Fencing is a game of living chess, a match where reflexes only work in combination with intent, and mind and body must work together at every moment.
— V. E. Schwab
I left my home in Massachusetts after college to move to New York City to pursue my dreams of acting. I took roles for free. I waited tables. I didn't care because it was work.
— Uzo Aduba
We work very cost effective and I sell my movies in 100 territories on my own.
— Uwe Boll
Music is not free to make. Studios are going under because people now work at laptops. Quantity over quality is what begins to happen; the idea of what quality is has changed.
— Usher
I work hard, and I do good, and I'm going to enjoy myself. I'm not going to let you restrict me.
— Usain Bolt
I work out at least three times a week.
— Urvashi Rautela
I am always fascinated by the structure of things; why do things work this way and not that way.
— Ursus Wehrli
Find something that you love to do, and find a place that you really like to do it in. I found something I loved to do. I'm a mechanical engineer by training, and I loved it. I still do. My son is a nuclear engineer at MIT, a junior, and I get the same vibe from him. Your work has to be compelling. You spend a lot of time doing it.
— Ursula Burns
Race and gender definitely came up, occasionally, in my life at work. But the bigger challenge that I had was age. I took roles earlier in my career than people expected, and so a lot of what I got was, 'Do you actually know enough to do this?'
A person is big if his work is big.
— Urmila Matondkar
We all go through things in life. You try to stay positive, but you can't ignore bad things that happen. You just try to work through them.
— Urijah Faber
Whenever a team has three weeks to prepare, and it's an excellent coach and coaching staff and great players, you've got to work on it all.
— Urban Meyer
I feel immensely proud to work at The Drama Company.
— Upasana Singh
Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.
— Unknown
Implication is a cumulative process that generates union in the team and mutual respect. Either we all work, or let's just burst the ball.
— Unai Emery
I was a second-division B player, and I've had to work very hard. I tell the players, 'The moment we stop working hard on this, as soon as we stop dedicating hours to this, we'll fall.'
I could work in the shower if I had plastic paper.
— Umberto Eco
Right after undergrad, I started doing low-level work on health issues in sub-Saharan Africa, and what struck me was the disconnect between how people in New York would speak about some of the issues people were facing. At the time, 2006-ish, there were a number of big media campaigns to raise awareness about HIV in sub-Saharan Africa.
— Uzodinma Iweala
I love ensemble work. I love making pieces and building things together.
You have to find a way - and thankfully for me, it's been music - to separate yourself from the racial identity. It's not easy, and I continue to work, God bless, and I'm really, truly appreciative of it.
— Utkarsh Ambudkar
Sleeping is forbidden at the age of 22. It's all work and no play.
All I have to do is to work on transition and technique.
When people appreciate my work, that's satisfying as an artiste.
What I do, basically, is look at things from different angles. That is what I do on stage comedically, and that is what I do in art. I was always fascinated by the structure of things, why things work this way and not that way. So I like to see how things behave if you change the point of view.
Fresh out of college, you tend to join a company because it's a job. But, you tend to stay because it becomes a career; you start to feel at home. In the beginning of your career, you're focused on you: 'I like this place because I'm doing rewarding work; they take good care of me; the people are nice; there's runway for me,' etc.
My mother raised us to think that if we worked hard, and if we put our end of the bargain in, it would work out OK for us.
Being a star means doing the kind of work you want to do.
I work my butt off and have a positive attitude.
I just want to do stuff that gives me work satisfaction.
I don't enjoy my work and don't get creative satisfaction if I do just one project and stick to it for years.
My concentration with players is the next match, focus only to work for the next match and how we can win.
My first target is not to win: it's to develop young players with our work. That was my first idea when I started as a coach, because with this work come results.
Homer's work hits again and again on the topos of the inexpressible. People will always do that.
I started to work in television for three or four years, in 1954. There was one channel of television, black and white. But it could be entertaining and educational. During the evening they showed important plays, opera or Shakespeare's tragedies.
Why do Angelina Jolie and Bono receive overwhelming attention for their work in Africa while Nwankwo Kanu or Dikembe Mutombo, Africans both, are hardly ever mentioned?
I've heard of nothing coming from nothing, but I've never heard of absolutely nothing coming from hard work.
I tramped. When I was on the freight trains, I wasn't looking for work. I was looking to go from place to place without paying any money.
— Utah Phillips
Breaking up is a natural evolution when you try to figure out what you want in life. If you're with an individual who isn't moving in the same direction and at the same rate that you are, it ain't going to work.
Karan Johar is absolutely an amazing director. I dream to work with Karan.
I choose to focus on my work so that I can turn my dreams into reality.
This old notion that work is drudgery is nonsense. Most days, even back when Xerox was under siege, I could not wait to get to the office.
If you go to Norway, Finland, Russia or Australia, you'll see Xerox or Fuji-Xerox people, not just the name on the door. We have human beings who live and work and serve customers everywhere around the globe.
My mother was amazing. I guess, in our community, if you wanted to get by you had to work hard. So she cleaned offices. She did everything that you could imagine. We were really poor. But she would say, 'Where you are is not who you are.'
I like my work to speak. Actually, I would like my work to scream!
So, I am independently well-off and don't have to do anything, but I still do. I write books, lecture around the world, work with scientists and governments.
— Uri Geller
My character on 'CNWK' gave me work satisfaction.
In 'Comedy Nights With Kapil,' we had fixed characters and we were under a contract that we could not work for other channels. But it's not the same with 'TKSS.' I can do shows on any channel.
When I work with players, whether their level is higher or lower, for me the most important thing is to know the person, what is in their heart.
I respect Bielsa a lot. For me, he is a special coach. I think the best coaches in the world work in different things, and a lot of coaches, we cannot train like Bielsa. It's difficult to train like Bielsa. But every coach can learn from different coaches. But with Bielsa, I think all coaches learn something from him.
I like nicotine because it excites my brain and helps me work.
