There are no war stories. I ended up a bombardier, but I never got overseas. And it wasn’t because I was playing baseball either. It was just a series of things that went on.
That’s why we play. That’s why we train. That’s why we do everything in the offseason. It is to win a World Series.
My life is just a series of mistakes and regrets of varying degrees.
I had been acting since I was seven years old, but I had a combination of things happen at about the same time. ‘Austin Powers’ came out on DVD, I got a series regular gig on ‘Buffy’ and ‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ came out.
Life is a series of commas, not periods.
We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.
The emitters of the spectral series are without exception single atoms, not compounds of atoms.
There was a series called ‘Game of Thrones’ which was very popular here in the United States, a post-Tolkien kind of thing. It was garbage, yet very addictive garbage – because there’s lots of violence, all the women take their clothes off all the time, and it’s kind of fun.
I most enjoyed doing ‘Whites,’ a show BBC2 cancelled after one series. It had some beautiful, witty, charming scripts and was one of the most positive ensemble pieces I’ve done. I thought the end result was really special. I’m still confused about why it didn’t last longer.
I was always a really big fan of R. L. Stine and the ‘Goosebumps’ T.V. series and the ‘Goosebumps’ books.
The World Series is played in my doubtless too-nostalgic imagination in some kind of autumn afternoon light, and seeing it exclusively in the bitter chill of midnight breaks the spell of even the best of games.
I feel like my life has been a series of miracles. I was in every sense a lost cause.
When you’re not the lead on a series, you work intermittently, even if you’re in every episode.
I’ve been in just about every situation as a player and coach and manager. I’ve been in the playoffs, World Series, and I know how to get there.
So it took me five years because in the interim I have been doing a lot of personal appearances and movies and some television series that went into the plumbing and I stopped writing for a while.
I tend to not watch things that are current. And then if everybody swears it’s amazing then I’ll like watch the whole series in a weekend.
This World Boxing Super Series has been a breath of fresh air.
I tell all the rookies that come into our series and all the young drivers they can come ask me anything at any time, and we’ll give them the straight shoot.
I’ve had wonderfully lucrative offers to do another network series. I could do that again and have a very luscious retirement.
Well, the idea of God as a supreme being means that he is simply like us, writ large, and just bigger and better, the end product of the series; whereas this divine personality that we meet in the Bible was, for centuries, regarded simply as a symbol of a greater transcendence that lay beyond it.
I don’t think there was ever a dish that changed my life. I certainly remember a constant series of things that I had for the first time and thought, ‘Where has this been all my life?’ One was brie. I mean, oh my God! One was my first soft-shell crabs.
Web series are a way forward. It is a space where creative minds can express themselves without the fear of censor board.
My goal all along has just been to work and support myself. I’ve been really lucky to walk away from the ‘Twilight’ series unscathed. Somebody asked me recently what it’s like to be a star. I thought that was the strangest question. If you saw my day-to-day life, the word ‘star’ just doesn’t apply.
Life it is not just a series of calculations and a sum total of statistics, it’s about experience, it’s about participation, it is something more complex and more interesting than what is obvious.
Series finales have that responsibility to leave you feeling good about entire series. You want to feel like the viewer closes the book satisfied. And if you strike out on the finale it skews how you feel about the entire series.
People try to read a lot into what ‘digital’ means. It’s just another platform. There are very attractive things that happen if you invest in content – movies, TV production, acquired series, specialty genres, digital distribution of our magazines, sports rights.
On its surface, the HBO documentary series ‘Hard Knocks,’ about the New York Jets’ training camp, resembles another HBO series, ‘The Sopranos.’ Both star the stout patriarch of a New Jersey ‘family’ preoccupied with food, intimidation, and florid profanity.
When I did ‘Racing Demon’ by David Hare, I worked with Paul Giamatti, who had stacks of books in his dressing room. I was offstage a lot, so I would go read in his room. He was reading a four-part series on the Byzantine Empire by Alexander A. Vasiliev. I read two of those during the run of the play.
I love a bit of political drama; ‘The West Wing’ is probably my favourite television series of all time.
Life is a series of collisions with the future; it is not the sum of what we have been, but what we yearn to be.
I remember devouring the entire Hardy Boys series over one summer, enthralled by their bravery and cleverness.
I’d love to do a whole series of stories and have them collected into books.
When you finish a series like ‘Ugly Betty,’ there are so many voices around you telling you what you should be doing next and what would be good for your future, sometimes you can’t hear yourself. I’ve gotten pretty good at tuning everyone else out. Now it’s just me; what pleases me creatively.
I want to get into movies, not just TV series.
I’ve worked with Len Wiseman before, on the ‘Underworld’ series, in which I was a vampire. The first two of those were his first two films. And I admire him beyond measure. I think he’s tremendous, as a man and as a director.
In ‘W,’ I did not change a word in the script. I have never spoken this much in other series. I just stick to whatever is written. I always carry the script with me and read it before I sleep.
Personality is an unbroken series of successful gestures.
A block chain is a series of blocks. Each block is a series of computations done by computers all over the world using serious cryptography in a way that’s very hard to undo.
I’m glad that it didn’t take as long to get Shepard off the ground as it’s taken this series. I’d begun to think the Congo would be ahead of us in the space race before Whispering Smith ever got on the air.
It’s always hard to wrap up a series. The longer I spend with the characters, the more they become like friends.
Together with script writers Sid Green and Dick Hills, we worked on the comedy ideas for this series.
I graduated from university with a degree in architecture and then ended up doing a series of internships with different firms. And once I was in an office environment, I realized that at school what I was doing was 98 percent creative, 2 percent makework, but in the real world, it was the other way around.
My life has been a whole series of accidents, some of them happy, some not.
I feel sometimes like a book tour is a slow series of humiliations and that if you’re strong you’ll come out of it OK.
The old 7 Series, the E38, was an elegant car, an evolution of the classic BMW look. But it wasn’t penetrating the luxury market as we desired. It just didn’t have the presence to be noticed.
Sometimes when you’ve had a long series of disappointing things happen, you can get into the very bad habit of just expecting more of what you’ve already had.
I think that by following the route that I have tried to outline, one gets into a much more interesting and productive series of questions than those that result from saying simply that Chinese don’t like milk because they don’t like milk.
You know this old style of American family series? Well, I sit there and cry.
I didn’t come from any money, but even when I was on ‘Big Love’ – people think you’re on a series and you’re making bank.
You know, it’s scary when you sign onto a pilot of a series because, as much as you want the series to go, you also want it to be a character that you’d be interested in playing for a long time.
The whole New Deal was in a sense just a series of public options, some more optional than others, that offered government as an alternative to the often-flawed private market.
I’ve always found the second book in a series is the hardest to write.
Like many of you, I’ve always been slightly obsessed with vampires, dating back to the prime-time series ‘Dark Shadows,’ which I followed avidly as a kid.
I think it’s just a lot more pressure to make the scenes work when you’re doing a film, because when you’re doing a series you feel like, I have so many scenes, so many episodes, so if I don’t get it exactly right this time, I have another scene later. You feel less pressure.
You can binge a TV series or watch a reality show, and they’re not innocent. They take a lot of room in your brain, and you don’t have any space left for your own thoughts. They give you a scripted reality. It’s an ideological tool.
There needs to be a planned series of speeches, interviews, etc., over the next two or three months by administration officials and other public figures talking about President Ford, what he is trying to do and what he has accomplished.
