanessa Ray
I've worked with a lot of beauty companies over the years, but I really have to say that my own routine is very natural; like, I really try to be careful about the stuff I'm putting into my body, onto my body. I do believe in beauty foods - like, a lot of blueberries, salmon, kale, quinoa, avocado.
‐‐ Liz Goldwyn
I've worked with a lot of characters that are unhinged. I've played characters that are unhinged. That's, like, my job.
‐‐ Philip Seymour Hoffman
I've worked with a lot of directors, some of them you wouldn't really attach the word 'artist' to their name.
‐‐ Mark Mothersbaugh
I've worked with a lot of directors who really don't have a sense of what the hell they want.
‐‐ Adrienne Shelly
I've worked with a lot of first time directors; in fact, I enjoy it because there is a certain beginner's mind that they bring into a project that isn't loaded with the way things have been done before. There's a certain freedom to it.
‐‐ Stephanie Allain
I've worked with a lot of first-time directors who kind of look to me for ideas and opinions and stuff, and I'm a team player.
‐‐ Jeff Bridges
I've worked with a lot of gay and lesbian organizations. I sit on the board of the Empire State Pride Agenda. I've also done a lot of work for Broadway Care/Equity Fights AIDS. I think it's important because, when we can be of service to others, it only enhances our lives. I've been helped a lot in my life.
‐‐ Billy Porter
I've worked with a lot of great directors.
‐‐ Catherine Keener
I've worked with a lot of kids, and when you're working with kids they have certain hours that they have to work.
‐‐ Jeff Bridges
I've worked with a lot of people on music and often times those things don't work out.
‐‐ Joaquin Phoenix
I've worked with a lot of real heavy hitters, and Quentin is maybe heads and shoulders, at least a forehead, above just about anybody I've ever worked with.
‐‐ David Carradine
I've worked with a lot of really fine actors, both on stage and on screen. The level of their game lifts me up and brings the level of my game up to theirs. Always. It's like a constant upgrade.
‐‐ Gary Sinise
