I remember when you used to have your profession on your passport and I always thought that being a painter was the best one to be, because my heroes were Goya and Francis Bacon.
I think I’m well on the way of overcoming a very big hurdle that’s been in my way for several years. Which is trying to find a way to not let the insecurity of my profession get the better of me and make me crazy. I’m trying to find a way to maintain my own personal balance in the midst of everything.
I just wanted to defend football, which is not always easy to do. Those of us who have been in the sport so many years now realise we must protect it and look after it. I was speaking about football, what it means. It is our profession, it has been our lives, and we must take care of it a little.
In any profession, whether it’s teachers or doctors or lawyers, the more we say we’re not going to evaluate those people on the merits, I think that’s when the profession goes into decline.
Death marks our careers as actors – it’s often what flings us back into unemployment, the unknown, the insecurity that is the true constant in our profession… and it must be celebrated.
It really is no different in the way that we make records and shoot music videos. I don’t think of the movie as being a great leap out of my current profession.
Footballers are the most vulnerable people. They exude confidence, but inside, they’re so lacking in confidence. They know they can lose form or be injured. This profession is so insecure, you wouldn’t believe it.
I’m a weensy-government conservative from the Midwest, Christian, mother of two, homeschooler, and my hobby, profession, and passion is news.
Soha does not like cooking but I like to cook. And since we are in the same profession, we have the same tastes in entertainment we like to watch the same shows on TV. The only thing that Soha is finicky about is her eating habits, which keep on changing. But we do give enough space to each other.
Being an economist is the least ethical profession, closer to charlatanism than any science.
Now I know that this energy within me is seeking more than the mate or the profession or the religion – more even than pleasure or power or meaning. It is seeking more of me; or better, it is, thank God, releasing more of me.
Acting is the perfect idiot’s profession.
I would say that one of the hardest things for an athlete, and really anybody of any profession, is that we create our identity in what we do.
Each film has taught me something new – be it about myself, my craft, my profession, people.
I was in theater when I was in elementary, middle school and high school. I didn’t know it would be an actual profession for me. I didn’t think of it as a reality.
My main profession is architect.
I’m not saying that theatre is a doomed profession, but if a person wants to stay in it very long, they’d better develop theatre skills beyond just acting.
This is a profession for me, but I started off as a self-publisher working on my own schedule and my own stuff before moving on to graphic novels with First Second Books, where there was definitely a schedule, but it was very different from monthly comics.
I hope to keep entertaining in some way until I can’t physically entertain any longer. It’s what I was born to do, and I love this profession.
Images in the 20th century had a unique power where image became divorced from reality, and often more important than reality… Buildings were judged – at least by members of our own profession – more by the way they looked in magazines than by the satisfaction people felt when using them.
As soon as you take your hobby and make it into your profession, it sort of kills it as a hobby.
Against the State, against the Church, against the silence of the medical profession, against the whole machinery of dead institutions of the past, the woman of today arises.
Though moral axioms to guide the conduct of the practitioner have existed since the beginnings of the profession of healing, Western doctors are most likely to view the Hippocratic Oath of approximately two-and-a-half millennia ago as the first codified set of statements to which they can look for guidance.
Of course, the medical profession doesn’t like D.I.Y. anything.
The profession of being a creative thinker is not so obvious.
I think a lot of writers spend years just getting up the courage to write because it seems like such a fantasy of a profession. My dad saved me all that time by making me think, ‘Oh, anyone can be a writer. It’s like being a firefighter or a lawyer.’
I rose to the top real quick, and I was surrounded by Triple H, Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels, Undertaker, these guys who were very well respected in the profession, and they wanted to work with me, so I knew I was doing something right.
A relationship takes time, and you really have to work hard at it. I’m devoted to my profession, but when I find the right guy, I’ll work just as long and hard for him.
No matter what your profession is, it’s good to scare yourself a little from time to time! It’s crucial to keep challenging yourself and to learn from people who are more accomplished than you are.
That’s one great thing about my profession, traveling to locations.
Music is my profession but learning more about racism on all sides of the tracks was my obsession.
The work that has influenced me the most in my anime profession would be, of course, ‘Blade Runner.’

If we treated politics like more of a profession, like it should be, we would all be a lot better off.
If I am to be remembered for anything I have done in this profession, I would like it to be for the four films in which I directed Spencer Tracy.
Physics is the only profession in which prophecy is not only accurate but routine.
I have to say that when I first started singing, I didn’t think it was a very noble profession. I worked for people like Robert Kennedy and I thought: ‘Wow, that’s what it’s about. That’s how you change the world.’ And then I watched that disintegrate in front of my eyes, and it was very discouraging.
I wanted to be an actress. I wanted to be known. Yes, it’s difficult sometimes. I believe that if you’re going to be in a profession like this, which is so open to criticism, to speculation, you need to have people around you who will believe in you and stand by you.
Being a writer can be a very lonely profession, but having a network of people who can sympathize with everything you’re going through – from contract issues to the terror of changing your novel from past- to present-tense – is an invaluable asset.
I had a home birth because I really believe in the body’s natural ability to give birth. The medical profession has kind of warped women’s minds into thinking we don’t know how to birth and we need doctors and epidurals and Pitocin.
An actor’s life is pretty much like any profession, full of highs and lows; only because this is the glamour world – everything gets reported.
If I wasn’t a footballer, I definitely would have been a chauffer because that is my father’s profession and he’s a person I aspire to and admire. I wanted to follow in his footsteps as a man.
We must search out totally new ways to anchor ourselves, for all the old roots religion, nation, community, family, or profession are now shaking under the hurricane impact of the accelerative thrust.
I love football. I love my profession. What I don’t like is cases where owners prioritise their interests over the club’s. Football can’t be solely about profit. Look, no one’s stupid: no one wants to lose money but nor should it be about people getting rich off people’s dreams.
Women ought to be fully guarded by law in all rights of property, labor, profession, etc.; but, roughly stated, the voting population ought to represent the fighting population.
If I wanted to do the same thing every day, I would have gone into a different profession.
The knights of the theater represented to me not only the pinnacle of the profession but the esteem in which the profession was held. To find myself, to my astonishment, in that company is the grandest thing that has professionally happened to me.
This profession has fed me creatively and allowed me to have a home life and a private life.
Rather than doing the kind of fact-checking that normally goes with a story, you ran with certain stories for not wanting to get beat. There’s a pressure that exists in your profession. I would be surprised in any honest exchange that you say that doesn’t exist.
Actresses are nightmares. I don’t hang out with any of them. That’s a problem with my profession. I try not to be like an actress.
Now, being a model and an actor, I’m trying to learn more as my profession demands it.
For me, acting is something I am passionate about. I am someone who wants to be known for who I am. If I wanted to just make money, I would’ve chosen some other profession.
When I was growing up, my father never got his profession to the house. We didn’t discuss films on the dining table.
England is the country where I learned my profession. They are the ones that trained me, they are the ones that believed in me.
The thing I really look for in this business is there are guys who are into football and there are guys who are in the profession for other reasons.
