My friend Danny Clinch, who's a photographer, gave me a big, signed, numbered print of a photo he took of Eddie Vedder in Seattle. It's hung in my writing room where I have posters of writers that inspire me. They're all pointing at me. Tom Waits is like, 'Don't sell out!'

Destiny waits alike for the free man as well as for him enslaved by another's might.

Ah, man, if I could ever hook up with Tom Waits, I'd be the happiest camper in Yellowstone, alright? That's the one guy.

On wrongs swift vengeance waits.

Mayweather waits for you to make a mistake. He plays a similar game to me.

Amir Khan

You Weather Waits

I'm really excited to see what the future hold for me in terms of work. It's going to be hard, but it's going to be good hard work, and I'm really excited for the challenge that awaits me.

Amybeth McNulty

Work Good Future

I truly believe in the bright future that awaits us once we leave the E.U.

Andrea Leadsom

Future Waits Wait

I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape. Something waits beneath it; the whole story doesn't show.

Andrew Wyeth

You Winter Win

We live trapped, between the churned-up and examined past and a future that waits for our work.

Anna Freud

Work Future Waits

The clock never stops, never stops, never waits. We're growing old. It's getting late.

Ben Folds

Wing Win Waits

My heroes: Nick Cave, Tom Waits, Nina Simone.

Benjamin Clementine

He that waits upon fortune, is never sure of a dinner.

Benjamin Franklin

Waits Wait Up

Applause waits on success.

Benjamin Franklin

Success Waits Wait

I've covered so much Tom Waits. He's one of my favorite writers. I have a real affinity to how he writes.

Bob Seger

Writes Writers Writer

If you're rude to waiters or waitstaff, I cannot handle that. I really think that shows your true personality.

Brandi Glanville

Your You Waits

Men have a lot less to write about, unless you're somebody like Tom Waits or John Lennon. And the female voice is much more suited to melody. Men have this barky thing - we're domesticated apes with a microphone.

Brandon Boyd

Men You Write

It's always Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and Tom Waits for me - the big three.

Brian Fallon

Brian Fallon

Writing Writers Writer

Tom Waits is someone who has really struck me, ever since I was a kid. He's really a big deal for me.

Brian Fallon

Who Waits Wait

I never got a chance to do Tom Waits or PJ Harvey kind of stuff in the Gaslight Anthem.

Brian Fallon

Chance Waits Wait

A big producer offered me the part of the pretty girl that waits at home for the guy, and I couldn't do it. That's not a story I ever want to tell.

Brie Larson

One of my favorite things about Tom Waits is not only his songs, but when he does do live shows, it's the theatrics involved. It's like Kabuki theater, really old-fashioned theatrics. Like, standing on top of a piece of plywood lying on some cinderblocks and clapping his hands, banging on a bucket.

Brittany Howard

In this respect early youth is exactly like old age; it is a time of waiting for a big trip to an unknown destination. The chief difference is that youth waits for the morning limited and age waits for the night train.

Bruce Catton

Just as Mars - a desert planet - gives us insights into global climate change on Earth, the promise awaits for bringing back to life portions of the Red Planet through the application of Earth Science to its similar chemistry, possibly reawakening its life-bearing potential.

Buzz Aldrin

Originating something is what every actor waits for. Usually, those opportunities are offered to people who already have a name.

Carmen Cusack

Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in that mirror which waits always before or behind.

Catherine Drinker Bowen

I rejected most of the folk I was exposed to in the Seventies. I came around later to Tom Waits, some parts of Jim Croce, and a lot of Cat Stevens.

Chris Cornell

You must intensify and render continuous by repeatedly presenting with suggestive ideas and mental pictures of the feast of good things, and the flowing fountain, which awaits the successful achievement or attainment of the desires.

Claude M. Bristol

They say it's better to bury your sadness in a graveyard or garden that waits for the spring to wake from its sleep and burst into green.

Conor Oberst

To him that waits all things reveal themselves, provided that he has the courage not to deny, in the darkness, what he has seen in the light.

Coventry Patmore

If the people that love you are the people at your side on your last day, and there's not a soul in that room that has any bad words to say about you, well, I'd say Heaven awaits you, my friend.

Coy Bowles

I think about fanaticism - oblivion awaits, especially for minor writers, so you have to be a fanatic; you have to be a crank to keep going, but on the other hand, what else would you do with the rest of your life? You gotta do something.

Cynthia Ozick

I don't count on the boy who waits till October, when it's cool and fun, then decides he wants to play.

Darrell Royal

The government simply waits for farmers to grow their crops - nine months of growing grapes, then two to three weeks of drying them in the sun. Then it takes away a part of that crop and stores it in warehouses around California.

David Fahrenthold

An exciting and inspiring future awaits you beyond the noise in your mind, beyond the guilt, doubt, fear, shame, insecurity and heaviness of the past you carry around.

Debbie Ford

I think it's more important to pray for my son than go out with my friends drinking at a bar until midnight while he waits for me to come home.

Derek Carr

Home, nowadays, is a place where part of the family waits till the rest of the family brings the car back.

Earl Wilson

In a pine tree behind me, an eagle waits out the rain, hunched into himself, brooding. Crows squabble, a murder chasing a raven. Seals cruise the lines of fishing nets bobbing in the water, hoping for an easy meal, the tender bellies of salmon.

Eden Robinson

I am not a player who stays on the edge of the box and waits for a chance.

Edin Dzeko

Squid experts have been debating for some time about whether the giant squid is a passive predator that just floats around in the water and waits to bump into something. I was never one to imagine it to be passive.

Edith Widder

One baby is a patient baby, and waits indefinitely until its mother is ready to feed it. The other baby is an impatient baby and cries lustily, screams and kicks and makes everybody unpleasant until it is fed. Well, we know perfectly well which baby is attended to first. That is the whole history of politics.

Emmeline Pankhurst

A slave is one who waits for someone to come and free him.

Ezra Pound

I always wanted to sound like a man, like Jeff Buckley or Tom Waits.

Florence Welch

Not necessity, not desire - no, the love of power is the demon of men. Let them have everything - health, food, a place to live, entertainment - they are and remain unhappy and low-spirited: for the demon waits and waits and will be satisfied.

Friedrich Nietzsche

He who awaits much can expect little.

Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Growing up, I listened to a lot of American singer/songwriters, so a lot of Tom Waits, Paul Simon - also Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan. And bands like Vampire Weekend.

George Ezra

Courage is heartworth making itself felt in deeds. It never waits for chances; it makes chances.

George Matthew Adams

A man who waits to believe in action before acting is anything you like, but he's not a man of action. You must act as you breathe.

Georges Clemenceau

It came from God, and so is Christ true, and Christ is thy God, who is in heaven and awaits thee.

Girolamo Savonarola

Ours is a God who waits. So who are we not to?
