I’ve never written anything that hasn’t been in my mind for a long time – seven or eight years.
I had a sister who died many years ago, and I believe that she protects me from the sky. She was eight years old. It was a car accident in Argentina. I was five or six, so it was much worse for my parents.
When I was eight years old, I got a dummy for Christmas and started teaching myself. I got books and records and sat in front of the bathroom mirror, practising. I did my first show in the third grade and just kept going; there was no reason to quit.
I have actually been sporty right from my childhood. I was quite chubby in the first eight years of my life. But then I began playing volleyball in school. That did it. I lost all my baby fat and became slim.
Our poker table is eight guys, and then I’m the ninth; I’m usually the only girl at the table.
A normal day of working in Burbank is 14 hours, sometimes more. On ‘The Revenant’ sometimes it was eight hours, but we were shooting only five. So they were short days, but they were very strenuous because of the weather. And it was very dark.
When I was ordained as a pastor, I walked away from secular music for seven, eight years. It took me that time to learn that God is love.
The Senate floor is and always has been the great arena of our democracy. I spent eight years in my younger life as a boxer, and sometimes when I enter the chamber, I think, ‘This is the ring. The American people can see us here and listen to our arguments. This is where the fights matter.’
I don’t like Paris so much, and it’s only eight shows. I mean, don’t tell them that, of course. But everyone always thinks they’re so important. And I’m sure they are. But to me, my happiness is more important.
For eight months, from January to August of 2007, I filmed with Anna Wintour and her team at ‘Vogue’ as they created the September 2007 issue of the magazine.
It’s funny that I’m so popular with seven-, eight-, nine-year-olds.
Ever notice that Soup for One is eight aisles away from Party Mix?
It takes about eight years to develop as an Olympic athlete, very few athletes actually who go there win medal in their first Games.
There’s also a sense of freedom. I was so obsessed by this problem that I was thinking about if all the time – when I woke up in the morning, when I went to sleep at night, and that went on for eight years.
Eight o’clock is hard no matter what network you’re on because people have to make a decision to sit down and start watching TV. Every other time slot is a time slot that happens after someone’s watching something else.
I have nothing against her, and in fact I’m very fond of my first wife. But we should have ended that marriage eight or 10 years earlier.
For eight years, I was sleeping with the president, and if that doesn’t give you special access, I don’t know what does!
I was eight years old when I got the talk about what to do if a police officer stops me. I was 15 when I was face-down on the curb for the first time.
Every year, I have to spend another hour working out. Pretty soon I’ll be spending eight hours working out just to fit in the costume. I have the feeling that the minute I stop doing the character, boom, Roseanne Barr.
I try and get about eight hours of sleep every single night. And I like to think that I drink more water than anyone, ever.
I haven’t had sex in eight months. To be honest, I now prefer to go bowling.
One can see that a canvas is six feet by eight feet, say, quite accurately. But you can spend two minutes and think it’s five, or thirty seconds and it’s just a different bed for activities there.
I have many memories of my time with Planned Parenthood. I spent eight years of my life there. Some memories are good, some are not. But they are contained in my mind. It’s easy to forget them.
A long time ago, in a country not so far away, I was eight years old, doing my best Darth Vader imitation.
The writing process, the way I go about it is I do whatever the beat feels like, whatever the beat is telling me to do. Usually when the beat comes on, I think of a hook or the subject I want to rap about almost instantly. Within four, eight bars of it playing I’m just like, ‘Oh, OK. This is what I wanna do’.
My family moved to Israel when I was eight until I was 10, and then we came back, and my parents split up. I was suddenly in a single-parent home and on scholarship. Fifth grade was such a hard year for me.
I like to listen to my iPod and also play music. I’ve been doing percussion since I was eight or nine. Rhythm is crucial in long jump but also in life.
My mother was a master juggler. If you ask her, she’ll say she was a wreck. There’s plenty of screaming that went on in the house, but I think it was necessary just to be heard. There were eight children!
I’m well-travelled so I can see places coming up. I went to St. Croix in the West Indies at Christmas and it had been hit by a really bad tornado. Values there have gone down but I guarantee they will be up again in eight years. So I’ll get in now while it’s cheap as chips.
I really put the medical school thing on hold and really chased after my football dream. And I guess I’m still chasing. I’m eight years in the NFL, and I feel very fortunate to be where I am.
When I was a young boy, I preferred cats to dogs. From the age of seven or eight onwards I just felt more comfortable with cats. And I felt more comfortable with girls, I didn’t really like hanging out with guys. When I was about ten or eleven, I was friendlier with the girls in my school than with the guys.
Most of the time, if I’m in a pickle, I’ll call one of my brothers. They’ve usually got somewhat uplifting advice. One is six and a half years older and one is eight years older, so they’ve probably lived through whatever my problem is.
I was born in Poland I came to Sweden when I was eight and always wanted to act and suddenly ended up in a Bond movie which was for me at that time absolutely enormous.

On the coming of that tremendous storm which for eight years desolated our country, Mr. Jefferson hesitated not, halted not.
I had eight brothers and sisters. Every Christmas my younger brother Bobby would wake up extra early and open everybody’s presents – everybody’s – so by the time the rest of us got up, all the gifts were shredded, ribbons off, torn open and thrown aside.
I dated a lot of girls all through high school, and in college I dated a young lady for about eight months.

I wanted to leave ‘Eight Is Enough’ for the Navy.
To be honest, I don’t want No. 1’s anymore. Now, don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t mind the odd few, but I’d also like a record going in at eight and staying around.
I worked 120 hours a week for eight years. That’s 20 to 22 hours a day every day and one week I only got 15 hours sleep.
I get up at 7:30 and work four hours a day. Nine to twelve in the morning, five to six in the evening. Businessmen would achieve better results if they studied human metabolism. No one works well eight hours a day. No one ought to work more than four hours.
Surely, anyway, a working day of eight or nine hours which is not split by a nap is simply too much for a human being to take, day in, day out, and particularly so in hot weather.
You see an absolutely brilliant film later, as an adult, and you walk out thinking about what to have for dinner. Whereas something like Jaws winds up having a huge effect on me. If only my parents had been taking me to Kurosawa films when I was eight, but no.
Every day is like that, eight successive meetings on eight different topics, every one really important and interesting.
If ever I needed an eight foot putt, and everything I owned depended on it, I would want Arnold Palmer to putt for me.
By the time I was 29 I’d spent eight years with someone else’s group of friends. I had no idea what it was like to be a woman with mates of her own to socialize with.
My parents did everything possible. My dad has worked from eight in the morning until nine in the evening to make it possible so I can play tennis. We had to cancel tournaments because we couldn’t afford to go there.
I went to Spago once, eight years ago. I had just closed a deal. I thought it would be fun to go to Spago and it wasn’t. I got a bad table and nobody paid any attention to me.
When I was about eight, I asked my mother if it was true that God knows everything about you. When she answered yes, I said, ‘Then there’s no hope for me, Mum.’
In ‘Angels in America,’ I got to fulfill a lifelong dream. I was in the air eight nights a week for two years, and I just loved it.
There were nine children in my father’s family and eight in my mother’s. My grandparents did the best with what they had. After the Depression, they were scratching out a living and working hard. They kept the family going.
It’s been my experience in politics that you can try and plan it out: ‘I’m going to hit the three ball which will hit the eight ball.’ You’ve just got to go run and try to do everything right. And then have a little luck.
