By and large, I think that comics work seriously hard. Many have other jobs as well, plus you never really switch off, so you're always working.
One of my favorite modern American authors is Denis Johnson. I'm deeply inspired by all of his work - I rip him off constantly.
It's not a bad day at work when you just have to take your shirt off for a big franchise movie. There are worse jobs out there!
I once didn't work out for six weeks. It took me for ever to get the weight off.
What helped me most were my failures and slumps - when I couldn't get work, people weren't interested in me or had written me off.
It was tough for him in that newsroom with Ted Baxter getting all the glory and this poor guy doing all the work. Murray worried so much he worried his hair off!
There are rhythmic ideas which sometimes only work up to a point. In writing there are moments when it just comes off the page, it's not just a collection of notes.
I just work out hard enough that, if I'm craving something, I eat it and know I'm going to burn it off the next day with extra intensity.
The mother-in-law had an accident at work. A hot rivet dropped down her drawers and she fell off the oil rig.
With Instapaper, I can take a few months off. I can't stop publishing 'The Magazine' for two months and work on something else.
I kind of have a happy magnet. I can't stand being depressed, so I work my ass off to get out of it as soon as possible.
I'm motivated every second by my work; it doesn't switch off. The pictures I make come from every blink of my lashes.
I can work my butt off and create an album that's wonderful, but if it's never played and never given the outlet, it won't succeed.
If you take the approach that you want to scrape every last nickel off the table, that'll work one or two times, but after awhile, your reputation will precede you.
I'd much rather be a woman than a man. Women can cry, they can wear cute clothes, and they're the first to be rescued off sinking ships.
For me, getting off the sidelines means women making a difference by letting their voices be heard on the issues they care about.
Domestic terrorism has opened new war zones, operating off the assumption that all Americans are potential terrorists.
Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone.
Pain,without love Pain, I can't get enough Pain, I like it rough cuz I'd rather feel Pain than nothing at all. You're sick of feeling numb You're not the only one I'll take you by the hand and I'll show you a world that you can understand This life i...
Rebecca: Oh! It's that comedian I was telling you about. [she turns up the volume on her television, which is showing an odd-looking man performing stand-up comedy] Rebecca: See this bit, it's the absolute worst. Joey McCobb, the Stand Up Comic: [on ...
Bella Swan: Jasper? Are you sure there's nothing I can do to help? Jasper Hale: Well just your presence alone, your scent, will distract the newborns. Their hunting instinct will take over, and drive 'em crazy. Bella Swan: Good, I'm glad. [Jasper nod...
