My career means the world to me and it's something I'm very proud of.
So much of my career has been about saying things the way people say them, using melodies not that I can sing but that the people can sing.
Your career is what you're paid for. Your calling is what you're made for.
I had a career before the Stern show, on Mad TV. I was on the first two seasons of that and I got kicked off it because of possession of cocaine.
I really want my career to be as an actor-writer-director-producer, you know? I don't know what will be stronger than the other.
First and foremost, I consider myself a storyteller. And I'm endlessly fascinated with people, with what they do and why. . . and how they feel about it. Which means I'm interested in romance fiction. I was drawn to it, as both a reader and a writer, at the very beginning of my career. It's my kind of storytelling.
It's very rarely a good career move to have a conscience.
It's very important to me to love what I do. It was important to me to find a career that I truly enjoy. You can find something that sort of excites you, that's half the battle of life.

I learned very early in my career that when I don't arrive on set, production will shut down, which means people won't get paid; there's that much responsibility.
Anything that I wanted to do in my career that I wanted to do always worked out. The stuff I got talked into always failed. All the stuff I was talked into, by brilliant managers, because it always came down to, "Know how much money you'll make?" And then it would just fail.
I think most players would love, at one stage in their career, to say, 'I've been No. 1 in the world.

At the beginning of your career, it's 'Who is Paul Newman?' and then it's 'Get me Paul Newman. ' Then it's 'Get me a young Paul Newman. ' Then it's 'Who is Paul Newman?'
What you BECOME on earth matters far more than what you DO. You're taking your character to heaven, not your career.
I really moved through my career based on curiosity about something. I never looked at a title and said, 'I want that. '
I get a phone call once every 18 months from some mad person who wants me to do something for less than no money and they give me about a week's notice. That's my film career, most of the time.
There's nothing more creative I'll ever do in my career than trying to make an hour of TV everyday.
I enjoy a lot of stuff. That's why I pursued a career in show business, because I enjoy watching everything as much or more than making it. I'm just a big TV and movie junkie from when I was a kid. Fortunately, it worked out.
