We didn't think much in the air corps of a fellow who wangled a cushy job out of his C.O. by buttering him up. It was hard for me to believe that God thought much of a man who tried to wangle salvation by fulsome flattery. I should have thought the worship most pleasing to him was to do your best according to your lights.
It's management's job to know.
This is not our job, but we always follow the actions of our European partners closely and we wish them luck.
It is well known, widely known that the US President-elect [Donald Trump] has publicly spoken in favour of normalising Russian-American relations. We cannot but support this. Of course, we understand that it will not be an easy job, taking into account the degree to which Russian-American relations have degraded. But we are ready to cover our part of the way.
We had a very good situation in 2005. The common budget had a volume of 80 billion dollars per year. Thousands of jobs were created in Germany by Russian investments. At the same time, a large number of German companies invested in Russia. There were countless cultural and social contacts.
We have good personal relationship with President Obama, our relations are quite frank and business-like. And this is quite enough to do our job.
Our anti-crisis policy is aimed at supporting domestic demand, providing social guarantees for the population, and creating new jobs. Like many countries, we have reduced production taxes, leaving money in the economy. We have optimised state spending.
If we use our policy instruments wisely with regard to broadband, we can do some very practical things to make 'growth and jobs' a reality in the less-developed and rural regions of Europe, too.
The issue for me is American competitiveness, and how do we best create a climate here that allows international capital to come to these shores to create jobs.
A radio play actually ended up being the first acting job I ever had. A lot of times when I'm on camera, I'm playing characters that are more like myself, and I don't get to do a lot of real character work. But when you're doing animation, you are the very epitome of colorful characters. I think I'm just really into make believe.
Once your acting job is over, you just hope they have a good editor and they put together a good film.
Dune was really my first Hollywood job. It was such a small part, but I opened the movie. I was about 19 years old and I had to make this speech, and I didn't understand most of the words because they were, you know, words from Dune.
Cricket is not like a government job where retirement age is fixed at A cricketer can retire at 30 or 60; it's up to the player.
When you're working as an actor, you don't think that when you get out of school, it's going to be so hard to get a job. Just to get a job. Any job. Whatsoever. You don't think that people are going to see you in a certain way.
I haven't seen most of what I've done. I can't even list them. Most television jobs. I haven't seen a lot.
I like to put a little spin on traditional styles as I see them now, probably somewhat inspired by my current job on Boardwalk Empire.
You can't compare any job or any friendship or anything to another. I think if you do, it's kind of a recipe for disaster.
I've been touring every year since the band broke up. It's my job. It's what I love to do. So I'm all good with it.
Everything I've done feels like I'm just as much a part of it as if I was the producer. It's still the same job: all of us together figuring out the common good for a song. That's the only thing that matters. It's not like, "I'm the boss, and I'm gonna tell you what to play."
I've always been the high harmony singer. It's never my job to know the verses! But I know the chorus of every song ever made.
In my job I meet many outstanding, world class, British based companies. But we need more companies and more jobs in the companies we have.
Most of my confidence came from being with ladies, because I certainly wasn't getting any acting jobs.
Why do writers, say, give up a job in economics and decide to write poetry? Or, why do they give up a job in a bank and decide to paint, like Krishan Khanna? They want to convey something.
For me, the day job comes first. That's why I call myself a diplomat who writes, not a writer who masquerades as a diplomat. If the day job demands it, I won't write at all. I write in what I call 'the crevices of my day job', and that comes only on weekends.
I resist thinking of myself as a teacher. I think of myself as a writer who has pulled a fast one and hoodwinked this institution into giving me a job and health insurance.
