I have experienced a tremendous amount of personal and professional growth, and I feel incredibly lucky that I'm able to make a career out of doing the things that I love.
When you get to the 35-year mark in your career, you make albums for your fans to love you more, so they don't forget about you.
We use shorts at the studio extensively to develop talent. I always love to give opportunities for young story people, animators, layout people something like that to take the next step up in their career and try things out.
I love Barbra Streisand and Sade who've both had careers in soul and I want my music to have that timeless quality that isn't necessarily now.
I can do whatever I want, because my career is a certain thing.
I told the record company I didn't feel the need to be at red-carpet events. I wanted a career. But I wanted to keep myself intact as a person.
I think most of my career has been built on conviction and the personality to carry that image or stride confidently on the catwalk. That was my beginning and, hopefully, my legacy.
In my early career I was like a goldfish. Rejection didn't affect me; I'd just forget how bad it was and keep going back for more.
I associate my motion picture career more with being unhappy and scared, or being under the gun, than with anything pleasant.
I always feel like I want to do my career my own way. I never follow anybody's path, what they've done.
Well, you've got certain obstacles that get in your way throughout your career, but you have to be a strong individual.
I loved competing and winning and also wanted to continue my career for the fans, knowing they were there for me and enjoyed watching me fight.
In my career quite a few people have tried to force me out, but so far no one has succeeded.
During my career several people have tried to push me out the door... Nobody has succeeded yet.
It's not about an opening weekend. It's about a career, building a set of films you're proud of. Period.
I lost three times in my career. Losing to Holmes I could deal with, because I lost to a true champion.
However, I'm at a very comfortable place in my career and celebrity, in that I don't have to audition as extensively as I used to for roles but yet I'm not immediately recognizable.
My mother's career was over at 40 but she was still trying to be everyone's buddy, always smiling for the cameras.
Otherwise, my whole career has just been flinging myself at whatever is most overdue first and letting everything else stack up.
I had a high-flying career. Never wanted to get married. All I wanted to do was have some fun.
It could be my downfall, but I don't think it is - Hollywood is run on perception, and if you stray off the path of what you want to do with your career, it's suicide.
