But I also know it has an idea that I'll like because that idea occurred to me and I spent a year or a year and a half of my life working on it.

Abraham LincolnIf at the end of the week's work and on receiving his wages he were to ask his employer for a larger sum pleading that though he could not justly claim it and did not really deserve it yet he expected it he would not only receive the larger sum but would doubtless be discharged from his post.

Francis BaconI spent my whole life in the private sector 25 years in the private sector.

Mitt RomneyI won't take my religion from any man who never works except with his mouth.
Carl SandburgIt wasn't so long ago that I was a working mom myself. And I know that sometimes, much as we all hate to admit it, it's just easier to park the kids in front of the TV for a few hours so we can pay the bills, or do the laundry, or just have some peace and quiet for a change.
Michelle ObamaI have always been pushed by the negative. The apparent failure of a play sends me back to my typewriter that very night before the reviews are out. I am more compelled to get back to work than if I had a success.
