A desk is a dangerous place from which to view the world.
John le Carre
All the waste in a year from a nuclear power plant can be stored under a desk.
Ronald Reagan
But I really like hosting, I think it's a strength of mine. It allows me to improvise, and I love the spontaneity of that, and I think I'm funny behind the desk when interviewing someone.
Garry Shandling
David Letterman is the best late-night talk show host right now, hands down, and has been since he first took the desk.
George Lopez
Depending on what I'm working on, I come to the writing desk with entirely different mindsets. When I change form one to the other, it's as if another writer is on the scene.
Evan Hunter
Eighteen holes of match play will teach you more about your foe than 18 years of dealing with him across a desk.
Grantland Rice
First, I do not sit down at my desk to put into verse something that is already clear in my mind. If it were clear in my mind, I should have no incentive or need to write about it.
C. Day Lewis
I actually use a computer a lot. I have three computers that I use on a regular basis - one is on my desk top in my Washington office, another is at home, and I have my laptop that I use when I'm travelling.
Rick Boucher
I am really chained to my computer these days so I work in my bedroom, which is a room I have worked in for years and years. It is just as much an office as a bedroom, and during the day, my bed is rather like an extension of my desk.
Margaret Mahy
I can get a better grasp of what is going on in the world from one good Washington dinner party than from all the background information NBC piles on my desk.
Barbara Walters
I can guarantee you this, that more pension and benefit reforms which I will consider arbitration reform to be one of them, are things that when they come to my desk, they will be signed.
Chris Christie
I didn't want to spend my life behind a desk.
John Gilpin
I don't need somebody behind a desk to tell me what a marketing survey says is funny. I got 3 million miles and 70,000 tickets sold, telling me that I know how to make people laugh.
D. L. Hughley
I doubted that there were Communists hiding behind every corporation desk and director's chair.
Gloria Swanson
I eat and drink at my desk, but I'm a tidy eater.
Jamie Zawinski
I enjoy playing other people. It's a great job and it's challenging. I couldn't do a desk job.
Christopher Parker
I enjoy what I do every minute of the day, even when the going gets tough. When I first began writing, I used to work at a desk in the bedroom, of a small development house. My three sons all under the age of 3 would come running in and out of the room every minute.
Evan Hunter
I got so I simply gagged everytime I sat before my desk to write an ad.
Hart Crane
I have a toy giraffe on my bed. I've got photographs over my desk as well as a mask of a giraffe in my kitchen. I am totally hooked.
Joanna Lumley
I just couldn't take school seriously: I had this guitar neck with four frets which I kept hidden under the desk. It had strings on it so I would practice my chord shapes under the desk and that's about all I did at school.
Alvin Lee
