I mean we grew up in a TB bus and I became a TB doctor.
I went to bed on the night of Brexit, of that vote for leaving the E.U., and I said to everyone it will be a 70/30: nobody wants to leave the E.U. I woke up on the bus in Glastonbury, and everybody had their heads in their hands. They could not believe it. I could not believe it.
Regardless of Bill Clinton’s politics or personal life, he grew up in obscurity and was elected to the presidency – twice. Don’t take that away from him, because then you take it away from every other kid in America sitting out there in a school bus with a big dream.
I love public transportation! Who wants to sit in a car and be angry at other drivers for eight hours? I’d rather sit on a bus or train and read a book.
When I was playing for Nacional in Montevideo, the players who lived outside the city would be given money by the club to get there and back on the bus.
Looking back on my career, some of the hardest times – eight people at a show, 12 people on a bus – were some of the most fun.
Women of the 60s revolutionised fashion for us. They took the hem lines up so we could feel young, and free, and do things like run for a bus.
I originally envisioned myself doing something with the suffix ‘ology’ at the end of it, like marine biology or entomology. But after I started to do some acting gigs, I thought it wasn’t a bad thing… I said to myself, ‘I might as well keep riding this bus until the wheels fall off.’
In a small club you have to do everything: negotiate with the bus company, do all the contracts, all the press work, all the coaching work. It was really exhausting. There was very little time for other experiences and to see how other coaches work and how people work in different countries.
Why blow money on a tour bus when you could get your mom a nice dress?
I wish I could teleport and cut out the travelling in between gigs. I want the luxury of the shows without the painful bits stuck on a tour bus.
I just work a lot. I just remember recording in a hotel room in Malaysia. I work on planes, I work on buses. A lot of times when I’m backstage in the hotel or on the bus, I would have new ideas.
Now, the people that helped get Obama elected, who think Israel is a good idea, need to wake up and tell him they’re our friends, let’s preserve them. And then it would happen. Because that’s the only kind of thing he responds to. But he throws our friends under the bus and rewards our enemies.
Once I’m at the arena with the guys in the dressing room, and in the bus, and on the plane, I’m a player. And I sit in the back with the players and I play cards and try to take their money.
To be honest my first memories are getting to know players. I remember being on the bus probably like 3, 4, 5 years old, and my dad would always say go sit with the players in the back.
Really, anyone can learn how to fly. If you can drive a bus, you can fly an airplane.
The last job I applied for was to be a bus driver for the Chicago Transit Authority in 1957.
I used to get off the bus, and there’d be a crowd around, you know, and I was thinking, ‘God, I hope this is not for me.’ And it normally was, and it was because someone said something to my sister, and the first she says is, ‘Well, I’ll get my brother.’
It’s always disconcerting when somebody comes over to you on the bus and says, ‘I know who you are.’
I did a job. I completed my Matric and my Bachelors. I did a marketing job. I worked as a bus hostess. I did a lot of jobs; I struggled a lot. I got out from there. The first thing I did when I got out of Darul Aman was my Matric. Then I did my Bachelors privately; I kept doing it.
I always said in my mind I wanted to be an All-Star and show four-year guys in the NBA can be good players as opposed to just one-and-done guys. If I left after my freshman year, I wouldn’t have gotten drafted, I probably couldn’t deal with D-League and travel on the bus.
Whenever we are en route to a game on the bus I am always watching the goals of Ronaldo, Adriano, and Neymar to get some inspiration. Then, when I am on the pitch, I try to replicate what they do.
I was born on an even keel. Family lore says I never cried, even at birth. I felt at ease on earth, in the right place. And like many children, I took comfort in life’s regularity: Every few days it rained, the school bus came and went, and my parents were rooted in their union.
I’d always thought pop stars had to be really sophisticated and grown-up. So I was enchanted by Bjork’s childlikeness. I’d never heard a voice like hers, with all its character and glottal pronunciations, or music recorded with background noises, like the sound of the city or a bus pulling up.
