I think about everything first. I think about the scenario: the story and the characters, what I'm trying to say and I'll think about that for a couple of days until it's all locked in and then when I get to an instrument it'll just fall out. But the song's kind of all ready there in my head.
‐‐ Graham Russell
I think about fanaticism - oblivion awaits, especially for minor writers, so you have to be a fanatic; you have to be a crank to keep going, but on the other hand, what else would you do with the rest of your life? You gotta do something.
‐‐ Cynthia Ozick
I think about food all the time. It's my passion; it's my profession. But some people think about food all the time because they're hungry. We can put an end to this if we join forces and lend a hand.
‐‐ Cat Cora
I think about food literally all day every day. It's a thing.
‐‐ Taylor Swift
I think about how best to live my grandmother's twin mantras that 'Life is not a dress rehearsal' and 'Life is not about what happens to you, but what you do with what happens to you.'
‐‐ Chelsea Clinton
I think about how I'm spending my money, and I like to spend on my family.
‐‐ Hilary Swank
I think about it, and I realize there's been some version of a Batman or Spiderman or Superman franchise since I was a boy, since before I was a boy.
‐‐ Clark Gregg
I think about making a comeback every single day. I went running, I went training, did that for a few days. But my body couldn't handle it.
‐‐ Oscar De La Hoya
I think about museums often. There are things that I want museums to do that they often don't. For me, I like it when there's a system within the museum that can continuously change - whether it's a museum that is nomadic or one that's designed so the building can shape-shift. I like restless spaces, and I want to be engaged.
‐‐ Doug Aitken
I think about my dwindling anonymity, and that's really scary because a very large part of me would be perfectly happy living on a ranch in Colorado and having babies and chickens and horses - which I will do anyway.
‐‐ Dakota Johnson
I think about my editor when I write. She's a good friend, too.
‐‐ Jostein Gaarder
I think about my father and how sad it was that he never had grandchildren.
‐‐ Cate Blanchett
I think about my films for a long time, maybe years, but I write them in days.
‐‐ Anurag Kashyap
I think about my goals. There were a lot of times in gymnastics when I really didn't want to go in and train, but you can't make it to the Olympics if you don't train!
‐‐ Shawn Johnson
I think about my grandfather who's 89 years old, and the last thing he needs is more money out of his pocket.
‐‐ Tim Scott
I think about my mom every day.
‐‐ Freddie Freeman
I think about my mother every day. But usually the thoughts are fleeting - she crosses my mind like a spring cardinal that flies past the edge of your eye: startling, luminous, lovely... gone.
‐‐ Meghan O'Rourke
I think about my own sons and my own daughters, and I'm sure that many parents are concerned about what their children are exposed to.
‐‐ Billy Graham
I think about my parents all the time, especially on Sunday when I'm at Mass. My mother always said, 'We do not pray to win elections. We pray for people's health, we pray that God's will be done, we pray that we do our best. But we do not pray to win elections.'
‐‐ Nancy Pelosi
I think about my work every minute of the day.
‐‐ Jeff Koons
I think about myself as like an ocean liner that's been going full speed for a long distance, and the captain pulls the throttle back all the way to 'stop,' but the ship doesn't stop immediately, does it? It has its own momentum and it keeps on going, and I'm very flattered that people are still finding me useful.
‐‐ Leonard Nimoy
I think about never losing my voice, never giving in, never selling out, always keeping black, always sticking to the street. Staying neighborhood and not Hollywood.
‐‐ Paul Mooney
I think about nothing but business the whole time. Even when I go out to my after-parties, people are like, 'You're drinking water?' I'm like, 'Yeah I am.'
‐‐ Pusha T
I think about Rio every day. Every day in training, it's something that drives me forward. I want to be Olympic champion.
‐‐ Lizzie Armitstead
I think about sustainability all the time, whether it's with fish or farmers in Eastern Oregon.
‐‐ Tom Douglas
I think about terrorism in terms of popcorn. You can't tell which kernels are popcorn and which are not, but you assume you'll always have some kernels that are going to pop.
‐‐ Ian Lustick
I think about that all of the time and I have this fantasy that I am going to work at a museum someday! I would love to do something like that!
