Timelord and all-around Top Turtle Tim, on creating the universe: I've spent years perfecting my craft, an #infinity really. But I still can't quite explain the whole losing a sock in the dryer thing. Apologies for that.

‘So, you’ve been divorced twice and women say you’re a self-obsessed egomaniac. You seem incapable of empathy and you think of relationships as a power game. Your last wife said you were manipulative and dangerous.'
‘I know. I’ve spent years perfecting my craft.’
'Can you start Monday?'

"I've spent years perfecting my craft; not mere years, but nearly a thousand years. If he thought he could keep hiding my wife and himself from me, I wouldn't hesitate to show him I'm not one to trifle with."

"I've spent years perfecting my craft," Jin thought. "And I'm not going to let some high school bully push my ass around." Seeing the politicians and interns sitting at the dining room made a bitter taste in his mouth. "And they want the alien tech from us?" #hbp144
I've spent many years perfecting my craft. When Pharaoh died I was chosen to design a headpiece and casket.
I created a masterpiece.
The priests were impressed and chose me to accompany the Pharaoh to the afterlife.
I worked too hard to be a slave for all eternity. I am escaping to Greece. #hbp144
You have no idea how much trouble you're in. Kinda funny, kinda sad. I may be quiet, but those are the ones ..well, you know. I've spent years perfecting my craft and I'll not be caught. Are you really sure you want to mess with me? I won't be sad. No remorse as I do what needs to be done.

He stood, all eyes in the court in him, except for the two jurors.
" #hbp144 "
A hush spread in the court, this is not what his defense lawyer was arguing a second ago, and the judge waved the defendant forward.
"Why did you interrupt?"
"Those two keep making kissy noises, your honour."
"Sustained."
“I’ve spent years perfecting my craft,” said the author. “That’s why my books win awards.”
“Huh,” I said. “I’ve never even heard of you or your books.”
“I’ve been on the NYT bestseller list.”
“I’ve still never heard of you.”

Victor put his hands to his hips and stood proud beside the easel. "Well?"
The visiting art critics examined the canvas. At last, one put forth, "Is this a macaroni art recreation of 'The Death of Marat'?"
"Glorious, isn't it?" replied Victor. “I've spent years perfecting my craft."

I did not spend my last two decades
Stumbling around in my head's shade
Driving through my bruised bare shins
Dusting cobwebs and dumping trash bins
Just to have you check my pit stains
Try to make my work your own gain
Claim you made me? you're all daft
I've spent years perfecting my craft
