There are long periods when nothing happens, and it’s just boring and disheartening. But we have a theory that nothing’s wasted, even those long days of staring at one another.

- “I realized that for many people attending a reading is like watching television at the end of a long day. They don’t want to be sad but to laugh.

They’d much rather the reading be sexy, funny, and witty. Life is hard these days. There’s more than enough sadness in the world, so I can’t blame them.” ~ Chinelo Okparanta
- “That enforced time when you have to switch off, that you’re on a plane, is so unusual these days.

I find that the kind of traveling – long days, particularly if you go somewhere to do a show, and then traveling again the next day – a lot of people would find pretty challenging, but I find it energizing in a weird way.” ~ Johnny Marr
- “The thing is, when you’re kind of creatively self-employed, your brain just kind of chooses the path of least resistance, so if you really exhausted and you’ve had a long day, then that’s typically when you might respond to emails or if you’re on a plane and have nothing else to do, then you might listen to music and write these satirical pieces trying to explain the charts with music theory.” ~ Owen Pallett

You’re going to have to let her drown that third one.” ~ Daniel Tosh
- “I am a nonbeliever myself. But I think there’s so much about religion that is not factual in nature as to why people engage with it and what it means to them. You can debunk why you think there’s no physical evidence for God and why the story of Jesus didn’t really happen that way and stuff like that all the live-long day, and it’s not going to make a difference to what role religion has in people’s lives and how they feel about it and how it makes their lives better or worse.” ~ Adam Conover
-
“You have moments where you do appearances and people recognize you and you get fan letters, but that’s after you’ve put in long days rehearsing, filming and for us kids – going to school on the set.” ~ Ken Osmond

I can’t explain the fulfillment of that, but it is everything.” ~ Brad Pitt

For men love one another with spiritual love only when they have suffered the same sorrow together, when through long days they have plowed the stony ground buried beneath the common yoke of a common grief. It is then that they know one another and feel one another and feel with one another in their common anguish, and so they pity one another and love one another.” ~ Miguel de Unamuno
- “I won’t miss having to stand for two hours at 4:30 a.m. and have freezing cold glue applied to my feet.

But I would do it all again tomorrow.” ~ Dominic Monaghan
