I realized that improvisers should probably always have time off. But musicians are always gigging and never have a chance to stop for a minute - unless something drastic occurs.

Keith Jarrett

I always say the minute I stop making mistakes is the minute I stop learning and I've definitely learned a lot.

Miley Cyrus

And I always actually say, 'The Voice' isn't just about trying to find a superstar. We also give a platform to gigging musicians and people who do what they do, and expose them to so many other people to enhance what they do.

Guy Sebastian

Musicians like to converse. There's always interesting conversation with musicians - with classical musicians, with jazz musicians, musicians in general.

Wynton Marsalis

To be fearless is to be reckless. I think you need a certain level of fear because you need to respect the danger and the minute you stop sensing fear, that's the minute you stop respecting the danger, and that's when things can happen. Obviously, you can't panic. It can't be overwhelming. It can't be paralyzing. You always need to have that pit in your stomach. You always need to have that awareness about you.

Arwa Damon

I think every professional player wants to play every game and every minute because you never know when you're going to get a chance to score, in the first minute or the 90th.

Gylfi Sigurdsson

If I could, I would stop the passage of time. But hour follows on hour, minute on minute, each second robbing me of a morsel of myself for the nothing of tomorrow. I shall never experience this moment again.

Guy de Maupassant

Sooner or later, the great men turn out to be all alike. They never stop working. They never lose a minute. It is very depressing.

V. S. Pritchett

The minute you become conscious that you are doing good, that's the minute you have to stop because from then on it's wrong.

Paula Fox

The minute you start caring about what other people think, is the minute you stop being yourself.

Meryl Streep

Never talk for half a minute without pausing and giving others a chance to join in.

Sydney Smith

Above all, it's never blind chance: it's a chance that is always planned, but also always surprising. And I need it in order to carry on, in order to eradicate my mistakes, to destroy what I've worked out wrong, to introduce something different and disruptive. I'm often astonished to find how much better chance is than I am.

Gerhard Richter

Never get satisfied. The minute you stop trying, you go downhill.

Jack LaLanne

You're always frustrated, you don't have the chance to do a song on the album, like the Beatles did with Ringo and George, or like Led Zeppelin, where everybody was given a chance to contribute. There never is a chance with the Stones.
