Coco Rocha Quotes

The director respects what they've hired you for and chosen you for: to do the part and respect what you're doing.

When you make a film, you sign a contract with somebody, and it's not only legally binding but morally binding.

Just do your job. Get in early. Stay late, and don’t complain. Fight the big fights.

When you're paid to do a job, it's better to give a few minutes more to it, than a few minutes less. That's one of the differences between doing a job honestly and doing it dishonestly! See?

It is really a puzzle what drives one to take one's work so devilishly seriously.

Whatever one is creating, one has to stick to one's guns and just do it. That is all. Put your foot down and do not let your work be compromised.

Being a professional means doing your job on the days you don't want to do it

When you're a professional you gotta do it [your job] when you don't feel like doing it.
