Integrity is the foundation of any successful career.

It was pretty frightening because as we all know, when large, famous groups breakup, a lot of the members don’t survive in solo careers.

The time to think about personal achievement is at the end of your career.

A competitive edge has helped me through my career.

You rarely come across the complete footballer, but Scholes is as close to it as you can get. One of my regrets is that the opportunity to play alongside him never presented itself during my career.

I never thought a career as a musician was possible.

[Meeting Mandela] was the highlight of my career; to meet such a great man and a strong man and such a passionate man about sport and life will always stay with me.

In my career, there’s many things I’ve won and many things I’ve achieved, but for me, my greatest achievement is my children and my family. It’s about being a good father, a good husband, just being connected to family as much as possible.

I have earned enough money in my life. When I started my career, for about 10 years, I told myself I want to make money. Now, I just want to do different roles.

The wickets I have played on for my whole career, most of them have been to suit fast bowlers in Australia.

I’m happy to try any genre, from drama to comedy and anything in between. Although, to be fair, for most of my career, I’ve been at the mercy of what people are willing to put me in.

I think ‘Saturday Night Live’, starting in the 1970s, really gave women an outlet to be funny. A lot of those women went on to have film careers, from Kristen Wiig now to Tina Fey and Gilda Radner.

I have never really been confident about my career at any stage.

Your attitude is the most important thing in your career.

When you look back at your body of work, no matter what your career path, by the time you hang ’em up, if you can say, ‘This place is in better shape than when I started,’ then you did good.

I am only 33, I’ve got a lot to do. This is the first half of my career. I’m looking forward to the future and I’m proud about the past.

The moral is that a career can be gone in an instant. And all you have in this world are the people you love.

I never got into politics for it to be a career.

I have had the greatest wrestling career in the history of pro wrestling.

Before I got into stand-up, I used to be a hip-hop dancer in a crew, and my name was J. Smoove, and my partner was J. Groove.

Everyone liked me when I went up on the stage at a talent search in elementary school, and that’s when I decided to become a music artist.

I’ve definitely been very lucky in my career. I’ve been very blessed

I’m always looking for something that’s different, and that’s how I want to continue my career

I think the most challenging thing for me in my career has been overcoming people’s perception of me. I’ve always been in a box, and I think breaking out of that box is very difficult

Living in South Africa has had a very profound impact on my career.

I’ve always looked at directing as the next step for me in my creative career, and after spending the better part of the last decade on a television set absorbing as much as I could from in front of the camera, I’m now eager to learn as much as I can from behind it.

I’ve been playing both sides of the law my entire career. It’s not really surprising for me to be doing opposing sides simultaneously. I would argue that even though my character on ‘Hawaii Five-0’ originated on the wrong side of the law, I’d say he’s worked his way over to the good side.

You should choose organisations that are going to be flexible and supportive and recognise people are going through different stages in their careers and actually need different sorts of support.

I was blessed with a long career where I won gold medals for myself and my country. Nothing stands out as a disappointment.

Life and career are the same thing. Every life has to have a plot and a plan. You have to recognize this early and be quite cold-blooded in the discovery and articulation of that plot.

I went up to the top of the career ladder and I came down again, I am past all that.

There are a lot of people in Congress who would never have made a great career or fortune in any other profession. But after they spend a while hanging out with the rich guys, they begin to feel they’ve been undervalued, and that an eventual seven-figure income as a lobbyist isn’t just an opportunity, it’s their due.

The key to success for any woman who wants to have a really serious career and a family is to marry a guy who is going to take at least half the responsibility for the house and kids – and sometimes more than half.

And I know I’m paranoid and neurotic, I’ve made a career out of it

There’s more student debt than credit card debt! Everywhere I go, I run into young people trying to build careers while they keep shelling out money on their education loans. If the economy is looking for a new generation of home-buyers, I can’t imagine they’ll get it from these folks.

In architecture, you arrive so late. I look at doctors, lawyers I know, and they’re all buying boats and bailing out at 62. My career is just getting started

For years Paul Scholes has been one of the best players in the Premiership. He’s incredible. He has always been under-rated throughout his career. He’s a team player, a one and two-touch footballer who makes good decisions on the pitch and makes his team play

With what I’ve already achieved in my career – winning trophies and playing in finals, important matches against Real Madrid and Barcelona, winning the Europa League and the Super Cup, and in the Champions League – sometimes you’ve earned the right to say something.

