Me and Aamir are like friends. We understand each other so well and it’s easier I think as we have same profession.
I would like to think that if I stop playing in three, four, five years time, whatever it may be, that I would still be involved in football and still have that as my profession. It is my passion and what I know.
I fought violently for the autonomy of architecture. It’s a very passive, weak profession where people deliver a service. You want a blue door, you get a blue door. You want it to look neo-Spanish, you get neo-Spanish. Architecture with any authenticity represents resistance. Resistance is a good thing.
The training of children is a profession, where we must know how to waste time in order to save it.
Every human being can relate to wanting their thoughts and their feelings to be accepted and rewarded and validated. So in that way, a stand-up is similar to almost any profession. It’s very simply just someone who wants to be heard and live authentically and express themselves.
My mom is one of my role models in a complicated way. I learned from her how to be a good mom. She was one of those natural moms who really took to it. Her chosen profession was teaching. She loves kids. But she was extremely frustrated and unhappy because for much of my life she was a stay-at-home mom.
He has made a profession out of a business and an art out of a profession.
The good news about showcasing chefs and the TV shows is they’ve attracted a lot more smart kids to the profession than 30 years ago. On the downside, though, these young chefs all say they want their own restaurant and their own TV show.
If you’re a filmmaker, and every time you finish a film, you just naturally go, ‘Oh, I could have done so much better,’ that’s not much fun, is it, really? You might as well go pick another profession if that really is how you derive satisfaction from it.
Politics, as a practice, whatever its profession, has always been the systematic organization of hatreds.
Intelligence is often viewed as a profession that steals secrets and then knits those secrets together for policymakers in order to inform their judgments.
Even in high school, music was just a really fun thing on the side. I don’t think I grasped the fact that it could be a profession.
I was born into a profession in which my love of words, chosen with care for their meaning and nuance, was extremely important, not only to me, but also to the people with whom I worked with.
Our profession is very much like going to a cocktail party, you check out the guest list.
Whichever profession you are in, the profession becomes a part of your personal life too. So, acting has become a part of me in all synergies.

I’m kind of a smaller guy in my given profession, and people always told me I’m too small, so I know how it feels to have people tell you you’ll never be anything.
I’m no longer the young woman I was playing before, and I’m in a profession where that continuum that is me is irrelevant to most people – they’re meeting me for the first time, seeing me for the first time, and they’re seeing an old woman, so that’s what I’ve got to start being.
Basically, I would be happy with any profession where I got to be creative and make things.
What I like to see is people like Beyonce. Here is a woman who is bling-a-ding. Not only does she look like that and act like that – I’ve seen her perform, and I was blown away – but she is at the top of her profession.
People are coming to you at their most vulnerable; they’re showing you the parts of themselves that they’re afraid to show: the parts that they’re not so sure about, not so secure in. And so it’s a really holy profession I think, teaching. If you do it right, it can change somebody’s life.
I make my own chocolate, I grow my own beans, and now I have something about the history of chocolate. I feel I try to go as far as I can into this profession.
Since I was a baby my goal was to be on TV because film was just impossible – you never got any Asian women in Western cinema. I grew up wanting to be in ‘East-Enders’ because film wasn’t even a dream. The community were very much like, ‘How can you want to act? It’s such a low-class profession.’
You might not think that programmers are artists, but programming is an extremely creative profession. It’s logic-based creativity.
If you want a good life, don’t succeed at anything too early or too well. And don’t choose a profession that attracts money or attention. The minute people want to see you doing what you do, you’re finished.
I’m an actor. And it is, for me, an opportunity to meet people. One of the advantages of my profession is I come into contact with many people.
I have a number of projects that I’ve been dreaming of making ever since I was a child. But I am also very open to the chances of life and the chances of my profession.
I think that’s what makes marriage work – when you allow each other to be strong in their chosen profession; when you support each other and love each other.
Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed there are many rewards, if you disgrace yourself you can always write a book.
Well, in our business, it’s a very tough profession.
One’s dream is constantly evolving, rising and falling, changing course. This happens in every job, but because I have worked in comedy for twenty-five years, I can probably speak best about my own profession.
Is advertising a profession, like law or medicine? How many new parents clutch their baby to their breast and declare, ‘I want this child to grow up to be a media planner’?
Parentage is a very important profession, but no test of fitness for it is ever imposed in the interest of the children.
For a profession that holds dear both the ability to vivisect politicians in prose and the expectation that these carved-up subjects will not complain, the media is horribly thin-skinned and vengeance-seeking when on the receiving end of criticism.
The older one gets in this profession, the more people there are with whom one would never work again.
I used to tell the players that professional football is a part-time profession. I used to tell them it gets you ready for your life’s work.
At the end of the day, the truth is that if – when – robots prevail, so many vocations will actually become close to impossible. Save for the profession of making robots, that is.
There are doctors who help people who have done bad things; there are lawyers who defend bad people. I don’t think it’s unique to my profession.
I never thought of politics as a profession.
I used to skip out of high school and go flying. It was just one of those things, I thought it was kind of a cool thing to do. I never thought about doing that as a profession, but I started checking things out and I found out there was a flight school down in Daytona Beach, called Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.
I think it’s imperative to follow your heart and choose a profession you’re passionate about, and if you haven’t found that ‘spark’ yet, if you’re not sure what you want to do with your lives – be persistent until you do.
I think struggles are part of our profession. And it’s always about overcoming these kind of moments.
Fake news has emerged a new menace, whose purveyors proclaim themselves as journalists and taint this noble profession.
One of the advantages of my profession is I come into contact with many people.

I have great emotion every time I go on stage. Nothing in life gives me the same satisfaction that my profession gives me.
Acting as a profession came to me by chance: in 1946, after the war, I was having lunch with my cousin, who was the Italian ambassador, and he asked, ‘What are you going to do now you’re out of uniform?’ I said, ‘I’m pretty inventive, and I can imitate people,’ and he said, ‘Have you thought about being an actor?’
For me, turning 65 doesn’t include walking away from my profession because of age; I love my job and the company I work for.
Being a writer is a poverty trap. I mean, it’s a terrible profession.
The threat from cyber criminals and nation states continues to grow. So we need to forge closer partnerships with industry, academia and civil society, and develop the profession to create a more diverse workforce.
I started doing theatre, and that’s when I really fell in love with the profession; I learned a lot. It felt a bit weird to go from living in New York on Broadway to university, so I kept putting it off. Then, eventually, I had to give up the place.
Painting is such an individual profession. I’m not performing. There’s no audience.
The Epistle is a correction of profession without life, and most valuable in this respect.
This profession has no rhythm to it – you’re either busy enough to fall down, or nothing’s happening!
I wouldn’t have taken up modeling as a profession. It was more of a hobby.
