All writers are forced to live within deadlines, and deadlines determine how good they can be.

Lawrence O'Donnell

Meeting the deadlines is not good enough, beating the deadlines is my expectation.

Dhirubhai Ambani

Deadlines concentrate the mind. But deadlines should not be dogmas.

Ashraf Ghani

Working with Moschino, a real high fashion Italian brand, maybe I'm under tighter deadlines, but sometimes under tight deadlines you do your best work.

Jeremy Scott

GOALS are dreams with deadlines, and without those deadlines, our dreams are dead in the water.

Mark Batterson

We like to bully deadlines. Pick on them; make fun of them; even spit on them sometimes. But what a terrible thing to do. Deadlines are actually our best friends.

Jason Fried

Meeting external deadlines is much harder than meeting internal ones. On the other hand, internal deadlines sometimes don't feel real, and are therefore easy to evade.

James Surowiecki

There are always deadlines I have to meet. I don't let myself get too close to the deadlines, so it's not like I'm just sweating bullets or anything if the clock is ticking. I never let myself get in that situation.

Scott Adams

Also, I need deadlines, just like everybody else, especially coming from magazines, newspapers, and stuff like that. I need daily or weekly deadlines to get stuff done, or I continue to do things and not go off on a year of unproductivity.

Dave Eggers

Having deadlines helps because people are constantly breathing down my neck, and tapping their toes waiting for pages. So I just have to work nine to five. If I didn't have deadlines then I might be more of a golden hour kind of guy, writing from eight to noon and calling it a day, but that's just not the way I work right now.

David Lindsay-Abaire

Singles have goals, responsibilities, deadlines, events, and friends that occupy their time, as well they should. Nonetheless, before any goals are achieved, responsibilities are fulfilled, deadlines are met, events are attended or friends are visited, God's purpose should be accomplished.

Monica Johnson

Television is all about deadlines.

Poonam Dhillon

You put deadlines on people you really don't want, because that's how you feel about them.

Al Leiter

If we didn't have deadlines, we'd stagnate.

Walt Disney

Dreams don't have deadlines.

LL Cool J

I don't keep a diary or a journal. Sometimes I'll send emails to friends and that's a way of recording what I was thinking at any given time. But I've never been a journal keeper. I feel like part of that is because I'm always on deadline. I've been a freelancer my entire career and, at any given time, I have several deadlines for all sorts of things whether it's some magazine piece or ad copywriting or anything. Obviously, people with deadlines keep journals all the time but, for me, the idea of doing more writing is never appealing. It's why I never blog.
