Your Friday and Saturday nights are sacred. When a new guy asks for a prime-time date early on, suggest drinks and make him the warm-up.
When I was a kid growing up in the States in the late ’70s and early ’80s, as soon as ‘Dallas’ came on on a Friday night on CBS at 9 P.M., we stopped everything from that moment on as a family.
To be named as one of the finalists for the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame’s Class of 2010 on Friday was a special moment for me. As a player, it’s something that you dream about. It’s an honor that you have to earn based on your career and the respect from your peers around you.
Never have I got on better with my flatmates than when our landlord installed a dodgy deadlock and locked us out of our flat for a full Friday evening.
I love a challenge. So when I did ‘Friday,’ I didn’t want to do another comedy back-to-back. With ‘Set It Off,’ that was a little different from ‘The Negotiator’ and ‘The Italian Job.’ So for me, it’s all about challenge. It’s all about challenge and about just learning.
I remember driving the tractor on our farm, and Tim McGraw would be on the radio. I’d find myself walking out of class, singing his songs. And then Tim ended up playing my father in ‘Friday Night Lights.’ It was surreal.
When I broadcast my first NFL game during the 1989 season, I had absolutely no idea what to study or how to study. NBC provided me with a handful of newspaper articles, we watched some film at the team facility on Friday before the game, and we interviewed some players and coaches.
On weekends, we slow it down. Friday nights, we bust out a movie, and there is popcorn all over the place.
The Good Friday Agreement and the basic rights and entitlements of citizens that are enshrined within it must be defended and actively promoted by London and Dublin.
I definitely have a relationship with God for myself, and yes I grew up that way, and I choose to keep the relationship that way. It’s real; that’s my balance. Sundays, I was in church, and Monday through Friday, I was with the knuckleheads having a little fun.
My second husband believed I had such a fickle attitude to friendship that each Friday he would update the list of my ‘Top Ten’ friends in the manner of a Top Of The Pops chart countdown.
On a Friday night in 1983, I was in a taxi in New York riding home from dinner with friends. A drunk driver ran a red light and hit the cab, and I was thrown toward the glass partition. I tried to duck, but my face hit the glass, and the impact fractured my cheekbone, my eye socket, my collarbone and several ribs.
In terms of ‘American Horror Story’ and ‘Nashville,’ what attracted me to those, and ‘Friday Night Lights,’ for that matter, is that they felt like something innovative and something that we hadn’t seen before. As an actor, that’s exciting.
If my parents or Wayne’s parents are around and can watch the kids and give us a bit of spare time, then on a Friday night I like to pamper myself and relax.
After the fifth show as Hogan, my radio appearances had shriveled down to two a week Monday and Friday. One afternoon I stood before the camera, and I was so tired I couldn’t remember a line. The next morning I said goodbye to radio or a while.
As I recovered at Walter Reed, I worried about the soldiers who pulled me out of my helicopter that Friday afternoon. Would they make it back okay? And what about all the other soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen who were also putting their lives on the line every day?
People may think I’m crazy, but one of the ways I like to wind down my Friday is to get some of our household chores done, whether it’s cleaning or doing a big food shop, so the house is all nice for the weekend.
I love tuning into Radio 1 on a Friday night after training and hearing the new stuff.
I played with a band in Austin when I was doing ‘Friday Night Lights.’ It was a blast.
I will tell you this much. God himself comes down with his ribs from Heaven, and he distributes them to the TGI Friday’s. And that’s how they get them.
I’m under pressure with all my films. And the reason we are always under pressure is because it’s only in our profession that months and even years of hard work is judged by the first show on Friday.
My dad would pick me up every other Friday at 6 o’clock and drop me off every Sunday at 6 o’clock, and I remember those last couple hours, like around 4 o’clock, my dad would get kind of sad because he knew that he was about to not see me for two more weeks.
On Friday night, if you want to go out on a date with your wife or your girlfriend, nothing on Netflix competes with that, right? Because you’re getting out; that’s what you’re doing. If you don’t want to put your shoes on, nothing in the cinema competes with the worst thing on Netflix.
