I spend about a year between novels.
I first read War And Peace about 100 years after Tolstoy wrote it.
My debut feature, 'The Baby-Sitters Club,' got good reviews and made good money for what it cost. But it took me six years to get to direct my second feature. I think a guy would have had another movie out the same year.
I'm still shocked when people say, 'You haven't done a studio record in 20 years.' I try to make excuses for it, but the truth is I just wasn't with it.
Well, I always leave massive gaps between albums.
... the lead is now 6.9 seconds. In fact it's just under 7 seconds
How often does one get to have a 20-year hiatus of a character and then come back as an adult?
I think that Indy is special to me. The greater the distance between the last time I drove an Indy car and the next time, I wouldn't like that to be too big.
There's no grace period between album one and album two.
I have a long way to catch up. I have to start with the pros this year, about 20 seconds back.
The gap between the two cars is 0.9 of a second, which is less than one second
When you do a film, you start to get the character, and then it disappears for a year before it's released and you get feedback.
Waiting is a dry desert between where we are and where we want to be. (Finding My Way Home)
When you add a period of 25 years between the playing and the listening, then the whole question of meaning gets very complicated.
I spent six years after my first novel and five years after my second without getting into a new book.
Quite understandably, people think that if there's a six-year gap or whatever, that it's taken me six years to make the album. It's not really like that at all.
We recorded the record on a Saturday afternoon March 30th and I heard the record for the first time on April 6th. I was driving to school, literally seven days later.
An absence of meaning opens a gap in time.
Certain songs have been written years apart, but they have a natural continuity to my mind.
It took seventeen years to get from my second novel, 'Truck,' to my third, 'Geek Love.'
I've tried to do every album in a different style, which is why I tend to leave a fair bit of time between each one.
I shot 'Girl' about three weeks after I finished 'The Magnificent Seven.'
It is not easy to go away and come back. One year out of MMA is like five years out of MMA. When you leave and go do something else, like pro wrestling, you're so far behind the times.
We don't dwell on the business of Korra restoring everyone's bending in 'Book 2,' but we figured she got around to helping the innocent people who lost it in the months between the seasons.
The Russians imitate French ways, but always at a distance of fifty years.