Some players are more concentrated on what they will do after their football career and want to make sure their lives are financially settled. I prefer to play in big teams earn a little less money and win trophies

I am happy that my career has been successful and I want to finish at the highest level possible.

My core definition of success is my family. They provide me with all the support I need to feel good, both in and outside of my career.

In my whole career, all I wanted was acceptance from Kid Cudi. I don’t care about anything else! This dude saved my life.

I’m a fan of how Zinedine Zidane ended his career, right after a World Cup

The early part of my career was the 1990s, and I was living in New York working as an actor. It was the world I was in. A lot of companies had a great deal of money.

I played in different positions as a kid, and it helped me learn different parts of the game, but I found that I was always scoring goals, and that continued as I got older. I’ve always enjoyed scoring, and it seemed to come naturally. Fortunately, that has carried on into my professional career.

I’d never say I will stay at Spurs for the rest of my career, I would never say that I would leave Spurs.

I don’t want to come to the end of my career and have any regrets, I want to be the best I can be.

It depends on how my football career goes, but when I am finished, I would love to go the NFL and be a kicker. Even if I got to play just one game, it is something I would like to do.

In Brazil, we think we can help by using our image, the fact that we are very well known, to help others. I think lots of footballers want to do something, but many don’t know how.

I would love to have a career like Zinedine Zidane. He stopped playing, took some time, realised he liked coaching, and started working in the youth academy. I could follow a similar path.

I have overcome many difficult moments in my career.

Music reality shows are a good thing, especially for those seeking a career in music.

My father was a Foreign Service officer, a diplomat and an Arabist who spent virtually all his career in the Near East, as it was called in the State Department. So I spent most of my childhood among the Israelis and the Arabs of Palestine, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Egypt.

The life of an actor is very hard irrespective of the continent you are in. It is doubly hard when you are only eligible for minority roles.

I’m an international actor, but at the same time, I’m also a Bollywood actor, even though most of my career has been abroad. However, I’ve always kept in touch with Hindi cinema.

In the 30 years of my career, I have explored all possible mediums, except radio.

My father was a very popular singer and stage actor during his time, in the 1950s. But he didn’t take any formal lessons in music, which was probably why he insisted I study music so I could get a proper base and build a strong career in it.

I got some time off from international cricket so I could come back to India and reflect on what was not going right for me.

I am happy to playing against teams like South Africa and Australia early on in my career. It is going to make me stronger as a cricketer.

When a highly successful leader retires after a long career, it is very unlikely that his successor will be of comparable caliber. Anyone of similar ability and drive would have gone somewhere else, instead of waiting in the wings for years for a chance to show his own leadership

I think it’s a mistake to work on success in career. I’ve worked on my passions obsessively. How can I say what I want to say more precisely than the last time I said it? Success is such an elusive concept. When you work for it, I think you get it in a way you might regret it.

It has been the political career of this man to begin with hypocrisy, proceed with arrogance, and finish with contempt

I worked at my high school newspaper at Andover, which came out weekly, unusual for a high school paper. Then my first day at Penn I went right to the ‘Daily Pennsylvanian’ and pretty much spent most of my college career working both as the sports editor and then editor of the editorial page.

I just thought acting would be something to help out with my student loans, but my first year as an actress, I made more money than my parents. That’s when I realized it could turn into a career. After that, I put everything I had into it.

In my career, there have been roles I haven’t taken because someone involved with the project gave me a bad vibe. I don’t care how much money is on the table: No job is worth feeling uneasy every day.

When I started in the mid-’90s, the goal was really to shoot for a film career and stay there.

I never did a day’s work in my life, it was all fun

Now I understand why people do drugs, why people drink, and why people go crazy. As the success level goes up and up and up, the further detached I get from everybody else. Luckily, with my girlfriend, everything is gravy because I brought her into it. I brought her in and she’s very hands-on with my career.

Being an actress wasn’t a plan at all, so what’s happened to me is very strange.
Life isn’t very normal, even though I’m still very much a normal girl. I ride the subway, I ride the bus, and all of that.

I could have easily never worked again after ‘Precious.’ I could be back at my receptionist job and no one would be surprised, but I’m having a very crazy little career that no one thought would happen. Although that was never the plan.

Most of my life, I wanted to be a therapist, but then I just decided that I didn’t want to be in charge of giving people advice. I want to know everything there is to know about psychology. But a therapist? No.

You know, I had a couple hundred jumps in my career, and I made most of them, but the ones they show over and over are the ones when I crashed.

