8 QUOTES WITH «WAITRESSING»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word waitressing.
1
Moran Atias
I left Israel to work as a model, to just make money - I didn't care if I was doing an ad for toilet paper or diapers, I just really wanted to allow myself to go to school, to go to university without waitressing, because when I'm in a school environment I just really like to study and have the best grades and learn as much as I can.
2
Jennifer Esposito
Waitressing - by far the worst job ever created.
3
Meta Golding
I love to cook. I'd have a dinner party, and someone would be like, 'Can you do this at my house?' So my catering partner and I - we were both struggling actresses at the time - thought, instead of getting a waitressing job, let's do what we love. We always said if things pick up, our acting careers come first.
4
Nancy Kerrigan
I worked also, doing things such as our paper route and, later on, waitressing.
5
Linda Kozlowski
I've never had to do anything I didn't believe in. Sometimes that meant being poor and waitressing a while longer, but I've always stuck with it.
6
Julianna Margulies
I'd rather go back to waitressing than play a character that I hate.
7
Piper Perabo
She tries to get a waitressing job for a while - I mean, she's looking for a while before she finds Coyote Ugly - and it's hard to get a waitressing job in the city.
8
Jess Weixler
I've done a lot of odd jobs, including waitressing, which most actors have done. I was a busboy - girl - when I was younger and sold things at little fairs when I was younger. I mostly related the role to being a waitress and having to deal with customers. There are good people and some not-so-good people.
