it's not from any of the books. it's either from an article in a magazine
he wrote or an interview, but since i don't know which, this post wasn't
very helpful.

I'm not sure where or when he said it (or wrote it) but it was:

"I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by. "
