Hours Quotes

I think my books are lighter and funnier than some of the big series out there. You may not walk away from my books having learned a life-altering lesson, but you will feel better for having laughed for a few hours. It’s just a different style of writing Picture Quote #1

Science is difficult and slow no matter who you are. The hours are long, and the glorious ‘aha’ days come only very infrequently. You have to keep believing that if you put in the hours, those days will indeed come! Picture Quote #1

When I usually go to my studio to work, I start with something that is going to take two minutes just to put some idea down and the next thing I know, ten hours have gone by and my family is screaming at me because they want me to come up to have dinner with them Picture Quote #1

I love roasting because you can give it love, get it in the oven and go and play with the kids or whatever you’ve got to do, and then hours later you’ve got a lovely dinner Picture Quote #1

We all fantasize about work that uses our creativity, is self-directed, happens during the hours we choose, and occurs in an attractively lit setting with fascinating people - you know, jobs like women have on TV Picture Quote #1

I would direct TV. That’s a little different. It’s more of a contained world as a director. When you’re doing a film you get on the rollercoaster, you put the safety bar down and then you’re gone. And it’s hard. It’s hard, too, as a parent, I think, because the hours are so long. It’s hard Picture Quote #1

If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours Picture Quote #1

I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours Picture Quote #1

Having worked in disasters, I have seen that, in those critical first few hours, those first few days - so much ends up riding on you and your neighbor and whoever is around. The official response always comes later, and it always feels like it comes too slow Picture Quote #1

I guess I am basically most comfortable when I’m alone. As a kid, I was very much a loner. I love long distance running and long distance biking. A director once pointed out that those are all very isolated exercises you do for hours at a time Picture Quote #1

Swimming is probably the ultimate of burnout sports. It’s ironic because millions of people who swim as their regular exercise love the meditation aspect of it; you don’t wind up with any orthopedic injuries. But when you swim at a world class level for hours and hours - the loneness of the long distance runner Picture Quote #1

Music for me is a bit more spiritual. There are moments when I’m sitting at my piano, and I don’t realize that I’ve been playing for two hours - it feels like divine power. I know it’s so cheesy Picture Quote #1

If you want to give it a good go, you’ve got to make some sacrifices and be as dedicated as you can be. Particularly with ‘Doctor Who.’ It’s two or three hours of line-learning a night Picture Quote #1

I feel like my body doesn’t judge the hours, you know? It doesn’t care if it’s daytime or nighttime Picture Quote #1

They say teenagers can sleep all day. I often used to look at dogs and be amazed by the way they seemed to sleep for twenty hours a day. But I envied them too. It was the kind of lifestyle I could relate to.We didn’t sleep for twenty hours, but we gave it our best shot Picture Quote #1

What’s difficult with doing ‘The Producers’ is your appetite is enormous. You want money; you want boards; you have huge desires. You’ve got to want more than anything for two and a half hours. Everything is heightened Picture Quote #1

I’m doing four hours of gymnastics training a day, six days a week and then an extra two to three hours in a fitness center as well Picture Quote #1

Outlets are turning away from phone polling, which can be problematic. For example, we did a poll for NBC around the Ebola crisis; we provided results in 24 hours. Their traditional phone poll would have taken a week to turn around. We’re showing people we can do high-quality work: we’ve proved that with the work we do with the media Picture Quote #1

I’ve spent hours and hours doing research into Appalachian folk music. My grandfather was a fiddler. There is something very immediate, very simple and emotional, about that music Picture Quote #1

Part of this individualism is you feel this pressure that you alone have to conquer the world, and if you don’t work all the hours God gives then you start feeling really guilty. If you can stop feeling guilty, then I think it’s easier to start doing what you want to do Picture Quote #1

I don’t love acting. How can you love something when you sit around 12 hours a day and work 10 minutes a day? I’m just doing it because it keeps me off the streets and out of jail Picture Quote #1

When I was young, I liked romance. But to me, romance is the opposite of domestic life. I just don’t want anyone in the apartment, not for longer than a few hours Picture Quote #1

I don’t like going to cities. I don’t mind maybe being in a city sometimes for a few hours, but I pretty much don’t like cities. I don’t even like passing through them Picture Quote #1

I don’t Twitter or blog. I’m bad at small talk, and don’t have good ‘chat’. Talk to me about publishing, and I can go on for hours Picture Quote #1

I know what it’s like to squander all your hours and all your tears and all your heart on something which turns out to be nothing. Don’t waste your time Picture Quote #1

Three has always been tougher than Two. Think of any of your famous threesomes. The Three Stooges? Look at the anger there. My bet is that before Curly was born, Moe and Larry could play together for hours without even a single poke in the eye. Huey, Dewey, and Louie? Donald Duck never had a moment’s peace. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly? I rest my case Picture Quote #1

Don’t waste life in doubts and fears; spend yourself on the work before you, well assured that the right performance of this hour’s duties will be the best preparation for the hours and ages that will follow it Picture Quote #1

The only way to be a novelist, to think that you can create something others will give themselves up to for a dozen hours or more, is to have psychotic self-belief Picture Quote #1

Most people dream a dream when they are asleep. But to be a writer, you have to dream while you are awake, intentionally. So I get up early in the morning, 4 o’clock, and I sit at my desk and what I do is just dream. After three or four hours, that’s enough. In the afternoon, I run. The next day, the dream will continue Picture Quote #1

I hope I am a psychotherapist’s dream. I’ve spent enough hours in therapy Picture Quote #1