No, that is the great fallacy: the wisdom of old men. They do not grow wise. They grow careful.

I really didn’t think it was it, especially because immediately I started getting feedback from people who had known people who had had the injury. I got a call from (Cleveland first baseman) Eduardo Perez relatively soon after the injury, and he said he came back and felt as good as new. I know there are some NFL quarterbacks, too. (Dan) Marino did it and came back as good, or better. I believe Walt Weiss had his career ended, but I’m 30. I think Walt was a little bit further along.

The difference between a job and a career is the difference between forty and sixty hours a week.

Music is by no means something I was like, ‘I’m going to make a career out of this!’ It’s the only thing I know how to do, so it was more like, ‘I hope to God I can make a career out of this!

Early in my career, my 3-, 5- and 9-irons performed differently than my other irons. But I adapted and made them work.

When I was young I would run for fun and I didn’t know back then that this would be my career.

I feel very privileged. But what I really hope for young people is that they find a career they’re passionate about, something that’s challenging and worthwhile.

I consider myself a laborer, building my career brick over brick under the sun.

If you wish to achieve worthwhile things in your personal and career life, you must become a worthwhile person in your own self-development

People who take a long view of their lives and careers always seem to make much better decisions about their time and activities than people who give very little thought to the future.

To me, the most important artists in my career are Arcangel and Balvin. Arcangel gave me the push, the respect in the streets

Sir Alex has a special place in my life. In fact, he was the main man. I was not famous, I was not a star. I arrived at Old Trafford as just another young talent. He was the one who told me to do all the right things. He gave me the opportunity to play in one of the biggest clubs in the world. So he is one of the most important people in the world for me. I worked with Sir Alex for a few years and I know he deserves ­everything that he has achieved in his career. He works so hard, he is clever, he has experience, he is a human guy.

The high point of my career was winning the Champions League. No one will ever erase that from my memory, in the same way that no one will ever erase the fact that I did it in a Manchester United shirt.

I used to imagine it. I used to pretend that my Peugeot driving to the gym in the rain in Dublin was a Ferrari on the Vegas strip. And now that I have that? I can’t even describe that feeling. That’s why I like the best – the best cars, the best food, the best watches.

My whole career has been from scratch, so I never took it for granted that people care and support what I do.

There are times in the career of every young English footballer when they simply need to take their chance to establish themselves.

In the periods of my career when I stopped passing the ball forward or when I stopped looking for the risky pass that might open up a defence, the consequences were the same. The manager stopped picking me. I got back into the team when I went back to doing it the way he wanted.

I’m never the kind of person who’s sitting at home reading the charts and basing how I feel about myself or even my career on stats. I’ve always based it on, ‘Am I doing the best that I can do?

On the personal front, obviously, you know, this industry fragments a lot of families. If there’s one thing I’ve learned with my children, teaching them how to cook early on in life has brought them closer to my industry. So if they’re gonna follow it as a career, they know how to cook.

Even before Snapchat, you go back into my career from Day One or interview people that knew me for 25 years, they’re going to tell you I’ve been DJ Khaled my whole life.

Ever since I was a kid, I wanted to be a marine biologist. As you go through the grind and the distraction of a career, it’s easy to lose sight of your dreams.

I almost sabotaged my career. ‘The Fast and the Furious’ didn’t let me, and I’m grateful now. That franchise gave me the opportunity.

My parents never looked at my acting as a career. They saw it as a way to help provide for the household.

You have to keep learning, keep doing those things every single day, and you learn more and more no matter if you’re in your second year of your career or in the 18th year of your career, you’re going to be learning.

Throughout my whole football career, I have always known I wasn’t the fastest guy.

I know that sounds arrogant, but you can’t not be special and have a 30-year career.

I don’t believe that the public knows what it wants; this is the conclusion that I have drawn from my career.

He knows nothing; and he thinks he knows everything. That points clearly to a political career.

My career taking off, these h jogging in place.

I’m not arrogant enough to look back on my career and criticize my choices. It’s really not my place.

My one big regret is that I didn’t play on for ten more years.

I have frequently been questioned, especially by women, of how I could reconcile family life with a scientific career. Well, it has not been easy.

I knew when my career was over.

I knew when my career was over. In 1965 my baseball card came out with no picture.

Look, whenever I hear or read I’m beautiful, I simply don’t understand it … I’m certainly not beautiful in any conventional way. I didn’t make my career on beauty.

My greatest ambition is to have a career without becoming a career woman.

