You have to work hard to get to the top of your game. I think every writer has doubts! I still do all the time.
'The Taming Of The Shrew' is probably the first time I've worked in this country for about ten years, apart from theatre, and it's not for want of trying. It was so fantastic to work in London - it felt really glamorous.
I want to work for a long, long time and keep growing in my work, and if I am very lucky and very blessed, maybe somewhere along the line there will be one movie in there that becomes a classic.
Every time I work on a new set, I take whatever I can from it and learn as much as I can around the people who I am working with.
You always draw on your experiences with live audiences to know how to do comedy on films. You're working for a laugh that may or may not come six months later, but you're working in a vacuum at the time you are doing it.
What I remember most about working on 'Sesame Street' is having fun in the green room with the other kids while waiting for my time to go on camera to work with the puppets.
I believe that work can be done on security; in combating terrorism in Mexico we have done our part in this area. But at the same time, the world must continue working.
I had a hard time with that hockey. I hadn't grown up skating, so that was my biggest challenge. We worked on it and worked on it. But then when we first shot it, it was so hard for me.
I'm getting fat... because my size, I put on 20 or 30 pounds, it doesn't show very much... I'm thinking about going back to work out in a very short time.
Secretary: The phone doesn't work. Mr. Krull: Well then call the phone company. Secretary: But... the phone doesn't work!
Phil: Can I talk to you about a matter that is not work-related? Rita: You never talk about work.
Maggie Fitzgerald: Working the bag, boss. Frankie Dunn: I'm not your boss and that bag's working you.
Engywook: Get out of my sight, wench, you're disturbing my scientific work! Urgl: You and your scientific work!
Jigo: When you're going to kill a god, let someone else do your dirty work.
Jack Favell: I'd like to have your advice on how to live comfortably without hard work.
Nowadays you really have to pump out that blockbuster in order to have the luxury of getting a body of work, and that's sad because the work suffers. Today everything is based on money. The older actors, they inspire me.
We worked for 11 years to get where we are today, and I want to take our work seriously so that later on I'll be able to appreciate the money we've made.
The rich continue to get rich the same way they always have - by understanding how money works and making their money work for them.
My philosophy is if you're going to work 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for not a whole lot of money, why work for someone you're not gonna be loyal to?
If you're just saying, hey, I'm doing this. I'm working to make money. I'm working to increase my status. If that's all there is, I think you will find out that it's meaningless.
I can work in films as long as the story doesn't have a realistic nature. If I'm working with an allegory, a fantasy, it can be developed in synthetic terms.
