I reached a time in college when I didn't know what I wanted to do. At that time women's careers were essentially nursing secretarial and teaching. My mother advised me to get my teacher's certificate.

Obstacles are necessary for success because in selling as in all careers of importance victory comes only after many struggles and countless defeats.

Like many students I found the drudgery of real experiments and the slowness of progress a complete shock and at my low points I contemplated other alternative careers including study of the philosophy or sociology of science.

Conductors' careers are made for the most part with 'Romantic' music. 'Classic' music eliminates the conductor we do not remember him in it.

I respect people who can do both careers like Will Smith and a couple of other people who have done it but I just don't know when they sleep.

All the actors I respect especially old-Hollywood actors the reason I think so many of them have had long careers is that there is a sort of mystery about them. You don't know what they do on Friday nights when they go home from work. You have no clue. You have this sort of fantasy about them.

Your relationship with an agent has got to be mutually beneficial. If you can't help their careers then they're not going to be interested.

The thing that I think is the most important is taking moments to express your appreciation to your partner. A thank you or a quick kiss can go a long way toward affirming your relationship and commitment to each other. That's not hard to do even when you're juggling insane careers and three kids.

When the Lord Chancellor violates the trust of his great office of state to solicit party donations from people whose careers he can control and then says I'm not sorry and I'd do it again no wonder the public think that power has gone to their heads.

My mom is two people to me. She's my mom number one and then she's this lady most comedians know as being a legendary owner of a nightclub that's responsible for starting a lot of heavy careers.

I am still learning every day not to watch other people's careers and compare.

I am drawn to women who are independent and creative which is problematic because it's a struggle a competition of careers. There's jealousy.

The women I know who have children and have careers they seem to be very happy. They love their children and they love their jobs. But happiness comes out of being willing to do your work in your twenties to find out who you are what you love.

It's a funny thing because you look at the careers of other filmmakers and you see them sort of slow down and you realize maybe this becomes harder to do as you get older. That's sort of a cautionary thing. I hope it doesn't happen to me.

I think 'Saturday Night Live' starting in the 1970s really gave women an outlet to be funny. A lot of those women went on to have film careers from Kristen Wiig now to Tina Fey and Gilda Radner.

I grew up being the girl who would always tune in to watch famous people talk about their careers how they handled scandals and mega fame. I'm trying to pick up tips.

No matter how famous and established they were or however blessed they were with great songs or long careers if they lived alone they lived alone. That's not the way I wanted to live prior to the tour or after.

It was pretty frightening because as we all know when large famous groups breakup a lot of the members don't survive in solo careers.

There are people who appear in the magazines and I don't know who they are. I've never seen anything they've done and their careers are over already. They're famous for maybe 10 minutes. Real careers I think take a long time to unfold.

Catholic school graduates exhibit a wide variety of qualities that will not only help them in their careers but also in their family and community lives.

Studies have shown that since women have had access to the pill and family planning measures they have made huge gains in both wages and in careers that were dominated by men.

I've learned to think in terms of having a long career. Actors can have very long careers that last until the day we die but there will be moments when you'll feel like you're a failure or when you're disappointed in yourself.

You can learn more from the lows than the highs. The highs are great but the lows make you really look at things in a different way and want to improve. Every player will have both in their careers and I have but what you get is that experience which is so important to perform at your best.

I knew from a young age that I wanted to be an actor. I never even thought about other careers. The acting field is certainly not the path many Indian parents encourage their children to take but mine were very supportive. They wanted me to have an education but understood that this is what I wanted to do.
