“My first job was with the Burns Detective Agency. They sent me over to the East River to guard coal barges during these god-awful hours like three to six in the morning. It wasn't a very difficult job -- all I had to do was make a round every fifteen minutes -- but it turned out to be a great environment for writing. I was completely alone in a little outhouse with an electric heater and a little desk.” WritingFirstsLittlesJobsThreeDifficultHoursMorningEnvironmentMinutesSixRiversRoundsEastAwfulAgencyElectricFifteenDesksCoalDetectivesBarges Author:Sam Shepard
“As I've gotten older, I can look at myself more clearly and own the things that I'm good at and work on the things that I'm not. Like, I am not skinny. I know that if I were to lose a little weight I'd literally have more time in the morning because I know clothes would fit better. And now I can look at those things more practically. Instead of being like, "What does that say about me?," now I'm just like, "That would be great to sleep in an extra fifteen minutes because I wasn't trying on everything in my closet."” IfsKnowsTryingLooksLittlesDoeI CanWould BeLosesSleepMorningMinutesFitClothesWeightExtrasMore TimeFifteenClosetsSkinny Author:Mindy Kaling
“I grew up playing the guitar. I started when I was nine, and by the time I was nine and a half or ten, I was doing seven or eight hours' practice every day. I did two hours' practice at six o'clock in the morning before I went to school, and another two hours as soon as I got home from school in the afternoon. Then I did four hours at night before I went to bed. I did that until I was fourteen or fifteen.” TwoHomeSchoolNightHoursHalfPracticeMorningFourGrewBedTenSixGrew UpSevenGuitarEightNineClockAfternoonDedicationFifteenFourteen Author:Joe Pass
“I really enjoy touring period! I had another band called Killing Machine, we went out on tour which was only fifteen shows & we went out in a really old motor home. That had to be the most fun. I didn't have to do radio at nine in the morning everyday. It was me & a bunch of friends. The singer was my tattoo artist. My girlfriend would fly in & we would sleep in a hammock above the bed the band were sleeping in [laughs]. I like that stuff that's really fun, I like the camping experience.” ShowsHomeArtistFunStuffEnjoySleepMorningLaughingPeriodsBedBandMachinesKillingEverydayRadioSingersNineBunchGirlfriendFifteenTattooMotorTouringMy GirlfriendCampingSleeping InHammocks Author:Tracii Guns
