Lazy people are always anxious to be doing something.

Luc de Clapiers

A lazy person will try to always find some way to do something; they'll always be looking for ways of doing something faster, more efficiently, and if you really want to control the world, that's a really sort of hubristic notion - excessive pride, the thing that Zeus zaps you for having.

Larry Wall

Instead of trying to group people into something and have this one assumption, get to know someone for who they are. I guess a lot of people are really lazy to start getting to know people or make that effort.

Amber Liu

As is my way, when I start something that I've put off doing, I always start with the hardest form. So I started with Ashtanga.

Jane Fonda

I didn't intend. The word "intend" is the wrong word for what I do. It's just that it's something you do, and you can't not do. If you want to do it, and you don't intend to, you do it anyway. The word "intend" is wrong. The word "pressure" is right. It's like any art form.

Grace Paley

Rather than wait to be discovered, discover yourself. Whatever it is that you intend to do later, start doing it now, get good at it, and show people what you've done. Actions speak louder than words.

Steve-O

I was elected by the people of Australia as Prime Minister of Australia. I was elected to do a job, I intend to continue doing that job. I intend to continue doing it to the absolute best of my ability. Part of that job has been to steer this country through the worst economic crisis the world has seen in 75 years.

Kevin Rudd

I was in school - I was a good learner; if I wanted to get something done, I could get it done. I was lazy, though. I was always, like, sort of an outcast. And when I got home, I was always doing music, but when I was doing music, no one was there to judge it, you know? It was just me in my bedroom. It gave me freedom and made me happy.

Afrojack

I think as soon as you start believing you're doing something superior to other people, then you start losing the plot.

Ben Howard

I always worry that me by myself, I'm doing the same thing I'm always doing and become too lazy and conservative in what I do, or too incestuous in my own thoughts.

Saschka Unseld

It really is appallingly difficult to do something which is complete in every respect, and I think most people are content with mere approximations. Well, my dear friend, I intend to battle on, scrape off and start again.

Claude Monet

I'm always amused by the way questions are asked. "What did you intend?" That's not even a recognizable verb. You don't intend when you write. You sit down and you're thinking things and dreaming things and someone says something and you think "Ah!" That's how it happens. Intention is not part of the game.

Lore Segal

Genre hopping is something I intend to do, and I intend to do it forever and ever because I think genres are boring.

Jack Garratt

Like I said, I've always been a lazy drag queen. I'm actually a boy and I hate dressing up. I don't hate it. It's fun, but it's not something that I like doing all the time.

Chi Chi DeVayne

I hate to say Americans are ignorant and lazy, but a lot of them are ignorant and lazy. It's just like what I was talking about with Rebel Music and art. When you live in a place that has a lot of good things that make life easier, it's easier to take them for granted. But what frustrates me to no end are people who want to blame Obama or blame anything that is something that if they were actually doing anything as simple as voting, it might not be as bad as it is.

Shepard Fairey

The best way to start doing something is to start doing something.

Vernon Howard