Is that your final answer? Here in New York garbage men, bus drivers, taxi cab drivers, bus drivers, whoever, you know, people just yell it out to me. So that was a lot of fun.
What the Shin Bet did in the Bus 300 affair is no less than declaring a revolt. They took the methods of manipulation, disinformation, threats, blackmail, etc. and instead of using them against the enemy, they used these tactics against their own side.
I’m one of six kids, and the eight of us lived for over a decade in either a bus or a boat.
The classical actor in England makes roughly the equivalent of a bus driver.
At a certain point, you have to take the rearview mirrors off the bus and focus forward, and that’s what we’ve sought to do.
Living on the road can make you feel quite displaced. Cooking a meal on the tour bus for everyone makes it home.
If I’m on an away game or on my way to the stadium or on a bus ride, I listen to more mellow music. Laid-back, chill, like The Weeknd, Drake, something like that.
I couldn’t see why a black man wasn’t allowed to drink out of the same water fountain or sit in the same bus or go to the same schools as a white guy.
You don’t throw your quarterback under the bus, the guy who makes you who you are.
I took a Chinatown bus to New York to enroll in the International Culinary Center’s pastry program.
I am used to looking good. In a way, if I thought I looked like the back end of a bus, I probably wouldn’t have done ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ and gone out there in public.
Growing up in the ’70s, if you were a girl or woman, a man could tell you what to do – if you were sitting on the bus: ‘Get up,’ ‘Move,’ whatever. You did what you were told.
I hate ‘Rolling Stone’ – because I loved it so much. I had the ‘Cheap Tricks’ cover and the Clash cover on my wall for years, and I just hate what happened to it. It just became the smarmy grad student that sits next to you on the bus.
I’m very straightforward on immigration. The bus is full. We haven’t got enough energy, we haven’t got enough electricity, we haven’t got enough of a health service.
I legitimately would like to drive a yellow bus when I’m older so I’ve actually thought about – I want to be either a crossing guard or drive a yellow bus. Drive the kids to school or let them cross to school so, you know, that’s something I’m excited about. I’m serious about that. I think that will be great.
You meet somebody on a bus or something, and they say, ‘Thank you for the World Cup; it was so good to see,’ and stuff like this – it’s funny.
I got my own tour bus and every show has been lit.
My mum said I used to sing on the bus. I was about five and would simply sit, staring out of the window, singing to myself. When I got to the end of the song and everyone gave me a round of applause, it scared me because I was in my own little world, but I obviously loved singing even then.
My favorite singer is Canton Jones, a gospel hip-hop artist – when I’m on the bus going to a game, I listen to him in my own little world, singing and dancing; he gets me ready to play every time.
If you don’t score, what happens? You sulk on the bus the whole way back.
On the other hand, all kinds of adventurous schemes to add security checkpoints to subway and bus systems have been circulating since the London attacks. This is nonsense. No one can guaranty 100 percent security.
I’ve got to write about my character every day. I’ve got to find out where he lives, what bus he catches to school, and stuff like that. You’ve got to know every little thing about him so when you do it, it feels natural.
I am blessed that I get to do this thing I love to do, and if I wasn’t doing this, I’d probably be working as Starbucks. So the fact that I get to travel around on a tour bus all around the country is pretty awesome.
I took a while to fall in love with Val d’Isere. It was November 1985 and, keen to delay getting a ‘serious job’ after university, I had signed up for a season as a chalet girl. What struck me first back then, as I rolled into town on the Bladon Lines bus, was the sheer ugliness of the place.
I had a scholarship to Stanford because I won three California Speech tournaments. Before I started Stanford, I told my mother I wanted to take a bus into Hollywood and see if I could get an agent.
When the Mac ad campaign was in full swing, I quickened my pace as I went past certain bus stops. My wife told me that she loyally took a piece of chewing gum off my nose once.
Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.
I’ve been kind of thrown under the bus a few times in my career.
