In the FUTURE we will all be FAMOUS for 15 minutes. It will be on a daytime magazine programme and we will each wear a tasteful shirt and slacks COMBINATION. We'll be interviewed by a soothing voice under a clock that's permanently set to 4pm. We will talk about the WEATHER. We will record for months to get 15 minutes they can USE in the edit.

But I love New YORK. I used to set my alarm CLOCK when I was there, and get up at 4am and get a COFFEE, just because I could.

I MUST GOVERN the CLOCK, not be GOVERNED by it.

In any CASE, you can't TURN BACK the CLOCK.

I WOULD LIKE to have a 'Lost' clapper board with the NUMBERS and the CLOCK at the top.

I need to recharge CREATIVELY, and GET off the clock of having to be somewhere just because, and having to KEEP juggling all these THINGS.

We've already seen DIGITAL PICTURE frames pre-loaded with viruses; I'm not EAGER to have my refrigerator hacked or my ALARM clock TURNED against me.

YouTube began as a FAILED video-dating site. Twitter was a failed music service. In each case, the founders continued to TRY new concepts when their big ideas failed. They often worked around the clock to try to overcome their FAILURE before all their CAPITAL was spent. Speed to fail GIVES a startup more runway to pivot and ultimately succeed.

Any time a YOUNG adult BOOK throws a girl and a GUY together, the CLOCK STARTS running on the countdown to the kiss.

I THINK when you're off the CLOCK, you should be off the clock.

If I'm at home for the weekend - and that is almost NEVER - I tend to GET twitchy at about eight o'CLOCK in the EVENING because my body clock is timed to go on stage. I don't know what to do with myself.

I wanted to play the part that Mary Kay PLAYED, the lawyer who wanted to have baby and felt her CLOCK ticking, because it was something I COULD RELATE to.

I WANT to cultivate my own SOUND in my own ATMOSPHERE, where the CLOCK is not RUNNING.

I marketed pens - on the phone. But the beauty of the gig was that you had to call these STRANGERS and say, 'Hi, how ya doing?' You made up a NAME, like, 'Hey, it's Edward Quartermaine from California. You're eligible to receive this grandfather CLOCK or a trip to Tahiti.' You promise them all these things if they BUY a gross of pens.
