The only deadline is the one I give myself.

The best thing for my creative process is a deadline.

I think I've succeeded more by learning what needed to be done next and getting help in getting it done. I was just very focused and impatient.

I've worked my whole life and never missed a deadline.

Be able to meet any deadline, even if your work is done less well than it would be if you had all the time you would have preferred.

One, I push my deadlines closer than anybody else, or let's say it this way: I'm really late.

I've learned over decades of building that a deadline is a potent tool for problem-solving.

I don't have these crazy deadlines. I don't have this, 'Oh it's got to be out tomorrow.' I don't like working like that.

I write pretty much year-round, but I definitely do more when a deadline is looming.
