I played on the Jets during Namath's last four years, and we used to ask ourselves, 'When is it going to happen? When are they finally going to replace him?' We'd wait for it, week by week, but it never happened.

I'm not always going to keep waiting for a fairytale ending.

Applause, it's very nice, of course. But when you're giving, and creating, and then there is the silence of everyone sitting there, listening, waiting, that is great.

When I was growing up in the early '70s and really getting into music, waiting outside the record store for that 45, waiting for a single from The Dead, The Clash, David Bowie, or T-Rex or something to be there. There was something about that that was so special.

My husband says he wants to have the best hay field in Britain. I can't wait.

I was standing in the schoolyard waiting for a child when another mother came up to me. Have you found work yet? she asked. Or are you still just writing?

A big reason I'd spent my career as a writer and not a public speaker is that I am a person who refines my worldview in a silent room, waiting for my thoughts to arrange themselves on the screen before me.

Forget quantitative easing - I've always thought the idea of injecting virtual money into the system is an accident waiting to happen.

No sense making plans to get a job or finish school at Johns Hopkins, which I just wasn't getting anything out of. Life was waiting to go back on 'Jeopardy!'

I used to have 20/20 vision, believe it or not; that's gone because of all the reading I did when I wasn't supposed to, reading in the back of a car, waiting for each street light to go past so I could grab another sentence.

Actors, you have to wait for people to give you work, or you have to make your own stuff. But standup, I could just say, 'I want to do standup in 30 minutes,' and I can go do standup. Or I could just say, 'I want to do standup in a few weeks in this city.'

You grow up loving movies, and your first instinct is you want to be an actor, because those are the people you see in the movies. But when you actually become an actor, you're like, 'Oh, wait, this is actually only a small portion of the storytelling. If I want to really tell a story, I'd want to be a director.'

When you're adapting, you are working on someone else's problem that they have already solved. The work has been fine-tuned and read countless times, and you're just arriving at the end and taking what you want, so of course it is the regal way to moviemaking. Plays are just the ideal scripts - the structure is there and waiting for you.

Watching all the football over the weekend - and having to wait until Monday night to play - gets you ready, gets you firing.

The idea of going into the property business and collecting rent four times a year and waiting for five-year rent reviews has limited appeal.

Wait a minute, I'm a fan of yours; you can't be a fan of mine!

I can choose to be happy, or choose to be miserable every day - waiting until I die.

He who is prudent and lies in wait for an enemy who is not, will be victorious.

I have always felt like I was just sort of waiting to catch up to the rest of myself.

If public opinion still endorses military action that's one thing, but if they wait maybe it will not. So it's not only impatience, but there are several other factors.
