Werner Herzog Quotes

I don't believe in that kind of pragmatic career ladder stuff.

Nothing is a career move. Everything I've done this year has so not been a career move.

There is absolutely no planning and strategising involved in my career graph.

I never felt my career was going backwards.

I really moved through my career based on curiosity about something. I never looked at a title and said, 'I want that.'

From my experience, I think that every actor has to make sure that they're in charge of their own career somehow or other.

I've seen what can happen to an actor when he's just working for the sake of working. All of a sudden it's ten years later, your career's happened, and you haven't had any control.

You have to think of your career the way you look at the ocean, deciding which wave you're gonna take and which waves you're not gonna take. Some of the waves are going to be big, some are gonna be small, sometimes the sea is going to be calm. Your career is not going to be one steady march upward to glory.

I think it's really important to remember that it's a long life, and it's a long career. In a perfect world, your career will be long. It does not begin and end with any one job. The point is to continue to have longevity in your career.

Have a goal. Know where you want to end up. Knowing where you want to end up is a lot easier than figuring out how to start and how to get there. You will figure out how to get there. Do not chart your career. Trust me; you do not want to chart your career.

My career is not well thought out. Every choice has been instinctive and, quite literally, impulsive in many ways.

My whole career has been completely random and haphazard.

Our career had a sort of funny shape.

My whole mission is to have a long, interesting career, not a short spiky one.

I would rather have a career where I improve year after year than go to the top and then decline. There are a lot of strikers that reached the top before 25, but after 25, they went down.

I always focus on what is next in my career.

If you'd asked me at the start of my career I would have said I was going to be a manager. I may still be in future, but there seemed to be an expectation it was a natural progression for me.

You never know the way your career takes.

Maybe I'd be in a different place in my career if I'd had that 10-year plan, a lot of people went at it with this voracity that I never had. My only voracity was to have fun and to be in the mix.

Don't just let your career happen to you. You need to be strategic about how you define your leadership journey and where that takes you.
