Worked Quotes

I’ve always written towards movies that take place across two worlds. Most of the movies that I’ve worked on take place in two worlds, or sometimes three worlds, where you have a normal world and a fantasy world that mix and overlap. I never shy away from the series stuff in the real world. Big Fish is about mortality Picture Quote #1

The big lie is that the people who make a lot of money were the only ones that worked hard Picture Quote #1

I’ve worked with many directors, good ones and bad ones. So if I have a chance to work the good ones, I better put myself in their hands, and trust them, because that’s my big opportunity to be different, and to be better than usual Picture Quote #1

When you don’t know the rules, you break them all. It’s hard to take big risks when you know the history of an industry and what has worked and what didn’t Picture Quote #1

Madonna and I worked very closely. I was more like the big sister to her Picture Quote #1

I had a financial page to write in the Mail on Sunday where I’d give tips on shares. I worked there for two and a half years. Nothing compares to the burst of energy felt on a newsroom floor when a big story breaks Picture Quote #1

I worked for a big department store, and strangely, on my first day, they put me in charge of Christmas wrapping. I didn’t know how to wrap a present and make it not look like it fell off a truck Picture Quote #1

My mom’s brother was gay, and he actually passed away from AIDS when I was 13. He was quite a character, but he also worked at the electrical plant, so he was this complicated guy with a big laugh who would wear a trucker hat and do impressions. He was gay, but to me, Uncle Alan was just the funniest person in the world Picture Quote #1

I’m not really one for fancy, big words and poetry, and the scriptwriters worked very hard on ‘Paradise Lost’ to translate it Picture Quote #1

They think so small, they use small words. But not me, I’m smarter than that, I’ve worked it out. I’m stretching my mouth to let those big words come on out Picture Quote #1

I had a hard time with that hockey. I hadn’t grown up skating, so that was my biggest challenge. We worked on it and worked on it. But then when we first shot it, it was so hard for me Picture Quote #1

My biggest mistake was when I started up easyEverything, a chain of Internet cafes. The idea that people would go to a shop to use a computer was revolutionary in 1999. It worked for a while, but cheap technology almost killed it. One silver lining of the problems I faced was that it gave me experience of turnarounds Picture Quote #1

I worked at this bike shop called Rockville BMX, and I started going on this summer tour with this one company. One summer, we ended up in California, and I got to hang out with the guys who made ‘Freestylin’ - Andy Jenkins and Mark Lewman Picture Quote #1

I hadn’t worked for a couple of years so I thought it would be nice to earn some money and pay the bills Picture Quote #1

My background is in biology. Before getting into the family business, I worked at the Predatory Bird Research Group at the University of California at Santa Cruz, fundraising for them Picture Quote #1

It’s true that my research expertise is in biology: for example, the Ebola virus, the Marburg virus, and monkey pox, and not bacteriology as in the case of the anthrax organism. It’s also true that I have never, ever worked with anthrax in my life. It’s a separate field from the research I was performing at Fort Detrick Picture Quote #1

The summer before my third year of law school, I worked at a law firm in Washington, D.C. I turned 25 that July, and on my birthday, my father happened to be playing in a local jazz club called Pigfoot and invited me to join him. I hadn’t spent a birthday with him since I was 3, but I agreed Picture Quote #1

Martin Luther King was a misguided leader. He worked to be recognized as the leader of black America, when what black America needs isn’t a leader - it is education. Giving speeches and marching - that’s not the concept that brings about real freedom, equality and justice Picture Quote #1

Most of the black women who lived in the lower end of Vrededorp came from the countryside and were there to be near their menfolk who worked in the mines. They spoke neither English nor Afrikaans Picture Quote #1

The guy that I worked on ‘Thriller ‘ was a genius and he was 20 years old, but it was like working with a gifted 10-year-old. The guy who I worked on with ‘Black Or White’ was crazy. Michael had gone mad Picture Quote #1

I worked at an all-black swimming pool in the east side of Wilmington, I was involved in what the Negroes, I mean, blacks were thinking, what they were feeling Picture Quote #1

My mother worked in the white world, but I lived almost exclusively in a black world. I don’t think I had ever seen a white teacher until I got to high school Picture Quote #1

I guess I just always imagined that I was going to die, like, somehow on top. I was going to, like, go out in some sort of blaze of glory. I never thought about sort of fading into obscurity. And I’ve worked so hard at having a life, an identity, in obscurity and finding peace with that Picture Quote #1

I graduated from public high school. I went to the prom. I did it all. But I also worked on 30-million dollar movies with roller coasters and Michelle Pfeiffer. It’s been a very interesting and blessed life for sure Picture Quote #1

I believe in God. I got down on my knees and I said, ‘I get it. If this isn’t for me, then it isn’t for me.’ And then a week later, I started working. I worked on ‘The Following,’ I worked on ‘Elementary,’ I worked on a pilot and then I got ‘Orange.’ So literally from that moment of deep surrender, that’s when you’re blessed Picture Quote #1

I guess my parents wasn’t f***ing with me being with X. It was more less, they thought that my life was in danger. They felt it was hurting more, then it was helping. So they ended up pulling me out of the deal. It was actually a blessing in disguise because everything worked out for the best at the end of the day Picture Quote #1

I love soccer. My father is from Argentina and my mother is from El Salvador. I grew up watching Argentinean soccer. I get really worked up watching soccer. It’s in my blood Picture Quote #1

My father worked in the Post Office. A lot of double shifts. All his friends were in the same situation - truck drivers, taxi cab drivers, grocery clerks. Blue collar guys punching the clock and working long, hard hours. The thought that sustained them was the one at the center of the American dream Picture Quote #1

My family were really hard-working, blue-collar people, and I didn’t know the idea or concept of working and having fun. I thought you just worked and made money to support your family Picture Quote #1

Not all Republicans are rich, dress in three-piece suits, and have $200 haircuts. I’m somebody who’s lived from paycheck to paycheck. I’m focusing on my blue-collar roots - I’ve worked side by side with union people Picture Quote #1
