Seth Green Quotes

When you're at work, it's about being present and getting as much done as humanly possible.

I'm at my desk before nine, and I go all day. I'm not necessarily productive all day, but really, who is?

I like to try to do a little work before I do anything in the morning, even if it's a paragraph.

Work is my top priority.

Every day I'm not working or writing is a wasted day to me.

If you love what you do, then you always find the time.

If I leave my computer, I'm probably not going to get back for hours. If I take a few minutes to answer questions and go web surfing, then guilt kicks in and I get back to work.

I'm at the gym at 6, so I'm usually in my office by 7:15. And I try to not schedule a lot of meetings before 8. So I've got that first hour to get myself organized for the day and to make sure that I've structured what I want to do.

Every morning, I go off to a small studio behind my house to write. I try to ignore all email and phone calls until lunchtime. Then I launch into the sometimes frantic busy-ness of a tightly scheduled day.

I find myself more and more behind these days. You have to be really diligent. I don't have kids, which helps. I'm always working on something, whether a book, or a law review article that no one will ever read, or teaching. It pretty much means I work a lot, but it's all stuff I love.

I have too many friends who tell me that they spend the first hour of every morning going through their e-mail messages. I'd like to use my time more carefully.

I'm terrible in the mornings, but I'm always at my desk by 10 A.M.

I can handle a lot of work. I've always been able to. I'm a very focused individual. I come to my studio at about 7:30 in the morning and exit almost 5:00 P.M. In that time, those eight or nine hours, it's kind of laser focus on whatever I'm working on. There aren't really any distractions or anything.

A lot of people thought I wasn't doing anything because I was spending a lot of time socialising and going out, but I've always managed to get work actually done.

When the time comes to work, I work.

Work will take everything you give it. It's up to you to work out what you want to give it.

I knew I could control one thing, and that is my time and my hours and my effort and my efficiency.

Once you get into the habit of work, you can be more productive in the things you want to do.

There'll come a writing phase where you have to defend the time, unplug the phone and put in the hours to get it done.

I get up at 4:30 in the morning, seven days a week, no matter where I am in the world.

I myself would like to become more disciplined within my work.

I like to start the day early, it keeps me out of trouble.

I always got my work done before playing.

I have to admit, I sometimes wonder how much more successful I would have been as a coach had it not been for my spending summers on the golf course. I could have watched more film, that's for sure. One advantage Joe Paterno had over me was that he didn't play golf.

I like to work and it kind of keeps me in line, which is very good because I need that structure.
