Hobbies are apt to run away with us, you know; it doesn’t do to be run away with. We must keep the reins.
George EliotI read poetry to save time.
Marilyn MonroeI used to draw a lot. If my mother would ask me to do something else, I’d have a hairy conniption. I’d just go crazy.
Jim CarreyI like making things. I don’t like getting my picture taken.
Mark ZuckerbergI always want to create and do things, or draw.
Billie EilishI mean, what would I be doing if I couldn’t write? But that fortunately hasn’t proved to be the case and I can read any day. I still read a lot, and I can write any day, but much more slowly and fewer words.
Christopher HitchensActually, I hear a lot of rock music. My husband is a big rock fan.
Dolly PartonThe day I think I’m not enjoying the game and contributing the way I would like to, I’ll hang up my boots.
Sunil ChhetriYou can’t get a cup of tea big enough or a book long enough to suit me.
C. S. LewisWhen a man fell into his anecdotage it was a sign for him to retire from the world.
Benjamin DisraeliI like to read books. I like to listen to music.
Haruki MurakamiI do things I love doing. Sometimes that is maybe going out to have a drink with friends, going out partying or whatever.
Lando NorrisThe effort to try to present the Social Security program as if it’s a major problem, that’s just a hidden way of trying to undermine and destroy it.
Noam ChomskyI was kind of secretly hoping one of my kids would go out and make a million bucks. So when they put me in a home, at least I’ll have a window with a view.
Joe BidenMy biggest hobby is hanging out with my family and kids.
Joel OsteenI really wanted to retire and rest and spend more time with my children, my grandchildren and of course with my wife.
Nelson MandelaA lot of people like to do certain things, but they’re not that good at it. Keep going through the things that you like to do, until you find something that you actually seem to be extremely good at. It can be anything.
George LucasI have hobbies. I like being active. I like to surf a lot, play a little bit of golf.
Tom BradyI have a little bit of that gamer spirit in me. I just don’t have the time to be a gamer. But in another life, I would be one.
J. ColeWhen I do have free time, I spend it with friends, or I spend it at home writing or making something.
Billie EilishI don’t get bored.
Haruki MurakamiI will never turn Medicare into a voucher. No American should ever have to spend their golden years at the mercy of insurance companies. They should retire with the care and dignity they have earned.
Barack ObamaAs for my stuff, I’m just doing guest verses for other people’s records. I try to stay recording, because if I don’t, I get rusty.
EminemI listen to music all day every day. I can’t not listen to music. It’s kind of scary how much I listen to music, but it’s what I love, and it’s all I care about, so I’m good with it.
Billie EilishI have been trying to retire to the back of the camera for quite a few years, and in 1970, when I first started directing, I said, ‚If I could pull this off, I can some day move to the back of the camera and stay there.‘
Clint EastwoodWhen I’m in my 50s, I kind of think I’ll want to be in a garden.
Taylor SwiftIf you don’t like the idea that most of the money spent on lottery tickets supports government programs, you should know that most of the earnings from mutual funds support investment advisors‘ and mutual fund managers‘ retirement.
Robert KiyosakiI can’t play soccer, and I’m not a great swimmer. I won’t drown, but you won’t see me doing laps in a pool.
Michelle ObamaI’m not a nerd, don’t plan to be a nerd and read books – which I can’t do at all.
Virat KohliContemplation of life after retirement and life after death can help you deal with contemporary challenges.
Russell M. NelsonI don’t like to be bored.
John KennedyWhen I retire I’m going to spend my evenings by the fireplace going through those boxes. There are things in there that ought to be burned.
Richard M. NixonI have retired, but if there’s anything that would kill me it is to wake up in the morning not knowing what to do.
Nelson MandelaI will never retire from politics, the revolution, or the ideas I have.
Fidel CastroI like talking. I like acting.
Denzel WashingtonMaybe some people can wake up and play PlayStation all day, but that’s never been me.
Tom BradyI like my fair share of board games.
Sunil ChhetriAs for hobbies, I don’t really read or watch TV.
Tom BradySocial Security’s not the hard one to solve. Medicare, that is the gorilla in the room, and you’ve got to put all of it on the table.
Joe BidenLike the old soldier of the ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty. Goodbye.
Douglas MacArthurYou can retire from a job, but don’t ever retire from making extremely meaningful contributions in life.
Stephen CoveyI love music, and after my first experience with movies, I can’t wait to do more.
RihannaI got into science fiction by being interested in astronomy first.
Terry PratchettTo describe my scarce leisure time in today’s terms, I always default to reading.
Jimmy BuffettSome people spend their lives building ultimate dream homes so they can enjoy their twilight years… Others spend their last days in nursing homes.
Billy GrahamThe New Testament says nothing of Apostles who retired and took it easy.
Billy GrahamWhen I am playing baseball, I give it all that I have on the ball field. When the ball game is over, I certainly don’t take it home. My little girl who is sitting out there wouldn’t know the difference between a third strike and a foul ball. We don’t talk about baseball at home.
Jackie RobinsonI don’t profess to have music as my big wheel and there are a number of other things as important to me apart from music. Theatre and mime, for instance.
David BowieYes, we’ve still got more work to do. More work to do for every American still in need of a good job or a raise, paid leave or a decent retirement; for every child who needs a sturdier ladder out of poverty or a world-class education; for everyone who has not yet felt the progress of these past seven and a half years.
Barack ObamaI’m definitely looking forward to the day when I stop working – if I ever stop working. I like the idea of keeling over in my tomato vines in Sardinia or northern Italy.
Anthony BourdainI got my buzz from playing.
George BestEvery time I try to retire, or even think of retiring from acting, my agent comes up with a script.
Anthony HopkinsI don’t race cars.
Dwayne JohnsonWe will keep the promise of Social Security by taking the responsible steps to strengthen it – not by turning it over to Wall Street.
Barack ObamaI have a mind to join a club and beat you over the head with it.
Groucho MarxThere are certain age limits on police officers. They’d have retired me out at 65.
Clint EastwoodYou can be passionate about anything.
Jerry SeinfeldI knew when my career was over. In 1965 my baseball card came out with no picture.
Bob UeckerMany people will have nothing at the end of their working lives.
Robert KiyosakiPlaying bridge is a pretty old fashioned thing in a way that I really like.
Bill Gates
