I love ‘True Blood.’ I love ‘The Walking Dead.’ Those are fantastic series.
‘Shantaram’ is the second in the series of a quartet of novels that I have planned about my life but is the first to be written. The third book is a sequel to ‘Shantaram,’ the first a prequel.
I’ve never been in a ‘Twitter fight,’ though I’ve witnessed my fair share. I do enjoy vigorous and informed debate, but the benefit is lost when the exchange becomes a series of petty ad hominem attacks. I don’t see much value in it.
Making the best of things is… a damn poor way of dealing with them. My whole life has been a series of escapes from that quicksand.
Life is a series of steps. Things are done gradually. Once in a while there is a giant step, but most of the time we are taking small, seemingly insignificant steps on the stairway of life.
If somebody plans to carry out a series of murders… then this is obviously an evil and pre-meditated attack and in that case, there could be a deterrent effect.
Just because you have star power and a huge marketing budget, you can see from some professional web series, it doesn’t equal views.
Life is a series of steps. Things are done gradually. Once in a while there is a giant step, but most of the time we are taking small, seemingly insignificant steps on the stairway of life.
I have begun to think of life as a series of ripples widening out from an original center.
Doctor Who is like any long-running series in that the cast tend to look to the star to set the general tone. Rehearsals and filming could be a lot of fun.
To me, there is something superbly symbolic in the fact that an astronaut, sent up as assistant to a series of computers, found that he worked more accurately and more intelligently than they. Inside the capsule, man is still in charge.
I did six series for the BBC and that was enough. I’ve been writing for ten years, which is more challenging artistically.
God wants us to know that life is a series of beginnings, not endings. Just as graduations are not terminations, but commencements. Creation is an ongoing process, and when we create a perfect world where love and compassion are shared by all, suffering will cease.
Over the past 20 years, I have presented many science programmes on BBC1. But none is, I think, more socially important, or of more human interest, than this ongoing series of ‘Child of Our Time.’
We developed during the 1990s a series of budget process rules that helped us bring to heel these deficits, diminishing every year and moving the budget so into surplus.
In the beginning of the year 1665, I found the method of approximating series and the rule for reducing any dignity of any binomial into such a series.
People think of politicians having true power, but that’s less and less true. After all, they are often constrained or being edged into a corner by a whole series of contingencies.
The present moment is changing so fast that we often do not notice its existence at all. Every moment of mind is like a series of pictures passing through a projector. Some of the pictures come from sense impressions. Others come from memories of past experiences or from fantasies of the future.
Getting married and then having children just centered me and grounded my values. It was like a whole new world. It started happening in New York with a little play called Cruise Control, where I relaxed, and then I kept getting work in Hollywood till this series happened.
A pure mathematical series would be one in which each term is derived from the preceding term by a rule.
Exploring an ever-expanding world of diverse cultures and beliefs is at the very heart of the ‘Dragonships’ series.
People ask if I regret not winning a Stanley Cup, but winning the series against the Soviet Union was the best. It was the greatest experience of my hockey career by far.
I’ve written some standalone novels, but a book series allows fans in. There’s much more intense involvement.

I would have loved to have a role in the HBO series ‘Deadwood.’ It was Shakespeare in the Old West.
Perfect is not on the menu. Nobody is going to be your ideal candidate. You can’t dream somebody up out of nothing that’s going to be the perfect candidate, so you do have to pick between a series of bad choices.
The emotions triggered by fiction are very real. When Charles Dickens wrote about the death of Little Nell in the 1840s, people wept – and I’m sure that the death of characters in J.K. Rowling’s ‘Harry Potter’ series led to similar tears.
It’s considered a coup to become a lead on a kind of cutting-edge television series. I mean, that’s a plus for your feature film career and for your career in general. There are no walls anymore between the two.
I think that ‘The Shield’ was a phenomenal series finale.
You’re playing a game, whether it’s Little League or Game 7 of the Word Series. It’s impossible to do well unless you’re having a good time. People talk about pressure. Yeah, there’s pressure. But I just look at it as fun.
I’m not ready for another series. I have fun doing other kinds of things.
Doesn’t anybody ever want to talk about anything else besides ‘Star Trek?’ There were 79 episodes of the series; there were 55 different writers. I was only one of them.

Game 7 of a Championship Series sucks the emotion out of a player, particularly if you have to stroll home a loser when it’s over.
I used to work in ‘Big Brother’ in the third series, I was a logger, which was the worst of all jobs, you had to sit and watch what happens and type it into a computer.
For many people, Mrs. Brown has come from the middle of nowhere. But Mrs. Brown was first written for radio. I wrote it for a radio series in 1992. It was a five-minute piece for radio, and it’s been absolutely astonishing.
To me, a staircase looks like a series of dark and light horizontal stripes, which is exactly how you’d draw a staircase. So I know how the image is going to look on the page.
Together with script writers Sid Green and Dick Hills, we worked on the comedy ideas for this series.
Life is a series of punches. It presents a lot of challenges. It presents a lot of hardship, but the people that are able to take those punches and able to move forward are the ones that really do have a lot of success and have a lot of joy in their life and have a lot of stories to tell, too.
When all is said and done, cheap gas is an illusion, because our reliance on gas creates a whole series of costs that aren’t factored in to the pump price – among them congestion, pollution, and increased risk of accidents.
I did a Clean & Clear commercial. I did a series of them. I used to be the Clean & Clear girl!
Research sometimes feels like an ongoing TV series in which some amazing revelations have already been made, but there are still plenty of cliff-hangers and unresolved plotlines that you want to see resolved. But unlike TV, we have to do the work ourselves to figure out what happens next.

I kind of came to the conclusion after I did finally get married that love and relationships are just a series of horrific losses with hopefully one win.
My all-time favorite movie ever is definitely the ‘Twilight’ series.
Everything this series is being built up to be – I think it’s going to live up to those expectations.
Listen, a cable series is a beautiful thing because there’s such amazing writing happening on television, and it’s a schedule that allows you to do a play or two. There’s a reason everybody wants that job!

I can take any series of numbers and turn it into music, from Bach to bebop, Herbie Hancock to hip-hop.
When you start lifting weights in the offseason in like November, you’re like, ‘Ah, I’m going to get this thing up so I can get to the World Series.’
Moving to New York made all the difference in my creating this new series with Ellie Hatcher. I love Portland, and it’s always going to be one of my favorite cities, but it was getting to the point where, after I’d moved to New York, I couldn’t write as specifically about Portland any more.
