The joy of doing 'Sandman' was doing a comic and telling people, 'No, it has an end,' at a time when nobody thought you could actually get to the end and stop doing a comic that people were still buying just because you'd finished.
Putting out a debut album is a bit scary - I want it to be just right, so I took some extra time to finish it. Eminem's increased involvement has been such a blessing; I'm getting guidance from an artist I really admire and trust.
When I was growing up, I loved the films where you'd start them and the score might sound really odd at first and really different, and then by the time you finish, you can't imagine it being any other way.
[the crew has finished resupplying, so fresh food is everywhere] Kriechbaum: Hey! Move this stuff now! Clear the map! I can't navigate on bananas!
Zhivago: [to Komarowski about Lara] What happens to a girl like that when a man like you is finished with her? Komarovski: [Flippantly] Interested? I give her to you!
J.M. Barrie: Who amongst you is ready to tie your hopes and dreams to the sea? Michael Llewelyn Davies: I am! J.M. Barrie: Not finished yet.
Melvin Udall: [finishing his latest romance novel] "'You saved my life,' she said... 'You'd better make it up to me.'"
[first lines] Lambeau: Mod fx... squared... dx. So please finish Parceval, by next time. I know many of you had this as undergraduates, but it won't hurt to brush up.
Harry Potter: Come on Tom, let's finish this the way we started, together.
[Sid and the baby are fighting] Manfred: Don't make me reach back there. Sid: He started it. Manfred: I don't care who started it. I'll finish it.
Joe Gordon: That's the way things go: you think you got a great yarn, and something comes along and messes up the finish - and there you are.
Waldo Lydecker: You'd better watch out, McPherson, or you'll finish up in a psychiatric ward. I doubt they've ever had a patient who fell in love with a corpse.
[Jordan finishes a story of a recent kidnapping] Samuel: So what happened? Jordan: Family paid the ransom. And they sent the kid home after a couple of days... minus an ear, of course.
Sam Bell: You'd be okay? GERTY: Of course. The new Sam and I will be back to our programming as soon as I finished rebooting. Sam Bell: Gerty, we're not programmed. We're people, do you understand?
Ed: You gonna thank me then? Shaun: For what? Ed: Tidying up! Shaun: Doesn't look that tidy. Ed: Well, I had a few beers when I finished.
Sherlock Holmes: [after they finish a short waltz] Who taught you to dance like that? Dr. John Watson: [with a smile of reminiscence] You did.
Rose: Teach me to ride like a man. Jack: And chew tobacco like a man. Rose: And spit like a man! Jack: What, they didn't teach you that in finishing school?
I didn't finish the stories until we went to the Philippines and I got malaria. I couldn't work and I didn't have any money, but I had seven stories. So I wrote three or four more.
No movie has ever got enough time. It doesn't matter how much money you've got, and it doesn't matter how much money you've not got. You never finish on time. You're always up against it and you're always working up until the end.
Sarah Palin is treated like a bimbo sometimes, but she has never given the public the respect they deserve. She acts silly and doesn't know stuff. She didn't even finish her term.
I didn't really want to live, so anything that was an investment in time made me angry... but also I just felt sad. When the hopelessness is hurting you, it's the fixtures and fittings that finish you off.
