Me and my mates go free running all the time. It’s not my mum’s favourite sport. I’ve probably jumped four metres on to grass and two metres between buildings. It’s nothing like you see on the Internet, with guys jumping off skyscrapers, but it’s fun.
I’ve always been a fan of the home workout. I know a lot of people think that jumping around in your living room is never going to be as effective. But you can get an amazing workout using your bodyweight alone.

The thing about Netflix is that you get more minutes in your episode because there are no commercial breaks. You have time to let things breathe and be quiet. You get to see an entire scene play out instead of just jumping halfway in.
My hope is to see Tom Cruise jumping on my couch.
Write the best book you can, the one that demands to be written, no matter what genre it is. Even a trend the trades tell you has gone stale can be revitalized by a superb piece of writing. It’ll never be revitalized by someone jumping on a trend bandwagon.
The Coast Guard evokes images of search and rescue operations, maybe during Hurricane Katrina, or guys jumping out of helicopters wearing snorkels and fins – and that’s accurate, but only part of the picture.

You know the adage, when you want something done, ask a busy person. It’s so true. Having kids taught me to prioritize, delegate, and accept life’s imperfections. I also learned the all-important skill of jumping off the train: taking breaks in career and passion pursuits to tend to the things that last.
I never thought I could do certain things like somersaults and jumping off the ropes and flips. When you actually learn to do it, you’re really amazed with what your body can do.

I know what my comfort zones are. But without a back-up, I will never step out of my comfort zone. I don’t go bungee jumping; I won’t jump from the third floor without a safety net. I don’t do such things. That’s not my personality type.
In ‘A Room With a View,’ you have three young Englishmen running around naked and laughing and whooping and jumping in the water. It’s something the English don’t apparently find troublesome.

I wasn’t jumping like Carl Lewis, but I still won an Olympic title.
Every time you accelerate – say by jumping up and down – you’re generating gravitational waves.
I want to make sure I’m climbing because there’s no back-up. No one in my family has a house, and, regardless of your background, if someone has a house, that means you can always come back home. When you don’t have that, it’s like there isn’t anywhere to stand, so you have to keep jumping.
I like jumping around perspective. It keeps things alive and makes you realize that your personal perspective on anything is very misleading and it’s real hard to get a real sense of anything.
Ah, the power of two. There’s nothing quite like it. Especially when it comes to paying utility bills, parenting, cooking elaborate meals, purchasing a grown-up bed, jumping rope and lifting heavy machinery. The world favours pairs. Who wants to waste the wood building an ark for singletons?
Most of my work had been in theater, and I was jumping not just into television but ‘L.A. Law,’ which had all these megastars in it.
These were all middle-class kids from literary backgrounds, joining this sort of train going by, this pop train, jumping on. Whereas the rest of the rock scene, you’ll find that there’s mostly working-class people.

The word ‘aerobics’ came about when the gym instructors got together and said: If we’re going to charge $10 an hour, we can’t call it Jumping up and down.

You’ve seen how they make movies like Star Wars and stuff. They’re never really there. They’re in front of a green screen just pretending to be jumping around.
We look for companies that are unlike anything we’ve ever seen before, with a bold vision to change the world and run by passionate entrepreneurs who get you jumping out of your seat.

The whole fame question is one that is constantly intriguing to me. I think that fame is something that other people create about you. Whether you jump into that or not is up to you – and whether you have the talents for jumping into it or not.
If I had to explain what WrestleMania was to someone who’s never seen wrestling, never seen WWE, never heard of the concept of WrestleMania, I would show them a five second video clip of The Rock and Hulk Hogan standing motionless in the ring while 70,000 people are jumping up and down.
I think that even at my most anxious, if I have a job to do or a role to fill, I know on some level I can step up and complete it. I mean, I’m probably not going to go bungee jumping anytime soon… but pushing myself to weather some discomfort now and then feels healthy.
We always had so many kids in our family, running around the yard, sweaty little kids jumping in and out of the pool, the front door and back doors swinging open and shut, all of the parents getting pissed off telling us to stay outside.

The adrenaline feeling of jumping out of cliffs and bikes and all of that is very specific to the film. In ‘Pac Rim’ I’m not doing that so much. There isn’t that touch stonework for me in it, but there is a lot of action.
I just love jumping into someone else’s life. It is a relatively cheap way to experience things you would be too scared to contemplate in your own life.
I’m a great believer in not sitting around waiting for the right part to come around, but jumping in and building it for yourself.
Hardcore wrestling like CZW is just nonsense. There’s no story there. You’ve got guys jumping off of houses onto barb wired tables, and that’s it. They don’t know how to work. CZW is trash.
On this day there was soon wind enough and to spare. The same might have been said of the sea. The Spray was in the midst of the turbulent Gulf Stream itself. She was jumping like a porpoise over the uneasy waves.
I am classified as a disabled veteran. The reason I’m disabled is because I have wounds and injuries that I got while on active duty… from parachute jumping to combat to gunshot wounds, all that stuff.
I felt like jumping out a window when I heard Streisand was doing it. I’d played it four and a half years – I thought Dolly was mine. But after the initial shock wore off, I realized no great part is ever exclusively anybody’s.
In most every other country, ‘body flying’ more commonly known as BASE jumping is legal and looked upon as a beautiful art. Here in the United States, those of us who pursue human flight are treated as criminals and are forced to travel abroad to seek one of man’s most fundamental desires, to fly free.
First, when I was 12, I saw a Spanish girl jumping rope. I never saw her face, but it was still the most beautiful sight I’d ever seen.
You get a show where people are jumping up and dancing, but it’s not a critical event in the sense of profound catharsis. Essentially it’s celebratory.
