This is a ridiculous heat wave we’re in right now, and to contribute, Newt Gingrich said that for the entire month of June, he will stop blowing hot air.
So we take a lot of pride in that. It’s really on us to turn this thing around. I think this last month we’ve done just that. We’ve pointed ourself in the direction that we want to be, and I think we’re starting to head towards that. Right now we’re in a nice rhythm.
When my ‘Scientific American’ arrives every month, I read it cover to cover.
Find $50 a month for savings. No excuses!
Playwrights are like men who have been dining for a month in an Indian restaurant. After eating curry night after night, they deny the existence of asparagus.
The fact that they’re a congressionally chartered group should no more incline people to give to that group than the fact that it’s National Pickle Month should make them eat more pickles.
My thinking was taught to tribes in South Africa like the Zulus and Xhosas. At the time there were about 210 fights breaking out among them every month, but after they listened to my lessons, this fell to just four.
My daughter finished high school the same month I got my master’s degree. I’m glad I didn’t know when I gave birth to her at 21 what it would cost in terms of time, money and sacrifice to bring her to that graduation day.
You cannot see the Grand Canyon in one view, as if it were a changeless spectacle from which a curtain might be lifted, but to see it, you have to toil from month to month through its labyrinths.
When the show started out, it was like all of a sudden we had to do 35 episodes and we had just a month and a half to write them, and it took me a while to realize that I was in charge.
Developmental readings are actually the best part of being an actor for me. I once spent a month doing so many developmental readings at the Roundabout that we all joked that I was an ‘artist in residence’ there. But to me, it’s such a special time to be involved with a new play.
My first month in syndication, I made about $100. I thought it would be exciting if I ever got up to the level where I could pay my rent.
If I had the opportunity to buy the latest movie that’s out that month and watch it on the comfort of my big screen TV, I would pay for that.
A lot of children don’t find forever homes because they’re on that special-needs list, even if it’s because of something as simple as her mother smoked cigarettes for a month, not knowing she was pregnant.
March is Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month. Don’t feel bad if you did not know that. I didn’t, either, until someone recently slapped a picture of a green ribbon and a message wishing me a ‘Happy CP Awareness Month’ on my Facebook page. I always thought March was Women’s History Month.
Public image can change at the drop of a hat. One person can be a national hero and a month later because he wore the wrong colour he’s violently hated so it just all depends.
There were 10 to 12 years where I averaged two to three hours of sleep a night. There were times when I didn’t go to sleep for two days, but I’d usually crash one Sunday a month for 16 to 18 straight hours, and then I’d be rejuvenated.
You don’t choose a party because it’s the flavour of the month. I feel I will be able to work under a political system. I feel if people like me don’t enter politics to bring change, who will?
In my case, I pay a standard premium to participate in the Federal Employees’ Health Benefits Plan for my wife and myself out of each month’s paycheck.
When I heard the news that Steve Jobs had died, my mind flashed back to 1985, when I began my love affair with computers. I was stationed in Moscow for The Associated Press, and I ordered an Apple IIc – by Telex – from a department store in Helsinki, Finland. They express-shipped it to me, a month later, by train.
In the month of December, it was my ultimate mission to find and honor the special people in my cities and provide them with experiences they would never forget.
I was taught to think the next week or month or year will only get better than it is today. So I just keep waiting to see how great it will get!
The first time I met President Obama was 2006 in Baghdad. He was the senator from Illinois; it was a month before he actually ended up declaring. He had to come to Baghdad to kind of check that box, and I was the correspondent for ‘Newsweek’ at the time.
Those things that you just do, if you put that together in a DVD program, let’s say, for $97, to teach people how to do that. Well, if you sold 100 of those a month, that’s $9,700 of income a month just teaching what you already do and know to people who want to learn how to do the same.
When you’re on a football scholarship, you get a stipend that’s supposed to cover your rent and a few incidentals. It was $360 a month. This was the late 1980s, and the NCAA has an interesting rule where you’re not allowed to supplement your income with a part-time job.
I was a freelancer all through my twenties. I did about one story a month and I wanted to write fiction, so the stories that I would do were precursors to ‘Sex and the City.’
What’s funny is that by the time everyone plays the game – you know, we finish it, and then it takes a long time to make copies and ship it and get on the shelves – we probably haven’t worked on it for a month, two months. So, we’ve already taken our break, and then we’re on to the next thing.
These people are headstrong and if they feel the curb loosed but one link they will with bit in the teeth in one month run further out of the career of good order than they will be brought back in three months.
I joined Alcatrazz a month after I recorded ‘Steeler.’ The big difference between Steeler and Alcatrazz is that in Alcatrazz, I wrote the songs. When I went to the Alcatrazz audition, they had no songs and no direction. They also had a questionable drummer.
1 month ago the American people stopped to remember the third anniversary of the beginning of the Iraq war. We thought first and foremost of the selflessness, patriotism and heroism by our troops, our National Guard and Reserves.
A month before the season, I don’t order fries with my club sandwich.
What you have to remember is that baseball isn’t a week or a month but a season – and a season is a long time.
When I met my wife, I was forty-six, and it was love at first sight. Every day, my love grew deeper as I found out about her family values, that her parents were still together, that she wanted kids. So we fell in love, got engaged, got married, and a month later, we were pregnant!
I felt (a) it was a great role and (b) I wanted to stay in town. I wanted to stop going to these four month and five month gigs up in Toronto or Montreal or Vancouver or down in Mexico. I wanted to be around my son, Max. This came along and I was like, ‘I really want to play this guy!’
I’m not able to go in with an act that I use month to month year to year all the time. It’s constantly evolving and changing and that keeps me on my toes but certainly adds to the challenge.
I have a house here in California and come back every month and a half to see my kids. And they come to New York.
Every August, I go away for four weeks to a place in Michigan. I work in the mornings, spend the month in shorts and flip-flops. It gives me time to think like an investor and come back in September for some heavy planning.
Sometimes you do a sound installation, and the first day or two it is very exciting. Then you are hearing this every day for a month, and it becomes like a torture.
The romantic idea of the penniless writer is false. It’s terrible. I hated being in debt. I hated the anxiety of not knowing whether we could pay our rent that month. Thankfully, I had a wife who was very supportive and had faith and shared my madness.
I titled it ‘Alaska’ because the song sort of represents everything that happened in my life surrounding a hiking trip I took for a month in Alaska.
The fight against terrorism will not be over tomorrow or next month, or even next year. The fight will endure for years to come, and as the threat changes, so too must we adapt to these transformations.
I found in Rick Rubin a kindred soul. When I visited his home and looked in his library, I saw he was reading the very same New Age books I had picked up the month before.
Most of the moments of our life – and I calculated, you know, the psychological present is said to be about three seconds long; that means that, you know, in a life there are about 600 million of them; in a month, there are about 600,000 – most of them don’t leave a trace.
You gotta know when it’s your time. You might wake up one day like, ‘Damn, I just feel good,’ but you’ve been feeling like that for a whole month. That’s your season.
I know people who have been without a home for ages, and lots of my friends are sofa surfing because they are in between jobs or saving for degrees and other studies – paying £500 rent every month is just not feasible for them.
We were not rich. We did not go to the Cote d’Azur or skiing. Our only vacation was to the North Sea. I had to pay for my bicycle every month, but we always had food.
160 million-plus people call themselves Christians. They go to church once a month at least. That’s a lot of people.
I was not the kind of a principal player that was so in demand that eight or 10 or 12 scripts came per month.
