I was taught from a very early age that I had to work twice as hard to get half as much. That was the world I grew up in - a very strong work ethic.
You can have a strong work ethic. Yes, that's going to take you far. But I think if you have a solid work ethic and a passion, that's different.
I was blessed by my parents and my antecedents by a very strong work ethic. I mean, being a Member of Parliament is 24/7, just as much as when you're actually doing a play. It's not quite 24/7, but it's the work that counts.
A lot people have a strong work ethic because they want the lifestyle, or they want the money, but me, I have a hard work ethic because I love the game.
You can never control how people respond to your work. You can only control your own work ethic.
I look up to a strong woman; maybe that's why I fell for Gaga. She works incredibly hard and is very strong and inspirational like Mom, with a great work ethic.
I've been very selfish and the women in my life have hated that because of my work ethic. I try not to bring my work home but the next day I want to go prepared. So okay let's have a few moments of camaraderie whatever... okay great! I go work on the script.
I have a very strong work ethic, and I'm very grateful for that. But I think there was a moment when I realized, "Oh, I can play a little as well."
I believe work is good. There is dignity in work. I also believe that a hard-work ethic forges strong leaders.
My parents instilled a very strong work ethic in me from a young age, fortunately.
I always strive to set an example for my kids to work hard and develop a strong sense of work ethic.
I'm kind of the long-hauler type of person. I also have a strong work ethic and gratitude for people that I work with.
You can't control whether or not you have talent. You can't control whether or not your work will be recognized or valued. But what you can control is how much work you put your art-both in terms of creating it and in terms of getting it out there-and that is where I try to focus my energy.
I wish I were brave, although I try. I work too hard and don't play enough. Too much work ethic, not enough 'fun'.
I was raised by free-spirited people, though my father gave me a very strong work ethic.
My father was a big influence - it was very important to him that we traveled, and he gave me my strong work ethic.
