Because I’m shooting ‘The New Normal’ and ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ at the same time, so my schedule is double. I leave one show and go and shoot the other. The cameras are with me for, like, every day of my life. So I’m extremely tired.
It was a double jolt for me. The jolt of seeing my father slowly die, the jolt of knowing that I was diabetic and could meet the same fate if I didn’t take care of myself.
A lot of times getting double- or triple-teamed, like triangle-and-two, it just made me be more of an all-around player.
At times you get the sense that if the batsman is playing with the tailender then he will surely try to run a double.
Launching a ground war against Iran would require hundreds of thousands of troops for a ‘regime change followed by nation-building’ operation, as we attempted in Iraq. Iran has a much more modern military, more than double Iraq’s population, and almost four times the landmass.
For my wife Mary Corliss and me, ‘Colbert’ has been destination viewing. Even in the early years, we never took the show’s excellence for granted, agreeing that someday we’d look back on the double whammy of ‘The Daily Show’ and ‘The Colbert Report’ as the golden age of TV’s singeing singing satire.
There is nothing in nature wherein there is not good and evil; everything moveth and liveth in this double impulse, working or operation, be it what it will.

I wanted to do a show about a family that is absolutely black. Because as Du Bois has shown, we do have to live a double consciousness every day in the world. We have to walk our path and walk the mainstream path, and there’s never really been a show that’s talked about what that’s like.
When I’m writing a novel, I’m dealing with a double life. I live in the present at the same time that I live in the past with my characters. It is this that makes a novelist so eccentric and unpleasant.

Everybody calls it a purge, but when people move out of the state, they don’t need to be on our voting rolls if they’re living somewhere else. That’s how you get double voting.
If you come in like a typical modern drummer who is used to playing only with tricks and double kick and, like, big, big, big, fast rolls, but you can’t play a swinging shuffle, then you can’t play in Ghost whatsoever.
I’m an athlete; I’ve got an ego when stunt doubles have to come in. Not an ego like that, but when it comes to physical stuff, if I didn’t have to have a stunt double, I would always probably do it myself unless the producers were jumping in and stopping me.
My father worked in the Post Office. A lot of double shifts. All his friends were in the same situation – truck drivers, taxi cab drivers, grocery clerks. Blue collar guys punching the clock and working long, hard hours. The thought that sustained them was the one at the center of the American dream.
You shouldn’t worry who gets the funny line, just that you’re being funny as a double act. With us, it flips all the time. There’s no real straight man or funny man.
I got a call from somebody who used to be the president of Little Persons of America. She got called from some producers who wanted someone of a certain size in the John Hughes film ‘Baby’s Day Out.’ So that was my big break, as the stunt double of a nine-month-old.
I’m not looking to double my money with one golden opportunity.
When I kiss a girl for a part, people think it’s sexy. But if two guys kiss, suddenly there’s a backlash. It’s a double standard.

Computers double their performance every month.
I personally think ‘Power’ is much more similar to ‘The Sopranos’ in that it deals with a character who is leading a double life and wants to become legitimate.

I do some of my stunts for the things I have learned. But if it is for something I have never learned, then I use a double.

I love double cheeseburgers.
Working is bad enough in the winter, but in the summer it can become completely intolerable. Stuck in airless offices, every fibre of our being seems to cry out for freedom. We’re reminded of being stuck in double maths while the birds sing outside.
We went to – I guess it was a legitimate boiler room, and I sat in front of this guy who literally was on the phone with two people at once. They call it double fisting.
There’s kind of a double standard: if a musician decides they want to act, everybody falls over themselves. But if you’re an actor and you have a band, everyone’s, ‘Ugh, disgusting! It’s a vanity project.’
I don’t know how many times I’ve been 114 yards from the hole and made double bogey. Well, I hit a great drive, but it doesn’t matter. It’s only the next shot that matters.
I have been part of some fantastic shows and played great characters, including a double role in ‘Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahi’ and a negative one in ‘Sanjivani’ because I was bored of playing positive characters.
Sitting there clapping and smiling… it’s difficult. You’re like, ‘Don’t worry about it, you just double faulted, you just played a really dumb point. Keep positive.’ Then more clapping. That would annoy me as a player.
I kind of missed out on those years when a lot of my friends did big backpacking trips around Europe and that sort of thing. So to be able to travel and see parts of the world on the job is kind of a double whammy.
In my 20s, I was going round seeing agents who were patronising because I was fat and a girl, which was a double whammy. I knew what it was to feel out-of-the-loop.
As a rule, bond funds will not double your money overnight.
The truth is I don’t really like the world of plastic money: the great chip-and-pin double act of modern payment. I prefer cash. I don’t like the idea of some distant clerk nodding each time I make a card purchase and quietly adding to my ‘consumer profile.’ I’m anti all cards.
People who have theater or sketch-comedy backgrounds seem to be more, you know, our speed. Like Amy Poehler and Will Arnett – we double date.
I’m not a pop song lyric writer. I can’t just focus on one simple meaning or even a double entendre.
I would kill to be on ‘Dexter,’ and I would double kill to be on ‘True Blood.’ I would pay them to let me come be a vampire or a vampire victim. No joke!
Most of us remember adolescence as a kind of double negative: no longer allowed to be children, we are not yet capable of being adults.
My biggest tip is this… treat bread like chocolate. You wouldn’t have a chocolate bar in the morning and then a double chocolate bar at lunch and then some chocolate before dinner. I was essentially eating a loaf of bread a day. And that doesn’t work for me.
Thai food became one of my favorite types of food, it’s so delicious, and when you finish a meal it’s a double whammy; it tasted great and was pretty healthy.

One might almost reckon mathematically that, having undergone the double composition of public opinion and of the author, their history reaches us at third hand and is thus separated by two stages from the original fact.
We have no desire to permanently rule over millions of Palestinians, who double their numbers every generation. Israel, which wishes to be an exemplary democracy, will not be able to bear such a reality over time. The Disengagement Plan presents the possibility of opening a gate to a different reality.
