I probably would have retired years ago if I hadn’t found interesting things to do.

I really wanted to retire and rest and spend more time with my children, my grandchildren and of course with my wife.

I knew when my career was over. In 1965 my baseball card came out with no picture.

Hobbies are apt to run away with us, you know; it doesn’t do to be run away with. We must keep the reins.

I can’t play bridge. I don’t play tennis. All those things that people learn, and I admire, there hasn’t seemed time for. But what there is time for is looking out the window.

Some people spend their lives building ultimate dream homes so they can enjoy their twilight years… Others spend their last days in nursing homes.

I got my buzz from playing.

I got into science fiction by being interested in astronomy first.

The day I think I’m not enjoying the game and contributing the way I would like to, I’ll hang up my boots.

I’ve always liked being busy. If I have nothing to do for a week, it just makes me mad.

You can’t get a cup of tea big enough or a book long enough to suit me.

I’m going to stay active as long as I can politically, and with the Carter Center primarily, and if I’m able mentally and physically, will continue to be quite active.

I will never retire from politics, the revolution, or the ideas I have.

I’m not a nerd, don’t plan to be a nerd and read books – which I can’t do at all.

I 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.

I always want to create and do things, or draw.

I don’t race cars.

I 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.

I will never retire unless I have to.

Actually, I hear a lot of rock music. My husband is a big rock fan.

I don’t get bored.

Like 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.

I have hobbies. I like being active. I like to surf a lot, play a little bit of golf.

I 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.

The first real thought that I had of something that I might do was to write for car magazines, because I always had a car thing.

I like my fair share of board games.

You can be passionate about anything.

I read poetry to save time.

As 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.

I 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.

We will keep the promise of Social Security by taking the responsible steps to strengthen it – not by turning it over to Wall Street.

As for hobbies, I don’t really read or watch TV.

If 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.

Playing bridge is a pretty old fashioned thing in a way that I really like.

There are certain age limits on police officers. They’d have retired me out at 65.

You can retire from a job, but don’t ever retire from making extremely meaningful contributions in life.

I like to read books. I like to listen to music.

When I do have free time, I spend it with friends, or I spend it at home writing or making something.

I 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.

I love music, and after my first experience with movies, I can’t wait to do more.

I have retired, but if there’s anything that would kill me it is to wake up in the morning not knowing what to do.

The New Testament says nothing of Apostles who retired and took it easy.

My biggest hobby is hanging out with my family and kids.

I think everybody has something that they’ve been obsessed about in their lifetime.

I like talking. I like acting.

I 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.

I have a mind to join a club and beat you over the head with it.

I have a nice office. I have a nice house… So I’m not denying myself some great things. I just don’t happen to have expensive hobbies.

Maybe some people can wake up and play PlayStation all day, but that’s never been me.

Social 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.

I 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.

If your man is a sports enthusiast, you may have to resign yourself to his spouting off in a monotone on a prize fight, football game or pennant race.

To describe my scarce leisure time in today’s terms, I always default to reading.

A 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.

When I’m in my 50s, I kind of think I’ll want to be in a garden.

I like making things. I don’t like getting my picture taken.

Yes, 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.

Many people will have nothing at the end of their working lives.

I 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.‘

When a man fell into his anecdotage it was a sign for him to retire from the world.

I don’t like to be bored.
