If the girl is good looking and talented, and for some reason the film doesn’t work, she gets a second chance. But if subsequent films don’t work, she gets branded as an ‘iron leg.’ The whole thing gets negative.

I wrote a poem on my leg once, on the skin.
Leg day is my favorite day. You can’t have a thorough leg workout without feeling completely spent.

To go straight to ‘Scandal’ and get to play the larger-than-life guy who has the page-long rants and gets drilled in the leg with blood flying everywhere, it was a blast. It’s really been a nice counterpoint after the first season of ‘The Carrie Diaries.’

A double leg in MMA is completely different than what you would do in wrestling because the posture’s different. You’re standing upright as opposed to bent over; you’re slipping a punch as a opposed to grabbing a guy’s elbow and doing a traditional elbow pull or slide-by in wrestling.
Lucy brought with her an image of our human ancestors that you don’t get when you find a jaw or an arm bone or a leg bone. Here was 40 percent of a single skeleton.

Instead of hazarding our future on the dirty fuels of the past, let’s invest in clean power that can drive this country forward. Let’s cut energy waste, make our economy the world’s most efficient, and give our workers a leg up in the global marketplace.

Black people don’t talk about diabetes that much. I never knew anything. I thought everyone had an uncle with a leg cut off!

I’d hope that when Channel 4 started, ‘The Last Leg’ was the kind of show it wanted to be putting out. I think they’re really proud of it.

My brother once lit his leg on fire. And after, when the fire was finally out, his leg was covered in third-degree burns. And we made the decision – or my parents did – not to take him to the hospital but to treat that at home with a salve my mother made of comfrey and lobelia.
