I think all those people I did stories about measured their own success by the joy their work was giving them.
People have always thought that I wasn't ambitious. They judged by appearances and were fooled. I was competitive. I wanted success and was willing to work for it.
People say they love the characters I've chosen in my career. But I didn't choose anything. I just happened to be working and these were offered to me.
I totally love to act. I don't care if it's a musical, a comedy. I just like to work and interact with other people.
I am blessed to be able to work at a job I love and also give back in the most vital way - to people in need.
I have loved hosting over the years, simply because I love working with people. It's the perfect job.
I actually love going to a lot of theater movies. I just love watching actors work and seeing how people tell stories.
All those rappers, they're the only glamorous people working in music now. They dress up in these chains of gold, cars, girls and this and that, high-heeled shoes.
Records are just moments of achievement. They're like receipts for work done. Time goes on and people keep playing music.
That's what I care about is the people I work with and representing them and helping to make their music apparent for the rest of the world.
My music can be a little obscure. It does worry me that the music might be too complicated for people to take in - that they have to work too hard at it.
Every morning I get up and look through the Forbes list of the richest people in America. If I'm not there, I go to work.
I respect the fact that people have worked hard all week and want to go to the movies on the weekend and be entertained.
My father was interested in justice, always working for people who needed to be supported.
In today's world, most people are working side jobs while waiting to do what they really want to do.
In my work in Haiti, I've seen the hugely positive effects that happen when people come together to build something in the middle of the most desperate situations.
I've worked with an awful lot of people. Katy Hepburn, Spencer Tracy.
People have no idea what a hard job it is for two writers to be friends. Sooner or later you have to talk about each other's work.
Lazy people tend not to take chances, but express themselves by tearing down other's work.
I've gotten an opportunity to work with a lot of the people I've looked up to over the years, and I feel pretty grateful for it.
I'm not trying to achieve perfection. I don't like this forced control people have over work.
