Sometimes you learn more from failure than you do from success, and in some ways it’s better to have failure at the beginning of your career, or your life Picture Quote #1

My dad’s family is part British and Austrian, and my mother’s family is from Goa, which is in the south of India. I looked different from everyone else, which now is such a blessing. It was harder at the beginning of my career Picture Quote #1

At the beginning of my career, as a boy from Peru in London, suddenly discovering British culture and society, I looked so much at the work of the photographers Cecil Beaton and Norman Parkinson, which seemed to represent a wonderful vanished grandeur of my new country Picture Quote #1

I’ve always known from the beginning of my acting career that you only get an acting job if you’ve got something to learn about it. If you don’t do it well, you’ll be condemned to doing the same role over and over and over again. If you do it mediocre, you’ll have to do it again Picture Quote #1

Circumstances have rarely favored great men. A lowly beginning is no bar to a great career. The boy who works his way through college may have a hard time of it, but he will learn how to work his way in life, and will usually take higher rank in school and in after life than his classmate who is the son of a millionaire Picture Quote #1

The beginning of my political career was not promising. I ran for junior class president at Shortridge High school and was runner up. I ran again in the senior year with the same result.

In the beginning of my career, I wanted to be chased by girls more than anything - that’s why I got the guitar. By the time we were in ABBA, the music was the only important thing Picture Quote #1

I’m married to Kevin, a photographer whose career has put him on the campaign trail with presidential candidates and sent him on assignment to far-flung places for long periods of time. It was sometimes rough when our children were small, and I was beginning to write in earnest Picture Quote #1

Because most of my career in the classroom has been at art schools (beginning at Bennington in the 1970s), I am hyper-aware of the often grotesque disconnect between commentary on the arts and the actual practice or production of the arts Picture Quote #1

Modeling in Europe at the beginning of my career was pretty hard, with the constant traveling and uncertainty as to where I was going to be from one day to the next Picture Quote #1

At the beginning of my career, my desire to understand was associated with a profound desire to act, with the wish to influence opinion and policy; but, over the years, this motivation has come to be of secondary importance, far behind my desire to understand Picture Quote #1

First and foremost, I consider myself a storyteller. And I’m endlessly fascinated with people, with what they do and why... and how they feel about it. Which means I’m interested in romance fiction. I was drawn to it, as both a reader and a writer, at the very beginning of my career. It’s my kind of storytelling Picture Quote #1

I love it all. I don’t want to go through my career with one hand tied behind my back. I love making kids happy. I love the midnight audience. I like intense dramas. And I like high-adrenaline action films Picture Quote #1

Being the son of a filmmaker, you are aware of a career as a director. You don’t think of it as just movies, but as a life Picture Quote #1

Simply being a guest on David Letterman’s show has been a highlight of my career. I never dreamed that I would follow in his footsteps, though everyone in late night follows Dave’s lead.

I just lucked into this weird, little obscure cameoesque film career. I just love being a part of film history Picture Quote #1

It’s the best thing ever - I love being a mom. This is my only child. My career was a priority earlier in my life, but now my son is definitely the priority Picture Quote #1

I’m not going to lie to you: being Speaker of the State Assembly is the best job I’ve ever had in my entire career. But you know, I got into politics ‘cause I wanted to make a difference, and I was always raised that one person could make a difference Picture Quote #1

At the very beginning of my career, when I opened my business in Italy, I was also a ranked tennis player. I had won many tournaments. To be an athlete was my first choice. Second choice: designer. However! There was more money in being a designer at that time Picture Quote #1

In my career I have never felt that my being a woman was an obstacle or an advantage. I guess I’ve been oblivious Picture Quote #1
