When I graduated from college, I got a 9-to-5 traditional job doing social media for a company, and I’d spend all day long fighting with the system of getting things approved and the fact that social media has such a quick turnaround. Things had to be very reactive and instant.
One day, we were going to the studio for John’s recording session, and as we were leaving to get to the studio, in the elevator, all of a sudden, John leaned over and gave me a kiss. He said, ‘I’ve been waiting to do this all day.’ I said, ‘What are you talking about?’ What happened was, he’d liked me.
The film world is a crazy place to be. You sit around all day waiting for the phone to ring. Are people talking about you or aren’t they?
Writing can make you feel a bit psychotic. You create a world, and you’re sitting inside it all day long, talking to people who are not really there.
I was actually shooting ‘Warm Bodies’ on the day that ’50/50′ came out, which I don’t recommend to other filmmakers because I was sort of a wreck. Actually, it was good for me, because I had work to do, so I couldn’t obsess all day and be checking how ’50/50′ was doing!
I’ve seen guys sit the whole day doing nothing, and I hate it when people are unproductive. I don’t like a guy who sits on the couch all day.
Bosses should sanction the nap rather than expect workers to power on all day without repose. They might even find that workers’ happiness – or what management types refer to as ’employee satisfaction results’ – might improve.
Personally, I’d love to see more social media firms develop business models that aren’t reliant on advertising. If you’re a social media firm selling ads, your goal is to get people to interrupt what they’re doing all day long so they come and stare at your service as much as possible.
Being an author is fun. It’s a great job, because I can stay up as late as I want, and if I feel like taking the day off, I do it. Plus, I get to make up silly stories and draw pictures all day.
I made a good living being a tough guy on TV, but I’d rather laugh and joke all day long than try to be a tough guy.
I am an unrepentant tweetaholic. I use the communications service all day long to discover news, interesting tidbits and, of course, to flack the work of our tech and media news site, Re/code.
If you constantly draw attention to yourself, spend all day distracting everyone, and cost taxpayers millions of dollars, the perfect job for you isn’t the military – it’s the President of the United States.
Kombucha is great for digestion – I drink it at the beginning of the day and sip on it all day.
I used to skip breakfast, but eating gets my metabolism going, so I burn more calories all day.
If I can keep it light in between scenes, then that helps me dig down further than if I try and stay at that constant place all day. That’s just me. Every actor’s got their thing. But that’s what I do.
Imagine a music business where all the music press talked about, all day long, was cover bands of old rock and pop groups. Beatles cover bands, Rolling Stones cover bands, The Who cover bands, Led Zeppelin cover bands. Cover bands, cover bands, everywhere you go.
You can’t get anything done hanging out all day long.
So many older people, they just sit around all day long and they don’t get any exercise. Their muscles atrophy, and they lose their strength, their energy and vitality by inactivity.
Radio in the U.K. is so formulaic. You’ve got commercial stations who play the same 20 songs all day.
Hard audiences tend to be when it’s all men. It’s when businesses have dos where they’re at conferences all day then book a comedian for the evening. They’re men of a certain age – basically middle-aged, balding, 50 to 60 years old and I just know I can’t make these people laugh hysterically.
I find it’s only when something is trying to come through I really practice. And then, I don’t know how many hours. It’s all day.
If you’re sitting in front of the TV, you can’t have ice cream. But if you’re running around all day, then yeah, you can.
When I’m training for ‘True Blood,’ I don’t eat any sugar except for some fruit here and there. So it’s no sugar, no bread, no real carbs all day.
Before I got into grad school, I used to work as a deck hand on these ferry boats in San Francisco, and they did day tours. It wasn’t a bad job. I made decent money. But you were sitting down all day, tying up the boat, wiping it down. For some guys, that’s a dream job, but for me it was kind of torture.
When you’re around some of the greatest minds in boxing, and you don’t take something from it, you’re a fool. I would just sit and listen to Don King talk all day, and everyone would be like, ‘He talks too much.’ I would tell them, ‘No, there’s wisdom in these conversations.’
In America, everyone writes but no one reads. Everyone’s writing all day long – sending emails, tweets, text messages; they all think they’re James Cameron’s Avatar, performing in some video game for which they make up the script.
I think the American people are bombarded with information from all directions, all day long.
I was doing, in my eyes, nothing at Manchester City. You can train all day but it comes down to match situations when you go out on loan to lower league clubs.
The Baja is a survival race, and there is no break, but you’re not up on the wheel all day in the Baja like you are in Winston Cup or at Indy.
If you spend all day on horseback, and you hop off, you walk around like you still have a horse between your legs. And it affects your shoulders. They fall.
Some people are ok with doing nothing all day after they retire, but then some people if they had nothing to do would go mad and start banging their heads against a wall.
My mother has dementia, and certain people have a short fuse with my mother and the way she is, because shes on a loop, and she repeats certain things constantly all day.
The kind of job where you come in and work 9 to 5, and where someone tells you what to do all day is becoming scarcer and scarcer.
With comedies, it’s been very gratifying to be able to clock in, laugh all day, and then clock out.
I love soccer. That’s all I ever watch. I’ll watch it all day if I can. But I’m too bloody old to play now.
Some people are on their darn computers all day long.
My dad was a congressman, and he taught me at a very early age, ‘They voted for me, they view me as theirs, and I am.’ Our family’s phone in Memphis was always listed. It rang all day and all night.
Working in a salon, you look at trends all day long. You’re looking at color all the time, what new products are coming out. You’re a part of the fashion industry, especially if you’re working in a higher-end salon.
At least through most of the 1960s, I basically lived in a man’s world, hardly speaking to a woman all day except to the secretaries. But I was almost totally unaware of myself as an oddity and had no comprehension of the difficulties faced by working women in our organization and elsewhere.
The deal is such that when I begin writing something, I open a door, and those characters come in, and then they won’t leave, and so I live with them every day, all day. They are there with me when I’m driving my kids to school, when I’m standing in line at the grocery store.
When I lament and darken over my diminishments, I accomplish nothing. It’s better to sit at the window all day, pleased to watch birds, barns, and flowers.
I was trained as a fine artist. I went to a progressive public school in Pennsylvania that developed these talents, but I was never able to apply to a decent college because I had no math, no science – I was allowed to just paint all day and write.
There are a lot of actors who don’t like reality stars ’cause they feel these people aren’t accomplished. They haven’t done this or that, but they are savvy. They have found a way to make it work. I could dissect your career all day long, but I’m focused on my own career.
If I have a free day, sometimes I’m just reading scripts all day. They pile up.
When you work in the White House you talk to the White House staff all day, so you’re talking to the guy who handles the congressional liaison and the guy who’s handling domestic politics and the guy who’s handling the American economy and so forth.
I love Las Vegas. I like that Las Vegas has everything. Everything and anything you want to do, you can do in Las Vegas. You can pretty much do it all day and all night if you want to.
I honestly eat chocolate all day long. I do realize how blessed I am to be able to eat what I want and not have to live in the gym.
I love clothes, and yes, we go out, but it’s not like I’m walking around all day in a negligee with fluffy mules.
I can’t say I’m a full-on gamer, since, basically, I just don’t have time for it. I know nowadays, gaming can be a lot like social media. People just stay on it all day long. Like they’re logged into the Matrix. But yeah, I enjoy it. When I get the time.
I tell my boyfriend that… we should get a ranch so we can just adopt all the dogs that need homes, and they can just run around all day.
The obesity problem among children is very serious. When advertising budgets are big and business can corrupt the way we live so that it becomes the norm to snack all day – and if you are never hungry you are never going to feel like eating a healthy meal – that can’t be right.
