I am an artist who works very well under pressure, in fact. I like to have deadlines.
All writers are forced to live within deadlines, and deadlines determine how good they can be.
Meeting the deadlines is not good enough, beating the deadlines is my expectation.
Publishing is, by its nature, about deadlines, and deadlines are toxic.
Deadlines concentrate the mind. But deadlines should not be dogmas.
Working with Moschino, a real high fashion Italian brand, maybe I'm under tighter deadlines, but sometimes under tight deadlines you do your best work.
TV works at such amazing deadlines and the audiences you're catering to is a very different audience than the one that watches films as the attention span is less.
GOALS are dreams with deadlines, and without those deadlines, our dreams are dead in the water.
We like to bully deadlines. Pick on them; make fun of them; even spit on them sometimes. But what a terrible thing to do. Deadlines are actually our best friends.
Basically, the system works to my disadvantage for no other reason than that I am a person of color, and I am telling stories about people of color.
Meeting external deadlines is much harder than meeting internal ones. On the other hand, internal deadlines sometimes don't feel real, and are therefore easy to evade.
There are always deadlines I have to meet. I don't let myself get too close to the deadlines, so it's not like I'm just sweating bullets or anything if the clock is ticking. I never let myself get in that situation.
Classic authors should be older than I am, and wiser, and on-top of all their deadlines.
Also, I need deadlines, just like everybody else, especially coming from magazines, newspapers, and stuff like that. I need daily or weekly deadlines to get stuff done, or I continue to do things and not go off on a year of unproductivity.
I am one of those people who thrive on deadlines, nothing brings on inspiration more readily than desperation.
