I hope my career will be long-term. It's not something I'm taking for granted, but we try to plan that way.
A career is forward planning.
I've come to realize your career is all about the choices you make. Every single one matters.
I think that there was a period of time - and I would reckon it was about 12 years - where I was just determined to see if I could build a career for myself.
I'm hoping that other people can learn from me, both the mistakes I've made or the opportunities I've had, or for the decisions I've made: for instance, not to go and take a lot of different jobs in a lot of different places, but to stay in one place for most of my career.
I have proved myself as a complete package, so people can be more confident about investing in me, and I do expect a little more trust from the industry members.
When I think of my career and why I leaned in, it comes down to basic survival.
I don't want to do a film where I have a ten minute role.
I do not understand players going to China at the age of 27 or 28. Those guys are at the peak of their career. That is a waste, really. You only get one career. I sort of understand players who are already in their 30s.
I am a writer. I could not afford to take 15 months off from my writing career to play detective.
One has to be fully committed to one's career. Otherwise, there's no point.
That $27,000 that a young player will now get just for making the main draw at the Australian Open is huge. It can set them up for a couple of months which at that level you really do need that kind of help. It sounds like a lot of money, but when you're travelling the world trying to make it as a tennis player, it doesn't last long.
The biggest mistake that you can make is to believe that you are working for somebody else. Job security is gone. The driving force of a career must come from the individual. Remember: Jobs are owned by the company, you own your career!
This is a very short-lived career. I have to do what's best for myself. I have to do what's best for my career and being on top for as long as possible.
There is a short window at the beginning of one's professional life, when it is comparatively easy to take big risks. Make the most of that time, before circumstances make you risk averse.
I'm trying to have some longevity in this business. If that means not working for a while and just picking the right job, so be it.
Careers very rarely are a waste of time; jobs usually are.
I've had a long career and I want to continue to have a long career. The way to do that is not to go away.
If it was really successful, it was a life calling, a career I was excited about doing, so I didn't think the overall risk was anywhere near as high as what the reward was.
We launched our #WomenWhoWork initiative to show the world what today's modern, professional women really look like. They're invested in their careers, but they're also passionate about priorities outside the office.
I wanted to have a career that would last a hundred years if possible.
My career is my girlfriend.
The trouble is, the older you get, it's hard to find time to make a film: it's a year to write, a year to get money, a year to make it, a year to edit. It's four years of your life.
In terms of my career, I am glad about the steps and moves that I have made.
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.
