A Quote by Lena Waithe

It's always been my intention to never be boxed in. I never like to do something that it feels like I've done before.

Always Been Before Boxed Done Feels Intention Like Never Something

Lena Waithe
American - Actress
Born: May 17, 1984

I'm always intrigued by new challenges and things that I've never done before and new experiences. It sounds so simple, but the primary interest is just something that's good and instills within me some kind of gut feeling that feels like something that I'm passionate and excited about, and there can be multiple variables that can instill that. It can be simply a filmmaker, it can just be a character, it can just be the script, or a combination of all those things. But, I'm always just looking to do things that I've never done before, primarily.

Elijah Wood

I never like to do something that it feels like I've done before.

Lena Waithe

I never look backwards. I have always been an athlete. I boxed before I acted.

Mickey Rourke

I always want to approach records from where it feels very graspable. You know what the song's about, but it's presented to you in a way that's like, 'I never heard something like this before,' but it doesn't push you away.

Jon Bellion

I like to take on the thing I don't like at the moment. I like to find something that looks wrong or feels off, something that I would never have done in the past, like brocade. And then all of a sudden, if we can make brocade work, then we've really done something, because I hate it. And that's just a reference. I don't actually hate brocade.

Marc Jacobs

You’ve been here before. It won’t kill you. It feels like you can’t breathe, but you actually are breathing. It feels like you’ll never stop crying, but you actually will.

Liane Moriarty

I hate to be the person that's like, "We're doing something that's never been done before."

Lena Dunham

I've never been impressed with bureaucratic tradition. I don't like it when the parties come to me and say, 'This is the way that it's always done, judge.' I never found anything in the oath I took or the statutes I was asked to look at that said, 'Judge, stop thinking, because this is the way it was done before.'

Jed S. Rakoff

I love doing a television show. It just always feels like it's a little while before you find something that feels unique and that feels like a character that you really want to play for awhile.

Shiri Appleby

It's so important to me that I feel like I'm doing something that's never been done before, whether that's in the show, or I'm writing a song. I can exist in this little box here, but I have to do something new with it.

Rivers Cuomo

Everything I've done I've always kind of jumped in headfirst, and it's been a learning curve. Even MuchMusic, I had never done live television before, and all of a sudden you show up, and they're like, 'You ready kid? Let's go.'

Hannah Simone

I'm a curious person. I like to ask questions. Well, why? People would say, it's never been done. It's never been done does not mean that it can't be done.

Kathy Ireland

With something like 'Second Sun' it was something I'd never really done before. It has no drums and I think that was the first time I'd done this sort of instrumental, bass-less kind of piece.

Bonobo

I've done loads of collaborations and I'm never totally happy with the outcome because it feels like you're compromising something of yourself in it.

Hudson Mohawke

I just don't like boring myself. That's one of the main reasons I did 'Ice Age' - because I'd never done something like this before.

Peter Dinklage

If it feels like you're aiming for something too familiar, and you're not having a primary new experience, then what's the point of making that movie? It's been done before, so try to find something new out of it.
