My mom was a professional. My dad and mom met each other in a movie called 'New Faces of 1937.' My mom went under the name Thelma Leeds and she did a few movies and she was really a great singer and when she married my dad and started to have a family she sang at parties.

THE GODS was my first professional band and I learned a lot during that time. It was very cool playing with so many great musicians as it helped me to learn.

It's so important for those living with chronic pain to establish good communication with both their healthcare professionals and caregivers. Clear communication about pain is vital to receiving proper diagnosis and effective treatment.

I wouldn't change one thing about my professional life and I make it a point not to dwell on my mistakes.

In my early professional years I was asking the question: How can I treat or cure or change this person? Now I would phrase the question in this way: How can I provide a relationship which this person may use for his own personal growth?

My professional life has been a constant record of disillusion and many things that seem wonderful to most men are the every-day commonplaces of my business.

I was a fairly good amateur musician and I was an average professional. But the one thing I saw was that the big band business was fading.

The word career is a divisive word. It's a word that divides the normal life from business or professional life.

I was a good amateur but only an average professional. I soon realized that there was a limit to how far I could rise in the music business so I left the band and enrolled at New York University.

I do not regret one professional enemy I have made. Any actor who doesn't dare to make an enemy should get out of the business.

I rate enthusiasm even above professional skill.

I've always believed that there are funny people everywhere but they're just not comedians. In fact some of my best comedic inspirations were not professional entertainers.

The beauty comes with the balance. Everyone should find his own balance in his personal as well as his professional life. Once you do so you will feel and look beautiful.

Younger women have no problem in reconciling beauty with ambitions as a professional woman.

I thought I was going to be killed. The casualties were so heavy it was just a given. I learned to take each day each mission as it came. That's an attitude I've carried into my professional life. I take each case each job as it comes.

I've never been out with any of the cast of Coronation Street. We're all very close friends so it's very much a professional attitude.

Fairness is not an attitude. It's a professional skill that must be developed and exercised.

It was really cool to work with Dakota Fanning. I've watched her grow up and I've always loved her films loved her. It was amazing working with someone who was American as well because obviously it's going to be a different energy straightaway. We got on really well she's so professional and hardworking.

Christina Ricci is amazing the most professional actor I think I've ever met. You can be chatting with her and when they call action she's right there.

It's really sad looking at people like Lindsay Lohan. She's an amazing actress but you see what happens when people know too much about your personal life. They start not being able to look at you the same way professionally. I don't want that to happen to me.

Anyone who has played the game professionally you're always taught that the ball is the most important most precious thing so when the ball hits the ground it's always a mad scramble. It's amazing how many times there is a fumble and the person who recovers it initially doesn't walk away with the ball.

Truthfully being pregnant is changing me as a person. Each day is part of this amazing journey that has completely shifted the focus of my life and made me reevaluate my personal and professional goals.

I've had an amazing professional life personal life but at 64 to have a son who gives us that much love and enjoyment is wow!

I mean Buckingham Palace has never hired a professional public relations outfit let alone a Madison Avenue type and they would throw up their hands in horror at the very idea.
