There are people who literally cannot start a project until the deadline is four hours away, even if it's a big one. And those people have a serious problem. My recommendation is set up mini-deadlines. You might say, 'Okay, here's my deadline after three days for this and there's another deadline for that and then a third deadline.'

Robert Pozen

You wonder why your government's completely broken? We lurch from deadline to deadline, and it's on purpose really. We do deadline to deadline because ... 'we've got to go. It's spring break, we're going to be late for spring break, and we've got to go, so we've got to finish this up before we go.'

Rand Paul

Either I need an assignment with a strict deadline - like something for a movie or a TV show or whatever - or else I need to create a made-up deadline for myself for my own records. Otherwise, I don't write anything.

Adam Schlesinger

I never work until I have a deadline. You have to fit so much in a given day that you just don't get serious until you know when the deadline is.

William Monahan

I've never signed a contract, so never have a deadline. A deadline's an unnerving thing. I just finish a book, and if the publisher doesn't like it, that's his privilege.

Marchette Chute

With the movies, people are not going to wait around. The deadline is a deadline. In publishing it's more a polite suggestion.

David Benioff

If you send out one coupon with a deadline of a week and another that must be used within the next month, you end up having more redemptions with the one week deadline. It's really amazing. With the month deadline you have four times as much time, but people tend to say they'll use it in a few weeks' time and then they don't do it.

Sendhil Mullainathan

What this bill says is it reiterates again the deadline, and that the Senate should act before the deadline, and that's what the American people are expecting.

Eric Cantor

I'm a 24-hour tweet machine, I'm a 24-hour blogger. When there's no pressure on me, I can talk and write and lecture with the best of them. But put a deadline on me and I start getting writer's block.

Questlove

I write on weekends, on vacation, and, really - on deadline and on my floor. Both terrible for the back.

Sloane Crosley

During trade deadline, we pretty much tell every player, look, there's lots of names, lots of everything for every player in the league. So it's best to tune it out because every team's job is to explore things and you don't like when things get out, but it's silly to kill or accentuate rumors during deadline week.

Daryl Morey

So on the Tuesday night deadline, while Abu Qatada was appealing to European Court judges, the Home Secretary, who thought the deadline was Monday night, was partying with "X Factor" judges. When the Home Secretary is accused of not knowing what day of the week it is, confusion and chaos have turned into farce.

Yvette Cooper

Two things you need to know about taxes. They've extended the deadline to April 18, and when you write your check, just make it out to China.

David Letterman

The ideal time for writing a [television] script is four days, though sometimes it has to be two or three days depending on the deadline. If it's two days, sometimes there are things I see that don't work as well. If I have two weeks, the scripts get kind of flabby and lack the adrenaline that a sense of deadline fills you with.

David E. Kelley

I work best after the deadline has passed, when I'm in a panic.

Tony Kushner
