I was a late bloomer on the career front.
When I came out, I was 68, and I was totally prepared for my career to recede when I spoke to the press for the first time. What happened after that blew me away. I started getting more offers. My career blossomed.
I started to develop my comedy skills when I became resident singer at the Boggery Folk Club in Solihull. My career blossomed from there, and I became a big draw on the folk-club circuit.
I loved my boarding school, but I didn't know what I wanted to do. I didn't have a career.
I benched up to 500 pounds one day and decided that was enough because I knew the risk of a pec tear or a shoulder injury would be catastrophic to my bodybuilding career.
Jason McDermott's political career, however bogus, appears to have had an early and promising start.
I started my career wanting to make a 'James Bond' movie, and I couldn't get hired! I made 'The Bourne Identity,' and ultimately the impact of that film was that it changed the 'James Bond' franchise.
At one time in my career, Barnes and Noble bookstores categorized my books as religious fiction.
I've cheated myself: there are other things I could have done to fill out the bouquet of my career.
During the peak of my career, I used to pick the ball as soon it was released from the bowler's hands. And I hit the ball through the line.
Prior to 'Pirates of the Caribbean' - the first one in 2003 - I had been essentially known within the confines of Hollywood as box office poison, you know what I'm saying? You know, I basically had built a career on 20 years of failures.
I'm a huge fan of Brad Pitt. He could have done rom-coms his entire career, but he took it in a different direction.
I was a huge fan of Bobby Cox, a huge fan of Chipper Jones and John Smoltz. And just those guys, I grew up watching those guys and often wondered early on in my career if I would ever have the chance to play for the Atlanta Braves, and there it was. God kind of answered my prayers.
Sir Walter, with his 61 years of life, although he never wrote a novel until he was over 40, had, fortunately for the world, a longer working career than most of his brethren.
My father was a brew master. He was the one who I was very close to, he influenced me in many many ways including my pursuing a career as a brew master.
I consider myself a laborer, building my career brick over brick under the sun.
A career is like a house: it's made of many bricks, and each brick has the same value, because without any one of them, the house would collapse.
I liked 'Brighton Beach Memoirs,' which I did with Neil Simon. I kind of was playing him, as Eugene Morris Jerome, and I played that a few times at the very beginning of my career.
I could do nothing but Brooklyn shows for the rest of my career, and I could die ignorant.
When I was a teenager, the biggest heartthrob was Tab Hunter. He was in every movie out of Warner Bros. until he was exposed as gay, and his career faded. That was an object lesson. I knew I must protect my sexual orientation.
