My senior year was crazy. We were defending champions, we were on national TV just about every weekend, and we were winning. Teams always brought their best when they went up against us, and we always matched it.
Food plays a large part in our weekend, but on a Friday evening, I’ll make us something simple for tea. I might have a wee glass of wine.
I’ve seen all the Batman movies in the theater opening weekend. I was a big Batman fan, definitely.
Sunday evenings often feel like the weekend is over before it’s even begun.
In the summer we shoot ‘Murdoch’ and it’s 12 hours days or longer for the light. When I get home it’s eat and sleep. There’s no time for a workout, though maybe I can squeeze in a ride on the weekend.
I played football for a United XI against Newcastle recently, and then did a show with the Mondays the weekend after. Man, my legs! My groin! I really struggled through that gig. I’m not as young as I used to be.
I spent a weekend in the White House with President Clinton, back in ’99, I guess. We played golf and just hung out and talked on many subjects. I saw him several times subsequently in L.A. He’s the smartest man I ever met, a great politician. Everybody was star struck around him.
I grew up in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, with my parents and sisters, but my family would drive every weekend to Hammonton, where both my grandparents lived and where my parents were raised.
Good old-fashioned, puritanical work guilt is, for me, a better colleague than any Muse. If I reach my weekly word target by Friday afternoon, then the weekend is guilt-free.
Now it’s all about the word of mouth, and watching a series on Netflix. That’s the way people actually consume this stuff now, instead of waiting for a DVD release you’re not really sure you want to buy. And I think it’s fantastic, because then I can watch the shows that I missed, over a weekend. I love doing that.
In college wrestling we had to make weight every weekend, so it’s not bad at all. I get it off easily.
My father is my best friend. He’s my idol and my boss. We work side by side and spend every weekend together.
I think of myself as a serious professor who, during the weekend, writes novels.
So many of my friends and family will go to Palm Springs as their weekend getaway destination, but when I need a break from Los Angeles, I’ll head to Joshua Tree instead. There’s something so magical about the energy of the Mojave Desert.
I was writing blogs before work, then I was writing at work, and then I started writing books on the weekend because you just have that sort of energy in your 20s; it’s wonderful.
I like doing things where I can get dirty, work with my hands, and use power tools. Last weekend, I did some grouting.
If you want to know whether soccer is big in America, pick a weekend, go to any park in the land, and pay attention. We’re there. We’ve always been.
I still work on it almost every day in the gym. You have to know your body and that also means knowing when it’s time to rest. Sometimes the coach will manage me and give me a day off so that I’m right for the weekend.
I tried snowboarding at 14, and I absolutely fell in love with it. I snowboarded every day off I had, every weekend I had off of school, every holiday we had off from school, and it became a huge part of my life, not just what I love to do, but really just kind of who I was.
If you find yourself waiting for the weekend to approach, then it means that you are not happy for at least five days a week.
We have a Mercedes Viano, which is a sort of posh people carrier. I told my wife I bought it for the kids, but the real reason is that I can put my dirt bikes and a mattress in the back, then get out of London for the weekend.
American women often fall into the trap of, ‘Oh, these are my weekend clothes. These are my work clothes. This is what I wear at night.’ It’s so old-fashioned.
When I traveled professionally in Europe, I would inevitably spend a weekend at the Hotel Costes around the corner from the Place Vendome in Paris.
On the RFactor model that comes with the ‘Pro-Sim,’ everything is balanced and measured. If you go up on the rear ride height, for example, it changes the airflow and the downforce of the car. You learn by trying different things, which gives you a better idea when you’re on a race weekend.
Miami’s great. I love going there for a weekend of fun.
We are all football players and we are here to do our best. You want to work hard in training and we will see what happens at a weekend.
I owe the public a good performance, the best I can give. We really bust our chops on ‘CHiPs’ but when I go home and get a weekend off, I want to spend it quietly, with my lady.
I gauge success in years, not weeks. The weekend box-office approach to book launches is short sighted and encourages crappy books.
