Eliot Sumner Quotes

I'm trying not to put pressure on myself to decide what to do at this moment, and just sort of go with what's happening.

As I get older, I'm trying to accept improvisation into my day-to-day living.

I'm going to take each day and each thing and each gig as it comes at me.

One has only to follow events, and you will be all right. The surest way is to take whatever comes as it comes.

This is how memories are made... by going with the flow.

I always live in the present. Every night, my mother asks me what I want for breakfast the next morning, and I say that I can only tell her that when I wake up the next day.

I have never planned things in life. I believe in living life or doing things to the moment.

I have no expectations. Not in a bad way, but I've learned that you can't plan ahead. I live day by day and see what happens.

I've never really had specific goals and stuff like that - I think I sort of learned early on that if you kind of let life roll in at your feet, you will get a lot of great stuff if you are just aware and open to it.

Whatever comes my way, I appreciate and do my best at, and if it were to fade someday, I guess I would find something else. But I just don't plan the future, I guess.

I don't think too far ahead.

I've always been the kind of girl that takes every day as it comes.

Rigidity is the enemy of acting. And I think that people who stay up all night focusing on every beat they're going to do the next day always end up getting screwed.

You can't think about what you're going to do. It just gets in the way. You have to be just available for life, otherwise you're not bringing anything to the party. So I don't lie awake thinking about what I'm going to do workwise. There's just too much going on.

I never plan tomorrow because I don’t even know what I’m doing today.

I used to be a big planner and had to have things figured out ahead of time, but I'm learning to love living in the moment. Last night, I called my friend up randomly and said, 'Where are you? I want to come see you!' It's not a new version of me. I'm just embracing it more.

I don't plan, because everything goes against my plans anyways. There's absolutely no point in planning anything. I'm just enjoying the moment. I'm meeting with a whole lot of people - casting directors, directors, agents. I have things going on everywhere, but I have no solid plans.

I'm a day-to-day-type person.

I kinda live where I find myself.

I try to avoid long-range plans and visions - that way I can more easily deal with anything new that comes up.

I've never made a plan for my life. I have just taken whatever opportunities have come and been very genuine with them.

I've always kind of been an in-the-moment kind of person. I don't think that far in advance or have any idea what's around the next corner.

I don't seem to have ever had a plan, but I have always been quite good at walking through doors when they are opened. I am never any good at anticipating what will happen next, but I always go for it when it does.

I do not see myself, I never make plans, I never set goals, and I never do that kind of stuff; I don't like to futurize, I barely know what I will do tomorrow, and because there is a working plan here, I've never futurized because life always surprises me with things even better.

Every day is a new experience and I take it as it comes.
