A calm environment is for after I finish work. - Lee Child When I was younger I used to get my best writing done at night, but now it has to be during the day. I usually finish work at half past seven, then go back to the house to open a bottle of wine, have dinner, and then read or watch television. - Antony Beevor When you're a chef, you graze. You never get a chance to sit down and eat. They don't actually sit down and eat before you cook. So when I finish work, the first thing I'll do, and especially when I'm in New York, I'll go for a run. And I'll run 10 or 15k on my - and I run to gain my appetite. - Gordon Ramsay

Join the union, girls, and together say Equal Pay for Equal Work. - Susan B Anthony I don't see why ogling same-sex kissing should be the exclusive domain of frat boys whacking off to lesbian action, that's so sexist. Feminism should be all inclusive- it should be about sexual liberation, equal pay for equal work, and the fundamental girl right of boy2boy appreciation. - Rachel Cohn President Kennedy understood the importance of equal pay for equal work and signed historic legislation that gave women around the country hope that one day their wages would be on par with that of their male counterparts. - Rosa Delauro We sought justice because equal pay for equal work is an American value. That fight took me ten years. It took me all the way to the Supreme Court. And, in a 5-4 decision, they stood on the side of those who shortchanged my pay, my overtime, and my retirement just because I am a woman. - Lilly Ledbetter Enable every woman who can work to take her place on the l...

I teach at Eastern University, which is highly committed to doing work among the poor and the oppressed peoples of the world. We have a special commitment to the city. - Tony Campolo As you get older and ease your way into being a character actor you have to be comfortable with where you are in life and career, and I'm very comfortable with what I'm doing - working on projects I'm proud of. - George Clooney Attention is like energy in that without it no work can be done, and in doing work is dissipated. We create ourselves by how we use this energy. Memories, thoughts and feelings are all shaped by how use it. And it is an energy under control, to do with as we please; hence attention is our most important tool in the task of improving the quality of experience. - Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi You can't win for losing. Either you fulfill their stereotype of being a radical 60's person or you've sold out. In fact, of course, millions of people who were active in th...

So now do not worry, take what you have, and do your work and you will have a long life and a very merry one. - Ernest Hemingway The entire point of life is to find ways to get others to do your work for you. Don't you know anything about basic economics? - Brandon Sanderson Do your work, and I shall know you. Do your work, and you shall reinforce yourself. - Ralph Waldo Emerson Do your work and I shall know you. - Ralph Waldo Emerson Live your life, do your work, then take your hat. - Henry David Thoreau A film set is really delicate and people treat you very very well if you're an actor because they want you to be as comfortable as possible for you to do your work, but it really is just one in a team of many and usually 150 people. - Amanda Seyfried One of the great lessons the fall of the leaf teaches, is this: do your work well and then be ready to depart when God shall call. - Tryon Edwards You do your work as a photographer and everything becomes past. Words are m...

Whether for life or death, do your own work well. - John Ruskin Learn to say Noand to be rude about it when necessary. Otherwise you will not have time to carry out your duty, or to do your own work, and certainly no time for love and happiness. The termites will nibble away your life and leave none of it for you. - Robert A Heinlein All I can tell you is that you cannot make choices in your own career, either career choices or choices when you're actually working as an actor, based on trying to downplay or live up to a comparison with somebody else. You just can't do that. You have to do your own work based on your own gut, your own instincts, and your own life. - Brandon Lee

The girl would grow up marked by tragedy and, when she was twenty, would use her own suffering to help alleviate that of others. She would eventually do work of such vital importance that it would have an impact all over the world. - Paulo Coelho It's just such a great miracle when things do work, and they work for such a wild variety of crazy reasons. - Laurie Anderson What I know is, is that if you do work that you love, and the work fulfills you, the rest will come. - Oprah Winfrey When I do Pilates, or when I do work out, I feel better all day. Yet I still struggle to keep it on my schedule. - Maria Bello I didn't do a movie until I was almost 30. I'm grateful for that because it gave me a chance to be an adult in the world and do work in the regional theater that very few people cared about. I loved it and I wanted to do that stuff. - Annette Bening I want to do work, but I also want to have a good time. - Gael Garcia Bernal What guides me is to do work that...

