It was a matter of not living lavishly but enjoying what you had, growing things with your hands, working hard, but not being tied to a nine-to-five job, and generally feeling that there's more to life than money.

John Sulston

The abortion industry and their workers are under unique pressure and constantly in the spotlight because abortion is so controversial, and people on both sides are considerably passionate. This isn't a typical nine-to-five job. It's on a whole other level of intensity.

Abby Johnson

From an early age I didn't buy into the value systems of working hard in a nine-to-five job. I thought creativity, friendship and loyalty and pushing the boundaries of what was acceptable was much more interesting.

Adam Clayton

I didn't want to go to college or work in an office or have a nine-to-five job. I knew that quite clearly before I left school.

Aidan Gillen

When you don't have a nine-to-five job, and you're with somebody who gets a tremendous amount of attention, it's not that you resent it - it's that you have all that extra time to think about it.

Anjelica Huston

And I not only inherited an aversion to the nine-to-five routine, but the sense from my parents that being bored and boring is the worst thing that you can be.

Christian Bale

In college, where I graduated with a Fashion Merch & Business & Bachelors of Science Degree, I was bored. I just couldn't work a nine-to-five job.

Dana Brooke

Luckily, filmmaking is not a nine-to-five job.

Farah Khan

Even when my parents were together, they both had to travel and work, and it wasn't like they had nine-to-five jobs. In that way, it wasn't a normal family life.

Georgia May Jagger

I sleep as much as I want. I'll sleep, like, 11 hours, unless I'm working. Sometimes I do feel like, 'This is weird; I should just get up so I can fit into the world.' Then I'm like, 'Why?' I don't have a nine-to-five job.

Heather Graham

I have a theory that the truth is never told during the nine-to-five hours.

Hunter S. Thompson

Middle-class people worry a lot about money. They worry a lot about job security, and they do a lot of nine-to-five stuff.

Irvine Welsh

So many people in this world get up every day and go to their nine-to-five job they hate for 12 months a year for 30 years. I kind of do a self-check and evaluation to realize I'm very blessed and grateful to be where I am.

Jay DeMarcus

It was a matter of not living lavishly but enjoying what you had, growing things with your hands, working hard, but not being tied to a nine-to-five job, and generally feeling that there's more to life than money.

John Sulston

In spite of all the skills that I do have, to relate to the normal world I have no applicable skills. I can speak Russian, I can speak French. I know about Chanel. Especially vintage Chanel. I know what Halston is. All of these things, but they can't really be applied to a nine-to-five.

Johnny Weir

I really struggled with doing nine-to-five and just wanted to do something where it felt like I was in charge and I was doing something creative. I imagine if the first gig had gone badly I'd never have done it again. I imagine there's hundreds of people who could have been really great comedians and just had a bad first gig.

Josh Widdicombe

Crisis is not a nine-to-five job... Crisis happens when you least expect it.

Judy Smith

Swapping out the nine-to-five for a more agile, independent working life brings with it one other huge benefit - a channel for self-actualization.

Leah Busque

I've never felt like a pop star - this is a nine-to-five sort of gig. It comes from working in the factories, that world. You don't forget it.

Malcolm Young

Novelists are stamina merchants, grinders, nine-to-fivers, and their career curves follow the usual arc of human endeavour.

Martin Amis

I was raised on, 'You go get a nine-to-five job, earn your pay and work your way up.'

Matthew McConaughey
