In large part, thanks to widespread immunization, the number of young children dying each year has declined significantly, from approximately 14 million in 1979 to slightly less than eight million in 2010.
For an actor, you’re rejected eight or ten times a day. All you’ve got to sell is yourself. You’re not selling products, they’re not turning down a car, they’re turning you down. Most people can’t handle that. Most people are essentially not set up that way.
The band has always stayed close to its fans and not sold out. That’s a very rare thing. I can see how rare that is having been outside of the band for eight years. Maiden has integrity. I think people appreciate that.

I’m a huge ‘Breaking Bad’ fan; I would be really annoyed if anyone told me anything about what was going to happen in the last eight episodes.

Over a 10-season stretch from 1967 to 1976, eight Super Bowl champions either were the Raiders or had to beat the Raiders in the playoffs. The Jets, the Kansas City Chiefs, the Baltimore Colts, Miami, the Steelers each of the first two times… we all had to deal with the Raiders.

Well, I must tell you I write the scripts very close to the bone. So I’m writing episode seven now and couldn’t tell you what happens in episode eight.
Sometimes that happens. I know how it feels to lose eight or nine to nothing. It can be frustrating but it was good for us. This was a team that was hot the last nine games. It seemed like any puck we touched went our way.
I think we spent 60-something million on ‘Hateful Eight,’ which is actually more than I wanted to spend, but we had weather problems. And I wanted to make it good.

The weather is the worst. I lived many years in Lisbon and then went to Monaco, places that are similar in terms of weather and food. In Manchester, it’s eight or nine months of cold, and that makes a difference, but apart from that, I’m really enjoying the city.
I’m a big believer that when we put so much into our jobs – and everyone does – you deserve to be get paid for it instead of doing a gig and then having to work in a bar for eight hours.

The most interesting thing to me is that ‘The Walking Dead’ is a show that reinvents itself every eight episodes. It’s an evolving landscape. There are characters that die. There are characters that stay on. There are characters that go away. I love that.
Since I was eight years old. I didn’t have a TV, so comic books were definitely my television, my soap operas, and all that.
If you concede a goal, it can be up to seven or eight mistakes leading up to it but, obviously, as a goalkeeper you have to accept it has gone past you.
I just spent a lot of time on ‘ER’ for that eight years. I also started working when I was 16, so by the time I left ‘ER,’ I was 40 years old, I had this incredible experience, my wife had this great company, we had four kids, it was like, ‘Let’s go to New York and live for a while and make that the priority.’
I practice every day. I’ve been doing it since I was eight.
The longest show I’ve ever done was four and a half years, so I can only imagine what ending an eight year show is like.

Going through the grief period of my dad and losing him – that was the worst thing because you know when you get that call. When you are seven, eight years old, you have that almost vision in your mind of what that’s going to be like and what your going to feel like and it doesn’t prepare you.

I’ve introduced eight bills to fight for support for our small businesses and ensure we get funding to rebuild public housing – among other things.
Broadway’s a lot of work, don’t get me wrong. It’s eight shows a week. You hardly ever see the sunset. I remember when I left, I was like, ‘Oh! The sun’s setting! I haven’t seen that in a year!’ Singing eight shows a week is hard.
I’ve done panel shows, which I enjoy, and on those you’re recording half-an-hour of TV and sometimes they film for two hours.

I just filmed a movie with my boyfriend, an indie film called ‘Conception.’ And it’s kind of like an R-rated version of ‘Valentine’s Day.’ So it’s like all about eight couples, and me and my boyfriend play one of them together. And that was a lot of fun.
I am a creator of TV shows. ‘Lifestyle’ ran for 14 years… that was pleasurable. We also had ‘Runaway’ for eight years. We did two years of a show called ‘The Start of Something Big’, and we did a network series called ‘Fame, Fortune and Romance.’
What’s really important in life? Sitting on a beach? Looking at television eight hours a day? I think we have to appreciate that we’re alive for only a limited period of time, and we’ll spend most of our lives working.

At 86, I can easily look back to the last eight decades. Though memory often fails me now, so many images of the past are still clearly polished, and I can yet recall not just an abiding sense of place, but the keen smells, the sensory responses to the events of that past.
As a reporter having covered him for eight years in the White House, I am sure the press could have done a better job if we had known the real Ronald Reagan.
