Quote

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

There are always deadlines I have to meet. I don't let myself get too close to the deadlines, so it's not like I'm just sweating bullets or anything if the clock is ticking. I never let myself get in that situation.

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.

If there's a deadline, I work late. If not, I like to have normal hours, and get up early and work. When things are going well, I hate to quit. And then I'll work 'till exhausted.

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

I am one of those people who thrive on deadlines, nothing brings on inspiration more readily than desperation.

At some point, I would like to write a book and other things, but I work best when there is some sort of deadline in my own mind, but not when fifty people or fifty million people are breathing down the back of my neck.

I envy people who can think, 'No, I'm not going to work today' when they have a huge pile of deadlines stacking up.

I'm not panicking any more or worrying about the next job. It was exhausting and making me very unhappy, and I was missing out on life.
