Flacco sucks. I played him two years in a row. He sucks.
In real life, T. J. Miller is one of my best friends, and I’ll maybe see him for two or three days in a row, and then I won’t see him for four months. That’s just how our lives are.

Death Row is the same every day – breakfast at 3 A.M., lunch at 10 A.M., dinner at 3 P.M.
My first ‘SNL’ episode was with Michael Phelps and Lil Wayne. And if you go back and watch the monologue – it was supposed to feature Barack Obama, but we couldn’t get him – it was with William Shatner. But if you watch it, Guy Fieri is sitting in the front row.
I wanted to be consistent with my exercise, so I committed to working out for 30 days in a row, no matter what.
It takes stamina to get up like an athlete every single night, seven to eight performances a week, 20 weeks in a row.

I want the dude in the top row to feel like he’s down there on the front row in a club.
We have now under President Obama’s leadership had 29 months in a row of private sector job growth. That stretch of positive private sector job growth hasn’t happened since 2005. We still have a long way to go, but we are moving in the right direction.

You can’t manufacture the feeling of being in a small crowd and connecting on every single level to the very last person in the very last row in the back. I think when you evolve into a headlining act and things get bigger, the intimacy and some of that energy gets lost a little bit.
I was born at Rotten Row in Glasgow and brought up in Loch Lomond near a small place called Gartocharn. And it’s a bit like anyone: where you’re brought up, you have an irresistible attraction to that place; it defines who you are.

May I share with you my earliest memory of a political row? It was with my mother, about the Queen – classic Freudian stuff, shrinks would say. I was eight, and refusing to watch the Queen’s Christmas Day broadcast.
I was Obi-Wan multiple years in a row. Alec Guinness’ Obi-Wan. I was a Dalmatian once because I loved ‘101 Dalmatians,’ and I think I was a Care Bear once and maybe a Spartan cheerleader from the ‘SNL’ skit. I’m terrible with Halloween, because I come up with these elaborate costumes and never follow through.
I went to sleep away camp seven years in a row. I was such a pro.
I’ve been blessed enough to be on a great team, gone to the divisional round five years in a row or whatever it was. That’s special. Not everybody gets an opportunity to do that.
Birthdays are a reward for having shown up 365 days in a row. It’s like getting a badge for attendance.
If it’s well written and well directed and you’ve got good actors to work with, acting is easy. But making sure all the ducks are in a row is the hard part. It’s very rare.

To win four games in a row at any point in the season for any team in the Premier League is a great achievement.

Curiously enough, I was one of the first to have some say in Hollywood. By sheer accident, I had four successes in a row in the early 30’s and, although I was still in my 20’s, I demanded and received approval of cast, story and director. I don’t know how I got away with it, but I did!
I started kinda late with wrestling in high school, and I wasn’t doing so well – I lost my first five matches in a row, and my little brother said ‘wear this chain for good luck… ‘ and told me it might intimidate some of my opponents. Sure enough, when I wore the chain I went all the way to the regional finals.
I had starred in more than 30 successful films, six in a row directed by Cecil B. De Mille.
Basically, when I went to school in Sri Lanka from age five onward, the classes there were sometimes sorted into a hierarchy of your skin tone. So the fairer-skinned kids sat at the front row, and the darker-skinned kids sat at the back by the poor ones who played out in the street all day long.
The way I look at tricks is if I really have my mind set on one, I’m going to learn it until I can do it 10 or 20 times in a row. I want to perfect it.

I’m quite into fitness, and I have a fantastic personal trainer who knows me, knows my body, knows when to push me, and knows when not to push me. She doesn’t make me do 20 burpees in a row and instead focuses on strengthening my core, telling me we need to focus on making me into ‘a tall giraffe’!
I used to row as a junior for Scotland but I was never massive, I was always tall and rangey.

People don’t want to hear the same song 12 times in a row on an album.
During the ten years I lived in the U.K., I frequently attended an Anglican church just outside of London. I enjoyed the energetic singing and the thoughtful homilies. And yet, I found it easy to be a pew warmer, a consumer, a back row critic.
