Other than the laws of physics, rules have never really worked out for me.

None of the editors I’ve worked with have ever asked me to pull my punches. They’ve never asked me to give them anything other than my own interpretation of events.

We worked very hard to make extensions very simple.

I came to London. It had become the center of my world and I had worked hard to come to it. And I was lost.

I really worked to try and be creative enough on the guitar parts so those who aren’t real educated would know that there was some difficulty in doing it.

Let your autobiography contain these words; “I was able to think positively, love affectionately and work efficiently”. Thinking, loving and working are what make us different from animals and trees.

Throughout the 40 years I’ve been in Washington, I’ve always worked hard, particularly with regards to the budget issues.

The similarity between the big directors I’ve worked with is that they allow the writer to find a way of doing what they want done without saying ‘do it this way.’ They describe what they want, then letting the writer figure out a way to do it.

I consider myself extremely lucky to have worked with so many great collaborators in my lifetime.

I would have liked to have worked with Ralph Richardson and Paul Scofield, but they’re dead now.

I have worked with wool all my life as a designer. There’s so much more to it than knitwear – it’s an amazingly versatile material and can be used in so many different ways from chic to rustic.

I have worked hard to build relationships between Jewish people and black people.

Real knowledge, like everything else of value, is not to be obtained easily. It must be worked for, studied for, thought for, and, more that all, must be prayed for.

In the case of ‘Blood Stone,’ the producers, EON, Michael Wilson, Barbara Broccoli, David Wilson and Gregg Wilson, had an idea for a story and had a lot of it done. And I came in, worked with them, fleshed it out.

I did several interesting jobs, working in restaurants, I worked at a lab rat farm, feeding and watering all these rats. Then I got a full-time job as a technical writer for a large scientific research laboratory.

It would be a foolish high representative who worked that way.

In the knockout tournaments, it’s futile to prepare for a grand finale. You may have worked out many strategies for the final. But you may lose in the first round itself.

I worked at Starbucks when I was 16… It was all right.

Since I was very young I have always worked hard at whatever I have had to do.

I’ve spent over half my life at NBC. This is the only place I have ever worked.

My parents didn’t know what to do with me, so they just pretended I was normal, and that worked out quite well for me.

Many of the engineers I interviewed worked on reverse-engineering technology. It’s a hallmark of Area 51.

But I’ve sure worked at jobs where I have been under inspection.

I always wanted to work with Spencer Tracy, which never happened, although I knew him well. And I never worked with Cary Grant.

I look back on our productivity in the ‘Mr. Show’ days, and think, ‘We probably could have worked harder.’

I did loads of student films and fringe theatre. I worked for free a lot.

Then, in 2000, John Reid, Elton John’s former manager, asked me to audition for the stage version of The Graduate he was producing. So I worked on it, got the part, and after three weeks’ rehearsal I was on stage!

The great houses of Britain have, for centuries, been the guardians of much of our history, not just of the families who built and lived in them, but of the people who worked there, of the local area, of all of us.

I worked at Mark Foy’s during the day and studied drama at night.

I moved out to LA, got an agent, started auditioning. I didn’t know anything about how it worked. And since I was really bad, luckily, I didn’t get any of those parts.

I grew up in Fall River, Massachusetts. My background was modest, and I worked at a Portuguese bakery in town.

I never wanted to feel I hadn’t worked hard enough.

What’s right isn’t what’s worked.

I’ve worked with the greatest actors, and they’re all gone. This is what’s so desperate to me.

I never worked in an office in my life.

I adored ‘Breaking The Waves,’ so when Lars von Trier wanted me in ‘Dogville,’ I was beside myself with joy. He works in a way that nobody I’ve ever worked with works.

If I’m racist, don’t think I would have directed shows like ‘The Parkers’ and ‘The Wayans Brothers’ or worked 41 episodes with Victoria Rowell on ‘Diagnosis: Murder.’

My old man was a musician – that’s what he did for a living. And like most fathers, occasionally he’d let me visit where he worked. So I started going to his recording studio, and I really dug it.

Obviously the commercial news media tries to get you worked up and terrified so you’ll buy products that they’re advertising.

During the many centuries that magic, here on this planet, was presumed to have worked, there were at least as many theories as to how magic worked as there were cultures and religions.

Art doesn’t feed me or fill the void when I am not working. If I haven’t worked for six months, I can’t paint.

‘Vanity Fair’ did this grid thing a couple years ago, connecting people who’ve worked together, and I had the most branches on it or whatever, because I’d worked with so-and-so and so-and-so worked with so-and-so, and I was kind of in the middle.

The hardest thing is at the end you have to say bye to all these people who you have worked with for so many months. It was really sad not to see them anymore. But you have the parties that you go to and you get to see them, like the premieres and the screenings.

Most of ‘All Hail West Texas’ was written during orientation at a new job I had. I had basically worked this job before, I knew this stuff, so I was writing lyrics in the margins of all the Xeroxed material.

The Marshall is supposed to be 200 watts, but mine’s never worked right; it peaks out at 80.

I’ve worked with some actors who can’t act.

Atlantic’s Jerry Wexler believes first-rate records are made by first-rate voices. He certainly has worked with enough of them: Clyde McPhatter, Joe Turner, La Vern Baker, Ray Charles, Otis Redding, Solomon Burke, Wilson Pickett and Aretha Franklin.

‘The New Yorker’s’ drama critics have always had a comparable authority because, for the most part, the magazine made it a practice to employ critics who moonlighted in the arts. They worked both sides of the street, so to speak.

I’ve composed a fair amount in my life, and some of them have made it on to the screen, some compositions that I’ve done, a few. And I like doing that. I had never really considered doing a full-length thing. I’ve worked with other people creating full-length pieces.

One of the things about genetics that has become clearer as we’ve done genomes – as we’ve worked our way through the evolutionary tree, including humans – is that we’re probably much more genetic animals than we want to confess we are.
