At North Hollywood High School, I was shunned by everyone. I would sit down in the cafeteria, and students would get up from the table and walk away. They thought I was from the Mafia.

I definitely don’t sit down every day and make a new song.

When I sing, trouble can sit right on my shoulder and I don’t even notice.

If writers just sit and talk about oppression, they are not going to do much writing.

If you write a novel alone you sit and you weave a little narrative. And it’s O.K., but it’s of no account.

That’s one thing I never had to do on a Mike Bay set is sit around and pontificate about the next scene; there’s no time for it. You’re already in the next scene.

When you sit tranquilly, you set a great example to the people who rush around in panic and thus you show the crazy waves the beauty of being a calm lake!

I don’t sit there and speculate. I’m not that sort of person. It wastes time, actually.

Never sit staring at a blank page or screen. If you find yourself stuck, write. Write about the scene you’re trying to write. Writing about is easier than writing, and chances are, it will give you your way in.

Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.

I’m the type of person who doesn’t want to sit alone in a restaurant or bar.

Actually, if I could deliberately sit down and write a pop hit, all my songs would be pop hits! Let’s put it this way. I play what I like to hear. And sometimes I like to hear something poppy, and sometimes I don’t.

This leather chair belongs to me. I would let you sit in it, but you can’t sit in an idea.

I got to sit down with people who I admired, and have conversations with some of the greatest thinkers and artists and performers. It’s a huge privilege for me to be a journalist.

One falls to the ground in trying to sit on two stools.

The best posture you can adopt when pursuing your goals is neither to stand nor sit. The best position is to STANDOUT! Everyone may be sitting; but don’t sit! Many people may be standing; but don’t just stand. When you stand, be outstanding!

Everyone’s different, and in that way everyone’s the same. Stand out by sitting down. Try my love seat—it’s made for two people, so you can be comfortably obese.

All of my friends are really good dancers, which was initially why I never danced – we’d go out, and they would kill it, and I’d be like, ‘Yeah, I’m just gonna sit at the bar.’

If you don’t see the images on a screen because people block your view, it is easier to adjust your sitting position than to call for an adjustment of the screen! You need to change yourself!

I get so many ideas for songs, but I’m so seldom disciplined enough to sit down and crank them out.

I don’t consciously start writing a play that involves issues. After it’s done, I sit back like everyone else and think about what it means.

A lot of NBA owners sit at the midcourt. But we love being under the basket and seeing the players.

What I like about Bain Capital is that we have Republicans, we have Democrats, we have independents; we are a diverse firm in terms of political views. But what we do is we sit down and we try to solve the problems.

I don’t card out my screenplays ever. I just have an idea I just sit down and write I don’t edit.

I was never meant to sit at home.

What should be standing in the shoes of passion, and be walking on the plans of action is sitting in the ink on the papper. Why? Because of the fear to start.

I’m not the type of player to sit home and practice scales and work on runs.

My aunt played the piano and I used to sit and listen to it.

See, I don’t like places where people can’t dance – don’t like clubs or theatres where a bunch of bourgeois people sit around tip, tip, tipping their fingers.

What I do doesn’t sit well in the world of hipsterville. I don’t have a cool card, but I also don’t have thin skin.

For me, you have to not have a formula. You have to not even sit down and say, ‘I want to write right now.’ It has to just kind of come out. It’s not something you can plan.

I sit, I think, I make some drawings. As a designer, you cannot retire totally.

I would still like to have that luxury, to be able to just sit and draw for hours and hours and hours. In a way, that’s what I do as a writer.

I wanted to be a pianist but it just wasn’t my thing. I guess I wanted to stand up rather than sit down.

It is not just for a few states to sit and veto global approvals.
