I’ve brought the traditions from Spain to the United States: spending the afternoons with my husband and my son, enjoying the little things.
When I went to Sundance for ‘Afternoon Delight,’ I came back feeling like I wanted to take my experience that I learned from directing and bring that into a series.
I never felt any pressure to be funny. A lot of the funny stuff I did was more off-the-cuff. I might be bored with an hour-and-a-half until afternoon training and itd be a chance to mess about.
In the cold and snow-rich Silesian winters, there were hour-long rides on Sundays in horse-drawn sleighs to my maternal grandparent’s farm to have lunch and to spend the afternoon. The house was a magnificent 18th-century manor house in the nearby Altgabel with a great hall that was decorated with hunting trophies.
On gym days, I don’t get to my desk until 4 in the afternoon, and everything except bedtime and the appointment with the liquid narcotic is pushed back a bit.
When I’d get out of school in the afternoon, I would go to the golf course, and I just picked the game up. And when I was 13 years old, I could shoot 70 – even-par 71, one over par and then something like that. I just took a liking to the game.
Elton wanted a garden. They were building all afternoon while we were rehearsing. And then they built a fountain for Elton. And he said, I was only joking!
It was a very intense and stressful situation. There was playing in the Johnny-pump (an opened fire hydrant) and the ice-cream man coming around and all of these games that we’d play, and suddenly it would turn just violent and there would be shootings at 12 in the afternoon on any given day.
I’ll do shoes for the lady who lunches, but it would be, like, a really nasty lunch, talking about men. But where I draw the line, what I absolutely won’t do, is the lady who plays bridge in the afternoon!
I think we spend so much of our lives trying to pretend that we know what’s going to happen next. In fact we don’t. To recognize that we don’t know even what will happen this afternoon and yet having the courage to move forward – that’s one meaning of faith.
I spent almost 3 months with Bergman, four hours every afternoon. We sat and went through the whole script. To be honest, most of the time we talked about life and other different things. It was really a wonderful time.
When you see a photograph of a football crowd at a Saturday afternoon game in August 1963, you’ve got 40,000 men in trilbies. That’s paradise, man.
I don’t look at ratings when they come out in the afternoon before the show because I’m focused on that day’s show, but I do see the overall numbers.
Every afternoon, I shut the door of my bedroom to write: Poetry was secret, dangerous, wicked and delicious.
I prefer writing in the mornings, so to that extent I have a routine. I do reading and other things in the afternoon.
I usually sleep ten to eight hours per night. I sometimes also have a nap in the afternoon.
I went to see a children’s matinee at the movie theatre one summer, but at some point they had changed to the grown up movie in the late afternoon, and I ended up seeing this movie called ‘The Bad Seed.’ It just terrified me.
I can bat in the morning, afternoon, evening, night, on ice, desert, wherever and whenever. It is almost nirvana for me. It takes me away from the stresses of life.
Never drink black coffee at lunch; it will keep you awake all afternoon.
I take a nap in the afternoons, and I’m in bed at 9 P.M. It’s a struggle sometimes.
I want to work every day. I don’t work every day. When I finish something, people ask me, ‘You gonna chill for a little while?’ I’m like, ‘No. I chill on Sunday afternoon.’ I need to be engaged.
To me, talk shows are those things during the middle of the afternoon where the underbelly of society is made to look like Middle America.
I remember being mesmerized by ‘Love in the Afternoon,’ with Gary Cooper.
Just like every person who works for Dortmund is a fan of the club, it was the same at Mainz. When I was a player there, we had 800 supporters on rainy Saturday afternoons, and if we died, no one would notice or come to our funeral. But we loved the club, and we have this same feeling at Dortmund.
I’m in my studio at 6 A.M. every day because I work better in the morning. Then in the afternoon, I like to go for a walk. I enjoy going for a perambulation or a constitutional. It’s all very Victorian.
I’ve been on ‘Jay Leno,’ and everyone likes Jay, but being on that show is a really boring afternoon. I sincerely like Jay, but I wouldn’t want his job, because I’d have to interview Kathy Ireland, and there’s nothing there I’d want to know.