I hate the rich snots here with a fervent passion I usually reserve only for dental work and my father. - John Green I don't get off on romantic parts. But I often think if I had had my dental work done early on, well, maybe. - Morgan Freeman I've been giving free money seminars for the troops at Walter Reed Hospital and one of the Iraqi War Vets realized that the military wouldn't pay for the dental work he needed. - Matthew Lesko

The factories were heavily bombed, but practically the construction work had been redone very quickly. - Gianni Agnelli Shortly after this exchange my roommate suggested we start throwing water balloons at the construction workers. Not really at them because, I know, I know, it's not their fault. But believe me, it's hard to look down and see a man with a seven-speed power drill plowing through a brick wall and tell yourself he's not responsible for the noise. - Sloane Crosley The place was packed as we flooded in, all the patrons freezing at the sight of an armed sheriff, two deputies, an Indian, and a construction worker; we probably looked like the Village People. - Craig Johnson A blanket, when taken to the top of a mountain and laid flat, could be painted orange and used as a landing pad for when the aliens come to earth to save humanity. The only problem is, with it being painted orange, what if the construction workers arrive before the extraterrestrials? - Jaro...

The time I'm not spending with my kid has to be worth it, so when I sat down with my agents after I was ready to go back to work, I told them: It's all about the directors. - Jessica Alba For a time in my life I stood looking at the wind, I forgot to sow, I did not live joyfully, I did not even drink the wine offered me. But, one day, I judged myself ready, and I went back to work, I told men about my visions of paradise, as did Bosch, Van Gogh, Wagner, Beethoven, Einstein, and other madmen before me. - Paulo Coelho And there was nothing quite like the surprise attack of a snarling black bear, even one missing all forty-two teeth, to urge someone back to work. Waking up with several hundred mud-encrusted, reeking pounds on top of you your neck suffering a hickey of epic proportions just pushed the limits on what was tolerable. - Cole Alpaugh Everyone knows you only want to look at the sinkhole because you love a good disaster. Get back to work, Fuller. I don't pay you...

What work I have done I have done because it has been play. If it had been work I shouldn't have done it.... The work that is really a man's own work is play and not work at all.... When we talk about the great workers of the world we really mean the great players of the world. - Mark Twain Behind that, there was something else at work, beyond any design of the ring maker. I can put it no plainer than by saying that Bilbo was meant to find the ring, and not by its maker. In which case you also were meant to have it. And that may be an encouraging thought. - J R R Tolkien We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works. - Douglas Adams The glacier was God's great plough set at work ages ago to grind, furrow, and knead over, as it were, the surface of the earth. - Louis Agassiz Every faction conditions its members to think and act a certain way. And most people do it. For most people, it's not hard to learn, to find a pattern of thou...

There's a hysterical, tired sense of humor that comes after working 14 hours a day, six days a week. I like those things because they take the pressure off the constant stress. - Tom Berenger I was raised really, really healthy, pretty much vegetarian and a very clean lifestyle, I don't smoke, I don't drink. I'm more addicted to the things that make me feel good - endorphins after working out. - Elizabeth Berkley School is shortened, discipline relaxed, philosophies, histories, languages dropped, English and spelling gradually neglected, finally almost completely ignored. Life is immediate, the job counts, pleasure lies all about after work. Why learn anything save pressing buttons, pulling switches, fitting nuts and bolts? - Ray Bradbury Noah Calhoun watched the fading sun sink lower from the wrap around porch of his plantation-style home.He liked to sit here in the evenings, especially after working hard all day. - Nicholas Sparks Have you worked here long?"...

Find people who think like you and stick with them. Make only music you are passionate about. Work only with people you like and trust. Don't sign anything. - Steve Albini I never thought about being on a series before. It seemed like such a big commitment. But I love going to work every day. This is not about ego, it's about work, and that's refreshing in this town. - Lauren Ambrose If this is about working through your pain with me, I gave what I'm gonna give to that. If this is about something else, then I'll be spending the night. - Kristen Ashley Clean it up, hell. Do you know how many cameras just caught your stunt-jump from upstairs? My mom now thinks you're on the drugs she suspects Kyrian sells. We're screwed. My life is toast. I'm about to get lectured about working for drug dealers...again. My mom, bless her heart, is so goofy, she doesn't even realize she works for bears. I'm so screwed. (Nick) - Sherrilyn Kenyon The things women...
