A Quote by Don DeLillo

I'd like to lose interest in myself. — © Don DeLillo
I'd like to lose interest in myself.
I never lost my interest in acting but I did lose my interest in the business and what I had to go through to make a film. I felt saturated, you know, like a sponge when it's saturated - it's not good.
I really can't describe what my stand-up is like - people see it and they say it's like that, or it's like this, and that's really up to them, that's fine, but I don't sit around all day analysing it. I just try and enjoy a show and interest myself because if I don't do that then I won't interest anybody else.
When things are too easy I lose interest in them so I find ways to complicate them to get myself interested.
Basically it takes me very little time to write a song. If I find myself taking more than an hour to do it I usually forget it, and try something else. I like to work quickly; I never like to waste any time. I never write half a song and come back to it later at all. It all has to be done at once. I lose interest if it doesn't.
The mindset of a champion is that I put myself in a certain situation to win, I don't play to lose, I dont prepare to lose, I hate second place and I definitely don't like silver.
When you lose interest in anything, you also lose the memory for it.
Over the years I've seen people lose a spouse and then withdraw and lose interest in life, and I believe we need to resist that.
I like gardening - it's a place where I find myself when I need to lose myself.
Marriage is like a bank account. You put it in, you take it out, you lose interest.
As you get older you lose interest in what you hear on the radio. But you can't be like that, you have to enjoy what's going on.
I basically like the unpredictability factor. When I watch a film, if it becomes predictable, I lose interest in it.
But once in a while . . . I don't know. I feel so close, Rose. So close to the edge. Like if I allow myself one small misstep, I'll plunge away and never come back. It's like I'll lose myself.
I don't like being recognised, I have no interest in being famous at all, I just do what I do. If I could be like Captain Kirk and beam myself up and then beam myself down, I would!
If I lost control of the business I'd lose myself - or at least the ability to be myself. Owning myself is a way to be myself.
It is simply this: do not tire, never lose interest, never grow indifferent—lose your invaluable curiosity and you let yourself die. It's as simple as that.
Standup is like shorthand. Every bit must be both brief and profound or the audience will lose interest.
