Creative directors can be egocentric, they say. I decide; they shout at people and harass. I don't want that.
I don't think it should be allowed for people to start working at a young age and not take the time to just be living as themselves in the real world, especially now in this new age of new media and the obsession with celebrity. I think it's a real crime.
I was sleeping on editing room floors for $300 a week.
It does not matter whether I am in Hong Kong or Sao Paolo - people always want to talk about toxic bosses and what to do about them.
Your bullshit culture licking can't stop the death watch ticking.
All paid jobs absorb and degrade the mind.
When you have Van Gaal in charge, it is a fact that there is fear in his team. The players have a fear for mister Van Gaal. That is not always good.

Work has become like prison because of the way we treat it. If you are trapped with people who you do not care for, it feels like a concentration camp.

I was put in a position with a man that, whenever he would call me at work or at home, work-related, he would say jump and I'd say how high and I would jump.
Many businesses find their culture organized around a dangerous fault line known as 'us and them,' with executives on one side and employees on the other. The divide is both real and expensive.
The schedule on TV is crazy. You could not work for two days but then work from 4 A.M. to 1 A.M. the next day. I definitely wanted more family time.
I went to high school with girls that would daydream about what strip club they wanted to work at. That's one of the sad things about Vegas.
I've always been terrified of getting used to something that is actually killing me-a relationship or a job. But in those cases, you can count on a friend to say something. The Internet is different, because all my friends are in the same relationship.