It is simply unacceptable for people to sneak into this country illegally on Thursday, obtain a government-issued I.D. on Friday, head for the welfare office on Monday, and cast a vote on Tuesday.
I want to be the Letterman of metal. I want five nights a week, Monday to Friday, 11 to 12, live. I always shoot for the moon.
I believe that it is not worth it to train from Monday to Friday just to have 20 minutes on the pitch or sit on the bench on Saturday.
In ‘Friday Night Lights,’ the relationship between the coach and his wife, that marriage was something that you couldn’t really understand until you actually saw it exist on film.
I’d literally rather hang out at the T.G.I. Friday’s in New Jersey than tool around at a place that sells $40 cheeseburgers.
Literally, over a weekend, Friday to Monday, I went from a C.I.A. officer to changing diapers and putting the kid in a Bjorn and going to the playground and hanging out with all the nannies. I was the only dad – everyone kind of gave me strange looks because of our sexist society.
I feel like maybe I’m part of that generation that became more of a gamer than a video consumer. It’s always been something I’ve done with my spare time. If I had three hours on a Friday night, I’m not out partying. I’m probably playing video games.
I like to think I’m like the guy who goes to the office Christmas party Friday night, insults some people, but still has his job Monday morning.
I think that what is happening now in terms of the Brexit vote does represent a serious undermining of the Good Friday Agreement.
For most Americans, Friday afternoons are filled with positive anticipation of the weekend. In Washington, it’s where government officials dump stories they want to bury. Good news gets dropped on Monday so bureaucrats can talk about it all week.
I have ‘Friday.’ I have ‘Dinner For Schmucks.’ And I have ‘John Wick.’ There are others too I can’t think of now, but those are my go-to movies.
I didn’t want to go out on dates on Friday and Saturday night, because I wanted to go to the Opry with my dad. I learned a lot being in the heart of the music business and made some of my best friends there.
I still want a curry on a Friday night and maybe a steak and kidney pudding at the weekend but not all the time.
I’m half Puerto Rican and every Friday we have rice and beans and chicken in my house – so that’s like a very Latin staple. It’s just so comforting. I look forward to every single Friday because I just can’t wait for my rice and beans and chicken.
We’ve had to pay to play. We’ve had to borrow kit. We’ve had to train on a Friday night. Maybe a lot of boys, given that opportunity, would slip away, whereas we’ve had the mentality to go, ‘I really want this. I’m going to show that I can do this.’
On a Friday night, I like to go out because my friends, who have been working normal hours, just want to let go after a stressful week at work.
Sadly, in my work on shows like ‘Eat Well For Less?’ I know that people ARE misinformed about what’s on their plate. Many would be shocked to discover their Friday fish and chips is close to 1,400 calories.
I really try to get eight hours of sleep, and I really try not to go out after a Tuesday or Friday night show because I know I have a two-show day the following day.
A perfect weekend in London has to start on Friday night, by going to the theatre, the Donmar or the National. It’s a cliche for an actor, but I enjoy going as much as possible.
‘Friday I’m in Love’ sounds like the best possible summer song.
I had great luck with Tim McGraw twice in ‘Friday Night Lights’ and ‘The Kingdom.’ I love finding off-beat casting and finding someone you know in one way and you reinvent them in another way. I like doing that as a director.
To me, country music’s about life. It’s about Monday through Friday. It’s the blue-collar, 40-hour week, songs about life. It used to have more of a sound, but I think the heart of that’s still the same. It’s still American music.
Composers today get a TV script on Friday and have to record on Tuesday. It’s just dreadful to impose on gifted talent and expect decent music under these conditions.
We’re trying to tell a very full story of ‘Nashville’ and these characters in Nashville, and I’m really hopeful that we’re going to be able to do something as innovative as ‘American Horror Story’ and ‘Friday Night Lights.’ And I think so far, we’re on the right path for that.
I like to be home on a Friday night. I don’t go out. I don’t go to clubs. It’s not my thing. I sit at home with my glass of wine and watch hours of reality TV.
