I'd like to show people that if you put the hard work in and you believe in yourself, then you can do whatever you want to.
My concentration was really on getting to university and becoming a doctor. My parents let me know that school marks were important. Achievement was something which came by hard work.
Most Sundays, with the exception of football Sundays, I work, because I don't take days off as long as I'm working on something that's supposed to be all in the same mood.
I was trained to serve the writer and director as an actor before I serve myself. Not to say that's gotten in my way, but that's a different way of working than most American actors work.
My problem is that I think everybody needs to work as hard as I worked when I was in my prime.
For me, it is important to win titles and for that I need to work hard, stay healthy and be able to compete. The rest, I always say, it comes.
It seems we always exceed even our own expectations-after a lot of hard work, though!
The 'Aladdin' thing - that's not work; that's just fun. Three days in the recording studio going mad, then the animators do all the work. Not a bad way to cash a large check, my friend.

Preserving that privacy between a writer and the work is important. You have to shut out all those voices that have reacted to your work.
I'm a realist, not a sugar coater. I believe in always letting people know what their obstacles are. And at the end of the day, I just want to be respected for my hard work.
I know that to write you have to have stories you want to tell. You have to keep your mind alive, and you have to work hard.
When you work for something, you appreciate it more. So what are y'all going to do with all the opportunities you inherited that you didn't have to work for?
The highest compliment that you can pay me is to say that I work hard every day, that I never dog it.

My wife and daughters work. My campaign manager in 2005 was a working mother. I appointed 5 women to my senior staff as Attorney General.
