Floyd Mayweather said it, perfect boxing career, undefeated, but he says that in life there's balance. He might have the perfect boxing career, but elsewhere there's loss.

Anthony Yarde

It's different for every writer. It's not a career for anyone who needs security. It's a career for gamblers. It's a career of ups and downs.

George R. R. Martin

I think it's really important to remember that it's a long life, and it's a long career. In a perfect world, your career will be long. It does not begin and end with any one job. The point is to continue to have longevity in your career.

Laura Leighton

I want to have the same success in my acting career as I did in my boxing career.

David Haye

For the majority of my amateur boxing career, I was the underdog weirdly enough and that served me well.

Luke Campbell

During my boxing career, you did not see the real Muhammad Ali. You just saw a little boxing and a little showmanship. It was after I retired from boxing that my true work began.

Muhammad Ali

I think that every boxer should understand he's on the pedestal for a short span. It's best that you use boxing and don't let boxing use you. Use boxing to sell, because people are selling you through your boxing career, so you have to learn to sell yourself, and you'll never starve.

George Foreman

I've had a long career and I want to continue to have a long career. The way to do that is not to go away.

Chris Cornell

Honestly, the thing that I have found to be most useful over a long career, or maintaining a long career, is taking back the power at some point and self-producing.

Theresa Rebeck

Anyone that has a music career and an acting career I think is pretty fantastic.

Brittany Murphy

I don't feel that my marriage has anything to do with my career. It never hampers anyone's career in the film industry.

Shefali Zariwala

I think, in anyone's career, you have to map out some sort of strategy of steps that take you closer to the career you want.

Erin Foster

Boxing is one of the hardest jobs in the world, so when I found my career path, what I'd learnt in the boxing gym meant I was head and shoulders above everybody else.

Bugzy Malone

The last Pan Am Games in 2011 was one of the best experiences in my career. It was the first time women's boxing was in the Pan Am Games and any major games, and I had the opportunity to box in the first women's boxing fight and then went on to win gold.

Mandy Bujold

If something is important enough to you that you feel the urge to donate your money or time to it, I think it's best to try to express that form of giving through your career, not just as something you do on the side. If you enjoy your volunteering and charitable activities more than your career, it means your career is in serious need of an upgrade. In my opinion your career should be your best outlet for giving.
