I am not a finisher, I am a starter. And I am always thinking, what is the next project.

Peter Eisenman

I know I'm good enough to be a starter and I'm a much more productive player when I get starter minutes. But I don't have to start. That's not me.

Lorenzen Wright

During Rahul Dravid's captaincy, Dhoni got the role of a finisher. He got out a couple of times playing a bad shot, and he was also reprimanded by Dravid during one instance. But from that instance, he completely changed his approach and became a very good finisher.

Virender Sehwag

Ultimately, the one who scores the winning run is a finisher, irrespective of whether he's an opening batsman or No 11. What matters is how much you are contributing. If you can win matches for your team, you are a finisher.

Gautam Gambhir

The last reason I want to be hired is because of my gender. I want to be hired because you trust me, because of my potential, because you believe that I know basketball, and we go and we build from there.

Becky Hammon

When you're a great finisher, you'll become popular. Joe Louis was a great finisher.

Mike Tyson

The more shows that are produced, the more writers are hired, producers are hired, actors are hired, directors are hired, it means the more people will get employed. It's better for the economy. It's a fantastic thing.

Kevin Spacey

The language we're exchanging, the fillings in our teeth, the pavement on the road outside, everywhere you look, for better or for worse, you're going to see evidence that accepting reality is not a human's tendency, and not what we're good at, and not, in my speculation, what God or Natural Selection hired us to do. We've been hired, by this universe, to dream, to aspire, to make things that weren't real real - and because that involves a lot of failure, we're damn good at doing that, too.

Dan Harmon

Everybody wants to be a starter, and I feel like I'm a starter in this league, but I can't necessarily control that.

Kyle Kuzma

You do not have to be The fastest starter. Just be a starter! You will, without fail, Reach your destination-sun.

Sri Chinmoy

I don't believe you name a starter until the starter wins the team.

Nick Saban

It's kind of a crazy thing with kid actors because a lot of them get hired without people really knowing if they're good or not. They get hired for the way they look at a really young age. You also have your fingers crossed around kid actors... because the lessons they learn on set aren't always the best. You can really get whatever you want.

Ty Burrell

I wasn't hired to be a moral judge. I wasn't hired to be a preacher or an evangelist. I'm hired to apply the law.

Frank Minis Johnson

We hired a CSR person at Twitter, years before we hired our first sales person, to make sure we had a culture and impact of doing good.

Biz Stone

How you start is important, very important, but in the end it is how you finish that counts. It is easier to be a self-starter than a self-finisher. The victor in the race is not the one who dashes off swiftest but the one who leads at the finish. In the race for success, speed is less important than stamina. The sticker outlasts the sprinter in life's race. In America we breed many hares but not so many tortoises.
