When I first stepped into literature twenty-five years ago, I wanted to work on behalf of the oppressed, the working masses, and it seemed to me, mistakenly, that I would not find them among the Jews. – S. Ansky
Lord Chamberlain’s readers or controllers, which were a handful of people working directly to him, were a very assorted group of people and some of them tried very hard to be as liberal as they could. – Timothy West
Movie stars are doing TV series, and former TV stars are doing guest shots. Everybody gets bumped down the line. That’s affected everyone in the industry. I’ve been lucky; I’ve stayed busy. I’ll cross my fingers until it’s my turn to be sitting around, not working. I’m sure that’ll happen, too. – Zeljko Ivanek
The day I woke up and Reddit was working on its own was just the most incredible feeling. – Steve Huffman
Honestly, all the sweets and bad stuff on set don’t really call to me because I’m working so much. I’ve trained myself to stay away from sugar. – Taylor Schilling
It’s difficult to find a genuine weakness that makes you appear competent. For instance, telling your interviewer that your weakness is working so hard that you have trouble prioritizing your family life is a little too cliche and comes across as disingenuous. – Travis Bradberry
Slack is gratifying to work on in the same way that Flickr was. The mission is to make people’s working lives simpler, more pleasant, more productive. – Stewart Butterfield
I’ve been wanting to have a child since Dashiell was 1, but I was working too much, and there was a lot going on in my relationship. – Sophie B. Hawkins
I was interested by the idea that artists working in a totalitarian dictatorship or tsarist autocracy are secretly and slightly shamefully envied by artists who work in freedom. They have the gratification of intense interest: the authorities want to put them in jail, while there are younger readers for whom what they write is pure oxygen. – Tom Stoppard
You really just have to come in and build the spirit up of your team by working them everyday, showing them examples of what they’ve done and reinforce their work. – Scott Brooks
I’m a bit of a shopaholic. I’ve been working in the Bollywood film industry since I was 17, and I have always been financially independent, but I think I would be useless looking after my own money. – Shilpa Shetty
I’ve looked after my money. As I started working around my third birthday, my first check went straight to the bank. – Samantha Barks
The weird thing about working in television is that you only see the people that you’re in scenes with. – Sara Ramirez
I’ve always wanted to act and I grew up a little on film sets when my dad was working as an actor. – Saoirse Ronan
Mandatory arbitration clauses I think, more often than not, work to the detriment of working people. – Thomas Perez
There’s an abundance of exposure when you start working in American films. Inevitably you become a brand and that has to be controlled. – Tom Hardy
I recognize how lucky I am as an actor. I’ve been working as an actor since I was 9 years old. – Sara Rue

‘Ray Donovan’ is such a revelation to everybody who’s working on it, and it’s only getting better. – Steven Bauer
I absolutely love working with my dad because there is such an ease about it, and I also love his company. – Samuel West
I’ve had wonderful collaborators. They’re very different, just as actors are. Working on a show with Nathan Lane is different from working on a show with Chita Rivera. It keeps you on your toes because it’s different every time. – Terrence McNally
For me, writing is 75 percent procrastinating and 25 percent actually sitting down and working. – Zooey Deschanel
We do recognise that there are areas where the current financial services market, the banking market, just isn’t working for chunks of the British economy. – Vince Cable
‘Mr Selfridge’ is a lot more accessible than shows like ‘Downton.’ Everyone knows the store, but not everyone knows the story. Having this store as the backdrop with all of society working under one roof, I think it really captures people’s imaginations. – Zoe Tapper
