If I had never ventured beyond being a stand-up comic, then I would be sitting in my house today working on my Leonardo DiCaprio impression.
Jim CarreyPraise the green earth. Chance has appointed her home, workshop, larder, middenpit. Her lousy skin scabbed here and there by cities provides us with name and nation.
Basil BuntingWhen I play my own music, or when I play new music, there's much more stress and intensity of thinking about how I'm going to make it work!
Bela FleckI've been working so hard, I'm about to have a Mariah Carey.
UsherTo win these medals is fantastic, not just for me but for the British team and British cycling and the superb set up and hard work of the last four years to get this result today.

Edward GibbonThe workers have nothing but their chains to lose in this. They have a world to win. Workers of the world, unite!
Karl MarxWork and struggle and never accept an evil that you can change.
André GideI think it's bad to talk about one's present work, for it spoils something at the root of the creative act. It discharges the tension.
Norman MailerAs long as my body is in shape, my mind is working at its full capacity
Victoria PrincipalA new gadget that lasts only five minutes is worth more than an immortal work that bores everyone.
Francis PicabiaHis brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.

Rainer Maria RilkeHaving lived in China for 4 years, working as an HR manager in a Chinese company,
I'm somewhat uncomfortable being associated with the horde of academic locusts that have descended upon China, spent a week there, and came back to give advice as an expert on China. There are no experts on China.
Dr. Romie F. LittrellOn her waxwork model at Madam Tussaud's: Madam Tussaud's are very angry. Not only have I got new hairstyles, I've also got new tattoos.
Melanie ChisholmThree years ago I nearly finished playing. I was working in a cream cake factory to try and raise some money. Clearing trays in the freezing cold puts things into perspective.

Jose MourinhoA beautiful lady is an accident of nature. A beautiful old lady is a work of art.

Theodore RooseveltYes is the answer to that question. I've enjoyed being in government... if it would be useful for me to serve I would like to do that. [saying he would like to work for Gordon Brown despite his previous opinions of him!]
Charles ClarkeIt's good to keep in mind that prominence is always a mix of hard work, eloquence in your practice, good timing and fortuitous social relations. Everything can't be personalised.
Barbara KrugerI was a rich man; I'm broke now. I gotta go to work. But before that, I'm going to go out and do a little cowboying.
Robert BlakeFor want of me the world's course will not fail:
When all its work is done, the lie shall rot;
The truth is great, and shall prevail,
When none cares whether it prevail or not.
Coventry PatmoreEvolution is baseless and quite incredible. [Obviously not an advocate of the Richard Dawkin's work which takes evolution as a surer fact than that other people exist]
John FlemingWe started with a treatment that we worked up and developed a story that we liked.
Andrew AdamsonGet into a line that you will find to be a deep personal interest, something you really enjoy spending twelve to fifteen hours a day working at, and the rest of the time thinking about.

Larry PageAn increasing number of Canadians must juggle the demands of work with the need to care for children, or for family members who are ill or too frail to care for
Kim CampbellSome people can only be happy being a star. What happens if and when the work dries up?
Susan HampshirePeople who say that life is not worthwhile are really saying that they themselves have no personal goals which are worthwhile. Get yourself a goal worth working for. Better still, get yourself a project. Always have something ahead of you to 'look forward to' - to work for and hope for.
Maxwell MaltzI've always thought you should work to live not live to work and I've definitely been living to work so I might need to address that. [on her schedule in 2007 after apparently taking the first five months off]
Keira Knightley'The people who worked at the clubs just assumed I was a tag along girlfriend or groupie. I'd get up on stage and the audience was just like, 'Show me your tits!' I had nothing to show anyway!'
Gwen StefaniA community is a group of people who have come together, and they work and they live to try and improve the standard of living and quality of life - and I don't mean money.

Dave BarryI would most like to work wierh Mert and Marcus as they never fail to make women look absolutely flawless.
Rosie Huntington WhiteleyComing to understand a painting or a symphony in an unfamiliar style, to recognize the work of an artist or school, to see or hear in new ways, is as cognitive an achievement as learning to read or write or add.
Nelson GoodmanNicole isn't here this evening because she's working. I can say with some certainty that it's got nothing to do with Tom Cruise being in town for 'Minority Report'. Nothing at all.
Ben ChaplinThe man without a purpose is like a ship without a rudder - waif, a nothing, a no man. Have a purpose in life, and, having it, throw such strength of mind and muscle into your work as God has given you.
Thomas CarlyleThere are many challenges facing a young man: understanding women, getting into college, and working out how to use a pair of pliers.
