When we lose one we love, our bitterest tears are called forth by the memory of hours when we loved not enough.
Living is a sickness to which sleep provides relief every sixteen hours. It’s a palliative. The remedy is death.
As you get older, it’s harder to maintain your weight and to fly through the air for those routines. It’s also the lifestyle; you train seven to eight hours a day, five to six days a week.
To get on a show where you’re acting day in and day out for many, many hours – 15-16 hours sometimes – it hones your endurance, your ability to memorize, your ability to follow your instincts, because you don’t have time to fret about your choices afterward.

The actual process of filmmaking, the many hours out of your life- it is very slow and boring. I’m not interested in that now unless an opportunity was provided for me.
I come from a town in Washington state that might not be too familiar to Clevelanders called Chelan. It’s really beautiful. It’s about two-and-a-half hours east of Seattle and two-and-a-half hours west of Spokane. It’s right in the middle of the state.
My iPhone has changed my life – I spend hours taking photos of the sidewalk as I walk down the street. I like the casualness, that it’s low-resolution.

I was quiet, a loner. I was one of those children where, if you put me in a room and gave me some crayons and a pencils, you wouldn’t hear from me for nine straight hours. And I was always drawing racing cars and rockets and spaceships and planes, things that were very fast that would take me away.
The thing that would most improve my life is 27 hours in a day. I could meet all my deadlines.

The hours we pass with happy prospects in view are more pleasing than those crowded with fruition.
When you use the word ‘filibuster,’ most of us in America – and I count myself among them – envision it as the ability to hold the floor on rare occasions to speak at length and make your point emphatically and even delay progress by taking hours.

Enter with the torch in the stadium. 80,000 people screaming. I was waiting downstairs for the start for 10 hours; I was so tired with the torch. I give the torch to the combined ski cross country that they win gold in Lillehammer in 1994.

One good analogy is worth three hours discussion.
I have a secret project which adds four hours every day to the 24 hours we have. There’s a bit of time travel involved.

Warwick Castle, built of the very centuries, cannot be expected to alter with time’s ‘brief hours and weeks’ – at least, with so few of them as fall to one poor mortal’s lot. From visit to visit, I find it as unchanged as the multiplication table.
I’m a big fan of soups and stews because you can throw everything in a slow cooker and leave it there for hours. They taste great in containers, too, because they sit in the fridge, and the flavors meld overnight.
The beauty standards had nothing to do with me in Mexico. It was such a bizarre, dire time for my hair. I was living in a small town where there was not any semblance of an African community.
