I’m a little bit of an adrenaline junky.
I don’t get to sleep when I’m in New York. Really. I’m living on adrenaline.
I’ve always had lots of side projects in my life, but what’s exciting for me is knowing that Adrenaline Mob is bigger than that.
It’s the adrenaline rush you only get from being in front of an audience. It’s addictive.
In 2000, I got stuck in the sea off Cyprus after I fell off a boat. I was out there for over an hour. I am not a strong swimmer, but adrenaline kicked in, and I swam back.
I feel like I’ve always been a great fighter but I’m learning the patience part of it and not getting overwhelmed with emotion and adrenaline and going out there and brawling like a maniac.
The reaction of the public plays a very important role. It gives us an adrenaline boost, especially when people start to shout and clap their hands in time with the music. That really helps us to go on.
Normally you have more adrenaline and tension when you see 80,000 fans, screaming after every corner or chance. You have to push yourself and your teammates. Normally when there are fans you are focused just because of that. You feel mistakes more. Also you feel more if you score a goal.
It was the character of the Packers, man. We played for sixty minutes. We let it all hang out. There was no tomorrow for us. We got the adrenaline flowing, and we just let it go, man.
Adrenaline is a huge deal. All of a sudden you start hitting the golf ball a little bit farther. You learn to stay within yourself and what you have to do to calm yourself down and stay within your game plan.
Adrenaline is wonderful. It covers pain. It covers dementia. It covers everything.
Problem-solving, inventing, hacking and coding is more of an adrenaline rush of endorphins rather than a feeling.
A doctor once told me I have abnormal levels of adrenaline in my system.
In Adrenaline Mob, I’m not the leader, but I’m on the board of directors, and that’s OK. I’m not stressing out over every detail. I’m sharing the load.
To get the adrenaline pumping between events – or to help me switch off, Jay Z, the Roots and Drake are on my playlist.
I love the stage. It’s terrifying in a way that film and television is not. When you’re about to go out, and you’re adrenaline just gets out of control, and that can be really daunting.
Conflict photographers grapple with two worlds that are themselves often in conflict – the one where bombs fall and bullets fly, where adrenaline runs high, and the other, back home, which is comparatively secure, and where the big event of the day may involve selecting swatches of fabric for a new sofa.
I don’t think enough players channel the energy of the crowd. If it’s done properly, and you don’t let anger overwhelm and distract you, it’s like a shot of adrenaline in the arm, and it gets the crowd pumped up.
It doesn’t matter how tired I am; I will always still be happy. As soon as you go onstage, you get adrenaline. You hear the crowd: they’re screaming your name. They have posters. The energy gives you energy.
I’m Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Adrenaline makes me change.
A huge adrenaline rush is usually followed by a pretty low point.
‘Lost’ holds a very special place in people’s hearts and I wouldn’t presume to say that ‘FlashForward’ will replace ‘Lost.’ I think it provides a lot of the same adrenaline and fascination and entertainment. It will help ease the pain of losing ‘Lost!’ I think it will appeal to the very same audience.
I love working with smart people and being challenged. I also like working on stuff that’s relevant. That’s my adrenaline shot.
What’s so interesting about ‘Point Break’ to me is that it’s a study of testosterone and adrenaline by a woman. That’s why it’s little more interesting than it should be.
Adrenaline is an amazing thing.
I think I just get excited by music, and, like, singing is a very physical thing. It releases endorphins in your body. You’re using almost muscle in there, and I think that adrenaline really helps to kind of make the songs fresh every time.
Every single time I perform ‘River,’ I just feel a huge rush of adrenaline and energy, and I remember writing it.
I was always drawn to the more physical style of dancing. That is why I breakdance. I love the challenge. The adrenaline rush is there with that.
I’d gone from being a normal HR worker from Hull to being recognised in the street, being on TV. As much as it was exciting, thrilling, and a big, huge adrenaline rush.
In fighting, you’re not going 200 mph, but there’s obviously danger in the sport. If you’re a fighter or a NASCAR driver, you’re obviously an adrenaline junkie. Both also take a lot of skill.
