It is often when night looks darkest, it is often before the fever breaks that one senses the gathering momentum for change, when one feels that resurrection of hope in the midst of despair and apathy.

For me, I need to fully immerse myself in a script to the point where I’m literally locking myself away for weeks at a time and I just write it. So I can write twelve to fifteen hours in a day, with breaks in between, obviously, but I need to just sort of live within the world of the script.
Sarah Michelle Gellar’s made some really good choices. She’s had some bad breaks. She goes with the independent, interesting young filmmakers and then they get slammed, like ‘Southland Tales.’ I’m proud of what she’s trying to do. It’s hard.
One thing I really like about ‘Lucha’ is it breaks traditions. It’s established it’s own identity and a world where the character can be darker, multilayered, even supernatural at times.
The American people want us to stop spending. And so let’s just give them some certainty. Let’s extend the tax – the existing tax cuts. And then let’s give some more tax breaks to small businesses and large. And then maybe the American people will have some confidence.

Many of us feel as though we are overloaded and overwhelmed by all the things that are happening, and we can’t stop work for even five minutes or we’ll fall behind: the idea that if we don’t take breaks, we’re being more productive.
Among video game developers, it’s called ‘crunch’: a sudden spike in work hours, as many as 20 a day, that can last for days or weeks on end.

I’m terrible at taking breaks.

For evening workouts, I work out two body parts; a big muscle and a small, like, say, the chest and the triceps. I lift crazy weights and take no breaks while I’m at it.

My father, who was a cabinetmaker, told me, ‘Wood has a grain and if you go into the grain, you have beauty. If you go against it, you have splinters – it breaks.’ And I took that as my view of life. You have to follow the grain – to be sensitive to the direction of life.
The ownership of computers in the home is far less than the statistics show, because usually when the computer breaks down once, that is the end of it for a long, long time. They do not have the money or incentive to get the computer repaired.
The proper care and rearing of a child is integral to their development. It breaks my heart to know that some children’s futures are being destroyed within their own homes.
The Arab world is erupting, which is extraordinary, and to see it happen is like watching rings spreading on a pool – it goes out; it varies so much. The spontaneity is wonderful, but very often, if it’s not well organized, it breaks up, and it peters out.
The dirty little secret is that the pool man, who’s making $30,000 a year, is subsidizing the million-dollar mortgage for the family whose pool he cleans. No wonder people want to get rid of tax breaks for corporate jets.
I really wanted to give back to the youth – especially abused or underprivileged kids. Just hearing their stories breaks your heart. So that’s who I wanted to give back to.
I’m just interested in people on the edges. I feel an affinity for people who haven’t had the best breaks in society. I’m always on their side. I find them more human, maybe. What I want to do more than anything is acknowledge their existence.
A lot of children remember seeing cartoons, ‘Pinocchio’ or ‘Bambi’ or something that breaks their heart. I remember seeing ‘The Blue Angel’ and it breaking my heart. It was the first time I realised there was an adult world – that adults could damage each other or destroy each other emotionally.
When something steps in from the work you are doing and breaks into your personal life… you feel kind of vulnerable.
When hardships come into your life it breaks you for a while, but when it is done with you evolve into a new person.

I take good pride in the way I release off the line and coming out of my breaks.
When you play to an audience, you come away energized. It’s the promo that really breaks an artist. Some lad sitting on a box trying to create a drum sound in a dry little studio. Everyone goes, ‘Great – okay, now on with my day.’ You go back to the bus, and you weep.
Obviously, the anti-ERA people are tickled about my ordeal because it proves that the ERA breaks up families. When they point out that feminism is a dangerous thing, I just say marriage is pretty precarious too.

Every fighter has one fight that makes or breaks him.
He that cannot forgive others breaks the bridge over which he must pass himself; for every man has need to be forgiven.

A president who breaks the law is a threat to the very structure of our government.
States are looking for low-cost solutions that will enable better communication, while avoiding the danger in which the chain of command breaks down in emergencies. We do not want everyone talking to everyone else all the time.
