I knew early on after the first couple episodes were fully scored and animated that we had a real quality show here. But I always questioned whether or not it would work.

As a Democrat in a red state, I often spend days among crowds where there are almost no Democratic voters in sight. I listen to them, work with them and try to persuade them.
— Steve Bullock
We have our work cut out to make sure our outdoors will always remain accessible.
I use a quill pen dipped in India ink. I also like Faber-Castell brush pens and Pigma Micron pens. And I work on Duo-Shade board.
— Steve Breen
Market type influences everything a company does. Strategy and tactics for one market type seldom work for another.
— Steve Blank
I'm a morning person because I learned to write my novels while still practicing law. I would get to the office at 6:30 a.m. and write until other people arrived, around 9. Now I still do that. I start at 6:30 or 7, and I'll write until 11, then take an hour off, then work until about 2 p.m. By then my brain has had enough.
— Steve Berry
I think Amazon is a place where people don't want to work.
— Steve Ballmer
From a client perspective, I really think the work Microsoft's doing with Surface, with HoloLens, with Xbox, that stuff's absolutely essential to the company's future. Because innovation in the future will either be from the cloud out to all devices, or from devices as supported by software in the cloud.
The ephemeral part of this work is that in music production, the sounds evolve so much faster than it used to, which means that you really have to put in a lot of work and effort in constantly designing the next sound that will move the culture forward.
— Steve Aoki
I always tell up-and-coming DJs you have to really love what you do and find that interest to drive you. It requires so much attention to detail, and it takes up a lot of your time. You hear a song, and there are so many little pieces that make that song work. It requires a lot of patience, diligence and resilience.
I got to work for some great administrators at great institutions, and I had an opportunity to coach great players. Iowa is no different.
— Steve Alford
The work of acting, in and of itself, is something that is infinitely enjoyable.
— Sterling K. Brown
As a freshman at Stanford University - a young black man - when O.J. Simpson was acquitted of murder, it was a joyful moment. I was happy, absolutely. It wasn't necessarily a matter of whether he was guilty or innocent, per se, it was a matter of finally seeing someone who looked like me have the justice system work in their favor.
M. Night Shyamalan can draw quite a few people to quite a few things, and having the opportunity to work with him is very cool.
I got to work with Rachel Dratch, and she just had such a funny, roll-with-it attitude when she would approach the stage and could turn anything into a gem.
— Stephnie Weir
We kind of understand at this level of the game when you work your way up to the top there's a possibility you may be facing somebody you've trained with before.
— Stephen Thompson
Whenever I fight, whenever you see me fight, I work a lot off of angles, using my kicks a lot.
There are movies and TV shows I wish we didn't make, sure, but we're in the business of creating things that are not all going to work.
— Steve Burke
I've been able to bridge divides in a very partisan time and get Republicans and Democrats to work with me to try to improve people's lives.
Political grandstanding might make for great soundbites for the evening news, but it will do nothing to help the people that go to work every day knowing that they're one health emergency away from bankruptcy. It will do nothing to help the hospitals struggling to keep their doors open under the crushing cost of uncompensated care.
Schools reward their students for a combination of intelligence, perseverance, and hard work - in the classroom and on the playing fields. But these metrics don't help kids understand that great grades are not a pass for a great life.
That's something a point guard can always work on, with keeping his dribble alive a little better. It's so important.
— Steve Blake
The media has zero integrity, zero intelligence, and no hard work. You're the opposition party. Not the Democratic Party. You're the opposition party. The media's the opposition party.
— Steve Bannon
Anybody who ever left Microsoft to Amazon, we could count on them coming back within a year or two, because it's not a great place to work to do innovative stuff as an engineer.
We will make our products work out of the box.
Whenever I work with different artists, I expand as a song writer, as a producer, and I always want to try and find the bridge between my world and their world.
I love to work with artists that were able to find a brand new name and create something really exciting and fresh.
Find people who think like you and stick with them. Make only music you are passionate about. Work only with people you like and trust. Don't sign anything.
— Steve Albini
I want to be remembered for a body of work so that when the next guy comes up, he could think of Sterling K. Brown in the same way that I think of Andre Braugher and James Earl Jones.
I remember the great work that Norman Lear did. That was an incredible heyday to be a black actor.
In the gym, people's enthusiasm tends to get the best of them. They realize this is their opportunity to say hello or that they love my work... It doesn't matter how profusely you're sweating.
The fact that the same symbolic programming primitives work for those as work for math kinds of things, I think, really validates the idea of symbolic programming being something pretty general.
— Stephen Wolfram
I'm definitely going to work on some techniques that hopefully will throw my opponents off and really allow me to open up whenever I'm out there fighting.
You just have to put in the work. Work really hard, get a good coach and a good gym. You have to have the right mindset to be a champion. Don't make excuses on going to the gym like your ankle is sore or what.
People in the movie division hate the people in the cable group... Ultimately, you work for NBCUniversal, not Bravo or Syfy.
When I defend our right to hunt and fish on public lands, rivers and streams. Or work for better schools. And more good paying jobs that can support a family. Those aren't political issues to me. They're personal.
Personally, I try to be provocative but not needlessly provocative in my work.
Measuring how hard your team is working by counting the number of hours they work or what time they get in and leave is how amateurs run companies.
As an actor, the thing I want to do to an audience is always be ahead of them and always be surprising in the work without deviating from the writer's intention.
— Steve Bisley
I'm all in on the Los Angeles Clippers. We're moving forward. We've got to work to be the best we can be to take advantage of all the assets in the community.
I loved every minute of my time at Microsoft, but I had always envisioned having another phase of life just because I thought that would be interesting. It had never been my plan to work until I literally didn't want to do anything and then hang it up.
Great companies in the way they work, start with great leaders.
For a producer, you want to be in L.A. You want to be close to the action, and in L.A. there are always singers, artists, songwriters, collaborators and other producers. It's easy to get access to all that, which gives you more opportunity to work records.
When I work with artists, I give them a general guideline of what my vision is. Then they're going to speak their minds on how they view it, too. The song that defines 'Neon Future' the best is the title track. I wrote that with Luke Steele of Empire of the Sun. It's through his words. We had an amazing songwriting session together, connecting.
My work schedule doesn't always accommodate my workout schedule, but I make do with what time I've got.
Johnnie Cochran was such a heroic figure for getting the acquittal of O.J. Simpson, and the acquittal was such a historical event because it was the first time that I'd seen somebody who looked like me have the criminal justice system work in their favor rather than against.
If I can do quality work with wonderful writers and directors and producers... that's the cherry on top.
When you look at organizations that work, everyone is on the same page as far as what they are doing.
— Stephon Marbury
You work hard, and you'll rise. But, if you've got any foolish notions, just knock them on the head and forget them.
— Stephen Vincent Benet
Ben Askren, he is a very strong wrestler, probably the best in the division, I think. But then again, when you're in the fight game like this, some of the other things you have to improve. It can't just be wrestling all the time. You got to continue to work on your striking, get better at that.
