When I'm at work, I do try and embody it as much as possible.
I've done a lot of pictures that are ensemble, and I've not always liked the people I was working with, but that doesn't make any difference because you do the job, and often it turns out to be a great ensemble even if you didn't particularly really like anybody.
People are most shocked and most in disbelief that I go to the office every day. I have a job. When I'm not acting on a movie, I go to work, first thing in the morning. I'm at work at 8 o'clock in the morning, and I get home from work at 7 o'clock at night. I treat my job like a job, and I work at it. I think people would probably be most surprised, if I ever calculated up the number of hours I work on an average week and published that. If it was ever documented, I think people would be shocked to find out.
I care about the work I do. But I'm not going to say that money's not an issue.
I'm usually done working by Happy Hour.
Originally, I was an assistant director. For many people in that role, becoming a director is the ultimate goal. But, in my case, that wasn't my goal at all. I just had fun doing it. The schedule was hard, but I enjoyed it greatly so I just kept at it.
I have no intention whatever of ever walking away from the job that the people elected me to do.
He did exactly what he said he would not do later that year.
Some people go to their job. That's the job they have; they have to do it. They hate their boss and their coworkers, this and that. It's hard to get along.
If there's one thing that precedes my sleep, it's my work.
Work is my top priority.
I'm kind of a workaholic.
If loving your job qualifies you as a workaholic, then yes, I am one for sure!
So when I was told to work, ten, twelve hours a day as an assistant pro, I didn't complain. It was normal.
Do not hire a man who does your work for money, but him who does it for love of it.
I could very well see myself ending my professional career at Kaiserslautern.
Being a professional means doing your job on the days you don't want to do it
A lot of young people who I employ expect a raise after three months or expect not to have to put in more work than what's in their job description.
I feel that whoever isn't feeling settled in their career won't think about their marriage.
I'd never worked for anyone else until I got to the NFL, and this will be my last time working for someone else.
We want passion for our business.. workers who can interpret and execute our mission, who want to build a career, not just take a temporary job.
I want to work hard, and when good roles come along I don't want to pass them up.
My own mentality is that I've retired. They send me these scripts and if I absolutely have to do it, then I go to work.
I definitely don't ever want to burn out at my job.
My life is very much consumed with work.
I think every actor, you can say, has at one point decided to slack, phone it in. But Sean Penn shows up every day and does his job, and the character's always different. Always. 'Carlito's Way,' 'I am Sam,' 'Sweet and Lowdown.'
