Combat stress isn’t the only problem for soldiers isolated in Iraq – there are family issues, re-integration issues when soldiers go home on leave, loneliness.
When I’m training, and I’m in games, and challenges or things aren’t going my way, I literally am so happy to go home to the family I’m creating.
I once joked in a book that there are three things you can’t do in life. You can’t beat the phone company, you can’t make a waiter see you until he is ready to see you, and you can’t go home again. Since the spring of 1995, I have been quietly, even gamely, reassessing point number three.
I have great empathy for all the contestants that come on ‘Top Chef,’ whether they go home right away or they make it to the finish line. It’s a very vulnerable position they put themselves in and I feel for them.
Like most athletes, I like to go home and relax. I try not to bring the game home with me. I might play some video games that are, let’s just say, for mature audiences only. And I might get some flak for this, but I like to watch ‘Seinfeld.’ Sometimes, laughter is the best medicine.
I take pride in the fact that a guy and a gal can come to my show, have a couple of beers and still go home with a little money in their pockets.
It’s simple: You get a part. You play a part. You play it well. You do your work and you go home. And what is wonderful about movies is that once they’re done, they belong to the people. Once you make it, it’s what they see. That’s where my head is at.
I love my hockey, but if you can do that and go home and just be a dad and husband, then you have the best of both worlds.
When I get home off a long week, I go to the gym, have a great workout, and then I go home and order a giant taco pizza with a pint of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream.
I think families are so great, because when you go home, no matter what you’ve accomplished in your life, you still are the person you were in sixth grade to them. You know, it never really changes.
We can’t take our ball and go home when the consequences mean a weaker America.
When I go home, it is quite difficult. Being at Manchester United means it is a huge thing, and when I walk down the street, most people recognize me.
I’m an actor… I do a job and I go home. Why are you interested in me? You don’t ask a truck driver about his job.
Really, who thinks of living in California as a Canadian kid? You just don’t. Now when I go home to Canada to play a game, I am like, ‘This weather here sucks.’ I used to love it as a kid, but now it’s like, ‘Wow let’s get back to California now.’
I can’t tell you how disheartening it is to be told to go home because the director is filming you from behind and you don’t have the right kind of body. As an actress, to be told that… Well, it’s just a very odd set of circumstances.
I like to feel the butterflies in the stomach, I like to go home and have a restless night and wonder how I’m going to be able to accomplish this feat, get jittery. That hunger and those butterflies in the stomach are very essential for all creative people.
I guess the way to keep a grip on reality is just to take breaks in between albums like most normal bands do. Go home and be a person and hang out with your friends. Do separate things and get back to earth and write songs and go out there again.
You go to something like the Golden Globes, and it’s the most glamorous place you could ever be, but then you go home and you’re still like, ‘Urgh, this dress is too tight, I wanna take off these shoes and put on my pyjamas.’ At the end of the night all the glamour goes away and you’re just a human.
That’s the best part and why you play the game – to get to the playoffs and to get to those big games, especially the ones where you have to come through or you go home. There’s so much pressure, but as an athlete you want to thrive under that pressure because that separates the great from good players.
When we first dated, I would not go home with Hef, so the only way that he could see me was by taking me out. We went out quite a bit.
What’s your routine after attending a networking event or meal? If your answer is, ‘I go home,’ you’re probably going to miss out on opportunities.
