I was runner that really started focusing on swimming at a very young age, and that’s kind of how I got into acting. I was at a school for gifted athletes and gifted artists, and I got injured one year and started hanging out with all the actors and dancers and all those crazy people and started getting the bug.
If you are going to describe the history of animation, you’d look at the early Disney work, then ‘Bugs Bunny,’ ‘Road Runner’ and other Warner Brothers theatrical productions. But when you got to ‘Rocky and Bullwinkle,’ you’d see they were unique: They assumed you had a brain in your head.
I want to learn how to ride a bike properly – not like a runner.
Marathon runner Sophie Raworth is always trying to get me to put my running shoes back on, but I can’t match her for fitness.
One year, I went to Cannes with the film ‘The Indian Runner’ that Sean Penn directed. Everyone else in the film was all the same height, and on the red carpet, when they were taking photos, none of them would stand next to me, and I totally got it.
People would say I’m more polished as a passer than Tebow and Cam, but I’m not as physical a runner. But I am 6’2′, 223, and I can throw with the best of them.
If I can become a runner, anyone can!
When you run the marathon, you run against the distance, not against the other runners and not against the time.
With a runner at second base with nobody out, you’re trying to punch somebody out. You understand when there are guys in scoring position; hitters like to be aggressive early.
I’m actually doing more stunts for ‘Maze Runner’ than I did for ‘Insurgent.’
If you want to be a successful runner, you have to consider everything. It’s no good just thinking about endurance and not to develop fine speed.
Any part I do is a marriage of the words – what the playwright or producer or show runner’s vision is – to how I would play it. It took me a while to get rid of ‘Oh, they want it this way, so I’m going to do it how they want it.’
‘Newhart’ ran the longest, and it was great to have a regular role, but I run into a lot of film fans, and they ask me about ‘Blade Runner.’ I was grateful to be a part of that.
I’ve been kinda fascinated by misfits, outcasts, and downtrodden people. I’ve identified with them. ‘Blade Runner’ probably got me more work than any. It convinced some producers that I could play something other than a rural crazy, I guess.
I trained with a few Olympic runners and jumpers. Just to try to get a little bit faster, a little bit better. Anything I could do to try to get a little bit better and stay ahead of the competition.
Every day of the year where the water is 76, day and night, and the waves roll high, I take my sled, without runners, and coast down the face of the big waves that roll in at Waikiki.
I didn’t like the way I shot the ball in Milwaukee, so I worked really hard on my shooting – threes off the move and off the catch. And also continued to work on my ball-handling and my in-between game – my runners and floaters.
For most teenage runners, the right foods means a varied diet, decreasing the amount of fat found in the typical American diet and replacing those calories with carbohydrates. Avoid saturated fats, such as those found in fried foods, and eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables.
I’ve always been a runner.
I went to Manchester, didn’t know anyone, got a job as a runner and worked my butt off. I got paid 60 quid a week, and lived above a pub.
Buzz has reduced my range. Running safely with him means using fewer and shorter routes, with multiple laps per day or multiple returns there per week. Neither of us minds repeating ourselves. This is what runners do.
I’m among the hardcore fans of ‘Blade Runner.’ ‘Blade Runner’ is one of my favorite movies of all time. It’s a movie that is linked with my love and passion for cinema.
African runners regularly work out in the United States and Europe, and the International Olympic Committee sends some of the cash from the Games to Olympic committees in poor nations, which use the money to finance their own programs.
I don’t want to get too detailed into it, but when you’re a good high school running back, you can almost be whatever type of runner you want to be. If you’re a good size and a good athlete, you can be whatever type of runner you want.
I was a runner, a failed quarterback, third-string quarterback, but in track I was a 2-miler.
When I saw ‘Blade Runner,’ my understanding was that ‘Blade Runner’ and ‘Alien’ were sequels to each other – or they were related. They were set in the same world.
