Hired Quotes

I hired a publicist once I got cast in ‘Passing Strange,’ and one of the first conversations we had was about how I wanted to handle talking about my sexuality. I said, ‘It’s never been an issue for me. I want to talk about my work, but if something about myself relates to my work, of course I’ll talk about it.’ Picture Quote #1

You think, ‘You hired me because I’m a creative artist with a vision. Don’t try and knock it out of me.’ Picture Quote #1

Proof’ is a really cool pilot that I was lucky enough to read by Rob Braggin for TNT that’s about a surgeon who’s an agnostic, tough, grounded, scientific mind and she’s hired by a Steve Jobs-type who’s just been diagnosed with cancer to focus on near death experiences and what happens when you die Picture Quote #1

Money begets money. If you don’t have that, you wait around to be hired by somebody at the mercy of others. If you have that money in your hand, you desperately try to make the best use of it and move ahead. And that’s generating income for yourself Picture Quote #1

I have always hired people of different ages. Young people and older people. People in their 70s and in their 20s. People who are fully capable of talking back to me Picture Quote #1

Many on the professional Right owe their livelihoods to a large and growing network of nonprofit donor-funded groups and for-profit consulting and direct marketing companies hired by those groups Picture Quote #1

Be serious. You’ve got to do the job you were hired to do well, but there’s always more you can do. When I was an assistant, I would say to myself, ‘You may not be an executive, but act like one.’ I would volunteer for any creative assignment - read scripts, do ‘coverage,’ write notes Picture Quote #1

As an actor, you’re pretty much a hired gun. You are reading other people’s words off of a page and doing what they want you to do Picture Quote #1

Waiting to be hired, as an actor, especially, is soul-destroying... There is always something you can do... Create something, a play reading... Anything. But don’t rely on other people to come to you. Put yourself out there Picture Quote #1

I learned from Ethel Waters, Duke Ellington, Adelaide Hall, the Nicholas Brothers, the whole thing, the whole schmear. [The Cotton Club] was a great place because it hired us, for one thing, at a time when it was really rough [for Black performers] Picture Quote #1

Frank Morley, who had worked in London at Faber and Faber, was the new head of Harcourt Brace, and he hired me to start in 1940. The early years at Harcourt were wonderful. Almost my first assignment was Virginia Woolf’s novel ‘Between the Acts.’ Picture Quote #1

In the early 90s, I was hired to write educational dramas about HIV and AIDS in the shantytowns. I did that for two and a half years, and then I was hired on other films.

AirBnB spent 5 months interviewing their first employee, before they hired someone and in their first year, they only hired 2 people Picture Quote #1

When I’m hired just to be an actress, I don’t have to worry about anything else but showing up on set, making sure I know my lines and making sure I know what I’m bringing to the character. When I’m a creator and executive producer, I have to worry about the whole thing Picture Quote #1

I was twenty-one when I was hired by Planned Parenthood. It was my first work experience outside of either temping or working for my father at his store Picture Quote #1

If you want help in starting to write memoirs, you don’t want to fall into the clutches of a famous writer who has been hired to teach at a writing workshop solely because of his name’s ability to attract students, rather than because of any teaching skill. You should not have to grapple with someone who secretly thinks you should be writing about his life rather than your own Picture Quote #1

In feature film world I’m very much...a hired hand. It’s a world of Tom Cruise, Julia Roberts, Mel Gibson - they’re able to produce and to star and it’s, that’s not my world Picture Quote #1
