I think it’s quite unlikely that I’ll be the leader of the Green party going into a future election if it’s on anything like a four-year timing.
I did improv in junior high school. Figuring out my comedic timing helped my confidence in talking to the bullies and talking to people in class. If I could make them laugh, then I was in; I was OK.
It’s all about timing and I felt the time was right for both Neha and me to start a family… whenever I used to think of settling down, I couldn’t think of anyone else but Neha.
The biggest challenge of my career has always been to improve my timing, and it will always be so.
I’m such a profound believer that timing is everything; I would tattoo that on my arm.
At my shows, I want to be totally sharp and focused on every single song, on every single thing that I do, and plus, I have to because I’m, like, caking someone and have to run back and mix the next song… and I have so much fast, quick reflex timing.
I think timing is everything.
I’ve always felt that there’s a lot of similarity between doing a comedy and doing a scary movie because jokes and scares are all about timing. If you give the punch line too early or too late, the joke falls flat. And it’s the same with a scare.
I mean, comedy’s hard. If you go back and look at the first season of ‘Seinfeld,’ it’s a work in progress and that’s what happens. It just takes time for people to figure each other out, and figure out timing, and to develop creatively with the writers.
Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it’s all over.
The thing with TV and filming is the timing is all faked anyway. You do it so many times, from so many different angles. You never really do it all in one go anyway, so they just fix it all in the edit.
I know when I’ve been playing a lot of golf it takes me a while to get back into cricket again. It’s not so much the different shape of the swings, more the fact that you are stationary when you hit a golf ball. In cricket you have to move forward or back, which is an instinctive timing thing.
T20 cricket is all about using variations, and timing has to be perfect.

Fight choreography has far more in common with dance choreography than it does with actual martial arts. You learn martial arts techniques, but those are just the movements for the choreography. You’re working with a partner in choreography. You’re working on timing.
Michael Bates was a very funny actor; he’d served in India, could speak Urdu, and had great comic timing.
As much effort it takes in nailing great comic timing, it takes the same effort to ace any dance step or a romantic dialogue. All of them have their different space.
Comic timing… is how to have a relationship with the camera and deal with the camera without looking like you are.
You cannot afford to wait for perfect conditions. Goal setting is often a matter of balancing timing against available resources. Opportunities are easily lost while waiting for perfect conditions.

With comedy it’s all about timing and presence on screen, as the words are there but you have to say them right and the right timing.
MIDI made a natural transition to the PC. The MIDI messages that make up a musical composition can be saved as MIDI files, which are collections of MIDI messages with timing information.
I learned that we can do anything, but we can’t do everything… at least not at the same time. So think of your priorities not in terms of what activities you do, but when you do them. Timing is everything.
On the ‘Tom and Jerry’s,’ Joe and I would sit across a desk from each other and develop the story. Joe would do the storyboard and I’d do the timing and the direction of the animation.
I think timing is everything. I have no regrets in my career. I’ve been able to make a name for myself and build my own brand.
The timing was terrible, and having one disaster after another didn’t help. I think the pictures on television of the way in which the disaster was handled also helped to turn off the public and Congress.
I consider myself to be very fortunate in my career, my timing has worked out.
I can cry at the drop of the pin. But comedy is hard for me; it’s the timing.
My first YA novel, not many people have read. It’s a fickle business. There’s a degree of timing and luck involved.
I didn’t take the fight with Michael Grant because the timing wasn’t right. They offered me a lot of money, but it wasn’t in my best interest to take that fight. They were trying to use me to build up Michael Grant.
It’s all about timing and taking out big shots at the right time.
I’ve always believed that pastry chefs are born, not made. They’re patient, methodical, tidy, and organized. It’s why I stick to the savory side of the kitchen – I’m far too messy and impulsive to do all the measuring, timing, and rule-following that pastry demands.
If you’re a content creator looking to elicit a certain emotion, we can validate that. In cases where an ad is trying to elicit humor, we can tell you if people get the jokes or not by the number of people who smile, the intensity of the smile, and the timing of the smile.
I was attracted to Joe right away. He was and is one of the greatest cartoon artists I’ve ever met. I was able to do the timing, and Joe with his draftsmanship could make the storyboards. There were things I could do that he couldn’t and vice versa.
In our business, everything is timing.
To do a film with Govinda, who is a legend in that genre, whose timing is impeccable was challenging.
My idol was Jack Benny and he was the master of subtlety and timing.
Everything is complicated about using concrete – the discipline and dedication necessary to make consistent batches, understanding exactly how the formwork will be laid, what the timing is for the pours, how you keep it clean and neat to achieve a fine quality.
I started ‘Will & Grace’ when I was 39, and Nick started ‘Parks and Rec’ when he was 39. And he’s really on the same trajectory; it’s all happening with the same timing. It’s so funny to see it all happening again.
Timing is everything.
Success is always a matter of some luck and timing.
I think we judge talent wrong. What do we see as talent? I think I have made the same mistake myself. We judge talent by people’s ability to strike a cricket ball. The sweetness, the timing. That’s the only thing we see as talent. Things like determination, courage, discipline, temperament, these are also talent.
Market timing doesn’t work. If all the bubbles and all this mispricing really exist, how come so few people see it before it turns out that way?
Timing and accuracy is really what matters at the end of the day.
Timing in my life has been fortuitous.
For as long as I could remember, the person in E23 pasted the same Halloween decoration, a witch with a giant wart on her crone’s nose, but whenever kids rang, the tenant wouldn’t answer. At first, kids figured they’d just missed the guy: bad timing. But it seemed impossible that all of us missed him every year.
It’s not enough to have a value-adding product in a big market. You also need the right conditions. Will you be able to scale revenues within a 5-10 year time frame? Is the timing right? YouTube wouldn’t have worked pre-broadband.
When I started women’s college basketball coverage, it was exploding. I happened into a men’s college basketball game because of a mistake, someone not showing up. So I’ve sort of been the beneficiary of good timing.
Honestly, I’m sure the WWE’s not looking for 47-year old rookies and that’s fine with me. The timing of my career worked out where when I might have been interesting to them, were times that I was under contract with TNA or Ring of Honor and that’s fine with me.
I met Donald Trump in ’85. I ran into him several times throughout the years. We knew we had this connection, but it wasn’t appropriate timing. So we’d spend a lot of time on the telephone. By ’88, I knew I truly loved this guy.
Every reading is different as far as timing, so some will last a half hour and others will last three hours.
Market timing doesn’t work. If all the bubbles and all this mispricing really exist, how come so few people see it before it turns out that way?
Comedy can be more difficult than drama. It requires more attention to timing. In the theater, you’re always dependent on the audience for the energy, but in comedy the feedback you get is more important. You can judge by the quickness and the length of the laugh just where you stand with the audience.
The best way ideally to stop a wide receiver in the driver’s seat is to get a jam on him and slow up their timing. But it just so happens that’s literally my strongest tool in my bag. I just bank on me being faster and a little bit more technical than whoever it is that I’m playing.
