An amateur is someone who supports himself with outside jobs which enable him to paint. A professional is someone whose wife works to enable him to paint.

A lot of actors didn`t make their start until in their prime - I remember Buster Merryfield - who played Uncle Albert in "Only Fools and Horses" (1981) - saying that it wasn`t until he retired as a bank clerk that he got involved with amateur dramatics, a...

On Frank Sinatra: In high school, Frank never participated in extra-curricular activities, like nature study, paintings or ceramics. Frank`s hobby was a most interesting one: he was an amateur gynecologist.
Dean Martin
I was always into noir. When I lived in Vermont I was drawing stuff that looked like an amateur doing `Sin City`. When I first got to New York I was swiftly informed that they only did guys in tights.

Your performance depends on your people. Select the best, train them and back them. When errors occur, give sharper guidance. If errors persist or if the fit feels wrong, help them move on. The country cannot afford amateur hour in the White House.

You`re right, but Alexander Cartwright was a good friend of Shakespeare`s and they played a prototype game in an amateur league back then ...

We were watching the first series recently, and it has a charm, a kind of amateur charm. At that point we didn`t involve ourselves technically at all - we just messed about and told our jokes - and it looks a bit like that.

We did exactly what everybody in the country did, watching it. You entered this state of sort of denials. You think, well, it must have been a tragic accident by an amateur pilot. And then you see the next plane coming.

Surprisingly enough, I haven`t had a letter from Amateur Boxing Scotland bosses offering their congratulations for my Melbourne medal win.

So as an amateur Olympic competitor I loved criticism, because it made me better. But now as a professional I don`t really know how to channel it or where to take it, so I don`t take it quite as well.

Once the amateur`s naive approach and humble willingness to learn fades away, the creative spirit of good photography dies with it. Every professional should remain always in his heart an amateur.

It didn`t matter where the amateur hit his shot on that hole, the place went crazy. It was really neat. We`d like to get something like that going.

I`ve probably played 50 or 60 rounds on the golf course, ... I played in the NCAAs and played in the Southern [Amateur]. It`s a course I`m very familiar with and very comfortable on. It`s hard, but it`s a course I feel pretty good on.

I`ve adapted my footwork and my punches are a lot harder now. My first fight was like my amateur fights. I went in there with fast feet and fast hands but now I`ve slowed it down so I`m adapting to it and getting more power into my shots.
