In feature films, I used to be the hero's friend, a regular character. In short films, I played the hero; I got roles where I could work on my character and performance. They made me aware of myself as an actor.
— Vijay Sethupathi
The energy of first-time directors is tremendous. They work beyond the limits for a hit in this competitive industry.
I work hard and I play hard, too. There is nothing wrong with that.
— Vijay Mallya
Bollywood is a place which is completely free from caste, region and religion. Some people might work in the industry with the help of networking but I feel is that it's your artistic competence that gets you work in industry.
— Vijay Krishna Acharya
I work for every film with the same amount of diligence.
— Vijay Antony
There was nothing extraordinary about the work I was doing as a composer though I had delivered hits.
Sometimes a scene works and acting is the easiest thing in the world and you don't have to do much of anything - just enjoy yourself and listen to the other actor. When it doesn't work, then every actor has different ways of dealing with the impasse. Sometimes you use memories from the past. Whatever. It depends from job to job.
— Viggo Mortensen
In terms of the movie business, being in a 'Lord of the Rings' has given me more interesting options as work.
Freud was the son of a Jewish merchant who had to move his whole family to Vienna because he couldn't get work. He, as a boy, had to watch his father be mocked and abused on the street for being Jewish... You develop a thick skin and you develop a certain kind of wit to defend yourself.
I work out at home. I don't have a gym, but I use light weights. I do calisthenics, which is basically using your own body weight, like you do in yoga, to strengthen your core. I also do a bit of cardio.
— Vidya Balan
Hairdressers are a wonderful breed. You work one-on-one with another human being and the object is to make them feel so much better and to look at themselves with a twinkle in their eye.
— Vidal Sassoon
No one can make me work harder than I do, so I'm generally not interested in who I am competing with.
— Victoria Principal
I did a lot of stunts, so the harness work isn't foreign to me either.
— Victoria Pratt
Apparently, I have such a serious race face, even when I'm doing a bit of work, at first everybody wasn't sure if I was enjoying it or not. But it's absolutely exhilarating. It feels like you're one with your horse and you're flying.
— Victoria Pendleton
Well, I - you know, the scripture says that God works by faith. And you have to have faith. You have to have trust in God so that God can work.
— Victoria Osteen
I want to work with producers who are unique and have a different sound.
— Victoria Justice
I could work 24 hours and I wouldn't complain once because I'm happiest when I'm working.
If you don't see me act, my work is done. The actor must never take the character beyond the scope of the movie.
During script narrations, if I feel the screenplay mood jumping abruptly, I tell the director, and they work on it.
Many people want to be a part of this industry only because of its glamour. What they have to understand is that it takes hard work to make it big. Imitation and bootlicking won't get you through.
I come from a place where getting a call to do a film is a big thing. I would work double hard to better a partly-convincing film than be without work.
— Vijay Deverakonda
Even if I was running an idli shop for a living, I know that my idlis will taste good because that's how highly I rate my work ethic.
I would love to work on a film which would be close to Hollywood standards.
I've never been conscious of having any real career plan, and I do not have a wish-list of actors, directors, screenwriters, or cameramen I'm hoping to work with. Life, I feel, has a way of leading us to the right situations and people, or at least to interesting ones.
A little recognition is not a bad thing because it means people appreciate your work. The only problem is when you can't walk down the street or have a meal without people looking at you. I want to be the one looking at people.
Like most people I can be lazy, so it's nice to have a goal or deadline or reason to work out. I feel better when I get to exercise, or when I'm outdoors. I like to hike, swim and run, and I love to play soccer.
I don't think my competition is with the heroes. I don't think I'm competing with anyone. I don't mean to sound Zen, but genuinely, when I stopped competing with anything is when I started enjoying my work, and that brought out the best in me. I'm living in a universe of my own, and I'm enjoying that. I love to appreciate other people's work.
I was all about my thoughts, my work, my inspiration. I was always in hair.
When women work together, it's a bond unlike any other.
I would be very happy doing movies. I love to work and I think I'm a little different.
Don't get me wrong: there are some fantastic people who work at British Cycling who kept me together, who were there when I was struggling with it all. They were walking the same tightrope in many ways, because if you do speak up, your days are numbered.
What I have to work with is the life that's ahead of me right this minute.
— Victoria Moran
I'd say that if you had a strained relationship with your mom, for whatever reason, the best thing to do is be open with each other, talk it over, try and work it out somehow as opposed to just putting a wall up and pushing them away.
The main characters for 'The Seer and the Sword' made an appearance one night and then haunted me for over five years before I began to write them down. Does that count as inspiration? For me, characters tend to show up, stay on to help with the work of writing their stories, and then occasionally deign to visit after a book is finished.
— Victoria Hanley
I want to make my kind of films but make them work commercially, too. When my presentation meets the director's imagination, the result will be great.
My father was very clear; I had to have an ordinary upbringing. I was put to work as a lowly-paid trainee after college. I didn't like it at the time, but I can't help but feel that that was probably the best thing for me.
Amitabh Bachchan is such a senior actor, a big star, everyone is in awe of him, but he is such a great guy to work with.
I like Chandrababu Naidu because he is the person who developed the city of Hyderabad and created the software boom. I also like K.T. Rama Rao for his work and the way he helps through Twitter and responds to many causes.
I always believe that it is his hard work that pays for a film's success.
When we shot 'The Lord of the Rings,' we had special permission to film in wild areas of New Zealand that could be accessed only by helicopter. They would drop us off and we would work all day, and they'd pick us up and take us out again.
I like the detail work of telling a story in small pieces, as is done in movie-making, and also the long leap of faith needed to see a theatre performance through each night. Both require focus and self-discipline.
I have a work ethic. If I say I'm going to do something, I do it.
I think an ethical lawyer would absolutely refuse, if he or she had knowledge that this is the purpose for which her work would be used, that is, to conceal a fraudulent scheme from federal regulators.
— Viet D. Dinh
Women were going back to work, they were assuming their own power. They didn't have time to sit under the dryer.
Sexual harassment at work... is it a problem for the self-employed?
— Victoria Wood
In terms of being a role model, I didn't start out to be one. I don't go to work every day with that in mind. But, I do get a lot of fan mail from young girls.
There's footage of me bouncing around, all uncoordinated, trying to work out how on earth you're supposed to do a rising trot on a really extravagant moving eventing horse.
When God created you, He went to great lengths to make you exactly the way He wanted you to be. You are His ultimate work of art.
Just because something is on trend, it might not work for you.
I would love to work with Cameron Crowe; he's definitely one of my favorite directors.
