Ah, the creative life! What would it be without deadlines, a little fear and some panic? Here are some quotes:
My normal routine is pretty much putting out fires all day.
–Vera Wang
Really, most of us just focus on what’s in front of us. We’re too busy putting out the fires of everyday life.
–Aidan Quinn
Thinking will not overcome fear but action will.
–W. Clement Stone
Fear is stupid. So are regrets.
–Marilyn Monroe
I work best after the deadline has passed, when I’m in a panic.
–Tony Kushner
I don’t like to get too complacent. I like to give myself five panic attacks per project.
–Jessie Buckley
I almost always meet project deadlines. Sometimes the client throws in last minute changes, but that isn’t my fault. I usually ask for more time when that happens so I can do it right and not get sloppy just to meet a deadline. I have panicked on a few jobs through the years but I lived to tell about it. Now I have Mister Fire Mouse to do it for me.
And finally:
There cannot be a crisis next week. My schedule is already full.
–Henry Kissinger
