I’m asked all the time, ‘Doesn’t it feel great to finish the novel?’ And the answer to that is, ‘No.’ It’s sort of a loss to stop a 10-year project, which is an imaginary project in the sense that it’s a work of my imagination.

That’s what being a footballer is, really: you train at this time, you finish at that time, then you do that, then you go home, then you’re not allowed out, then you do this… there comes a point in your career – about thirty, thirty-one – when you get a bit sick of being screamed at.

When I’m writing, I try not to think things like, ‘Gosh, I have to finish writing this book.’ Books are very long and it’s easy to get discouraged. Instead I think to myself, ‘Wow, I have this great story idea, and today I’m going to write two pages of it. That’s all – just two pages.’
The most common way customer financing is done is you sell the customer on the product before you’ve built it or before you’ve finished it.

Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg didn’t finish college. Too much emphasis is placed on formal education – I told my children not to worry about their grades but to enjoy learning.

Yes, it is always good to contribute, but the most important thing is where we finish on the points table. That is more important to me than how many runs I score.

I do think the challenge, in a way for me, is to write a narrative film and when you finish watching it you feel like it’s a collage. You tell the narrative, you tell the story, but you feel like you’ve created this tapestry. But it also has a shape, a story.
In soloing – as in other activities – it is far easier to start something than it is to finish it.

As we make our way toward the finish line that some of us have already crossed, I never thought I’d get a Grammy Award. In fact, I was always touched by the modesty of their interest.

I think everyone who makes movies should be forced to do television. Because you have to finish. You have to get it done, and there are a lot of decisions made just for the sake of making decisions. You do something because it’s efficient and because it gets the story told and it connects to the audience.
When you finish a drama, you go, ‘I can’t wait to do a comedy.’ When you finish a comedy, you go, ‘I want to do a dramedy, dark humor.’

If you’re truly depicting human behavior in an honest way, it is a lot of miscommunication, non-communication, paranoia, passive aggressiveness. People don’t finish sentences. They don’t say what they mean. They lie to each other. They take credit for things that are actually other people’s ideas.
