A Quote by Colin Firth

I haven't had to struggle very much. I haven't paid my dues. I think I have been lucky. — © Colin Firth
I haven't had to struggle very much. I haven't paid my dues. I think I have been lucky.
People say, You paid your dues, but I never paid any dues. It's always been a great trip.
Some might say I didn't pay enough of my dues, and I think I've paid my dues.
Actors and writers need to come back to the theater because it's a place where you can learn. You have to pay your dues, and people who haven't paid their dues in the theater, I think, have a hard time creating a whole career.

I may not be a trained actor, but I've paid my dues. And I mean that literally. I am a fully dues-paid member of SAG/AFTRA. As a political figure, I've been called a 'card carrying' member of numerous groups that I'm not a member of - and now I'm being called a non-actor when I am literally a card-carrying member of the union for actors.
I feel very lucky to make a living from my imagination; I'm very grateful for that. I like that what I do is create. I'm feeling very lucky to have had the career I had. It's gone much longer and bigger than I ever thought it would be.
When you are as big and strong as Strowman, WWE notices you and basically pays you to go to school. He was paid to train, has a guaranteed contract, and gets paid whether he wrestles or not. He couldn't survive in the actual wrestling business. He never had to pay his dues.
I was very lucky: I started acting in this highly subsidized German theater world, so there was not so much job insecurity. We had great working conditions, long rehearsal times, well paid.
And whether or not we had now paid our dues, he was my blessing, and I was his.
If there had been a charismatic figure in the United States who could mobilize fears, anger, racism, a sense of loss of the future that belongs to us, this country could be in real danger. We're lucky that there never has been an honest, charismatic figure. McCarthy was too much of a thug, you know? Nixon was too crooked. Trump, I think, is too much of a clown. So, we've been lucky.
I did my time for the rape. I paid my money to Las Vegas. I paid my dues.
I think I've paid my dues. I've really put in a lot of time on set.
You can't wait around for destiny to give you what you think you deserve, you have to earn it, even if you think you've paid your dues.
I really appreciate an actor who has paid their dues and who has learned hard knocks and has been rewarded in the end.
If you grow up poor you're always going to worry about money, no matter how successful or lucky you become. I'm not moaning about what actors get paid - I'm very, very lucky - but the difference between what leading actors get paid and supporting actors get is a lot.
People think that I reached the top overnight; well, it took me fourteen years. I was twenty-nine before I really made it. I've had my jaws and hands broken. One arm is out of place. I've paid my dues in this business.
