I’d rather spend my Sunday doing just about anything other than watching a football game – unless it’s the Super Bowl.
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.
It’s what counts, isn’t it, on the Sunday, rather than pre-season testing. If you lock up, you do a little mistake, it’s nothing, but if you do it on Sunday, you lose a place or you have to box for a flat spot or something like that. It’s a much bigger problem.
You don’t have a lot of transplants in Baltimore. And I think that makes sports mean more to the people who live there. It translates to the passion of the fans and how the stadium reacts on Sunday.
I used to spend hours reading the Sunday papers, but then I had 900 children so I don’t any more.
I go for long walks in Newlands Forest in Cape Town, and I go to the Turkish baths on Sunday mornings.
Sunday, I go to church; I take the day off. I rest.
An American of the present day reading his Sunday newspaper in a state of lazy collapse is one of the most perfect symbols of the triumph of quantity over quality that the world has yet seen.
I would love to play Dot in ‘Sunday in the Park with George.’ It’s one of my dream roles – to play Dot.
I cook a mean Sunday lunch. My idea of Heaven is a lunch outside on a beautifully sunny Sunday afternoon. It’s the time to gather everyone together.
Here’s what I’ve learned about eating healthy when you’re busy: It’s all about preparation. Make your snacks on Sunday, and you will be good to go until Thursday or so.
I was not able to be the front forward of a soccer team – that is a way to make people super happy every Sunday. What I can do is tell stories and try to put my coin in that discussion.
I don’t really get to attend church. That’s definitely one of the challenges. I’m always playing on Sunday, and that’s tough because I really never get to take the sacrament – maybe once every three or four months when I’m home and have a week off.
I remember how inspiring it was to meet players like Bobby Charlton or Bryan Robson when I was a kid. I still remember Clive Allen showing up when I received a trophy for my Sunday league team.
I seem to have this need to belong to some church. I get worried on Sunday mornings.
The Sunday paper is an odd British cultural tradition.
One does not become an atheist out of a desire for hassle-free Sunday mornings. People come to atheism because they have a problem with organized religion – usually a problem they consider to be of moral urgency.
My family prayed a lot, but we didn’t really go to church. On Sunday, my mum and dad used to always tell me to read the Bible. That was important for me growing up, and I still do that every morning. It’s something that is part of my routine, and I do it every day, whether it’s a normal game or a big one.
When I was little, I put on plays for my family at Sunday dinner, and I would direct them and have all my cousins, my brother, and my best friends in it. I was a very imaginative and theatrical child and wasn’t afraid of being in front of a camera. It was like make-believe to me.
You know, I used to say, when people say, ‘How do you think about what to write about in the poems every week?’ And I say, ‘Well, I have to turn it in on Monday, so on Sunday nights I turn the shower to iambic pentameter and it sort of works out that way.’
Final pairing on Sunday in a PGA Tour event? If you can’t get up for that, you better find something else to do.
Sunday is about relaxing and wearing anything comfortable. I love wearing a J. Crew shirt and jeans, which is a treat because I never wear these kinds of clothes during the week.
Europe is no longer a Christian continent; few Europeans attend religious services on Sunday, and the European Union recently refused to refer to Europe’s religious heritage in its fledgling constitution.
I prize something that feels authentic. It’s an undefinable thing, but I know it when I see it, and I think audiences do, too. One of the reasons why ‘Bloody Sunday’ and ‘United 93’ work is because they felt real, felt truthful.
I was sent to boarding school – a grim place. The only good thing the headmaster did for us was every Sunday evening in the winter he would show us films in the chapel. He couldn’t afford a sound projector, so we saw silent films, which you could then still rent from photographic shops.
I have no superstitions. I don’t have to have a Sunday outfit. I don’t have socks or underwear I have to wear.
And it hurts as a player, that you put a lot of hard work in during the week, and at the end of the week, Sunday, when you get on the field, that’s when they acknowledge about the hard work that you put in throughout the week. That’s actually a disappointment.