I was playing at sixth form – training in the morning and going to the gym in the afternoon. I was doing my studying alongside it; then I’d go to training from eight to 10 at night.
On Saturday afternoons, there was a film, of course, and then we did about four shows between the films. And I would do a tap dance, a little military tap.
I like to be able to go out to dinner once in a while. I like to be able to drive my MG up the McKenzie River on a weekday afternoon. I like to be able to pay my bills on time.
People expect to see white guys, Sunday afternoon, on ‘Face the Nation.’ And people with a direct interest in politics do watch those shows. But not a lot of normal people watch those shows. But, ‘Real Time With Bill Maher,’ it’s unbelievable how many people watch that.
Sunday afternoon is for papers and writing.
Being on ‘Bandstand’ was like getting a Nobel Prize. From 3 o’clock in the afternoon until 5:30, nobody was on the street. They were watching ‘Bandstand.’
My agent and I put out my proposal one Thursday afternoon in August, 1998. Publishers started bidding immediately, and that process progressed for a few days.
What I enjoy most about ‘The Lord of the Rings’ is that extended cut. To be able to sit there on a Sunday afternoon and watch ‘The Lord of the Rings’ from beginning to end is pretty fun.
Among the New Hollanders whom we were thus engaged with, there was one who by his appearance and carriage, as well in the morning as this afternoon, seemed to be the chief of them, and a kind of prince or captain among them.
There are moments when the body is as numinous as words, days that are the good flesh continuing. Such tenderness, those afternoons and evenings, saying blackberry, blackberry, blackberry.
I can’t stand wearing the same clothes all day. It makes me insane. I like to dress for the afternoon and for dinner.
Later, in the afternoon, I read what I did that morning. It’s almost always a surprise. But I can read it rationally; edit, polish, re-write, and think what I might do tomorrow in the early darkness.
I came home every Friday afternoon, riding the six miles on the back of a big mule. I spent Saturday and Sunday washing and ironing and cooking for the children and went back to my country school on Sunday afternoon.
I started going to exhibitions in Switzerland when I was 10 or 11. As a schoolboy, I would go every afternoon to see the long, thin figures of Giacometti.
I spend my afternoons painting and working on my Open Hearts jewelry line for Kay Jewelers. I designed an image of a heart that isn’t completely closed. My mom always told me to live with an open heart – when life gets tough, you should go out and help someone else.
I grew up on the tennis court with lots of other kids. There were like 40 kids all afternoon and I was one of the youngest ones, so I always had to chase everybody to keep up.
The kind of audience that watches ‘Matlock’ is ideal for a lead-in to the affiliates’ newscast in the afternoon. That audience is older.
Kids will keep it real. If I’ve ever had in my life a great anchor, it’s them. They get in your head, ‘don’t get too famous.’ If you think you’re really famous and think you’re really hip, go hang out with your kids for an afternoon. That’s about as earthbound as it’s going to get.
Books are no different from goats! They enjoy an afternoon out on the lawn.
Children love cupcakes and so do I – a good one makes the perfect afternoon pick-me-up.
Shopping for clothes is time consuming, it’s tiring, and it can feel like a waste of an autumn afternoon.
If I produce it, I will stage it as a performance. A small audience will be invited; rehearsals of the sections will be done in the mornings, and those sections will be recorded in the afternoons.
My introduction to cell cycle control was provided by a clear, scholarly and beautiful seminar given by John Gerhart one afternoon in the summer of 1979.
My father was invited to play on a television show when I was 17 or 18 that was an early equivalent of educational television, a Sunday afternoon kind of variety art show.
I exercise all the time, every morning, and then I do music in the afternoon. I walk two to three miles a day and do Pilates twice a week.
As a photographer, God’s light in Southern California is something unlike I’ve ever seen on planet Earth. There’s a beauty about it, especially in the afternoon that is so pretty.
I run in the morning, lift weights in the afternoon, basketball training at night, and then lift weights again at night.
My two favorite things about being a pro player are Sunday afternoons being able to excite many fans and the money because I get to treat my family and friends and myself to nice things.
