Terry Pratchett Quotes

I've never had a plan, I've always done things from instinct.

I'm flying by the seat of my pants, never creating with a thought to what's up ahead!

I'm always surprised at what I actually end up doing because I don't have a strategy or a game plan, especially now that I'm making my own choices.

I fly from the seat of my pants, basically.

I don't plan. I don't think, 'I have to do this kind of part 'cause I've done that kind of part.' I'm not a very good planner.

I generally wade in blind and trust to fate and instinct to see me through.

I think that's the thing I learned at 'Saturday Night Live' - any time I would try and strategize, I would always, always fall on my face. Things worked out when I tried to make it about what I was feeling at that moment and what I was into in that moment of my life.

I really don't believe in planning my life. I am just going with the flow and following my heart.

I never had a plan; I always follow my intuition.

I live by the seat of my pants.

I'm not a big planner; I decide by intuition.

I think there are actors who are like, 'Okay, what am I doing, how am I doing it, what's the appeal? Tell me what to do, what are the exact lines from the script? Okay, I got it.' I am not that way. I would be a terrible bus driver. I'd want to be like, 'Oh, let's take this side road! Let's see what happens when we go down this back alley.'

My whole life has been one big improvisation.

I am very much a seat-of-the-pants actor. I will prepare when I have to. But I like being unprepared.

My methodology is not knowing what I'm doing and making that work for me.

There's actually something interesting about having no rehearsal time - you have to just walk in and go with your gut, which is exciting.

I have always moved by intuition alone. I have no system, literary or political. I have no guiding political idea.

As an idea occurs to me, I'll either follow it or not, but I'm more instinctive than master-planner about stuff.

I'm a big believer in spontaneity.

I'm very unpredictable, but at the end of the day, I'm working. Sometimes things change in my life. It's like, 'Hold up - that ain't feel good. That felt good.' And that's how I look at anything I do.

I am more of a surprise kind of guy. I love to find out as I go.

I research every part thoroughly. I talk it out with my actor friends, but then I throw it all away when I get to the set. You have to be spontaneous.

I do things on a whim.

I love flying by the seat of my pants, going at something instinctually.

I'm a guy who likes to make it up as he goes along.
