I start a lot more songs than I finish, because I realize when I get into them, they're no good. I don't throw them away, I just put them away, store them, get them out of sight.
Johnny Cash

I start a picture and I finish it.
Jean-Michel Basquiat

I think everyone who makes movies should be forced to do television. Because you have to finish. You have to get it done, and there are a lot of decisions made just for the sake of making decisions. You do something because it's efficient and because it gets the story told and it connects to the audience.

I write easily, let's put it that way. And in a novel particularly, the characters take over. And they tell me what to say and they tell me what they're doing. And I'm a third of the way into a novel and then I just let the characters finish it for me.

I've done it with Broadcast News-where there was no finish line, there was no agenda that I had to move all the characters to this point, that I was sort of open to what happens.
James L. Brooks

I've got more important things to think about. I've got a yogurt to finish by today, the expiry date is today.
Gordon Strachan

I've got to go. That's one of the penalties of being a doctor. I never seem to finish a conversation.

If a story isn't working, I'm simply unable to finish it. That's what usually tells me something is wrong.
