I watch the Premier League every weekend. I think it’s fantastic. One thing you notice is that the teams considered small are capable of surprising the likes of Chelsea, Manchester United and City.
If someone says, hey, you know, this long weekend, let’s go skydiving – I would say, no, are you nuts? I’d just as soon sit down and have a cup of tea.
The first Vampire Weekend record was the first full-length album that I produced.
I think summer has become a venue for TV like it hasn’t been in years past, especially on Sunday nights. I know that when I’m winding down at the end of the weekend, just a really great TV show or movie is exactly what the doctor ordered.
When I first came into money, I bought six or seven homes. One weekend I went to Miami and bought an apartment and a mansion several blocks from each other, which was not that bright!
I went to professional men’s soccer games, the old North American soccer league at that time, and I used to be a ticket holder with my family and family friends. We would go every weekend and I thought it was great, but I just thought of it as recreation, as family fun.
The reason they don’t make movies for adults and for people which are the largest bulge of the population is because they are not usually going to the movie the first weekend. They take a while to learn about it, probably word of mouth. It takes a lot of money to release a picture.
I walked out of ‘Harry and the Hendersons.’ Harry bugged me; I don’t know. Yeah, it’s weird because I think Sasquatches are great, but not then. Maybe not that weekend – I don’t know. I don’t know what it was.
In 1967, London Weekend Television asked me to head up their sports coverage. I got to work with guys like Brian Moore and Dickie Davies. We were the first ones to come up with the idea of the pundits’ panel. Although, since I was one of the pundits, it’s debatable how good an idea that was.
Most people have come to know the time that John Lennon and I spent together as The Lost Weekend. I am always surprised by how many people are under the impression that our time together lasted only a single weekend.
Every weekend I go to the guitar bar in Hoboken and do a jam session.
Since I finished in football Ive had no sport in my life, no football. Ive always been geared towards something for the weekend, always had competition.
People see you for 90 minutes a week, they don’t see the all the effort and time that goes into the weekend.
I never turn on the news over the weekend, short of a nuclear detonation somewhere. I just don’t. I don’t learn anything from it anymore.
My mom told me, every weekend, always stay positive no matter what the circumstances. Stuff’s gonna go down. It’s not gonna be your race. Media is gonna take the bad before the good.
I didn’t have this feeling that I should be a leading actor in the cinema. And I wouldn’t want the responsibility of the opening weekend.
We set up one rule in our house, which is, ‘Guests of guests cannot bring guests.’ That rule was required because that happened one weekend, and we finally said, ‘Okay, you know what? That’s a little too much.’
For the readers out there, if your girlfriend says she’s having a girls’ weekend, do not show up with a bottle of rose. No one wants to see your face there.
I was terrified about putting out ‘Weekend.’
My ‘Big Bang Theory’ costar Johnny Galecki went off the grid. He bought a huge ranch and goes there every weekend. He keeps telling me to do the same thing, but I don’t know if I’m that committed. The Valley is as far off the grid as I’m going to go.
I would really want all my films to make money. But this weekend calculation is the most dangerous thing because, based on the amount collected in the first weekend, they start declaring the film a hit or a flop. It can’t be.
To supply people for ages in camps makes no sense… you have to rebuild that cabana that they rent out to tourists on the weekend. They need help getting their fields repaired and their boats repaired.
Movies are not about the weekend that they’re released, and in the grand scheme of things, that’s probably the most unimportant time of a film’s life.
I eat as much as the next girl, but I work my butt of in the gym every morning! The key is moderation. I splurge on the weekend. A big bowl of pasta and a delicious slice of cake for dessert are my favorites.
Instead of traveling on a weekend, begin your trip on a Tuesday or Wednesday, which are often the cheapest days to fly. Being flexible with timing can help with savings.
I’ll fight every weekend – hell yeah.
I have to get used to international management. The players will go back to their clubs, they will all be playing at the weekend, they will all be thinking about other things.
But it was this tough little character part that I was playing, a very funny little guy that I invented over a weekend, because I realized I was not contributing to the humor of this thing. And I had to do something.
If I’m at home for the weekend – and that is almost never – I tend to get twitchy at about eight o’clock in the evening because my body clock is timed to go on stage. I don’t know what to do with myself.
I don’t care if I am doing music: my son comes with me every weekend. If I’m on the West Coast, he’ll come fly and be with me. If I’m on the East Coast, I get my son every weekend. It doesn’t matter where I’m at – show, no show, whatever. Break or no break. I have my son every summer and every weekend while he’s in school.
When you’re young, you should live out every weekend. Even if you look like a scarecrow, you just gotta go!
I grew up in Ajegunle, which is like a ghetto and it was very difficult there. When it would get to the weekend, everybody was excited because they wanted to watch Man United play.
I have been known to hang out and party back in the day. I had a weekend that lasted a few years.
Stop doing things that waste time. Don’t replace time with your family or things that you need to do. I needed to put together two fantasy teams this weekend because that’s something I enjoy, but I did stop playing Nintendo Wii for hours on end.
So many large movies come to you with a huge marketing campaign and it’s like you have to see this movie this weekend, otherwise you’ll be culturally bankrupt and can’t converse with your friends.
I got to Nashville on Labor Day weekend in 1972. And the Grand Ole Opry is still there, the Country Music Hall of Fame is still there. And the roots of country music are still there. It’s where the authenticity and the empowering force lies.
One thing I won’t be doing on a weekend is shopping. I just don’t like it, and I haven’t bought an article of clothing for a very long time. I usually just take wardrobe from shows I’m on. It’s much easier.
When I wanted to go away to college in Toronto, my dad said, ‘You can’t go.’ When I got to Toronto, I bought a couch, and my dad cried for the whole weekend because, as my mum told me, ‘Now you have furniture; he knows you are never coming back.’
My favorite thing of all time is a New York City weekend when there’s a blizzard. Everything gets really quiet, and everyone goes to the movies and the park.
