Anything is better than sitting around waiting for the right movie to come along. I lose my edge when I'm sitting around the pool not working.

Tim Matheson

Why I'm so stimulated by [producing] is it becomes more proactive. Instead of waiting around for a script to come in, or some movie trying to go. You're waiting around always for that opportunity, which is great, but I like to be a little bit more proactive. I'm a very action-oriented guy - I'm a doer. The company really became this spearhead for that sort of attitude, and so that, to me, was the most exciting part of it.

Jeremy Renner

Nothing's going to come to you by sitting around and waiting for it.

Zoe Kazan

I have to create opportunities for myself. But the thing I really have learned is that you gain nothing from sitting around waiting for the phone to ring - you have to do it for yourself.

The thing is I'm a great believer in the perfect moment. They don't come around that often.

Sarah Dessen

I think that one of the many advantages of death accruing over a long period of time is that you do have time to meet a lot of other people who are going through similar situations and one of the great delights of our life actually was sitting around in labs waiting for the results of tests and talking to other people who were waiting to find out whether their cancer numbers were going in the right direction or not.

Kay Redfield Jamison

I'm not sitting around, waiting for something to run across the Internet so I can go, 'Oh, that's what I'mma write about.' I just go around, live life, make music, and it's epic.

Russ

It's hard to find a play that's right for me to do. Rather than waiting around for the right script to come along, I decided to write one myself.

Dan Castellaneta

We used to say, 'I don't wanna be jumping around and going crazy when I'm thirty,' you know? Even Mick Jagger said, 'Well, I can't see myself at forty jumping around.' Well, here we are, you know?

Roy Orbison

I'm a big believer you should design work around a vast majority of people who want to do the right thing rather than around the tiny minority who might take advantage.

Gail Kelly

Sitting around and waiting for your muse is not the best choice.

Kristin Hannah

If you hang around waiting for the right answer, you're going to be waiting all your life.

Tanya Plibersek

We need to stop building our churches around categories and start building them around people.

Rachel Held Evans

World-building numbs the reader's ability to fulfill their part of the bargain because it believes that it has to do everything around here if anything is going to get done. Above all, world-building is not technically necessary. It is the great clomping foot of nerdism. It is the attempt to exhaustively survey a place that isn't there.

M. John Harrison

I think part of becoming a wonderful actor and part of defining your craft is defining yourself and being confident in yourself, so when the hard knocks come, and you don't get a job for five years, and your ego is being kicked around, you can pull yourself out of it.

Annaleigh Ashford

This was in '79. I got pretty restless there, sitting around with a lot of people sitting around smoking cigarettes and talking about films, but nobody really doing anything.