Casting me as King Arthur was quite bold of ‘Spamalot’s producers, although it has been historically proved Arthur was Asian, and that Sunday trading started with Asians in 11th-century Britain.
As a child, I was deeply religious and went to church every Sunday.
The inspiration for ‘Ai Dil Mere’ happened at 4:30 A.M. on a Sunday.
U2 are a great band; they’ve given us an unbelievable body of work, and all of us musicians owe them at least something. I can honestly say that every time I have played the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado, as soon as my drums are set up, I go into the beat of ‘Sunday Bloody Sunday.’
I smoked, I drank, I did all the kicking my heels up type things, but I went to Mass on Sunday.
Of course I dream to have this perfect man who does not want to change me. And I’m so not marriage material, it’s terrible. But my dream is to have those Sunday mornings, where you’re eating breakfast and reading newspapers with somebody.
Ultimately, if you look at all my films from ‘Bloody Sunday’ on, they’re steeped in a post-9/11 atmosphere. ‘United 93’ is directly about 9/11, of course, but every one of the movies deals with paranoia, mistrust, and fear.
No carbs when I’m not working, so on Saturday and Sunday I don’t eat any carbs ‘cos I’m not burning any, I’m not working out. A high intake of fibre and salads to stay lean.
Some people keep God in a Sunday morning box and say, ‘Hey, I did my religious duty.’ That’s fine, but the scripture says to pray without ceasing. And I think that means all through the day you’re talking to God. Even if it’s in your thoughts.
Sunday, there’s not a lot of structure. I might spend an hour thinking about why I don’t exercise, and feeling very guilty about not exercising. I tried running, over 10 years ago. It didn’t really take.
Liam Hemsworth is my celebrity crush all day long and Chace Crawford any day of the week – twice on Sunday.
Waste Management was based in Chicago, but I lived in Ft. Lauderdale and for 10 years had to commute to work – catch the 5 P.M. Sunday flight to Chicago and the midnight return flight on Friday.
A Sunday morning spent reading the paper together, maybe drinking some mimosas, alone, and talking until noon. That would be pretty amazing. Married couples with kids will understand.
I come from a family of compulsive collectors, and my first memories are really all about collecting. I remember visiting flea markets with my mother or my grandmother – she goes to local ones around Varese, Italy, every Sunday when she’s at home.
I never manage to get to bed early on Sunday night but this doesn’t matter, as I don’t know one level of exhaustion from another.
On Sunday morning, I’m not nervous… I can’t wait to tell what God wants me to say.
Every Sunday after church we would go over to my grandparents’ house and spend time with them and they had a pool in their backyard, and I would like eat as fast as I could just so I could be the first one in the pool. And then I would be the last one out.
I enjoy sports. I get a real joy from playing sports but I don’t look for those movies. Oliver Stone wanted to know if I would do Any Given Sunday and it just didn’t appeal to me.
When we went to mass that first Sunday after moving to a new place, that was where we felt at home and were able to say, ‘well, home is anywhere, it doesn’t matter where we live because we have the faith.’
I’d have to say I’m most proud of my mentoring camp that I do in Dallas every year for one hundred boys from single-parent homes. I was raised by a mother who was a Sunday school teacher and a father who worked hard. Together they taught me to give back.
I love being at home now, improving my cooking. I’ve got a really bad memory, so my first attempts were a disaster – I’d forget what ingredients to put in. But I do a lasagna that’s a crowd-pleaser, and a good lemon drizzle cake, which I take to my mom’s for the Sunday roast to fatten the family up.
My mom cooked for us, and on the weekend, we always had Sunday dinner. My father liked to bake.
I will continue to work as hard as I can to make this organization proud. Every time I step on the field I will give everything I have and I will leave everything I have on the field every single Sunday.
I work out four days a week in the off-season, and in the warm, running weather months, I do five days. A push/pull regime of weightlifting, cycling, and the occasional Saturday or Sunday run with my oldest son, even if it’s cold out.
