Doing It Quotes

You know, when I think about what I’m doing, what I’m doing and the way I’m doing it is more important to me than any amount of money or anything like that because it’s my artistic work Picture Quote #1

There’s no greatest moment in the arts. It’s a life; it’s a continuity thing. You can’t have a great moment because it’s spiritual. It’s a belief; it’s a calling. If you’re an artist, doing your own thing on your own, it’s while you’re doing it that counts. It’s a process. If you get too elated, you can get too depressed Picture Quote #1

I had been working purely abstractly for so long, it was important for me to see whether I was working abstractly because I couldn’t work any other way, or whether I was doing it out of choice Picture Quote #1

You will face boredom and frustration your entire career as artists. You will be very frustrated seeking a voice/style that collectors can connect with. Once you accomplish that voice/style people are clamoring for, you will become bored doing it Picture Quote #1

I do not need the musing of the philosophers to tell me what I am doing. It would be more interesting to let me know why I am doing it Picture Quote #1

In collage you’re doing it in stages so you’re not actually doing it right there. You first of all draw it on the paper, then you cut it up, then you paste it down, then you change it, then you shove it about, then you may paint bits of it over, so actually you’re not making the picture there and then, you’re making it through a process, so it’s not so spontaneous Picture Quote #1

I think of myself as a beginner. Sometimes that’s the whole joy. If you could just do it, there’d be no point in doing it Picture Quote #1

Writing a novel is a very hard thing to do because it covers so long a space of time, and if you get discouraged it is not a bad sign, but a good one. If you think you are not doing it well, you are thinking the way real novelists do. I never knew one who did not feel greatly discouraged at times, and some get desperate, and I have always found that to be a good symptom Picture Quote #1

Cultivate your own garden and let go of your tendency to examine and judge how others cultivate theirs. Catch yourself in moments of gossip about how others ought to be living and rid yourself of thoughts about how they should be doing it this way, or how they have no right to live and think as they do. Stay busy and involved in your own projects and pursuits Picture Quote #1

Have fun, that’s what it’s all about. People get stressed over it... Let competition eat them up. That’s not me, I just get in and have fun. That’s what I’m here to do: Have fun and make some money doing it Picture Quote #1

I think there’s a fundamental moral issue about whether it’s right for a machine to decide to kill a person. It’s bad enough that people are deciding to kill people, but at least they have perhaps some moral argument that they’re doing it to ultimately defend their families or prevent some greater evil Picture Quote #1

There’s plenty of opportunity for everyone, so there’s no reason to worry about somebody else’s success, either saying you couldn’t do this so she’s better than you, or she’s doing it so you can’t. No, she’s doing it so you can Picture Quote #1

The perfect thing for me is to be on something I love, where I’m doing it and have enough money not to be poor, and I’m allowed to go on vacation Picture Quote #1

If I feel like I’m writing from an agenda, that’s when I throw something away. If I have a strategy I feel like I’m doing it for the wrong reasons Picture Quote #1

It’s relatively easy to act nice and normal in front of a crowd, or in public. The tricky part is doing it in private Picture Quote #1

As an actor, you have an accumulated knowledge base. But there’s also something about it that every time you really feel like you’re doing it for the first time; you have no idea whether you’re capable of it Picture Quote #1

I don’t actually talk about my books much, because I find if I talk about them I don’t want to write them anymore. I write to find out what happens. You know how you read a book? That’s what I’m doing except I’m just doing it a lot slower because it takes a lot longer to do Picture Quote #1

There’s a great temptation to clean everything up and make everything more perfect. You have to know when to stop and stop doing it, or you might end up with something that sounds metronomic Picture Quote #1

I see myself on top, doing what I love to do, and doing it the way I want to do it. No rules, just doing my own thing Picture Quote #1

Music actually meant something when I started doing it. Too bad I wasn’t mature enough to write anything that meant anything Picture Quote #1

If you’re nervous about doing something, plan to do it badly, giving yourself credit for just doing it. That takes a weight off your shoulders because anyone can do something badly Picture Quote #1

There is freedom in being a writer and writing. It is fulfilling your function. I used to think freedom meant doing whatever you want. It means knowing who you are, what you are supposed to be doing on this earth, and then simply doing it Picture Quote #1

Christianity offers reasons for not fearing death or the universe, and in so doing it fails to teach adequately the virtue of courage Picture Quote #1

Everyone has to grow up and that’s what we’re all doing; we’re just doing it in different ways Picture Quote #1

I can do a limited amount of things and that’s what I do and I feel comfortable doing it and I have no particular desire to do anything else as an actor Picture Quote #1

This walking business is overrated: I mastered the art of doing it when I was quite small, and in any case, what are taxis for? Picture Quote #1

It’s tremendously hard work. Yes, I love arranging the words and having them fall on the ear the right way and you know you’re not quite there and you’re redoing it and redoing it and there’s a wonderful thrill to it. But it is hard Picture Quote #1

I believe in just doing it and not looking for excuses because who really cares in the end? No one but oneself Picture Quote #1

All of us take an interest, to a greater or lesser extent, in what people around us look like, what they are doing, and why they are doing it Picture Quote #1

It got to a point of where it was ruining my health and I just hated it. I hated doing it and I couldn’t stop without some kind of help to get the longing for it out of my system Picture Quote #1
