When I came into baseball, I had one goal for my career - the Hall of Fame.
For the first six months of my stand-up career, I was talking like Danny Dyer. I was doing a lot of 'alright guvnors?' It wasn't true to who I was.
I look at what I've gone through in my career and I really shouldn't be talking to you now. I should be dead ten times over.
The conventions of an almighty agency tapping you for greatness and signing you up and telling you this is going to be the next big thing; that has not been my career.
Hearts was the pinnacle of my career. After I left, it really was downhill. Hearts is the club I always associate myself with, and I'm proud to have played for them.
To nurture your career, it makes sense to cultivate your strengths. To nurture your moral core, it is necessary to confront your weaknesses.
I grew up in the Midwest; you don't know any screenwriters. It didn't seem like a realistic career possibility.
I've been lucky enough to do theatre, film, and television for a career. Unless I get offered a job as an astronaut, I won't stray too far from it.
The biggest honor of my career was when I won R&B Artist of the Year back in the 1970s. I look at that as a major honor.
If we are interested in a writing life - as opposed to a writing career - then we are in it for the process and not the product - for the body of work and not for the quick hit of one well-realised piece.
My Brilliant Career was beautifully directed, but I had a bit of trouble with myself in it. It was a silly script, based on a book this 16-year-old girl wrote.
I wanted to have a go at a pop career. My first single, 'Baby I Don't Care', was a hit, and the second, 'Bye Bye Boy', reached the Top 20.
I look at my career and it's still hard for me to believe the way things turned out and how things happened. I've been so blessed.
I was never the ingenue or the pretty girlfriend of Tom Cruise in a movie. I didn't have that career, so I don't have to compete on that level.
I feel like everything does happen for a reason, and I can totally look back on my career and the decisions I've made and how it sort of worked itself out.
All of my writing career is about how human beings negotiate dark matter.
My career as a magazine writer was largely prefaced on the idea of curiosity, to go on adventures and weasel my way into the lives of people that I admire.
I obviously enjoy being wealthy. It's enabled me to have a career that I've chosen and not one that I've been forced into.
I was at the pinnacle of my career one day and the next day I was put out to pasture. I felt like a race horse with a broken leg.
I consider myself very lucky indeed to have had the career I have. I listen to the radio now and you can't tell artists apart.
No one's just going to hand you a career. I waited for years for someone to hand me one and it never happened.
