My first job was for a blue jean company as a sitting model. I posed for 15 minutes and made $50. It was 1976.
Janice Dickinson

A book comes and says, "Write me." My job is to try to serve it to the best of my ability, which is never good enough, but all I can do is listen to it, do what it tells me and collaborate.
Madeleine L'Engle

I never was a person who wanted a handout. I was a cafeteria worker. I'm not too proud to ask the Best Western manager to give me a job. I have cleaned homes.
Shirley Jackson

I always want to say to people who want to be rich and famous: 'try being rich first'. See if that doesn't cover most of it. There's not much downside to being rich, other than paying taxes and having your relatives ask you for money. But when you become famous, you end up with a 24-hour job.
Bill Murray

One of the principal goals in my life has been to avoid embarrassing my children by doing the job I do. I hope I've managed to do that, and I hope that, with the job I'm in now, they are, if not proud, at least unembarrassed by it. I must say, my three are most agreeable children, who do nothing but delight me.
Hugh Laurie

Business is difficult. But it could be approached two ways: Seriously, or with the same way you're doing your job, with entertainment aspect, with pleasure, with fun. And we decided to try to make it as fun that we do our creativity.
Guy Laliberte

Originally the dream was about traveling and developing a job that would permit me to travel. And I decided to go into street performing because it was a traveling job; it would let me go around the world.
Guy Laliberte

The person who knows HOW will always have a job. The person who knows WHY will always be his boss.
Alanis Morissette

It is a mistake for a sculptor or a painter to speak or write very often about his job. It releases tension needed for his work.
Henry Moore

Being a rock widow is not my job, so I would hire people to do it for me.
Courtney Love

You never get every job you want.
Mackenzie Astin

My job is to look at what politics is doing, not be a politician myself.
Antonio Tabucchi

No, I'm happy to go on living the life I've chosen. I'm a university teacher and I like my job.
Antonio Tabucchi

It's the job of intellectuals and writers to cast doubt on perfection.
Antonio Tabucchi

Literature for me isn't a workaday job, but something which involves desires, dreams and fantasy.
Antonio Tabucchi

So, practice, particularly after you've attained a job, any kind of job, like playing with a four piece band, that's... an opportunity to develop.
Buddy Rich

As a young man, every bone in my body wanted to pick up a machine gun and kill Germans. And yet I had absolutely no reason to do so. Certainly nobody invited me to do the job. But that's what I felt that I was trained to do. Now no part of my upbringing was militaristic.
Pete Townshend

I don't think the Hollywood community is interested in what I can do. That's all right. I've never looked for a job in my life, and I'm not going to start now. I have plenty to keep me busy.
Mercedes McCambridge

It was a JOB; the video show was a JOB; you don't tell the Aristocrats joke at 8 o'clock at night on network tv, it would be funny though. But those guys know I like dirty stuff, I like clean stuff too.
Bob Saget

Of course, we also have the responsibility to win games and the difficulty in the job is to combine both.
Arsene Wenger
