A Quote by Kimberly Peirce

I am a lifelong career artist, which itself is a bit of a miracle. It's really challenging to be a career artist. I would say that the argument for grant funding is not only did my movie do some social good - hopefully it opened people's eyes - but you created a working artist. I'm hiring cinematographers, I'm hiring production designers, I'm hiring producers.

The only thing more expensive than hiring a professional, is hiring an amateur.

Hiring foreigners is more expensive and more difficult than hiring locals, because of the visa fees and long lead times for visa processing. And companies face a backlash by anti-immigrant groups for hiring foreigners. So they do it only because they have to.

Vivek Wadhwa

My brand was always going to be based on my personality. I didn't want people hiring me for what I said. I wanted them hiring me for who I am.

Hiring people to write code to sell is not the same as hiring people to design and build durable, usable, dependable software.

Larry Constantine

As an individual, you know what you are good at and what you're not good at, so over time as you are hiring, you should be hiring for the skill requirements as the rule, but you should also be thinking, "What am I less good at?" and knowing you need to hire those people to create a stronger team. Different personalities are good at different things, but as a leader and and entrepreneur, it often has to start with you and building around your shortcomings.

Alexis Maybank

If you think that hiring professionals is expensive, try hiring amateurs

Red Adair

There has been an attempt to pull in a more cable mentality to the big networks - from NBC hiring Scott Sassa from TNT, to FOX hiring Herzog from Comedy Central.

Sam Seder

Making social comment is an artificial place for an artist to start from. If an artist is touched by some social condition, what the artist creates will reflect that, but you can't force it.

Susan Sontag

Being an artist doesn't mean that you're a good artist. That was the bargain I first made with myself: I'd say, I'm an artist, but I'm not really very good.

Paul Simon

Political views in the hiring of career attorneys and staff should not be used. If I am asked to do that, I will not allow it.

Alexander Acosta

There was segregated unions, which was a real problem for me because - especially as I was working in the recording scene, I had flack from the white union for hiring black musicians. I had flack from the black musician by hiring white musicians.

Dr. John

Hiring someone to write your autobiography is like hiring someone to take a bath for you
