I want to marry a good person, not his profession. If the person is good, the profession doesn’t matter. I hold honesty, simplicity, and genuineness above everything.
Throughout the human experience people have read history because they felt that it was a pleasure and that it was in some way instructive. The profession of professor of history has taken it in a very different direction.
I’m not sure I’d be as successful as I am as a woman in a profession other than in technology. Because it tends to be a bit neutral. If you have the tools, if you can code, it’s a lot more sort of merit and recognizes talent.
I frequently find after a rehearsal of a performance that I have more breath, and can walk better and climb stairs better than I could before. It’s as if I’ve expanded my lungs doing it. Basically speaking, conducting is quite a healthy profession.
It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first.
I can feel the 60S looming. In my profession, I’ve just moved along with my age. By thinking in decades, rather than whether someone’s 42 or 47, you can give yourself a whole 10 years to turn yourself around in.
It’s important to study and understand your responsibilities within any profession, but it’s particularly important for military officers to read, think, discuss, and write about the problem of war and warfare so they can understand not just the changes in the character of warfare but also the continuities.
I have repeatedly called for residency programs for teachers, like those you see in the medical profession, to ensure our educators have the training and knowledge to succeed in their classrooms and in their careers.
My profession is I’m a dissident philosopher.
When I entered the profession, I didn’t make a big deal of it. People didn’t really know I was my parents’ son.
My decision to register women confirms what is already obvious throughout our society-that women are now providing all types of skills in every profession. The military should be no exception.
It always rankled me – in law school and the legal profession – when lawyers would speak to each other in their own exclusive language.
I decided very early that I wanted to write. But I didn’t think of it as a career. I didn’t even think of it as a profession… It was the most exciting thing, the most powerful thing, the most wonderful thing to do with my life.
My mom often tells me to get married, but she gets it now that I don’t want to. Like any other mom, she is worried, but she also understands the demands of my profession. I am blessed to have a family like this.
Writing is my profession. Photography is my hobby.
Really, I am just a guy who likes his profession and travelling and good food, and that is it. I’m no different from you or anyone else.
I have had about 15 operations due to the wrestling profession, and I have a problem with an abdominal hernia.
No one working as an astronomer is shackled in chains. This is a tremendous profession. There are lots of neat people, and you get to do cool things. If I had to say something negative, it’s that there’s often a whole lot of travel that takes me away from my children. That can be a bummer a lot of times.
I’ve learned that I’ve just barely scratched the surface of knowledge of the profession, and I have deep envy of and appreciation for filmmakers who really, truly understand the physics, the design of filmmaking. They can do story and color and composition and geometry and math and science all at once.
Writing is not a profession but a vocation of unhappiness.
Acting is the most bizarre profession. You can stay in it for years and not really be in it and be waiting for someone to give you an opportunity. It’s like when I watch ‘American Idol’ and see people who have been told to believe in themselves at all costs: It’s not always a good idea.
For decades, many blacks were reluctant to pursue a profession that was associated with servitude. If you went to school, it was to become a lawyer or doctor. Older generations didn’t understand why one would spend money to learn how to chop, peel, dice, and saute vegetables when that trade could be taught at home.
If you compare me to an actor, I’m probably one of the best boxers in the profession. But if you compare me as a boxer, I’m probably one of the best actors.
I decided early that I would be a writer when I grew up. That, I thought, was the profession that went with the kind of woman I wanted to become: one who is free to do whatever she chooses.
What a beautiful art, but what a wretched profession.
As a child working in films was like a hobby but now it has turned into a profession. And with that, it’s become a life that’s full of pressure and nervousness about Box Office results, competition.
I think teaching should be an exalted profession, not a picked-on profession.
People can take, take, take from you. There are people whose profession is to do that. It’s entertainment at the cost of human lives.
I’m going to be quite choosy about singing. If I connect to a tune and like what I am offered to sing, I’ll do it. I am an actor by profession, not a singer.
If you want to go beyond that small percentage of people who are already environmentally and scientifically aware, you have to make your work somehow link with a passion, interest, or profession of someone who isn’t interested in science or nature.
Words don’t come very easily to me. Which, given my profession, is a worrying impediment.
When you see in this country and every other part of the world the huge pay disparity – in Hollywood, in every profession in the U.K., globally – and you see what is happening to women in every country socially and culturally, you can’t not be a feminist.
Flattery and criticism are always in our profession.
I think self-criticism is sort of a given when you’re an actor. It’s also about being curious and not being flippant. Anyone who accepts being in this noble profession is automatically self-critical.
You never meet other screenwriters because it’s such a lonely profession.
People get jaded in every profession, but for some reason, I feel as passionate as when I was 13 years old and just released my first album. I feel the same amount of adrenaline in my blood, and the same amount of curiosity as well. Curiosity about why I’m different.
At a certain moment, when I started doing my own shows, I felt it would be really interesting to know what is the history of my profession. I realized that there was no book, which was kind of a shock.
I’m an actress. In this sense, my profession is less complex than that of a model. True, they’re into beauty in Hollywood, and it is age-related, but you can’t put a girl with hot lips and no wrinkles and say: ‘That’s the mother of a 14-year-old.’
Being an actor means asking people to look at you. I guess I accept that. But it’s a profession in which the job is to show another world and other people. You may access it through bits of yourself, and your imagination and experience, but actually, in the end, you’re not playing yourself.
Medicine, the only profession that labors incessantly to destroy the reason for its existence.
Besides, I always thought that one of the great attractions of practising law was what I like to call the collegiality of the profession and I think that duty of collegiality applies even when we are retired.
Architecture is not a profession for the faint-hearted, the weak-willed, or the short-lived.
I’m from a country where acting is taken very seriously; it’s a very serious profession.
I believe when two people are in the same profession, they understand each other better.
I’m a capitalist by conviction and profession. I believe the best economic system is one that rewards entrepreneurship and risk-taking, maximizes customer choice, uses markets to allocate scarce resources and minimizes the regulatory burden on business.
We have indeed at the moment little cause for pride: as a profession we have made a mess of things.
I think some people have a vague idea, but the general public has no clue what the actual behind-the-scenes of filmmaking is and what this profession is.
If I didn’t have my profession, I think I would be sitting in a nuthouse. But I have been unceasingly at work, and this has been very healthy for me. So I had no need for therapy.
A profession which is seen as intellectually glamorous is often the most misunderstood when it comes to the commerce involved.
In the real estate business you learn more about people, and you learn more about community issues, you learn more about life, you learn more about the impact of government, probably than any other profession that I know of.
My parents and grandparents have always been engaged in teaching or the medical profession or the priesthood, so I’ve sort of grown up with a sense of complicity in the lives of other people, so there’s no virtue in that; it’s the way one is raised.
I am happy to join Selina Majors in providing women with a fully comprehensive training program designed specifically for them. I was trained by men, and while that worked for me, I know a more supportive community for women wanting to join our profession will increase the participation.
I love my profession. I know what I’m doing, I love travelling.