‐‐ Anna Sui
I think about that 'empty' space a lot. That emptiness is what allows for something to actually evolve in a natural way. I've had to learn that over the years - because one of the traps of being an artist is to always want to be creating, always wanting to produce.
‐‐ Meredith Monk
I think about the audience in the sense that I serve as my own audience. I have to please myself the way, if I saw the movie in a theater, I would be pleased. Do I think about catering to an audience? No.
‐‐ Shane Black
I think about the automobile, I think about like, when I was a kid, you know, the invention of the answering machine, which I was like, 'Wow.' Or call waiting, which was, like, very big. It was a very big thing. Call waiting was a very big thing. And these incremental innovations happen constantly.
‐‐ Ashton Kutcher
I think about the characters I've created and then I sit down and start typing and see what they will do. There's a lot of subconscious thought that goes on. It amazes me to find out, a few chapters later, why I put someone in a certain place when I did. It's spooky.
‐‐ Tom Clancy
I think about the cosmic snowball theory. A few million years from now the sun will burn out and lose its gravitational pull. The earth will turn into a giant snowball and be hurled through space. When that happens it won't matter if I get this guy out.
‐‐ Bill Lee
I think about 'The Hurt Locker,' and we made a film about three guys, three different looking guys with three very different energies.
‐‐ Brian Geraghty
I think about the Internet and cell phones and jets and spaceships, and I wonder, 'What's going to make that look ancient?'
‐‐ Peter Diamandis
I think about the meaning of pain. Pain is personal. It really belongs to the one feeling it. Probably the only thing that is your own. I like mine.
‐‐ Henry Rollins
I think about the milestones from my childhood and what it will be like to watch our kids go through them. Taking Riley to her first day of school was a whirlwind. I can't imagine what middle school is going to be like, and high school, and graduation.
‐‐ Stephen Curry
I think about the movie 'Jaws.' They had this state-of-the-art animatronic shark, but it kept breaking down, which kept delaying the filming. So, they had to use it very sparingly, but it became why the film was so good because you never saw the shark. You only heard about it, and it was suggested.
‐‐ Tom Ellis
I think about the next season right away.
‐‐ George Steinbrenner
I think about the question of perspective in reporting all the time, and since I spent 20 years of my career in Washington as both a reporter and an editor I'm keenly aware that a newspaper should not be dominated by stories in which the only voices and perspective come from those in power.
‐‐ Jill Abramson
I think about the sentence a long time, and then I write it. I don't revise it once it's set down.
‐‐ Jim Harrison
I think about 'The Simpsons,' which has been going on for 25 years. Homer is still in his late 30's. Lisa is 8, Bart is 10. Their stories are told. Yet the series keeps going on and on like a zombie that won't lie down and die. That feels forced and unnatural. The characters never change, grow, age.
‐‐ Ted Naifeh
I think about the structure, sure. I think about what's going to happen, and how it's going to happen, and the pace. But I think if I stop to think about it in an abstract sense, I feel very daunted. I just try to enter into the story and feel my way through it. It's a very murky, intuitive way of going about it.
‐‐ Jhumpa Lahiri
I think about the work I've landed, and I think to myself, 'If I never land a job again, I could still die happy.'
‐‐ Grey Damon
I think about things like, 'Will my kids need a college account? Will they even go to college?' I don't know if that will be the case.
‐‐ Peter Diamandis
I think about what 10-year-old Tony would want that 40-year-old Tony can make.
‐‐ Tony DiTerlizzi
I think about what I'm eating every day. I still have burgers and stuff that's not good for me sometimes, but I'm always trying to be careful. I don't just eat whatever I want.
‐‐ Camilla Luddington
I think about what I say. I don't give stock answers. I'm not trying to cultivate an image with the public, like several of the top players do.
‐‐ David Duval
I think about what I've accomplished and my career. I care about how many wins I have and whether I'm accomplishing my goals.
‐‐ Paula Creamer
I think about what's going down my sink. So I won't pour oil down my sink. I won't - if I'm cleaning a pan, I'll wipe it and bin because I've seen - I've been down sewers.
‐‐ Rose George
I think about work 24 hours a day. But when you fly a helicopter, for that hour or two you can't think about anything else.
‐‐ Ryan Kavanaugh
