I don't approve of the John Waynes and the Gary Coopers saying Shucks, I ain't no actor - I'm just a bridge builder or a gas station attendant. If they aren't actors, what the hell are they getting paid for? I have respect for my profession. I worked hard at it.

To succeed in any undertaking, any art or any trade or any profession, simply keep it ever persistently fixed in mind as an aim, and then study to make all effort toward it play or recreation. The moment it becomes hard work, we are not advancing.
Prentice Mulford
Image
My parents and grandparents have always been engaged in teaching or the medical profession or the priesthood, so I've sort of grown up with a sense of complicity in the lives of other people, so there's no virtue in that it's the way one is raised.

Zoe Lister-Jones
Image
I am certainly interested in a tribunal in which, for having used my reason, I was deemed little less than a heretic. Who knows but men will reduce me from the profession of a philosopher to that of historian of the Inquisition!
