Timothy B. Schmit Quotes

I always like to grow, and I recognise that the Yellow Submarine have helped me.

It is not true that people stop pursuing dreams because they grow old, they grow old because they stop pursuing dreams.

When you start being enthusiastic about whatever it is you like, that is the golden age for you.

For me, anything that you take on, you want to be challenged. That's what makes the job exciting.

A lot of my career and my drive and my passion and my striving to be better and better was built on insecurity.

I love what I do. I love the invigoration of doing things I haven't done before.

I'm definitely excited about getting better.

Every time I do something new, it makes me a bit stronger. Playing huge shows, being invited to play with Nile Rodgers after the Brits - all are mindblowing and I have a great team around me who are empowering. It makes all the difference.

As long as you are happy and passionate about what you are doing, you will always develop your skills to be the best you can be.

When you get older, you're running out of time. You care more about trying to stay on the planet a little longer, so you can learn how to draw better!

Even though I get older, what I do never gets old, and that's what I think keeps me hungry.

Success is a nice by-product but what I really want is work.

My enthusiasm seems to cause my world to endlessly offer me cooperative, co-creating experiences. I'm willing and I'm eager, and not just about my writing - I feel the same way about staying in shape, enjoying my family, giving a lecture, or whatever it may be.

Be passionate. Be courageous. Be your best.

To keep the edge, you just keep doing something new. I'm not gonna say that working is easy, but while I'm doing it, I'm just a happy little moron - that's how my girlfriend describes me. The fact that nothing might happen with those things is not the point. The point is, I'm doing new things, and I have a good feeling in my soul.

You have to wonder at times what you're doing out there. Over the years, I've given myself a thousand reasons to keep running, but it always comes back to where it started. It comes down to self-satisfaction and a sense of achievement.

There were some jobs I wanted that weren't necessarily right for me at the time. The ones I thought I'd never get, I got. As long as I am doing the best work I can possibly do at any given time, I can't do any better than that.

Nearly all the things I do that are of any merit at all start off just being good fun, and I think I'm sort of building up to doing something else quite soon.

I'm so in control of my life, you shouldn't dislike anything I do-because I'm not only in the best place I've ever been, but it keeps getting better and better.

I am really looking forward as I get older and older, to being less and less nice.

What matters to me is learning and growing, and getting to do what I love to do. As long as I can do that, I'm happy.

I'm a person who gets better with practice. Getting older is awesome - because you get more practice.
