My mother at least twice cancelled our family's subscription to the newspaper I was working on because she was so mad about its treatment of my father.

I grew up in a family that was multifaceted sexually oriented and pretty much open to everything. And because I was working my friends were all adults. I had a tough time going to different schools because people knew me from films and I was the fat child who got beaten up every day.

I came from a poor family so working and going to school at the same time was natural. It taught me multi-tasking although we didn't call it that back then. I learned I could never be idle I need to be doing many things at once.

Make a Goal Box a chart of positive daily contact with a family when you are working with them.

Faith and doubt both are needed - not as antagonists but working side by side to take us around the unknown curve.

Beside every great success are the seeds of enormous failure. In every failure there's the opportunity seeds of great success. They're not miles apart. So if they're that close together and if you're really working you're always gonna have that likelihood that something's not going to work.

The point is not to take the world's opinion as a guiding star but to go one's way in life and working unerringly neither depressed by failure nor seduced by applause.

Once you start a working on something don't be afraid of failure and don't abandon it. People who work sincerely are the happiest.

You're working on being a father so that is something that when you experience it you'll understand the profundity of wanting to protect something dear to you.

If you started in New York you were dealing with the biggest guys in the world. You're dealing with Charlie Parker and all the big bands and everything. We got more experience working in Seattle.

I've always loved the experience of working together with other people toward an artistic goal.

And then I went to 'Dawson's Creek ' which is a show that was for better or for worse all about the language. It was a word-perfect show which I'd never had any experience with. And it was really shocking for me. I felt really hemmed in. At the time it wasn't my favorite working experience.

If you're working on a movie you want it to be projected on the largest tapestry possible and the sound to be perfect and for that kind of communal experience of the movies to take place for it.

I'd like to work with Justin Bieber. He's talented and he's so young. I know what he's going through. I've lived what he's living through right now. Working with him would complete a circle of sorts for me. And he might find it a worthwhile experience himself.

That's one of the benefits of working on big budget films. You work with people who have a lot of experience and you get to learn a lot.

I have relationships with people I'm working with based on our combined interest. It doesn't make the relationship any less sincere but it does give it a focus that may not last beyond the experience.

Experience taught me that working families are often just one pay check away from economic disaster. And it showed me first-hand the importance of every family having access to good health care.

I would wish for any one of my colleagues to have the experience of working with Martin Scorsese once in their lifetime.

I would love to work in America. I wouldn't love to live there but I'd love to experience working there.

Women love working together. That's my experience anyway.

Working with HBO was an opportunity to experience creative freedom and 'long-form development' that filmmakers didn't have a chance to do before the emergence of shows like 'The Sopranos.'

Any film or to me any creative endeavour no matter who you're working with is in many cases a wonderful experience.

Working with big actors and realising that they were just normal people who've got an incredible talent was just a great experience.

I don't think I've ever worked so hard on something but working on Macintosh was the neatest experience of my life. Almost everyone who worked on it will say that. None of us wanted to release it at the end. It was as though we knew that once it was out of our hands it wouldn't be ours anymore.
