I’ve taken a lot of time to build up the name Flavor Flav, but this could come tumbling down in 30 seconds. If you want to keep what you worked for hard all your life, then you got to do the right thing in your life.
I have worked hard since my childhood and worked as a labourer. I put my mind and heart into it.
Hard work and only hard work has paid off for me. Being a very small industry, hard work is a must. It has worked wonders for me most of the time.
We no longer think of chairs as technology; we just think of them as chairs. But there was a time when we hadn’t worked out how many legs chairs should have, how tall they should be, and they would often ‘crash’ when we tried to use them.
I worked night and day for twelve years to prevent the war, but I could not. The North was mad and blind, would not let us govern ourselves, and so the war came.
I’ve always worked very efficiently on small budgets, both in documentaries and in features.
I worked in three local news markets and in every single one of them, they said: ‘You’re a lousy anchor. We would love to renew your contract and have you be our lead reporter here, but we’re not going to have you anchor.’
I’ve worked really hard to bring something more to ‘pretty girl’ roles over the years. I consider it a challenge.
I worked at a nursing home though high school… There’s a lost appreciation for a generation that has so much to tell us when we’re so full of self-help books and doctors on TV.
Being raised Muslim, we had to get up at the crack of dawn to pray. There was no sleeping in, no getting up Saturday morning to watch cartoons because there was no TV in the house. But you got up and you worked, cleaned the house.
If anyone has the opportunity to connect the dots and look at the directors I’ve worked with, from TV to film, there are some heavy hitters, from Taylor Hackford to John Singleton.
I grew up in Fall River, Massachusetts. My background was modest, and I worked at a Portuguese bakery in town.
As an economics undergraduate, I also worked on a part-time basis in Cambridge, Massachusetts, for a company that was advising customers about portfolio decisions, writing reports.
They say women talk too much. If you have worked in Congress you know that the filibuster was invented by men.
For books are more than books, they are the life, the very heart and core of ages past, the reason why men lived and worked and died, the essence and quintessence of their lives.
I dropped out of school for a semester, transferred to another college, switched to an art major, graduated, got married, and for a while worked as a graphic designer.
I worked in a Starbucks that wasn’t very popular – before the big coffee boom in London. My boss didn’t take kindly to my incessant sitting. I was like, ‘Look, I’ve dusted everything, the stockroom is all figured out… I would rather sit now so I have the energy when a customer does come in.’
When I worked at my father’s deli in Carmel, New York when I was young, my experience waiting on customers and interacting with people all day taught me so many social skills and helped me open up.
God has blessed me on a lot of levels. Have I worked for it? Absolutely. But it still takes that blessing.
I worked as long in a fish and chip shop as I did in Parliament. I’ve had particular experiences in politics, but they’re not my only ones, and they’re not the ones that defined me.
While I’ve worked on many topics and written many books, I have not abandoned my interest in multiple intelligences.
My mom worked for Apple, and my dad owned his own business.
I succeeded on sort of chutzpah and charm. No technique at all, didn’t know what I was doing, but it worked and the character suited me.
I had an advantage over a lot of people who had gone to school and earned degrees in writing and had learned the rules for writing, so to speak. My style was just to tell a story but to tell it well, and that has worked out for me so far.
I worked with Seann William Scott on ‘Role Models,’ and his arms are tatted up. He had to come to set an hour-and-a-half early to get them covered. It’s not worth it. I want that extra hour of sleep.
The guy that I worked on ‘Thriller ‘ was a genius and he was 20 years old, but it was like working with a gifted 10-year-old. The guy who I worked on with ‘Black Or White’ was crazy. Michael had gone mad.
My dad worked on ambulances for a while; my mother had a lot of different jobs with the city.
If a script is good, you are 10 steps into the part just reading it. But my choices are not all down to my taste. It is about people you have worked with before.
We had nothing in our times. The athletes and sportsmen in those days didn’t earn much money. We worked for the applause, people’s appreciation inspired and motivated us, we ran for the country.
In my home state of Delaware, we’ve done our homework and worked hard and, as a result, we’ve made great strides in cleaning up our own air pollution. Unfortunately, a number of the upwind states to the west of us have not made the same commitment to reducing harmful pollution by investing in cleaner air.
I am a completely self-made person. It’s been a tough journey – I learnt on the job, worked 48 hours without sleeping.
Every hip-hop artist I have worked with has a respect for higher power, whether that’s church, Allah, or any sort of higher being – they all have a humbleness.
I had a whole bunch of very successful movies. I have worked with some incredible people – incredible.
I guess the first big name I worked with was Sissy Spacek, and that was really interesting just because she’s so incredible and I learned so much from just watching her. But she’s also so unassuming that I loved working with her. It wasn’t like working with a star, it was Sissy. Not a big deal.
The movie I worked on that had the most problems and interference came from the smallest indie movie I’ve ever done. I couldn’t believe what the director had to go through; he was destroyed.
I actually found ‘We’re the Millers’ one of the toughest, if I’m honest, least fun experiences of my life, which is weird. It was such a huge opportunity for me to work with the people I worked with and I feel grateful to be a part of that, but it kind of messed me up.
I never rebelled against my parents – I worked hard, I was responsible, and I didn’t go to high-school parties.
I know some people say it’s not the best to work with your family, but I have never understood that because it’s always worked so well for me.
I think I was brought up with an innate sense of responsibility because my dad was in the Foreign Office where you were in somebody else’s country, and you were aware of your behaviour. And my mum worked for the NHS, so you were aware of your responsibility to your country.
I am a firm believer in education and have worked very hard to tell young Latinos that they must go to college and that, if possible, they should pursue an advanced degree. I am convinced that education is the great equalizer.
I have worked very hard to achieve this. If others also work hard, they can also achieve as much.
I didn’t disappear; I started writing songs and worked behind the scenes.
The most scared I’d ever been was the first time I sang at a rugby match, Australia versus New Zealand, in front of one hundred thousand people. I had a panic attack the night before because people have been booed off and never worked again… just singing one song, the national anthem.
I think that burnout happens because of resentment. That notion that, ‘Wow, I worked 100 hours last week, and I couldn’t even have this thing that I really wanted.’
I worked hard at Everton.
I once dated someone who worked at McDonald’s. She came up and asked if I wanted a Big Mac.
My father worked hard, but we were still very poor; and I didn’t want anybody arguing about money, so I became the entertainer – the one who wanted everyone to be happy. I didn’t want there to be any problems.
I worked with the Neville Brothers for 40-some years on the highway, and up and down since I can remember – funk from New Orleans.
We’re here in this women’s revolution – we’re in this women’s empowerment movement worldwide – and, if anything, women should stick up for each other and be like, ‘No, she deserves everything she has, and she’s worked hard as a woman.’
My mom worked at McDonald’s, and she decided she wanted to make more money, so she got into the management program at McDonald’s. And that’s how you move up the chain. It’s not by demanding that minimum wage is raised; it’s by actually acquiring the skills. That’s the way that people get ahead in life.
Obama’s predecessor, George W. Bush, heavy-handedly provoked South American governments on any number of issues, including a rush to endorse the 2002 coup attempt in Venezuela, which only worked to steel resistance and build solidarity.
I see certain girls get the roles that I auditioned for, and I think, ‘Oh, that’s so annoying. I should have gotten that role!’ But then I have to stop myself and actually think, ‘No, she got it for a reason. She worked hard for it, and she was right for the role.’
Many people worked hard in order to create ‘Crash Landing on You.’ I am grateful to the writer, the directors, and all the production staff.
I’ve worked with children all my life.
