A writer's working hours are his waking hours. He is working as long as he is conscious and frequently when he isn't.
I write fantasy because it's there. I have no other excuse for sitting down for several hours a day indulging my imagination. Daydreaming. Thinking up imaginary people, impossible places.
Music is a 24-hour-a-day thing for me.
Life - life - let there be life! Better a thousand times the roaring hours When wave and wind, Like the Arch-Murderer in flight From the Avenger at his heel, Storm through the desolate fastnesses And wild waste places of the world!
It's amazing when you get to a certain age, and you talk about sleep in the same way you spoke about getting inebriated. . . I got eight hours last night. It was fantastic!
I'm the classic absent-minded professor: I'm very focused on something, and meanwhile, I've left the refrigerator door open for hours.
Sometimes I can be on a cloud and then two hours later feel really small.
I'm one of those fellows so frightened of driving that I go 80 miles an hour - and the more frightened I get, the faster I go.
It takes me probably about four hours to get into the groove [with making music]. And it's really important for me to not break the groove.
Hours and days and months and years go by; the past returns no more, and what is to be we cannot know; but whatever the time gives us in which we live, we should therefore be content.
Most of the beauties of travel are due to the strange hours we keep to see them
What though my winged hours of bliss have been, Like angel visits, few and far between.
The average kindergartner has seen more than 5,000 hours of TV-more time than it takes to earn a bachelor's degree.
Without husbands, women have to focus on earning more. They work longer hours, they're willing to relocate and they're more likely to choose higher-paying fields like technology.
There are only 24 hours in a day, and my top priority is working on my films, but I love short film experiments.
I work out in a studio. Every day, regardless where I am, at least two hours. I need it. I can't cease it.
All our sweetest hours fly fastest.
The tree I had in the garden as a child, my beech tree, I used to climb up there and spend hours. I took my homework up there, my books, I went up there if I was sad, and it just felt very good to be up there among the green leaves and the birds and the sky.
. . . (that) any general system of conveying passengers would. . . go at a velocity exceeding ten miles an hour, or thereabouts, is extremely improbable.
I have all these computers and keyboards and synthesizers, and I rattle away. For instance, with The Lion King I wrote over four hours worth of tunes, and they were really pretty -but totally meaningless. So in the end I came up with material I liked. We worked on The Lion King for four years, but I wasn't toying until the last three-and-a-half weeks properly. On Crimson Tide, on the other hand, I just went in and within seconds I knew what I wanted.