I probably hold the distinction of being one movie star who, by all laws of logic, should never have made it. At each stage of my career, I lacked the experience.

This is my career highlight. Getting to the fourth round in the U.S. Open in my first year in the U.S. Open and first year on the tour.

I didn’t leave bodybuilding until I felt that I had gone as far as I could go. It will be the same with my film career. When I feel the time is right, I will then consider public service. I feel that the highest honor comes from serving people and your country.

I never set out to make men a career; it just happened that way.

Men are my life, diamonds are my career.

I understand that the results I’ve had in my career, or I’m having now, they are very good. And that gives me confidence, of course, but I do not feel invincible.

I’m not trying to turn into Eddie Murphy, and just do kids movies the rest of my career. I’m going to still do a wide variety of movies, as well as do hardcore rap.

I think if you do not enjoy your time, your life, if you do not live intensely and do not spend time with your family, in one way or another it will be reflected in your career

The moral is that a career can be gone in an instant. And all you have in this world are the people you love.

I love football and it’s the sport I would really like to play. I’ve said on national television here that I would really love to play for one of our football clubs when I finished my tennis career

I am only 33, I’ve got a lot to do. This is the first half of my career. I’m looking forward to the future and I’m proud about the past.

The moral is that a career can be gone in an instant. And all you have in this world are the people you love.

I love any time you can enlighten people to mistakes, that’s how I started my career.

I think I’ve become more relaxed throughout my career. I don’t feel the need to jump up and down and make a big noise to get people to pay attention to me. I don’t need to do punk rock gestures or eat a cockroach or do something weird to say I exist.

Thought is powerful in all phases. Even in my career, even in my life, things end up exactly how I visualized them

My career as Nipsey Hussle is based on my life as Ermias Asghedom.

I built a label at the same time I built a career.

My career is more important than girls.

My mother was a full-time mother. She didn’t have much of her own career, her own life, her own experiences… everything was for her children. I will never be as good a mother as she was. She was just grace incarnate. She was the most generous, loving – she’s better than me.

I always believed that I’d return to Cleveland and finish my career there.

Having a simple career as a musician who liked music was good enough for me.

My career should adapt to me. Fame is like a VIP pass wherever you want to go.

I just really love doing what I do. I know every career is fleeting and there will be time periods when I don’t get the opportunities that I’m getting right now, so I am taking advantage of them.

I am not in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people

Climbing to the top demands strength, whether it is to the top of Mount Everest or to the top of your career

I have spent a lot of time in Italy throughout my career — especially when I was karting, because it’s kind of the world centre of that sport — and I love it.

On a personal note, I think it won’t be until after I’ve retired that I’m fully aware of what I’ve done or what I’ve gone on to achieve in my career.

I want to concentrate on winning things with Barcelona and Argentina. Then if people want to say nice things about me when I have retired, great. Right now, I need to concentrate on being part of a team – not just on me.

I had a boyfriend who told me I’d never succeed, never be nominated for a Grammy, never have a hit song, and that he hoped I’d fail. I said to him, ‘Someday, when we’re not together, you won’t be able to order a cup of coffee at the fucking deli without hearing or seeing me

My whole career, when I was in Croatia, people questioned me, saying I wouldn’t make it, that I wasn’t good enough because I wasn’t big and strong.

Some women choose to follow men, and some women choose to follow their dreams. If you’re wondering which way to go, remember that your career will never wake up and tell you that it doesn’t love you anymore.

There is no such thing as a perfect basketball player, and I don’t believe there is only one greatest player either.

My father used to say that it’s never too late to do anything you wanted to do, And he said , You never know what you can accomplish until you try.

The basketball court for me, during a game, is the most peaceful place I can imagine. On the basketball court, I worry about nothing. When I’m out there, no one can bother me.

I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.

One of the Arsenal players came up to me afterwards and said it had been an honor to be on the same pitch as me. I thought, My God, that is a great thing to say when your team has just lost.

Many years ago when I first started my career Maradona told me “to enjoy and play as you know”, and that’s stayed with me ever since and is the best advice I’ve been given.

The fact is, with every friendship you make, and every bond of trust you establish, you are shaping the image of America projected to the rest of the world. That is so important. So when you study abroad, you’re actually helping to make America stronger.

I’m lucky to be part of a team who help to make me look good, and they deserve as much of the credit for my success as I do for the hard work we have all put in on the training ground.

Everything that’s happened to me in my career has been special, even the tough times: they leave marks on you that shape your life.
