Sometimes I think I take on a lot of work but that's me.

You have to be a star to be in this business.

Apart from being Jennifer Lewis. The name pulls people in.

I've been burn when it comes to my hair that it ain't no joke.

It's important to e alive in those moment, especially when you're doing something you love to do.

You are a black goddess when you come out the salon.

If you just want to be a star, go away.

If you don't love it, don't touch it.

I don't have any beauty shop memories. I remember the barber shop.

A diva is someone who pretends to know who she is and looks fabulous doing it.

What if Whitney was at her top, and we brought in a name like Whitney Houston, it would sell.

I still go to a salon where a gal does my hair, and I don't know if it's because I'm a celebrity but by the time I leave there, we are eating chicken and talking and screaming.

I'm in the moment. I'm always in the moment of life.

I want to co-produce again.

We didn't have a beauty shop as I grew up.

If you can find something you love, go for it everyday of your life, and it would be really good to you.

Sometimes I think I take on a lot of work but that's me.

America has a relationship with Bobby and Whitney.

Saturday night is when my hair would be fixed up and that was my memory.

But a true diva has dismissed that drama. A true diva's heart is open, and she's ready to play by her own rules - rules that are gentle and kind.

I had not starred in an independent film and it's about a woman who owned a hair salon.

Whoopi and I have been friends ever since she claimed she couldn't sing on the set of Sister Act.

You never know when you start a project just how good it can be.

You think you can go into all those auditions not knowing who you are? The work came after I found my sense of self - when I wasn't so manic and desperate.

If you can find something you love go for it everyday of your life and it would be really good to you.

I did work out every day. I needed it to have the endurance to do what needed to be done and not get hurt. I have such a new respect for action stars now.

Work is the meat of life, pleasure the dessert.

This is God's work. Therefore it must be triumphant. There is no place for misgiving or despondency.

Yeah, that's what kind of, we get the idea a little bit yeah, because other people from different countries also try as hard as they can to get a medal or a gold medal in the Olympic Games. And you know, if they can work hard, we can work hard as well.

The work which is manipulated looks a little boring to me. I think life is pretty strange anyway. It is wooo, wooo, wooo!

I am not stopped by low funds, physical exhaustion, mental exhaustion, or temptations to stop and work on some other production that would be more financially rewarding.

The artist need not know very much; best of all let him work instinctively and paint as naturally as he breathes or walks.

Corporate partners help UNICEF fund our programmes for children, advocate with us on their behalf, or facilitate our work through logistical, technical, research or supply support.

The productivity of work is not the responsibility of the worker but of the manager.

The kinds of shows that seem to work now, the comedy shows, are those which require very little attention. They're superficial and I like articulate comedy.

The work that we do during the winter is very important; we have a new bike and it's important to develop it during this time, and we start with this test.

What an artist learns matters little. What he himself discovers has a real worth for him, and gives him the necessary incitement to work.

I work to stay alive.

When it is time to get to work, I go away completely and don't do anything except the work. And that can be 16 hours a day.

Some people don't like competition because it makes them work harder, better.

Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work at hand. The sun's rays do not burn until brought to a focus.

Always, your work is the same: You have to tell a story, you have to make a character. It doesn't matter if there are thousands of dollars, millions behind it, or if there is nothing.

Style is as much under the words as in the words. It is as much the soul as it is the flesh of a work.

Yes, and I can sit down on a white piece of paper and work because I don't believe too much into inspiration, only I'm waiting for inspiration, work and then inspiration may come. It's a little too easy to say that.

I am always successful in my work.

Then I decided I couldn't just crawl in the corner and die, so I started putting pen to paper and wrote some songs. I had no idea what for or who I was going to work with. I tried to find my way and direction.

Much of my work has come from being lazy.

People are not perfect... very often the relationships that are strongest are those where people have worked through big crises, but they've had to work through them. So the challenge to us is to work through that.

Evidently the merit depends on the result of the work.
