I didn't finish college, which is really weird because they awarded me the Alumni of Distinction recently.
Joely Fisher

I didn't finish the stories until we went to the Philippines and I got malaria. I couldn't work and I didn't have any money, but I had seven stories. So I wrote three or four more.
Denis Johnson

I didn't go to university. Didn't even finish A-levels. But I have sympathy for those who did.
Terry Prachett

I didn't really want to live, so anything that was an investment in time made me angry... but also I just felt sad. When the hopelessness is hurting you, it's the fixtures and fittings that finish you off.
Angelina Jolie

I do finish reading a script and say, Why are they making it and what are they talking about? I like to try and be responsible in my choices in that way.
Jennifer Connelly

I don't finish every story, but I probably write and send out three out of five of them.
Robert Sheckley

I don't keep any copy of my books around... they would embarass me. When I finish writing my books, I kick them in the belly, and have done with them.
Ludwig Bemelmans

I don't think I've ever read an old book through from start to finish. Not after more than six months after writing it, that is.
Nicholas Mosley

I don't write for an audience, I don't think whether my book will sell, I don't sell it before I finish writing it.
Ann Patchett

I forget a book as soon as I finish writing it, which is not always a good thing.
Anne Tyler

I guess my natural inclination is to finish what I started. We have a Conservative government in Nova Scotia. What I want to see is a Conservative government in Ottawa.
Peter MacKay

I had an awful first quarter but I picked it up. To all you single guys out there, it's not how you start the date, it's how you finish it sir. A lot of people can, you know, start the date with flowers and candy, but if you don't finish the date - you know what I mean?
Shaquille O'Neal

I have always been very calm on the outside. I'm not too stressed now just because I'm in formula one. For me, tomorrow will be another day whether I finish first or last. I have to do the maximum and I cannot ask any more from myself.
Fernando Alonso

I have always said that I want to finish my career with the Dolphins and this put me closer to that goal. I have been fortunate to break many personal records, but my overiding goal is to win a Super Bowl here in Miami.
Dan Marino

I have often noticed that ancestors never boast of the descendants who boast of ancestors. I would rather start a family than finish one. Blood will tell, but often it tells too much.
Don Marquis

I have to finish this book tour of almost 30 cities.
Iris Chang

I have to tell everyone that when I finish a film and it goes out and is released, I never look at my films again. I don't like looking back. I don't even like talking about 'em! So I'm really digging back in my memory because I don't like to sit and look at my films again.
Jim Jarmusch

I just felt that you can't have a character fall in love so madly as they did in the last movie and not finish it off, understand it, get some closure. That's why the movie is called 'Quantum of Solace' - that's exactly what he's looking for.
Daniel Craig

I knew I'd have to go to work in real estate or something else or I could never finish my novel.
Judith Rossner

I know certainly, when one job draws to a close, that I feel I'm simply never going to work again. No one will ever want me for anything ever again. I think that's a vulnerable moment in every actor's life, and it happens every time you finish a film.
Anjelica Huston
