I was very proud and grateful to be the first African-American woman in the position. I thought it said a lot about our country that we had back-to-back African-American Secretaries of State, Colin Powell and then me. I also thought it said a lot about President Bush that he didn't see limits on the highest ranking diplomat in terms of color. It's a hard job, but really the best one in government.
After Survivor, I was driving across country and moving to San Francisco, going to get a job interning at an ad agency. And then they asked me to read for this movie.
Staying at home with your kids is probably one of the hardest jobs, emotionally, physically and mentally.
I got rid of my glasses and they changed my hair. That's really all they did. They went shopping for me, so the clothes are different too. It wasn't like Extreme Makeover where I got a nose job or anything.
You take the job very seriously and between action and cut, that's where your focus should be. And then there's a lot of levity in between and a lot of good fun.
Masochism is a valuable job skill.
If you don't have a job, you don't have a fear of losing it. You fear having to get one.
Consider Palin for President? The most powerful job on earth? You don't give the dumb cheerleader the Uzi. That's in the Bible.
The only job that was ever of interest to me other than filmmaking is architecture.
The job of the press is to encourage debate, not to supply the public with information.
Since I also act, sometimes I get over my resentment and commit to the pitch as an acting job.
Not everybody is talented for doing research. I think many women prefer to look for an easier job after their dissertations because it is very demanding. You have to be mobile. You have to move to different places for your post-doc training. And if you aren't successful, it isn't a very pleasant job, either.
My relationship with my daughter is gonna affect her relationship with men for the rest of her life... Sometimes I'm walking with my daughter. I'm pushing her in the stroller, and sometimes I just pick her up and stare at her, and I realize, my only job in life is to keep her off the pole.
I took part in a theatre festival in Massachusetts two summers after I graduated from college. Then I was in Los Angeles thinking: "I'm going to go to New York." I'd decided that I would not have a chance of a film career, so I was about to make the move. I bought a plane ticket and found a place to live in New York, packed my bags and of course the universe "told me" that I was not meant to go. Suddenly, a week before I was supposed to leave, I had three job offers and one of them was my first movie.
A cook's job in my opinion is to be creative and push the boundaries of their cuisine and never stop experimenting.
Teachers are out there with a very difficult job, which they pursue with tireless dedication.
The truth is that in my job, becoming old and becoming extinct are one and the same thing.
It's not a bad day at work when you just have to take your shirt off for a big franchise movie. There are worse jobs out there!
If I knew that 3D was going to be such a big deal, I would have gotten that boob job 10 years ago.
That's why I like my job so much, because at the end of the day they're fruits of labor that you don't pick very easily. And I love that.
Writing is an art but also a craft, which means it's a job. I don't teach. This is how the groceries get on the table. You sometimes make creative sacrifices to get the job done. All that said, I'm looking forward to getting out of the two-book-a-year schedule I'm on and to getting some self-indulgence going.
Looking to the future I see in the further acceleration of science continuous jobs for our workers. Science will cure unemployment.
My father announced early on that he didn't want his sons to be "country club bums." And for a number of reasons, I bore the brunt of that - I have an older brother and two younger brothers. So he had me work in all my spare time. I started out picking dandelions, shoveling stalls, milking cows, building a fence - whatever dirty job was out there. That's a big deal, because you learn things working that you don't learn in school.
Just as important, we need a new dedication to opening avenues for employee participation and motivation through profit-sharing and innovative programs of job enrichment.
The church's job is to equip the saints for works of service in the world.
