Doing Quotes (page 135)

Most of the things we do, we do for no better reason than that our fathers have done them or our neighbors do them, and the same is true of a larger part than what we suspect of what we think. Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.
Many writers secretly long to be performers. You always get the 'if you weren't a writer' question. I would be a back-up singer, to stand in the back and go like 'do, do, do.' Jennifer Weiner
I have a crazy amount of different jobs, so the way I manage that is to not do more than one at a time. It's like old computers that had small memory chips, they would do something called swapping, where they would fill the memory with one task, do it and get it out. Louis C. K.
There are people that really live by doing the right thing, but I don't know what that is, I'm really curious about that. I'm really curious about what people think they're doing when they're doing something evil, casually. I think it's really interesting, that we benefit from suffering so much, and we excuse ourselves from it. Louis C. K.
I think with comedy I get very sort of critical of myself and try and do the best I can and it doesn't come as second nature. I work at those kinds of films. It doesn't mean I can't do them - I've done two now, and I have a great time doing them, but I just find myself a little bit more neurotic. Elisha Cuthbert
I do believe that when you know better, you do better. You know what was wrong about the last relationship, and hopefully you will do better the next time. Elisha Cuthbert
Judy Martz quote: "If you can't do it and do it well, you can't do it, period."
If you can't do it and do it well, you can't do it, period. Judy Martz
Angie Martinez quote: "I am going to do as much as I can do, because I hate to do..."
I am going to do as much as I can do, because I hate to do anything and not give my all. Angie Martinez
It's nice to be able to work; I'd love to be able to do another TV show I could do in Chicago so I could live and work in the same place. It's hard being a parent and being in a good marriage, and it all takes a lot of work, but if you're not there you can't do any of it. Joan Cusack
I had an extremely boring time doing 20 to 30 trades a day while everyone was talking about baseball or basketball. So I stood there fantasizing about a device that could do the same thing I was doing. Thomas Peterffy
No matter how many times people say it - 'Oh, I'm just writing this for myself' 'Oh, I'm just doing this for myself' - nobody's doing it for themselves! You're doing it for an audience. So whether I'm performing or writing a book or playing music, it's definitely to be put out there and to be received in some way, definitely. Steve Martin
When I first started doing my comedy act, I just desperately needed material. So I took literally everything I knew how to do on stage with me, which was juggling, magic and banjo and my little comedy routines. I always felt the audience sorta tolerated the serious musical parts while I was doing my comedy. Steve Martin
What career? A man's got a body of film of about four movies in about 10 years or something. I do it because I think I can do a good job of something and I'll enjoy it, do it, and sort of vanish. I don't want to be an actor for hire. Paul Hogan
Ice Cube quote: "I still enjoy doing music. I'm not going to stop doing it, and..."
I still enjoy doing music. I'm not going to stop doing it, and doing it the way that I feel it should be done. Ice Cube
Most artists work all the time, they do actually, especially good artists, they work all the time, what else is there to do? I mean you do. David Hockney
