A Quote by Jason Bateman

It's not a sprinter's approach. It's more like a long-distance thing. You can stick around a lot longer if you kind of slow-play it.

My goal is to get another 30 years out of this business. So I need to figure out the fuel to do that. And so far, I think it's respect and quality and company, not celebrity or box office or stardom. It's not a sprinter's approach. It's more like a long-distance thing. You can stick around a lot longer if you kind of slow-play it.

For theater I am like a long-distance runner. For movies I am a sprinter! Same playing field, different approach.

Ann Reinking

I think animation is like running a marathon, and making a movie is like a 100 meter sprint. The question is: are you a marathon man or are you a sprinter? I realized that I was more of a sprinter than a marathon man. With a long, long project, I get bored easily.

Marjane Satrapi

As a sprinter, body weight was never an issue for me, not like the long distance riders who have to be so careful.

Chris Hoy

People don't last long in this game. I feel blessed that I've been able to stick around and play at a high level for my entire career, which is another hard thing to do. That's the only way you stick around - if you're out there and you're able to produce and make plays.

Charles Woodson

When I was young, I was too slow. I thought I must learn to run fast by practicing to run fast, so I ran 100 meters fast 20 times. Then I came back, slow,slow,slow. People said, 'Emil, you are crazy. You are training like a sprinter.'

Emil Zatopek

A lot of gaming and a lot of interaction is no longer physical; it's all digital and at a distance. There's this innate, tribal need of the people to have face time with other people and play together in person. I think there's been this rediscovery of the joy of playing with people around the table.

Matthew Mercer

The second guy I met on the Internet was Tom, who I dated for around 6 months, which is by far the longest relationship I've ever had as an adult. We long distance dated mostly, chatting everyday for a long time on FB chat and Skype. It's hard to imagine a more genuinely caring and kind individual. I owe a lot to him.

Marie Calloway

I've always felt that long, slow distance produces long, slow runners.

Sebastian Coe

I've always been a sprinter, I'm muscular. If you put me next to the average sprinter, I would fit in a lot more. But against the Paralympic side, I always feel really big.

Kadeena Cox

You learn to run like a sprinter, you'll be a great distance runner

Alberto Salazar

Long slow distance makes long slow runners.

Jim Bush

You need to become more than one type of athlete. You have to be a sprinter, a weight man and a distance guy all in one.

Dan O'Brien

There was no time when I lived anywhere longer than two years. I was always a social outcast. Maybe I didn't care what people thought because I was like, 'Well, I probably won't stick around here for too long.'

Haley Bennett

I think the great sketch shows, like 'Python' and 'Mr. Show,' they didn't stick around for very long. There's something kind of cool about that.

Tim Heidecker

My first contract with WCW was, like, $70,000 a year. I didn't know you could make that kind of money doing this. I was like, 'Wow. I think I'm going to stick around for a long time.'
