We’ve been sitting at the compromise table for a long time. We’re just waiting for that cold chair to be warmed up by the Republican leadership. They still have time to do the right thing and be responsible. They just seem to be moving further and further away from it.
For me, the best places to write are on planes, trains and at airports. Not hotel rooms but hotel lobbies. I’m really happy when I’m waiting for a plane and the message comes that it’s three hours late. Great, I’ll get to write!
When people are self-entitled for no reason, just with anything, that bothers me. It’s like waiting for someone to cross the road, and they walk slower because they know you’re waiting. I like all the credit due in the places that it’s supposed to be due.
When I need to push myself, I think of all those nicely polished trophies waiting to be lifted up by the winner – and how that winner might be me.
Success is a terrible thing and a wonderful thing. If you can enjoy it, it’s wonderful. If it starts eating away at you, and they’re waiting for more from me, or what can I do to top this, then you’re in trouble. Just do what you love. That’s all I want to do.
I find solace in animals. I have got a stray dog at home called Candy. I picked it up while I was waiting at the airport one day. I always wanted to have a ‘macho’ dog but got this sweet little thing instead.
So, the combination of looking at lots of different people and how they react to each other and how they relate to each other and waiting for that inspiration is the thing that allows me to keep writing.

Serendipity is nice, but hoping for luck and the magic of happenstance shouldn’t be an excuse for a lack of proactivity. I had to learn for myself that waiting isn’t a life plan.
When you are a hero you are always running to save someone, sweating, worried and guilty. When you are a villain you are just lurking in the shadows waiting for the hero to pass by. Then you pop them in the head and go home… piece of cake.

I’ve written a very long piece of music recently, the ‘Veil of the Temple,’ which lasts about seven hours. It’s really a kind of vigil. It takes place during the night, waiting for the resurrection of Christ.
The workers of the nation were tired of waiting for corporate industry to right their economic wrongs, to alleviate their social agony and to grant them their political rights. Despairing of fair treatment, they resolved to do something for themselves.
The first thing I do when I come to work, I say hello to my dogs and give them one biscuit each. The butler takes them out to the park and drops them off at the office, so they are there waiting for me. They are very popular in the studio. They play all the time. They run around, up and down, left and right.
Say there are three identical-looking pizza joints on a street. Two of those will always be empty. The third will have a line of people patiently waiting, checking their phones. There’s always one place that’s the place. That’s how it works.
If the salesperson is busy, he or she should nod and say ‘I’ll be with you in a few moments,’ so the customer won’t mind waiting.
God is waiting eagerly to respond with new strength to each little act of self-control, small disciplines of prayer, feeble searching after him. And his children shall be filled if they will only hunger and thirst after what he offers.
The indie world changed when the economy went south. I was frustrated with doing something, then waiting for it to come out, and sometimes it never did, or would just play in New York for 50 people. So I really wanted to try something else.
Now financial liberalization is just a catastrophe waiting to happen, and there are very well understood reasons for that.
As we all know, many people remain buried under tons of rubble and debris, waiting to be rescued. When we think of their suffering, we feel deeply and profoundly that we should be there, in Haiti, with them, trying our best to prevent death.
I’ve heard every pie joke in the book. I’m still waiting for an original one.
I know that you’re better off making your own products, not just waiting for someone to hand you something.
I’m not a huge TV person, but when I do watch, it’s always after the fact because I like to binge watch. It’s more entertaining for me to watch these characters fresh, after one episode, instead of waiting a whole week.
I’m not very charismatic or telegenic. I feel bad for the kids waiting three hours in line for their book to be signed.
Congress should be forward thinking in the policies we set, instead of waiting until catastrophe looms.
Look, you’re here to see me, and I can’t go on until my dealer is here, and he’s waiting to be paid, so give me some money so I can fix up, and then you’ll get your show.

Background checks, waiting periods, reports of transfers, and access to mental health records have not stopped the legal sale of firearms to legitimate buyers.
All the screen cowboys behaved like real gentlemen. They didn’t drink, they didn’t smoke. When they knocked the bad guy down, they always stood with their fists up, waiting for the heavy to get back on his feet. I decided I was going to drag the bad guy to his feet and keep hitting him.
Man, people have been waiting for me to fall off my whole career. From the first time I stepped on the court. It probably made people sick to their stomachs watching my whole career, watching the things that I’ve done in my career.
So, I remember when I was a kid, I was waiting for my mom to come home when she was working late, and, you know, I was like, ‘Oh my God, what happened to her? Is she OK? Did something happen to her getting in the car?’ I was a little kid. But those are actually early onsets of anxiety.
I mean, it’s been quite busy, especially with the rain delay the first few days, and then having to play the late evenings, waiting here every day. It’s been kind of difficult.
Making movies is time-consuming and it’s boring. You spend most of your time waiting between takes. It’s like a big machine that moves slowly.
I’ve been waiting for the right opportunity to have a sitcom because I’ve been on TV like 10 times, but it was all reality shows, semi-acting like that.
The type of mixing that was out then was blending from one record to the next or waiting for the record to go off and wait for the jock to put the needle back on.
In my run-ins with Christians… I find that they really are good moral people. And we overlap on everything, and they don’t seem to be the kind of people that are waiting to hear voices to tell them what to do.
Ask yourself whether the dream of heaven and greatness should be waiting for us in our graves – or whether it should be ours here and now and on this earth.
Sometimes I lose a whole morning waiting on journalists and other people who look for me. But I always find some time for reading, talking to my friends and feeling what is happening in this world.
In filming, you’re waiting – you’re waiting for lights, you’re waiting for people to set things up – and when you’re not waiting, you’re repeating.
You can scream at me, call me for a shoot at midnight, keep me waiting for hours – as long as what ends up on the screen is perfect.
This is how a revolution begins. It begins when someone grows tired of standing idly by, waiting for history’s arc to bend toward justice, and instead decides to give it a swift shove. It begins when a black seamstress named Rosa Parks refuses to give up her seat on a bus to a white man in the segregated South.
I grew up with six brothers. That’s how I learned to dance – waiting for the bathroom.
I think I’ve always been waiting for things to happen.
The Scriptures contain many stories of people who waited years or even decades before the Lord’s promises came to pass. What modern believers can learn from the patience of biblical saints like Abraham, Joseph, David, and Paul is that waiting upon the Lord has eternal rewards.
I thought I was going to be a rapper as a kid and used to hop the train down to Jazzy Jeff’s studio for, like, six months straight waiting outside of the studio for the big break, and one day we got in the studio and played our demo for Will and Jeff and quickly learned that we weren’t that good.
I love TV, don’t get me wrong. But with film, you’re just banging out this one product, and you’re not waiting on another script. You have your script. It’s great in that way. It’s as close to theater as you can get.
Now it’s all about the word of mouth, and watching a series on Netflix. That’s the way people actually consume this stuff now, instead of waiting for a DVD release you’re not really sure you want to buy. And I think it’s fantastic, because then I can watch the shows that I missed, over a weekend. I love doing that.
