It’s almost like the Monday Night Wars for me all over again. That’s the kind of feeling I get with Reality of Wrestling.
My daughter, the one who lives nearby, is raising her children to be very much aware. We went on a nature walk on Monday; I’m learning so much from her.
Every Monday night, there was a scary movie on Spanish TV, so my parents used to send me to bed. I remember lying there, listening to the TV, and imagining the movie in my head. And so probably the scariest movies I ever saw in my life were the ones I imagined.
We all need to start making some changes to how our families eat. Now, everyone loves a good Sunday dinner. Me included. And there’s nothing wrong with that. The problem is when we eat Sunday dinner Monday through Saturday.
I used to conduct the last opera in Berlin on Sunday, get on a plane on Monday to Chicago, and start a rehearsal that same night, if it was a performance week.
I’m not a big fan of Sundays, but now that my life is kind of chaotic, structure-wise, I don’t really notice it’s Sunday most of the time. But I used to associate it – when I was in school – to ‘back to school on Monday,’ so I didn’t like that day.
Strict shopping laws mean that most German shops close on Saturday afternoons, reopening only on Monday when everybody is back at work.
I got a tiny part in a play, auditioned for another one and got that as well. Not only that, the first finished on the Saturday and the other started on the Monday which is like an actor’s dream!
The projects I have done on television, they’re sitcoms, situational comedies. The problem is, maybe because they go on every day, Monday through Friday, one-hour format, maybe that’s why they’re labeled as a telenovela. But technically speaking, they’re sitcoms because they’re situational comedies.
I know this is going to sound corny, but I love my life. I love my baby, so I love getting to wake up with him. And I have the most amazing job, with writing that any actor would love and costars who I can’t wait to see on Monday mornings. And I love coming home to my husband.
I helped start a ceramics company called CPS Technologies. We took it public in 1987 at $12 a share. Three months later, there was this horrible cliff: Black Monday. Fidelity had bought 15 percent of our stock, and their algorithm caused them to dump it all onto the market that day. We dropped from $12 to $2.
The Times’ new credibility committee report that was issued on Monday very specifically said they will be putting in a policy that reporters must get permission from their department heads to appear on television, which I think is a really good thing.
I could have played in a lot of Monday qualifiers for PGA Tour events, which would have been fine as long as I was getting through. But Monday qualifiers can also be depressing if you are missing out time and again.
I do doubles on Monday and Thursday, take Wednesday off or do easy cardio, do doubles on Thursday and Friday, and the weekend I just get outside and get active – jog or bike ride, or play tennis with my mom.
The cloud that descended on Black Rock on Monday was not for the past but the future. How much will this debacle chill the pursuit of other risky investigations?
Nature is a big part of my weekend. Whenever possible, I take Friday and Monday off and spend four days outdoors. We should remind ourselves that there was something here before us, a force more powerful than us.
It’s such a high-pressure form of live entertainment that I found, once I got out there, being on a movie set isn’t that different from being on ‘Monday Night RAW.’ It’s all stuff that I was prepared for.
From 1971 onwards, the Memorial Day holiday was officially observed on the last Monday in May and became the unofficial start of the summer, with barbecues, blockbuster movie openings and mattress sales.
You did not disturb Hemingway before noon on Monday through Friday – he was in his office, writing the books that made the lifestyle possible.
Watching all the football over the weekend – and having to wait until Monday night to play – gets you ready, gets you firing.
On one level, nothing’s really changed in my life. I still drive my daughter in the car pool on Monday. But it’s impossible not to be aware of this rush of attention; it’s impossible not to be seduced by it once you’ve entered into it, seduced by being unhappy when the attention wanes.
People love in different ways. You may have a man who brings you flowers every Monday but doesn’t give two hooty-hoots about Valentine’s Day. Just because he doesn’t give you a valentine doesn’t mean he doesn’t love you!
A schedule so tight that it would only work if I didn’t sleep on Monday nights.
When I play in Hong Kong I go alternative, from Wu Tang Clan to ‘Blue Monday,’ and then for the last 45 minutes, if they deserve it, I play beautiful drum ‘n’ bass.
The best time in wrestling was with the nWo and the Monday Night War between WCW and WWE.
I like to call my wines ‘anytime wines,’ You just want to sit and open up a bottle and watch ‘The Blacklist’ on a Monday night? Open it up, and it’s very easy. It’s very approachable.
I don’t think most rock stars are particularly calculating. I don’t think they sit there and think, ‘I will do this; therefore, on Monday, I will sell another 200,000 records’.
Don’t let the Monday morning quarterbacks stop you from being bold. You’ve got to set a high bar.
I learned a lot about the prep Monday through Wednesday with my coach.
I train hard Monday to Friday. I’ll do weights and cardio in the gym most mornings and do a spinning class, too.
I think you should start the first 90 minutes of Raw with a Paul Heyman promo and the second 90 minutes of Raw with Brock Lesnar wiping out the entire roster. But then again, that’s my vision for Monday Night Raw.
There are two tests in life, more important than any other test. On Monday morning, when you wake up, do you feel in the pit of your stomach you can’t wait to go to work? And when you’re ready to go home Friday afternoon, do you say, ‘I can’t wait to go home?’
I hadn’t worked for a year when I had my Prison Break audition and it was the easiest audition I’ve ever had. I got the script on Friday, went to the audition on Monday and got the part on Tuesday. I was shooting the pilot a week later. I didn’t have time to be nervous – it happened so quickly.
Make no mistake about it: when you’re on the road Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday – on the road 300 days a year – you have to be a certain type of person.
For ‘Hey Monday,’ there were songs that I co-wrote with songwriters or producers, but our last EP, the whole band did everything together. I’ve had a lot of experience with co-writes, which is basically what I’m doing now. I am writing things on my own, but I really believe co-writing makes you a better writer.
I play tennis five hours a week, from Monday to Friday, for one hour every day. I like to be fit. If I can’t exercise, I feel bad – I need to sweat and run to feel like I’m in good shape.
Being my own boss means I’m a nine-to-five dad Monday to Friday, it’s the best thing ever. It’s the most difficult, insane, wonderful job you could ever do, but it’s more important to hang out with your daughter.
On a typical Monday I swim from six until 8am. I go from there to the gym and do a session from nine until half 10. I get home about 11ish. Take a nap and have lunch. Swim from half three to half five. I get home at half six. Have dinner.
