I’ve always moved by my heart. I’ve moved by the spirit of what I feel was right for me next. I always pray and ask God: ‘What’s the next thing? What am I supposed to do next?’
I don’t have a favorite part. My current part is my favorite part. And when I do the next thing, that will be my favorite part.
In a few years, we might not still be into Instagram, but hopefully I’ll be into the next thing and have fun do it.
The Germany I was enthused with was more old fashioned and kind of romantic. I just got there, and the next thing you know, I had this huge gilded album. It was kind of an amazing experience because I didn’t intend it to be that way.
Once you achieve one goal, you should be looking forward to trying to build onto the next thing, and not just getting comfortable with what you’re doing.
This is probably an asset that my wife hates, where you compartmentalize. Most times, I think it’s an asset, where you can just sort of feel like you chop off one part of your brain to do the next thing that you’ve got to do.
The great thing about jamming is that you come in with zero preconceptions. Someone might want to play something that suggests something else to you, and the next thing you know you’re on a 20-minute adventure.
Hey, I’m just looking for an excuse to retire so I can play summer league baseball, go coach my nephews, play pickup basketball. I’ve always had that ability to move on to the next thing.
Limitlessness is important for me; I want to be able to use every opportunity to push me forward onto the next thing.
I’m always looking to move on to the next thing.
Most people who’ve had a big hit movie like ‘Paranormal Activity,’ the next thing they say is, ‘I want to make a $100 million movie.’ I have no interest in making more expensive movies.
You’ll see more and more perfection of that – computer as servant. But the next thing is going to be computer as a guide or agent.
I kept buying bucket hats. Next thing I knew, I felt like I didn’t look right without one.
Before moving onto the next thing, make sure you continue to nurture the first thing. Get a good team around you because it’s difficult to do multiple things on your own.
You do a straight play for three months, four months, maybe. It’s so brief. And then you’re on to the next thing. I loved that. I love that rhythm and that pace.
I’ve had a couple tapes out and they weren’t really tapes, it was just some songs that I had made, and then I would throw them together as a compilation and put a name on it. And then when I would release my next thing, I would just delete it.
A lot of times, good improv is when both people, or however many people are in the scene, really have no idea what the next thing you’re going to say is.
A lot of people’s circumstances can change very, very quickly, and people can move jobs, relationships can break down, something else could happen, and the next thing you know, you can’t pay your rent, you can’t get the support you require, and you’re out on the street.
Next thing you know they’ll take your thoughts away.
I’ve been a part of this before, where you think the racing gods are against you, then next thing you know, you can’t do anything wrong.

I’ve figured out what to do so far, but it’s always the next thing you come to where the man with the bucket of ice cold water is waiting – whoosh! in your face. That’s why you work with directors who know what to tell you to do.
I had a trial run with Norman Ross for 21 years, from ’61 to ’82. I didn’t have it in mind to open a chain like Harvey Norman. I opened one shop, but then the next thing you know, I’ve got another shop and then another shop.
Creating a set list is like making a running order for an album. Certain things get pitted against one another that make more sense. One song sets another one off, or it might diminish it. You’re just constantly looking for the next thing that’s gonna make sense in a particular place.

I used to feel unsafe right in the moment of an accomplishment – I felt the ground fall from under my feet because this could be the end. And even now, while everyone is celebrating, I’m on to the next thing. I don’t want to get lost in this big cushion of success.
I get all dressed up with that Marianne Faithfull face, and the next thing I know, I’m blurting out things that I shouldn’t, trying to get attention when, really, I’ve got everybody’s attention already.
On the first day of school, you got to be real careful where you sit. You walk into the classroom and just plunk your stuff down on any old desk, and the next thing you know the teacher is saying, ‘I hope you all like where you’re sitting, because these are your permanent seats.’
As a kid, I hated home, and I just wanted so much to learn or do something that could take me away and keep me away forever. And then I got blessed to get to make music and meet people who wanted to work with me. And then, the next thing I knew, I was on the road, and I was gone.
