I’d been playing Ted in the show for about a year as well as playing in the group in my spare time. Then, at the ‘Scrubs’ Christmas party, I offered to bring along the band to sing a song. The producers thought we were terrible – but perfect for the show.
I think, if I hadn’t grown as an actor, I wouldn’t have been offered television, let alone films.
I’ve become one of those actors who find it difficult to say ‘no’ when things are offered.
The whole New Deal was in a sense just a series of public options, some more optional than others, that offered government as an alternative to the often-flawed private market.
I owe much of my success to Seann Walsh. He kept recommending me for Live At The Apollo until eventually the producers offered me a gig.
Saying, ‘I’m going to create jobs’ is great, but before you create jobs, something has to be offered to alleviate some of the suffering now.
I don’t have any ego, and I will go and audition for parts if I’m offered an interesting script.
I visited Krakow about 10 years ago, and when you’re named Krakowski, you are very welcomed. I loved every minute of it. They had ‘Ally McBeal’ on Polish TV. People offered to drive us out to our family’s farm.
When the time came for me to go to college, there was only one scholarship that my high school offered at the time and I didn’t win that one, but that didn’t stop me. I went on to college anyway. I worked my way through it and paid my student loans for 11 years.
In 1973, I was offered a professorship at the University of California, San Diego. Although I was certainly not unhappy at Nottingham, I had been there over twenty years from starting undergraduate studies to Professor of Applied Statistics and Econometrics, and I thought that a change of scene was worth considering.
I am still looking for the modern equivalent of those Quakers who ran successful businesses, made money because they offered honest products and treated their people decently… This business creed, sadly, seems long forgotten.
Sometimes I go, ‘Wow, this is a director I really, really want to work with,’ like David Cronenberg. I haunted David Cronenberg for years before, and then he offered me a role.
I believe that the fact and the reality of homosexuality and heterosexuality and of opposite and same-gender unions should be taught in our public schools without a value judgement system also being offered.
When Alcatrazz played in Japan in early ’84, the record label offered me the opportunity to do a solo album while continuing to play in the band. I wanted the whole album to have vocals, but the record company didn’t want that. Initially, the album was released solely in Japan.
Warner Bros offered me the next Batman, and the only reason that I didn’t do it was because of The Saint.
There’s an undeniable thrill in seeing what’s most current in our lives offered back to us in fictional guise, but it soon dates and it’s never enough.
If you can work and if you’re offered a job and you don’t take it, you cannot continue to claim benefits. It will be extremely tough.
In my book I specifically discussed the structural nature of injustice and offered Nine Touchstones of Goddess ethics as an alternative to the Ten Commandments of Biblical religion.
Wise is he who enjoys the show offered by the world.
I can’t say there were parts I was offered and turned down, but there were meetings for parts that I didn’t go to, meetings I should have gone to, meetings I was advised against going to. I listened to that advice.
I was offered the Gene Hackman role in ‘The Poseidon Adventure’ four times, and I turned it down four times. I didn’t want to do that movie. I called it the upside down boat.
I remember, during an ad shoot, Anurag said to me that you are doing my film, and I was wondering do we really get films so easily. I thought you have to struggle and all. But he kept his word and offered me ‘Gangs Of Wasseypur.’
Obviously, I didn’t get looked at and didn’t get recruited by Fresno State or any other school in the nation, to be honest. It has always been my goal to go into every game and show you why you should have recruited me, why you should have offered me.
I’ve been offered ‘Celebrity Fit Club’, where you have to take off your shirt and get on a scale. I got kids, man. I’m not going to humiliate myself. I’d rather drive a cab.
My experience has offered me the sensibility that encourages me to try newer characters.
I’ve always been on the side of science that tries to help man. I play an active part with the foundations I’m involved in. Science gives hope. If it were offered to me? Never say never. But I wouldn’t kill or steal to have my sight. My blindness doesn’t define my life.
I was fortunately always offered jobs because I was so pretty. Women used to complain about it!
In France, I have lots of opportunities. Maybe now I’ll be offered films in America. It’s the encounter, with the director and the story that counts.
I read some, and then visited with people involved in this curious, exciting and somewhat misunderstood sub-culture. I met with a fang maker, who offered to fit me for an exquisite pair.
I’ve been offered starring roles in horrible movies, but I just didn’t want to do it. I don’t see why you would.
As an actress, all I can do is choose from the films I am offered.
Have you ever been offered a job by a poor person? No one has.
That’s the way this business works: if your movies do well at the box office, you will be offered more movies. It doesn’t matter if you’re a nice guy or you’re a prick. If your movies do well, there’s a job waiting for you in Hollywood. It’s not any more complicated than that.
I am ambitious to do more than what has been offered me. I want to be the best in whatever career I choose and I don’t think I can get there as an actor.
When you have a label stuck on you, people tend to believe it. If someone calls you suave and debonair, you only get offered parts in a suit and a collar and tie. It just so happens I wear them reasonably well.
