Deadlines have a lousy name. Call them live-lines instead. That´t what they are.
It's always good to be working.
I like to work. I don't like to have lulls. I feel like it makes me lazy and uncreative, and that's when your ideas become stagnant.
I love working. I feel guilty about doing nothing; I get bored.
I do not really think about age. I am just sort of trying to get as much done before I get old and can't.
Those who have most to do, and are willing to work, will find the most time.
I find myself working ten steps ahead of where I actually am on my laptop or keyboard, but I know what the ten steps are. I just haven't got to them yet.
I'm happiest when I'm working. If I'm not working, I feel like I'm wasting my time.
We've waged war on work. We have collectively agreed, stupidly, that work is the enemy.
That's the mindset I'm in, is do what I can do, do what I can control, and stay productive. I feel like it can get depressing really fast, being home and not having anything to do. I think being productive is important.
Love of action is not industry.
There is no point in being lazy.
I have so many designs and video ideas and lyrics in my head, so I always try to be productive.
If someone gives me a to-do list, I say 'thank you, this is nice.' One needs things to throw in the wastebasket.
Even a day writing badly for me is 10 times better than a day where I don’t write at all.
Too many people spend more time planning how to get the job than on how to become productive and successful in that job.
Lose no time; be always employed in something useful.
You don't have to get things done all the time to be productive.
The really happy people are those who have broken the chains of procrastination, those who find satisfaction in doing the job at hand. They're full of eagerness, zest, productivity. You can be, too.
I had to educate him that there was no such thing as writer's block, that writers write when they write, and when they don't, they don't.
I never really have to sit at a desk thinking, "What should I do now?" It doesn't work like that for me, and it never has. My thinking process is constant. The difference is that once I was in Antwerp only doing two men's shows a year. And the weird thing is I thought I was busy then.
You should go to work every day a little bit nervous.
The most successful people are those who do all year long what they would otherwise do on their summer vacation.
Every hour of useful work is precious.
We have this idea that we need to be in the mood to write. We don't.
