Movie directors, or should I say people who create things, are very greedy and they can never be satisfied… That’s why they can keep on working. I’ve been able to work for so long because I think next time, I’ll make something good.
When a thing’s done, it’s done, and if it’s not done right, do it differently next time.
Every time I pull somebody out of the bullpen, I believe he can do the job. I have to believe it. If he doesn’t, hopefully he will do it the next time.
Bring your kids along next time you go to the grocery store and ask them to help find the price per unit for the general grocery items. By comparing brands and looking for the best prices, kids will get in the habit of looking for deals and understand the value of the dollar.
You take every opportunity you have to win a trophy. That is always the goal, and winning makes it a little bit easier the next time.
The reason it takes me so long to make a film, the reason it gets so difficult, is that I’m trying to think of every film as the last one I will ever make so it can be the best it can possibly be. I don’t want to have regrets or excuses or think, ‘I can do better next time.’
The next time a former child star is in the news, look at the age at which he or she started performing. Then imagine making a life-changing decision at that age. Chances are good he or she wasn’t the one who made it.
You’re so emotionally connected to the game that it’s hard to switch off afterwards. It’s a good time to have open and honest conversations about your performance and what you can improve on next time.
The next time you need to win someone over to your way of thinking, try nodding your head as you speak. People unconsciously mirror the body language of those around them in order to better understand what other people are feeling.
But I think it’s important admitting to my teammates, Hey, I’m really struggling right now, and can you help me out?’ Or, This serve is really killing me in the seam, can you take a step and take it for me so I can go and hit and have a better shot next time?’
Every time you learn you can do something, you can go a little bit faster next time.
When I drop the football, it does hurt me… The hardest thing for me to do is relax, because when I drop one, I really want to go out there the next time and make a play.
In order to succeed you must fail, so that you know what not to do the next time.
To keep your character intact you cannot stoop to filthy acts. It makes it easier to stoop the next time.
Next time you meet a kid on street, give him or her a piece of advice that you wish, you had received at their age.
The next time you check your moves in the mirror and reflect on how special you are, consider that somewhere in this universe or in another parallel universe, your double might be doing the same. This would be the ultimate Copernican Revolution. Not only are we not special, we could be infinitely ordinary.
And I came close to losing a part of my foot on two occasions. I hope I’m consistently lucky and that the next time I develop a blister or step on something sharp, that I don’t go as far as I did on those two times.
You take a crash, you get back up and next time you succeed and that’s a great feeling.
I’m really proud of ‘Bright Lights’ because I was still in the mind frame of my first album when I was putting it together, but next time I want to display something different. I don’t want to be as young, immature and all about boys!
The next time you have a thought… let it go.
The next time you experience a blackout, take some solace by looking at the sky. You will not recognize it.
There’s always reasons to make mistakes. Because then you do new mistakes next time. So they’re beautiful mistakes.
The next time you’re tempted to groan, you might try to laugh instead.
I like giving people something they don’t want to miss the next time. It’s a show with little twists and turns and curves. It has me being silly and stupid and compassionate and completely deep.
Next time we need to be on drugs and have lots of suffering and alcohol abuse going on while recording, I’m kinda picturing a Jerry Lee Lewis session from the mid Seventies.
In Korea, if a player makes a mistake, the other players don’t like to point it out. Rather, they try to embrace it; they take the attitude, ‘Let’s do better next time.’ But in the West, if you do something wrong, another player will make a point of saying something, and you will have to fix it immediately.
I do believe that when you know better, you do better. You know what was wrong about the last relationship, and hopefully you will do better the next time.
You could look at something a hundred times from space, but the next time you come around the world, suddenly it’s very different and gorgeous-looking, just because of the change of weather or the angle of the sun.
Even after I got my divorce, the ink wasn’t even dry on the paper, and I said, ‘Ooh, the next time I become a wife, I got this thing down pat!’ I always believed that there was someone built for me.
I ran for the presidency, despite hopeless odds, to demonstrate the sheer will and refusal to accept the status quo. The next time a woman runs, or a black, a Jew, or anyone from a group that the country is ‘not ready’ to elect to its highest office, I believe that he or she will be taken seriously from the start.
Next time I tell you someone from Texas should not be president of the United States, please pay attention.
Every time is a learning experience, and you pick up a little bit, and you learn things and try not to repeat them the next time.
Justice is expensive in America. There are no Free Passes… You might want to remember this, the next time you get careless and blow off a few Parking Tickets. They will come back to haunt you the next time you see a Cop car in your rear-view mirror.
‘Clown’ was written when I couldn’t find anyone who believed in me as an artist. Maybe those labels will think twice next time a young songwriter comes along.
I left Mainz after 18 years and thought, ‘Next time, I will work with a little less of my heart.’ I said that because we all cried for a week. The city gave us a goodbye party, and it lasted a week.
When my first play was produced, I had this sudden feeling that I feel powerful. Like, the next time I go into an audition room, and it’s me and the same eight girls as always, I will have this thing that no one can take away from me. They can see us all as interchangeable. But I am not interchangeable.
It can be heart-breaking when you don’t get something you really want, but there’s always the next time.
It’s good for the soul to hear yourself as others hear you, and next time maybe, just maybe, you will not talk so much, so loudly, so brilliantly, so charmingly, so utterly shamelessly foolishly.
I see groups that are hot one minute, and next time you see them, they’re asking if you want a soda with that Happy Meal.
The next time you’re driving from New York to Boston on I-95, you should make a little detour in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, to visit the Old Slater Mill national historic landmark. It’s the site of what is considered to be the first successful water-powered textile spinning mill in America.
The thing that’s really kept me on my toes is how my mom would always tell me – it’s not the best thing for a mother to tell you – but she’d never tell me after I’d lose a soccer game, ‘You’ll do better next time.’ She’d always say, ‘There’s always somebody better.’
Humans are creatures of habit. If you quit when things get tough, it gets that much easier to quit the next time. On the other hand, if you force yourself to push through it, the grit begins to grow in you.
Anytime I fall in love, I feel it’s a first time. I have had no successful love story yet. I hope I will succeed next time when I fall in love.
The odds against there being a bomb on a plane are a million to one, and against two bombs a million times a million to one. Next time you fly, cut the odds and take a bomb.
Nature surrounds us, from parks and backyards to streets and alleyways. Next time you go out for a walk, tread gently and remember that we are both inhabitants and stewards of nature in our neighbourhoods.
I see groups that are hot one minute, and next time you see them, they’re asking if you want a soda with that Happy Meal.
When I’m up there, I’m just thinking that I’ve got to make them laugh or they won’t show up next time.
If you were laid off, fired or rejected, ask yourself: what did I do to contribute to this situation? What can I do better next time?
I believe in reincarnation. In my last life I was a peasant. Next time around, I’d like to be an eagle. Who hasn’t dreamed they could fly? They’re a protected species, too.
My losses and my victories are in the past. I think of the future. After a fight is over, it’s in the past. I always have to go back to the gym and train to improve in all areas, winning or losing. I think I can always do better next time.
I’m a big guy: I look like a linebacker, you know? But no one cares, really, that I’m educated. I have a copy of ‘Fire Next Time’ by James Baldwin in my bag. I have an Ibsen play in there, too. I have to walk through this world with that duality all the time, that I live in two different worlds.
