Rachel McAdams Quotes

How to use your leisure time is the biggest problem of a ballplayer.

I've been asked whether I have a hobby, and have felt strangely offended that anyone would assume I have the time.

I just feel I shouldn't work too much, because there are so many other things to do.

The only way to have time is to shut down and then do what you want to do.

In college, everything's structured. In the NBA, it's like, you have a lot of free time, and you have to use it wisely. A lot of the time, you're in a hotel room all day. And rest is really the most important thing. Then, just trying to enjoy yourself and have fun.

You don't have to get things done all the time to be productive.

The ultimate goal of a more effective and efficient life is to provide you with enough time to enjoy some of it.

I have a life outside of skating.

I like to cook for myself or others, so I cook. I always read at night. Sometimes I go to the movies. I don't go out wildly during the week.

The trouble with making music as a job is that I have no outside interests. All I can do to wind down is go to sleep.

I work very, very hard, so when I do get the chance to go out socially, it's a relatively big night. I also have hobbies on the side, and quite often, one runs into the other.

Now that I'm older, I see the benefits of having free time to release energy.
