(after directing The French Connection (1971)) Each picture I`ve done so far has been for different reasons. The Birthday Party (1968), for instance, was purely a labor of love. I wanted to do (Harold Pinter). Others were to advance my career, to get better assignments. I have no regard for and no knowledge of the value of money, I`m not saying that`s a virtue, just a fact. For me, the greatest thrill in the world, the only thrill, is getting 20 seconds on the screen that really gases you.
- William FriedkinAll these things that enter your head are assignments. You write them up and then throw them out there and if someone wants to do it, your assignment is done.
- Martin ShortThe ambulance missions are staged through the Public Health Emergency Preparedness and Response Office, ... The volunteers must wait for the assignments that will tell them where they`re going and what they`re going to be doing.
- Melissa Walkerassignments are not an option.
- Jim CoxFor English assignments I was constantly coming up with these strange adventure stories... But I actually wanted to be an artist, or maybe work in the comic book industry.
- Paul KaneWe need to execute and we need to take care of our assignments. I think that boils down to any team in high school football.
- Chris MillerWe kind of flip-flopped the way I thought it would be. We played methodical, error-free football in the opener against Cabot when I would expect us to make mistakes. Last week, we made a lot of mental mistakes and had missed blocking assignments.
- Kenny SmithI saw missed opportunities, I saw a missed tackle for a possible loss become a big play, and I saw missed assignments. They all equaled bad. In the end it`s a bad sign.
- Annette BrownI go out there, I focus, I make sure that I know my assignments, make sure Coach Martz and the other coaches can trust me, make sure I play my butt off, and basically make it where they have to keep me, ... I want to make myself play well enough that they have to say, `Hey, we have to keep this guy.`
- Ashish K. JhaWe had a couple missed assignments.
