My career is like an artichoke. People might think that the leaves are tasty and buttered up and delicious, and they don't even know that there's something magical hidden at the base of it. There's a whole other side of me that people didn't know existed.
Katy Perry

It is a career that can be enhanced or destroyed by success.
Warren Cuccurullo

I should have been trying to build a career, rather than leaving it in the hands of somebody else.
Ray Walston

Everything I thought about acting and having a movie career has changed from what I thought when I started.
Rebecca De Mornay

Somewhere along the line, Bob said I'd better begin taking this business seriously, because, whether I liked it or not, I had a career.
Shelley Duvall

I was never that much a focus of interest in my career. I'm aware of that now, which doesn't give me a lot of pleasure.
Harrison Ford

I've been in this business for a long time at my age, I've just turned 30, and I feel like my wife's career is going incredibly well, my kids are happy and healthy in schools, we've both been able to buy a house for our parents, respectively, in the places they live.
Ryan Phillippe

I was always very grateful I was never hot. In the entire length of my career, I haven't been the most adored.
Harrison Ford

How valuable NBC Magazine was in my career is questionable.
Jessica Savitch

Oh, what a shock. My career must be slipping. This is the first time I've been available to pick up an award.
Michael Caine

To tell you the truth I am hard put to think of anyone who's career was affected significantly by making all those phone calls and I must be wrong. I must be wrong! Because it has just got to pay off!
Dabney Coleman

There's no amount of money that would make me decide something for a career.
Eva Longoria

Throughout my career, I was to be cast as a frontier girl, an aristocrat, an Arabian, a Eurasian, a Polynesian, and a Chinese.
Gene Tierney

I happen to be lucky in that I knew what I wanted to do as far as a career since I was nine years old.
Alanis Morissette

I had come to the point when I realized it was unlikely that my film career was going to move beyond a certain level of role. And I was - because I had graphic instances of it - handicapped by the success of Star Trek. A director would say, 'I don't want Jean-Luc Picard in my movie' - and this was compounded by X-Men as well.
Patrick Stewart

I never really considered acting as a career until I moved to New York.
Michael C. Hall

My career at Warner Brothers consisted of one musical short subject. I was running around in a bear skin. Very chic.
Ethel Merman

In terms of my career, having the gold definitely changed my life. The Olympics are different, you know? They're every four years and it's such a small group.
Kristi Yamaguchi

As you get older and ease your way into being a character actor you have to be comfortable with where you are in life and career, and I'm very comfortable with what I'm doing - working on projects I'm proud of.
George Clooney

Don't let negativity affect your vision. A lot of people have said harsh things, but I don't let it affect me. If anything it gives me more enthusiasm and pushes me to do better in my career so I can prove them wrong.
Nicole Polizzi
