People look at your CV and assume you jump from job to job to job. They don't see the months in between where you're waiting for the phone to ring, or you're waiting to hear about things.

Chloe Pirrie

I grew up in the '70s, when people talked on the phone - and just talked more. I remember the phone was the epicenter of our house. I spent hours every evening as a teenager waiting for the phone to ring and talking to my friends.

Jennifer Egan

If the opportunities are not being presented to me, I'm going to take the reins and do it. Brit Marling was not waiting for the phone to ring. The great roles are not there to be had. If you have an idea, do it.

The Blanks has just been a godsend because I don't have to sit around waiting for the phone to ring and I get to go out and be gainfully employed while I'm waiting for another job.

Sam Lloyd

I grew up in the 70s, when people talked on the phone - and just talked more. I remember the phone was the epicenter of our house. I spent hours every evening as a teenager waiting for the phone to ring and talking to my friends. Before the age of technology, it was also easier to just disappear from the face of the earth.

Jennifer Egan

If you're an actor, even a successful one, you're still waiting for the phone to ring.

Robert Kiyosaki

The exciting part about sitting down and writing songs, playing shows, or being a musician in general is that you never know where those songs and that music is going to take you. There's such a cool feeling about that the phone could ring tomorrow and someone could say "he guess what? your song..." That really is cool.

Mark Bonnar

Sometimes you have to make your own opportunities, and that's why I'm on TV. I wasn't going to sit around anymore, waiting for the damn phone to ring. I had to create my own place - I've always done that.

Bette Midler

The film world is a crazy place to be. You sit around all day waiting for the phone to ring. Are people talking about you or aren't they?

Kyle MacLachlan

I'm not good at just sitting around waiting for the phone to ring, hoping that the perfect role is going to turn up.

Ed Speleers

I have to create opportunities for myself. But the thing I really have learned is that you gain nothing from sitting around waiting for the phone to ring - you have to do it for yourself.

Laura Benanti

It's your career. Why should you let someone else be in control of what you do? You're the one taking all the risk. The promoter is not the one getting in the ring, the manager is not the one getting in the ring, the trainer doesn't even get in the ring.

Mikey Garcia

I'm interested in generating work for myself. I have trouble with this waiting-for-the-phone-to-ring lifestyle, especially after drama school, which was so creatively fulfilling.

Lupita Nyong'o

Jimmy Carter
