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 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

I literally have meetings at eight o'clock in the morning, and I finish at nine o'clock at night. It sounds pathetic, but I don't even have time to go shopping.
Stella McCartney

I loved working with Valerie. That was the most wonderful revelation to find that when we are on a set and we're playing our roles, we're like separated twins. We can almost finish each other's dialogue.
Mary Tyler Moore

I really enjoy acting. At home I can't even finish a sentence, and here I am reading these wonderful lines. I think it must be every housewife's dream, to be an actress part-time.
Meg Tilly
