Morning is when I do all my best work.
I do my best work when I feel conviction to say something through the character I play. Always I want to have integrity and not compromise that.
At the end of the day, it is about doing your best work – controlling what you can control and not trying to control what you can’t.
It’s hard when you’re writing for someone else. You obviously always want to do your best work, but sometimes you write and have a song idea and you’re like, ‘Oh, it’s so good I want to keep it for us.’
I don’t see money or a particular status as an actor as a goal, but I want to do the best work I can in as interesting a range of roles as I can.
As an artist in the 21st century, my two goals are to make the best work that I can, improve as much as I can, and to distribute that work as far as I can.
When I was young, I was very blessed to have this insight that my best work would be when I was an older actress. I just always knew that as a young actress.
I like being on a set where you can make decisions and everything is involved and are happy to work together to make the best work. For me, it’s all about making the best work and creative people working together and all being respected and all having their opinions of what gives it the best quality is important.
The question was, in a sense, at Princeton Review, how much value was I adding as a public company CEO. I was adding less than other people might’ve… I think you want to move on when you’ve given your best work and then feel that you’re not going to add as much value moving forward.
I’ve written the best work I know how. And I’m appreciative of the people who read it and care about the work – and that’s pretty much the end of that.
I’ve been gone for a long time. I really want to give the fans something that they deserve to have. So, I’m working really hard on this. I really want to make it the best work I’ve done so far.
People who are exposed to great Wonder Woman stories love her. You have to do your best work and get it out there so people can experience it.
I was a player for 20 years. When there was something bothering me, I couldn’t perform to my usual standard. When your wife is annoying you, for instance, it’s not easy to do your best work, is it?
Every single job is a challenge. You are walking into a new set, a new character, creating a world and trying to get comfortable to do your best work.
I do my best work alone. I travel alone a lot.
I don’t necessarily think about being a woman as I make decisions, but I do value diversity of opinion and encourage others to speak up and do their best work.
I have always thought to do my best work.
I feel I do my best work when it’s all there on the page, and I feel that the character is very vivid as I read the script and I’m not having to create stuff and trying to cobble together something. If I have to do that, then I don’t entirely trust what I’m doing.
I feel like I do my best work under fear of being fired.
When you’re managing an emergency department, you’re trying to keep everybody calm, so when an emergency comes in the door, everyone can do their best work.
I take it extremely seriously to do absolutely the best work possible and the truest work possible, because I feel like that is what’s going to resonate not only for myself but hopefully for an audience.
I do some of my best work when I’m dead.
I always wanted to be the underdog. For me, as a portrait photographer, it’s the kiss of death to become well known. I did my best work when no one knew who I was. People weren’t threatened by me because they didn’t think I was a big deal.
The best work of literature to represent the American Dream is ‘The Great Gatsby’ by F. Scott Fitzgerald. It shows us how dreaming can be tainted by reality, and that if you don’t compromise, you may suffer.
I don’t know what makes someone hip. The goal is artist achievement and the best work we can do with no limitation.
People say you make your best work when you’re in despair and all that, and at your lowest – but for me, I think happiness makes you positive, and I think that’s a good creative place to write from.
The stage is my love, it’s where I started and where I do my best work.
I’m a huge Muppets fan. Gigantic. I think they’re genius. I think they’re some of the best work out there and completely underrated, just because of how genius they are. I love that kind of humor. It’s so innocent but brilliant.
My job is to hire the best and brightest employees and empower them to do their best work. As a manager, I am not a mind reader nor an expert at every job function. Therefore, it is incumbent on all hires to feel empowered to tell me what resources they need to do their job.
I like to create a community where people want to come and have a good time and do their best work.
My best work was with Nadeem-Shravan, Anu Malik, Jatin-Lalit, Anand-Milind and also Rajesh Roshan and Bappi Lahiri.
The best work is not what is most difficult for you; it is what you do best.
I am trying to do the best work I possibly can and making movies that will have resonance for years to come. I think if you try for an Oscar or a goal like that, the more people are going to see it as transparent. It’s not on my radar. If it happens, great, but I’m happy to continue working as I am, really.
If I do a play, it’s my vision, and everybody else is working on the production to support that. If I do an opera, I feel like part of my job is to support that composer, to try and create something that allows the composer to do his or her best work. In movies, it’s usually the director.
It’s funny: what one tends to think of as the best work you’ve done is not what other people think is the best you’ve done.
Giving people some kind of control over what they do is important. Human beings don’t do their best work under conditions of control.
I need to help people to create the best work that they can. It’s just something a producer should do anyway.
If you believe in what you are doing, then let nothing hold you up in your work. Much of the best work of the world has been done against seeming impossibilities. The thing is to get the work done.
Some of what I consider my best work, and some of the best films that I’ve ever worked on, kind of disappear without a trace. There’s no accounting for it. Something connects, or something doesn’t.
It’s important to always do your best work, no matter what the film is.
Ultimately, you’re happiest in yourself when you make your best work.
A lot of people don’t know this about Wu-Tang, it started from a focused mind. I was given total autonomy to do whatever I want with them… They agreed, to me, to be a dictator for five years. And in those five years, it’s considered some of our best work.
All I am hoping for is to be able to work – I think my best work is still ahead of me – I think all that I have been through in the last several years have only made me a better, more interesting actor.
I spent 10 or 15 years doing visual effects and, if I learned anything from that time, it’s that you do the best work when you let things go wrong and embrace the happy accidents. Then suddenly it feels fresh and you’re somewhere new.
I did my best work in The Mosquito Coast. I know it wasn’t such a big hit, but for me it was more meaningful than anything else I’d ever done.
I looked long and carefully at the picture of a stag painted by Landseer – the style was good, and the brush was handled with fine effect; but he fails in copying Nature, without which the best work will be a failure.
You can’t do things for money. You just can’t act them. There’s gotta be something about the script that you really want to do. I wouldn’t do a job if I didn’t think I could do the best work I possibly could.
It is our best work that God wants, not the dregs of our exhaustion. I think he must prefer quality to quantity.
I have to be where the best work can be done.
I was raised not to be rude, but I also try to get the best work out of people.
It’s fun to be on the edge. I think you do your best work when you take chances, when you’re not safe, when you’re not in the middle of the road, at least for me, anyway.
In next five to 10 years I probably would have done my best work, but I was afraid of having another 10 or 15 years ahead of me and feeling stale, so this was an opportunity to reinvigorate myself.
I’ve done some of my best work in films that fell right through the cracks, so I try to not make career moves but to build a body of work.

We enjoy what we do and, for me, playing football is the best work in the world.
And you know, whether it’s drama or comedy, the best work is based on truth. It’s just that, with comedy, the circumstances are just crazy-heightened, and you have these crazy things thrown at you. But you still have to do it truthfully, because that’s where the humor comes from. So it’s not that difficult to cross over.
Glenn Close is a living icon. You look at the work, and I think it’s wild, because she thinks some of her best work was in Dangerous Liaisons and that’s what I believe as well.