It is the greatest shot of adrenaline to be doing what you have wanted to do so badly. You almost feel like you could fly without the plane.
I always have gotten nervous before every show. But the second I step onstage, it’s all gone. It’s sort of like an adrenaline rush for me.
I think there’s going to be pressure on all the British athletes. It’s a home Olympics at the end of the day. I like adrenaline, that’s something I feed off. I’m just going to go out there and do my best.
I like to listen to the crowd, I really do. The crowd helps give me that extra boost of adrenaline.
When you’re in the military, you teeter on the edge of that line of life and death. The reason you feel so alive when you come through is because you know you’ve cheated death – and that and the adrenaline rush is addictive, no question.
Performing on stage is addictive. The adrenaline rush is exhilarating. When I stop touring for a couple weeks, I get antsy.
I’m not a big adrenaline junkie.
The purpose of art is not the release of a momentary ejection of adrenaline but is, rather, the gradual, lifelong construction of a state of wonder and serenity.
People get jaded in every profession, but for some reason, I feel as passionate as when I was 13 years old and just released my first album. I feel the same amount of adrenaline in my blood, and the same amount of curiosity as well. Curiosity about why I’m different.
I’ve got a great life that I really enjoy. But there is something chewing at me inside: that adrenaline rush from football, I miss that.
When money and hype recede from the art world, one thing I won’t miss will be what curator Francesco Bonami calls the ‘Eventocracy.’ All this flashy ‘art-fair art’ and those highly produced space-eating spectacles and installations wow you for a minute until you move on to the next adrenaline event.
In a tiebreaker, you generally have a lot of adrenaline running through. It’s all about just holding your serve, trying to hold two serves at a time, trying to stay ahead in the tiebreaker, constantly put pressure on my opponent.
The most fun is the high bar – I just like the adrenaline rush of doing the high-flying releases.
I don’t want to be made pacified or made comfortable. I like stuff that gets your adrenaline going.
If you play tennis it is to have these moments, moments of adrenaline, where it gets dangerous. It is a bit masochistic.
I get very excited about my double stroller. Every time I look at it, I get a shot of adrenaline and joy because I think, This is real!
Here is something no real celebrity will ever tell you: film acting is not very fun. Doing the same thing over and over again until, in the director’s eyes, you ‘get it right’ does not allow for very much creative freedom… In terms of sheer adrenaline, film has absolutely nothing on theater.
I still get a rush of adrenaline after a big game, but the older I get, the more I laugh at the days when I was nervous to interview an athlete or coach.
I just loved performing. It just made me feel alive. It’s scary, but that’s part of it. I think it’s important to have that extra adrenaline. It gives you that extra zing.
If you have a life which is adrenaline-charged all week long because you’re a powerful CEO, or you have responsibilities and you’re committed to the people you look after, it’s very difficult on weekends to sit around the garden. So you probably look for something which gives you the same sort of adrenaline buzz.
The adrenaline of performing live in front of an audience is a feeling that’s hard to replicate.
I pretty much operate on adrenaline and ignorance.
The adrenaline of being somewhere no one has ever been before is, or at least not for thousands of years, is quite extraordinary and by and large that overwhelms the feeling of personal terror.
I wanted to become a cricketer primarily because the idea of playing in front of 40,000 odd people gave me an adrenaline rush.
I woke up in London one morning in the middle of an adrenaline surge, and I was just lying there – the sun was coming up – trying to think of the best way to describe this feeling, and ‘pang’ was the only word I could really use to describe it.
Acting was a lot like football. When you’re a DB and you’re one on one with a receiver, you’re going to dance. It’s go-time in front of 100,000 people and everybody watching on TV. That’s exactly how it is when a director says ‘Action!’ It’s the same adrenaline rush, the same training process. I love it.
It’s fun to figure out a way to make something happen that will get the reader involved on a visceral level. When written well, an exciting scene on the page will actually have a physical effect on the reader – your heart will beat faster, your adrenaline will start to flow.