Never fly to the U.S. the day before Thanksgiving or the weekend after because every airport is guaranteed to be crammed to bursting with people in transit to, or from, their home town.
There are so many screenwriters with incredible stories to tell, so I hope there will be some kind of shift in the business where very few types of movies are now made by the studios. There needs to be different budgets for different audiences; not everything having to be a huge opening weekend.
I am part of a circuit called 24 Hours of LeMons, where it’s a sort of riff on 24 Hours of Le Mans. It’s a poor man’s weekend warrior racer event.
For most Americans, Friday afternoons are filled with positive anticipation of the weekend. In Washington, it’s where government officials dump stories they want to bury. Good news gets dropped on Monday so bureaucrats can talk about it all week.
We used to go cycling as a family every weekend. I played basketball, cricket, badminton, and was half-decent at them.
I enjoy staying home with friends more than going out. The other night, for example, my girlfriends and I stayed in listening to some ’90s rap – my favorite kind. We were in the Hamptons and made it an all-Biggie weekend, all of his albums on repeat. I loved it.
I don’t look at my emails on the weekend or after 6 o’clock in the day.
Watching my little 18 month old confidently waddle around his weekend exploring the world, I realized that one of the things that’s so joyful about being around little one’s is that they haven’t absorbed all of our cultural programming yet.
Coldplay’s ‘Hymn for the Weekend’ video featuring Beyonce is already caught in a heated conversation about cultural appreciation of Indian religion and culture versus cultural appropriation of that culture for the western gaze.
The Porsche was just a vehicle to get to another place. I used it to change people’s perceptions of me. I had grown up really middle class. USC was filled with elitists, richies who would go skiing every weekend. So I pretended like I was part of that world – to be accepted.
In many competitive worlds like luxury, things are done behind closed doors and with secrecy, so one day I had a eureka moment: for one weekend we show everything, full transparency, forget about business or commerce and showcase our work.
The last thing I want my child to see is Dad running around in the middle of the pack. That would really upset me. And that would upset him. I would be embarrassed to take him to school with kids saying, ‘Hey, how’d your dad do this weekend?’ ‘Well, he finished fifth or sixth’.
I tend to not watch things that are current. And then if everybody swears it’s amazing then I’ll like watch the whole series in a weekend.
There is no such thing as a weekend for me when I’m at home on my ranch in Oregon.
One of the big changes in the Congress since I first came to Washington is that all of these folks go home every weekend. They used to play golf together; their families got to know each other, go to dinner at each other’s homes at weekends – and these would be people who were political adversaries.
Box office is one of the strongest tools we have toward preserving our ability to make our movies. We really can make a difference by purchasing a ticket each opening weekend to a movie made by a woman, even if you don’t like the movie or the filmmaker and even if you don’t see the film.
Growing up on, say, the Upper East Side, you’re so isolated. If you go to the Hamptons every weekend, you never talk to a construction worker, and the construction worker would never talk to you.
I do 280 episodes of TV a year, write 15 recipes for the magazine, and publish an annual book. With all of that, we try to get one weekend a month with Isaboo at our home in the Adirondacks to relax and recharge.
As soon as I got rich, it was mimosas every morning. I was taking my friends to Six Flags every weekend. We were flying to Hawaii; we did whatever we wanted.
Why do we say ‘Have a great weekend?’ That’s just a spell. You’re just going – I have no control over your weekend. But words matter. They change our interior world. Have a great weekend.
When we moved to Europe when I was a teenager, I really did not want to go. I was happy in my school, with my friends, but looking back on it, it was the best experience I’ve ever had. We traveled every weekend. I experienced incredible new cultures, museums, cities, and it really opened up my eyes.
The Midland community is huge into softball. They have a lot of competitive men’s teams. We played at a beautiful stadium, and our games would be packed every weekend. I’m pretty sure people have my signature on softballs and they don’t even know. Because we would just sign so many autographs all of the time.
