Maybe UFC and Bellator should take care of the fighters when their careers are done, as the NFL takes care of their players. Because they’re making so much money off us.
Acting-wise, I’ve had all these experiences. Yet when I look at certain people whose careers I admire, they’ve gotten to play so many different characters.
It’s good that we have good managers like Jose Mourinho and Arsene Wenger in this countr,y but I think we should be trying to send out some of our managers to other countries to help not just the development of themselves but the leagues over here. It can enhance their careers.
We do not use managers, we are the representatives of our athletes, and that is why I am deeply involved in athletics, I follow our athletes careers from start to finish, 100% all the way.
I had examples from a very young age of gay actors or personalities coming out in late ’90s and early 2000s who faced a lot of backlash and didn’t have a lot of support and risked ruining their careers.
For any female actor, the age between 35 to 45 is treacherous. Filmmakers tell me, I am at that awkward age. No parts are written for women in this age bracket, while men at that age flourish and have great careers.
I never got into making documentaries for any kind of success, because documentary careers are generally ones of prolonged failures.
I think YouTube used to have a negative connotation, like it was the place where the rejects went and made careers, but I’m proud to be YouTuber. I wanted to be in that first generation of YouTube stars who transitioned into the ‘real world.’ It was a really good way to build my business.
As a reward of their clean living and good habits these great stars have been able to withstand the rigorous test of stamina and physical exertion and have thus successfully extended their most remarkable careers over a period of many strenuous years.
I am a completely different player to Ballack and Schweinsteiger. I admire the careers they have had – I hope mine will be like theirs – but I am not the same.
I do think that, for instance, we’ve been very lucky to have theatrical careers and be associated with Shakespeare which sometimes gives you a kind of bogus kudos.
I think I’m realising that careers for tennis players are very short. On the women’s side now, players are starting to peak later on, but the average age is about 31, 32 when you finish playing, so I want to make the most of it while I’m young, fit, and healthy. I don’t want to waste any time.
Players judge their careers based on medals and trophies, don’t they, and they look back on what they have achieved.
I think players have ups and downs in their careers.
I don’t think anyone sits down and thinks, ‘I know, I’ll be a chick-lit writer.’ You write the book that you want to write and then other people say, ‘Oh, that’s chick-lit.’ You say, ‘Okay.’ But it’s not like you look around and go to a careers fair and there will be someone at the chick-lit author stand.
Not so much in Canada, but certainly in the US, as I’m sure you know, money is all, and if they can get another 26 programs of the same thing even though it advances the culture or those actor’s careers not at all it doesn’t matter.
I feel I’ve had three careers in one, really. There was the ‘Benny Santini’ stuff; that came with a general sense of, ‘Who the hell is he?’ And then there was ‘The Road To Hell’ stuff, and now there’s the blues stuff.
We don’t want to be treated any differently, and we want to continue with our lives and our careers.
Knowledge-based apprenticeships kickstart careers. Just look at British fashion designer Karen Millen, for example, who learned her craft through an apprenticeship scheme.
I don’t think many actors are the best judge of careers. I think generally we have good instincts about what we can do in terms of acting. And often they become directors, which I don’t want to be.
Unless you are really grounded and have a true sense of reality, you can get lost in that and a lot of people do and that’s why you see so many people with successful careers but with destructive lives.
As you think about developing people through their careers, you’re looking for that transition from being the smartest person in the room – and caring so much about that – to being the most effective.
I am still learning every day not to watch other people’s careers and compare.
The best way to get students involved in science and want to follow either science careers or incorporate it in their lives or to achieve science literacy is to expose them to the various jobs in STEM. It’s broad from biologists to electricians to nanotechnologists to building fusion engines. It’s a wide range of things.
People very often say to actors that they admire their careers, and I rather think that what’s implied by that is that we have a choice in the matter. When really, most actors, me included, do whatever comes along next.
There are actors in this town who made important careers for a long, long period just by taking the parts that Cary Grant turned down.
I went to my school careers counselors and said I wanted to be an actor, and they didn’t know what to do. They showed me catalogues with pretty campuses and said, ‘Oh, look, there’s a theater building. Why don’t you go there?’
Professionals use ‘Strictly’ as a relaunch of flagging careers. In my year Kara Tointon won. She had been talking about giving up acting in favour of interior design, but the glitter ball led to a role as Eliza Doolittle in the West End.
Actors sure have stories. We always have stories. At the end of our careers, all we have to take with us is our stories, and we have many of them.
Jamie Moyer was in his third year as a major league pitcher and was, by his own admission, still wide-eyed, watching everything going on around him and soaking it in. He paid particular attention to older teammates on his Chicago Cubs squad, hoping to emulate habits that had allowed those veterans to extend their careers.
When people talk about first-timers, I always think of Spike Lee. In every film he’s made, he has A-listers, but he’s always giving roles to first-time actors and breaking careers. He’s brought such wonderful actors into the spotlight, and I love that.
Second, we will give our fellow citizens the skills they need for the jobs of today and the careers of tomorrow. When it comes to the school your child will attend, every parent should have a choice, and every child should have a chance.
Comparing in the past years, Tamyra Gray and everyone else that didn’t win but their careers are doing well.
At a purely practical level, history is important because it provides the basic skills needed for students to go further in sociology, politics, international relations and economics. History is also an ideal discipline for almost all careers in the law, the civil service and the private sector.
Debina and I were in a relationship from the days when we were nothing. And then we both went ahead in our careers together and when we started to get successful, the next step for both of us was marriage as we both wanted to graduate to the next level.
If anyone can figure out how to balance my celebrity and my dual careers in music and film, it’s me. I don’t feel frightened; I feel challenged.
I’m all for players extending their careers, and I’m all for trying to be as healthy as possible for the playoff run.
I talked to a lot of people that switched careers. Not necessarily to acting, but switched jobs. The ‘becoming a student again’ is the thing that always kept coming up.
I enjoy seeing young players given the opportunity and then perform and go on to have fulfilling careers.
The acceptance of ‘Quantico’ so far has been really great. At the moment, I’m just straddling two continents far away from each other, with very active careers in both!
But when it became an international hoopla where careers lived and died on whether or not you did or didn’t get an Oscar, then it got out of hand.
When I was 14, I told my careers adviser that I was going to be a world champion boxer. Of course she laughed.
I never thought I’d run for president. My parents were immigrants to this country – and leader of the free world was not on the list of careers presented to me as a skinny Asian kid growing up in upstate New York.
When I sat in rooms with middle-aged white men, I heard them speaking like young black men in America. They had been solidly middle class for the majority of their working careers, but now they were feeling angry, disaffected, and in some cases, they actually had tears in their eyes.
All our careers end the same: Face down and embarrassed.
Having more education is one of the biggest predictors of women having careers.