For me, it’s about finding ways. Obviously I’m not a great hitter, but I’m going to try and beat you anyway I can. I think about that in every aspect of the game. Running? I’m not the fastest runner, but I can steal a base. For me it’s about taking advantage of what I can.
Well, stealing bases adds some runs but very few, and you lose most of the runs that you gain by having runners caught stealing.
My address book of dealers and private collectors, smugglers and fixers, agents, runners and the peculiar assortment of art hangers-on was longer than anyone else’s in the field.
I rolled the second car that I ever owned, a Toyota 4 Runner. This was winter in Colorado, two weeks before the 2002 Olympic trials. I was driving in the outside lane, and my rear tire caught some black ice, and we totally turned sideways to the point where we were heading right toward the median.
Baseball players practice, runners practice, so how can you practice being funny? You get up onstage. You train as an improviser, playing make-believe, using the vernacular of improvisation, saying ‘yes and’ to other people’s ideas, making statements.
It’s always easiest for me as a writer if I know I have a great ending. It can make everything else work. If you don’t have a good ending, it’s the hardest things in the world to come up with one. I always loved the ending of ‘The Kite Runner,’ and the scenes that are most faithful to the book are the last few scenes.
Exercise has its hazards. Runners are sidelined by shinsplints, freestylists by swimmer’s ear, and who hasn’t heard of tennis elbow? But the fitness buff of the ’90s has a far greater worry. StairMaster Butt.
You have to bear in mind that Mr. Autry’s favorite horse was named Champion. He ain’t ever had one called Runner Up.
Most major races, including the New York City Marathon, require runners to provide photo identification when picking up a bib. Most provide bibs only a few days before the race, shortening the window in which someone could copy a bib.
I’m a runner first before anything else.
I don’t ever remember seeing a base runner who was all the way to third base run back across the mound. It was kind of a respectful thing.
Every time I touch the ball, I think I’m going to go all the way. I think I’m going to score a touchdown. I’m the runner I am because I think that I’m going to go all the way every single time I touch the ball.
In fact, the bandits steal the drinks and assistance provided along the course. Worse, they cross the finish line and mess up the scoring of legitimate runners.
I’m not a natural runner. I’m friends with Ellie Goulding, and she’ll be like, ‘I’ve just done a 10K run’ and I’m like: ‘Why would you do that? How do you just do that?’ But I will do that. I will do it.
I am very amazed by the runners out there because I like jog to the garbage can outside sometimes, and I get tired.
A runner must run with dreams in his heart, not money in his pocket.
I am basically a runner. It gives a ‘runners high’ – a feeling of euphoria and well-being which generates endorphins in the brain.
I’m a runner from sports. I’ve been a runner, but I wasn’t a cross-country runner or anything like that. I played a lot of soccer growing up.
Marshawn Lynch is an angry, violent runner.
This is what I wanted. They tell me that London is the best field in history. I wanted to be part of that. Because everyone will be there it will be a wonderful challenge for me. You can see the best runners, how they look, how they run. For me to beat the best is what counts.
I definitely look to people like Usain Bolt and Sanya Richards and especially Allyson Felix, being an American athlete who went pro right after high school. Of course I would like to replicate that career, but obviously as a 1500-meter runner.
Honestly, I would never say, ‘Oh, I’ve decided not to read ‘The Left Hand of Darkness’ because I’ve seen ‘Blade Runner.’ I’ve decided not to read ‘Neuromancer’ because I’ve seen ‘Blade Runner.”
Running is a great metaphor for life. You set a goal, and then you get to work. How well you do is a direct reflection of how hard you work. It’s a mental game, too. There are setbacks along the way, but the true test of a runner is how you overcome and push past them.
I wasn’t a big science fiction aficionado, there were a few films like 2001 or Blade Runner that were favorites of mine, but since I started this series I have gained more respect for the genre and become more of a fan myself.
I’m a great inside and outside runner.
American athletes, especially distance runners, are at a big disadvantage against the rest of the world. We’re expected to live by all the rules, like not being able to coach, but still train and make our own living.
