Finishing It Quotes (page 17)

I'd love to do well on a big weekend with people watching and cheering, of course. But it's not fair to create an expectation level before I know what is realistic. I want to finish as well as possible. Is that top 20? Top 15? Top 25? You just have to play it by ear. Danica Patrick
I was quite emotional when I finished my lap, but had to wait for other drivers to cross the line to hear whether I'd actually done it. It feels very special, but I acknowledge that the old master, Nigel Mansell, took his 14 poles from only 16 races. Sebastian Vettel
I don't want to peak too early. The worry is that you never know until it's all over whether you peaked at all - and then you're finished and it's too late. Tom Courtenay
Ann Patchett quote: "I don't write for an audience, I don't think whether my book..."
I don't write for an audience, I don't think whether my book will sell, I don't sell it before I finish writing it. Ann Patchett
I think all of us who kind of live within the sport recognize that Davis Cup certainly could be a little more visible if perhaps there were some adjustments made to it, and it was made a little bit more easy to understand for the fans, if there's a little bit more of a start and finish line. Jim Courier

I think at the age I'm at, it's really hard for a film career, and I'm at a point in my life where I thought it would be a good idea to be a part of a good show and to be able to finish school. Hayden Panettiere
Color is a very critical thing. I've found that architects don't like colors. Engineers too. And so somebody has to stand in. Because this is the finish of it. It is the emotional part of a structure. I had great satisfaction in doing that. John Hench
For myself, I believed that that 13th of March should see a fight to the finish, cost what it might! for if Bloemfontein was to be taken, it would only be over our dead bodies. Christiaan Rudolf de Wet
You know, a song is like a kid. You bring it up. And sometimes something you thought was going to be fantastic, by the time it's finished, is a bit of a disappointment. Phil Collins
Lawrence Welk quote: "I just wrote a book, but don't go out and buy it yet, because..."
I just wrote a book, but don't go out and buy it yet, because I don't think it's finished yet. Lawrence Welk
As a result, I had to get my own playground which was my band Colours. This band lasted for about eight years and then the air was out of it and it was time to finish. Eberhard Weber
But this is what I want to do, and it is what I will continue doing until Judas Priest finishes, which, at the moment, I can't see that yet. It could be three years or five years, who knows? Glenn Tipton
Tim O'Reilly quote: "An invention has to make sense in the world it finishes in,..."
An invention has to make sense in the world it finishes in, not in the world it started. Tim O'Reilly
'The Movie' is something that I made with some friends of mine in L.A. My friend, Luke Eberl, is the filmmaker. He shot this movie and asked a bunch of his friends to be involved with it. I just saw him the other day and there is no money to finish the film. But, you know, I literally have a cameo in it. Olivia Thirlby
