Doing It Quotes

I have more perspective now, and am happier now. It’s not that I don’t want success, but I now know I can have success at a lower level and make much more money doing it by myself. I make $6 or $7 bucks a record vs. nothing off those other records Picture Quote #1

If something seems possible, that’s probably because someone is already doing it. When something seems that it can’t possibly work, nobody tries it. Real innovation happens when someone tries anyway, overlooking an obvious flaw, and finds a way to make an idea work Picture Quote #1

My favorite water cooler topic is fantasy football. I used to make fun of friends for doing it and now I’m obsessed Picture Quote #1

When you play music with someone who has a heart rather than playing with someone who is just doing it for money or is cynical it makes all the difference Picture Quote #1

It comes down to something really simple: Can I visualize myself playing those scenes? If that happens, then I know that I will probably end up doing it Picture Quote #1

If we don’t have an informed electorate we don’t have a democracy. So I don’t care how people get the information, as long as they get it. I’m just doing it my particular way and I feel lucky I can do it the way I want to do it Picture Quote #1

Every physical system registers information, and just by evolving in time, by doing its thing, it changes that information, transforms that information, or, if you like, processes that information Picture Quote #1

Try a thing you haven’t done three times. Once, to get over the fear of doing it. Twice, to learn how to do it. And a third time to figure out whether you like it or not Picture Quote #1

You have to kill to survive. People have been doing it forever. I eat meat, and I eat fish. If I were on a deserted island I would need that to survive Picture Quote #1

You can not do what you want to do unless you know the correct technique. The only other way you can learn how to do it is by doing it yourself, which would take twice as long than if you went to school Picture Quote #1

Some genres I’m not a huge fan of but there are always exceptions that break the rules. There are always a few people doing it in a way weird enough to grab my attention Picture Quote #1

Some of the best times in my life happened under the influence of drugs... I’d still be doing it if I could make good judgement calls. I’d still be doing it if I didn’t blow up to the size of an aircraft hangar, because it was a great time Picture Quote #1

Keep writing. Keep doing it and doing it. Even in the moments when it’s so hurtful to think about writing Picture Quote #1

You don’t become great by trying to be great. You become great by wanting to do something, and then doing it so hard that you become great in the process Picture Quote #1

We must not indulge in unfavorable views of mankind, since by doing it we make bad men believe they are no worse than others, and we teach the good that they are good in vain Picture Quote #1

Because of the fashion, the young people don’t have any access to the history of music, unless people like me revive it. There are very few people to revive it, because you can’t earn any money doing it Picture Quote #1

I’m always shy in front of an audience, so I’m always at the back, in the shadows, just doing it. I don’t like the front, the adulation Picture Quote #1

The essence of sports is that while you’re doing it, nothing else matters, but after you stop, there is a place, generally not very important, where you would put it Picture Quote #1

And all writing is creating or spinning dreams for other people so they won’t have to bother doing it themselves Picture Quote #1

It is not a matter of being fearless. The fear is sometimes constant, but it’s about moving forward regardless of the fear. Courage means feeling the fear and doing it anyway Picture Quote #1

You look at any giant corporation, and I mean the biggies, and they all started with a guy with an idea, doing it well Picture Quote #1

I recall that my workshop leaders were tactful in their ways of acquainting me with my shortcomings as a writer. So much so that I hardly realized they were doing it. I want always to keep that sort of thing in mind when I’m teaching. The way you get better in everything in this life is to make mistakes. Otherwise you’re probably doing it right by accident. But you have to do everything wrong before you can really start with some authority to do it right Picture Quote #1

Punk rock has become another viable art form. It always was. But now it’s like everyone’s doing it Picture Quote #1

I’m obsessive enough about getting fit, it’s ridiculous. I’m 40 now, and I’ve got to stop doing it soon. I have to start getting fat and old! Picture Quote #1

It’s a waste of energy to think about what somebody else is doing and how they doing it. I’ma just do what I do Picture Quote #1

If you didn’t have patents, no one would bother to spend money on research and development. But with patents, if someone has a good idea and a competitor can’t copy it, then that competitor will have to think of their own way of doing it. So then, instead of just one innovator, you have two or three people trying to do something in a new way Picture Quote #1

There is just as much evil in all of us as there is good. We’re all continuously guilty, even if we’re not doing it intentionally to be evil. Here we are sitting in luxury hotels, living it up on the the backs of others in the third world. We all have a guilty conscience, but we do very little about it Picture Quote #1

When you do something that you like, and you think you can keep doing it, you don’t think about retiring Picture Quote #1

For me, when I was a kid, volunteering was the last thing I was thinking about. When I see kids doing it now, it amazes me. It’s very impressive, it gives them something productive to do as opposed to getting in trouble. For them to take time out at such a young age is remarkable. I think all kids should take a little time out to volunteer Picture Quote #1

You just stay the course, and do what it is that you do, and grow while you’re doing it. Eventually it will either come full circle, or at least you’ll go to bed at night happy Picture Quote #1
