I have a tendency to postpone starting a piece until it's kicked around in my head a little bit.
A lot of actors know they want to be actors a little bit earlier on. I didn't even really start studying until I was about 22.
I refused to do a lot on mobile Internet until around 2009. But because we didn't start early, it took us some time to figure out what's the important thing, what's the most relevant thing for Baidu.
I regret not starting to paint earlier...It is one of the few things I do regret.
I am so lazy and sometimes will go as late as 9 A.M. to shoot.
Life is not too short... we just wait too long to begin it.
I came to New York late; I was already past 30.
I can't remember anybody saying, Let's get this show on the road.
I started writing songs later in life because I just couldn't commit to it before.
I'm kinda mad that I had to wait 28 years to jump on a skateboard.
I didn't start boxing until I was 18 but I believe that is a big advantage now. If you start too young, it's easy to become distracted.
It is better to begin in the evening than not at all.
I came into my own, you might say, in terms of putting out my first record quite late in life. And yet there's some authors and photographers and even probably recording artists that didn't really hit their stride until their mid-50s.
The worst part was waiting around. Sometimes you are ready at 9 a.m. and you don't start until the afternoon. Occupying your time while you wait is the hardest part of the movie.
I started very late in the game, and it hasn't changed my path to success.
I was a little late in the game for Twitter and Facebook and everything because I thought, 'Oh, I don't know. I just don't have time.'
I didn't write anything until I was well over 30.
I wish I'd gone to music school or just started playing in bands sooner.
We haven't even gotten a start date but we'll see what happens with that and that will be fun. I've gotten a couple of other things but I'm not really committing myself to anything yet.
'Purple Plumeria' I dithered over for months and then wrote the whole thing between the beginning of July and end of August. The dithering and procrastination time was three times the writing times.
Life loiters at the book's first page,-- Ah! could we turn the leaf.
I'm currently writing a screenplay that I haven't started yet.
I was much too late when I found out about my passion for motor racing. I was 18.
'Show up at the desk' is one of the first rules of writing, but for 'Wolf Hall' I was about 30 years late.
I was nearly 40 when I started. I had no fear that I wasn't going to write. I knew it was just delayed. Then, my goodness, I never stopped.
