I ran for Governor to change the priorities in Raleigh because middle class shouldn’t mean second-class.
I left Guiding Light so many times, they ran out of champagne.
I am happy that I ran the half-marathon, but to me, just running and saying that I finished a race isn’t enough for me. I want to run the race as best as I can. Working out for pants size isn’t enough. I need a goal or a race to get back on the treadmill every day.
I ran to the arts, because the arts are the one thing that would never abandon me.
If you look at space companies, they’ve failed either because they’ve had a technical solution where success was not a possible outcome, they were unable to attract a critical mass of talent, or they just ran out of money. The finish line is usually a lot further away than you think.
Growing up, I saw my mother cry exactly once. The morning of her brother’s funeral. One long tear ran down her cheek through her make up until she caught it near her mouth and patted it dry with a tissue she pulled from inside her sleeve.
I always said a prayer before I ran, and my prayer was to win. My prayer was that God would allow me to run my best on that day, or better than my best. So whatever the outcome is, I have to be satisfied with it if I know I gave it my best effort.
Breaking dramatically with Bush-era Republican orthodoxy, Trump ran on a message of ‘America First’ and of avoiding spending blood and treasure on adventures overseas.
My imagination ran 24/7, and to me, every problem was a challenge to solve and new product to create. It wasn’t until I started teaching that I realized that not everyone’s head worked the same way.
My freshman year, I ran for student class president and lost. The next year, I ran for student class vice president, and I won.
I ran 10k once. I’ve got a medal.
My character on ‘The Crazy Ones’ is entirely different than Bob Benson. If these guys ran into each other at a bar, I don’t think they’d have much to talk about. They’re really different guys.
Obama ran on a platform of unmitigated optimism – a promise to usher in a brighter day for America. But there could hardly be a greater contrast between his pledge and his performance in office, between his commitment to the nation and his current abandonment of all hope.
I really had a problem with being ‘the man.’ I’m past it now, but that was my insecurity. I ran from that. I was cool with being No. 3 on the call sheet or No. 2.
Working with real firefighters keeps us really grounded. How can you possibly complain that your trailer is not at the correct temperature when you are working with a man who ran out of a burning building to save someone’s life?
I ran on forming broad coalitions with people throughout the caucus and across the aisle, and so that involves the Blue Dogs, people who are talking about tax reform.
My father ran a CB radio business. I grew up in a cluttered space that was filled with radios and antennas. It felt alien.
On a Friday night in 1983, I was in a taxi in New York riding home from dinner with friends. A drunk driver ran a red light and hit the cab, and I was thrown toward the glass partition. I tried to duck, but my face hit the glass, and the impact fractured my cheekbone, my eye socket, my collarbone and several ribs.
The first presidential election I really paid attention to was in 1988 when George H. W. Bush ran against Michael Dukakis.
When I was three, I ran over my brother, David. Hed just been born, everybody was paying him attention and being the narcissist that I am, I ran him over with my tricycle.
Our favorite: a former garbage dump converted into a riverside park. I first ran there more than 30 years ago when a marathon passed through this park that later became home to Pre’s Trail.
What we need is some people to stand up with the courage of their convictions, to do what they promised when they ran for election, and fight to stop Obamacare.
We, being the Western world, wouldn’t let Russia off the hook on debt. So there were demands on debt servicing in the early days until they ran out of reserves. There was no real aid program, just a fictional aid program.
Victoria Woodcock ran Vote Leave – she was a truly awesome project manager and without her Cameron would certainly have won.
I ran over 10 years without missing a day, averaging close to 15 miles. I loved being able to run a long distance and get that feeling of strength and exhilaration from being in good shape. There was a meditative quality about it. Almost effortlessness. That’s a special feeling.
I was not a girl who grew up buying $100 candles. I was the girl who ran out of gas on her way to an audition.
Eventually, Nixon ran a very centrist presidency, not a Goldwater conservative presidency.
Watching ‘Doctor Who’ in the United States meant I was always behind the times – PBS didn’t get new episodes until two years after they ran, and I was aware of the show’s cancellation before the characters themselves knew, at least in my corner of the world.
Work less than you think you should. It took me a while to realise there was a point each day when my creativity ran out and I was just producing words – usually lousy ones – for their own sake. And nap: it helps to refresh the brain, at least mine.
I think it’s encouraging that President Trump is talking about strengthening our national defense, something he ran on again.
While my parents both worked full-time, we still grappled with the scourge of working-class poverty. But my entrepreneurial mother used her research skills to consult. And, along with my dad, she even ran a soul food restaurant for my great-aunt.
Chicago’s privatization mania began during Mayor Richard M. Daley’s administration, which ran from 1989 to 2011. Under his successor, Rahm Emanuel, the trend has continued apace. For Rahm’s investment banker buddies, the trend has been a boon. For citizens? Not so much.
I ran away from three different boarding schools before joining a circus school, and eventually I became an actor. The only thing I learned at boarding school was never to send my child to one.
I always wanted to be an army personal. My dad wanted me to pursue that dream but I ran to become an actor instead.
He was afflicted by the thought that where Beauty was, nothing ever ran quite straight, which no doubt, was why so many people looked on it as immoral.
I ran a ‘loan modification machine.’
I’d had four auditions for ‘Sinbad’ when I got the phone call. I was in the Trafford Centre in Manchester, and I screamed very loudly. Then I ran outside, and I screamed some more.
We changed our image. At least when we ran out on the field or broke the huddle, we would look like winners.
For more than a decade after the 2000 election, leading Democrats ran from their gun control past and bent over backward to assuage the fears of gun owners.
Education, transportation and health care was what I ran and won on. That’s what we’re going to be focused on.
I would have to say my best moment as an Everton player would probably be making my debut against Arsenal, coming on to such a good atmosphere as well. I was on the pitch when Ashley Williams scored the header and I remember he ran the full length of the pitch, and me being quite new I chased him all the way.
I was about 15, 16 years old when my father first ran for mayor, and that’s where I cut my teeth.
I ran track for my school. I played football, but I didn’t play for my high school; I played for a little league team.
When the BBC decided to bring Doctor Who back as a feature film a few years ago, one national newspaper ran a poll to ask its readers who should be the new Doctor, and I topped it.
From 1975-’79, I worked for PGA professional Tony Bruno. For five years I watched, lost in admiration, as Tony ran the golf shop at Battleground Country Club in Manalapan, N.J. Tony put in 80-hour weeks doing what nearly 29,000 men and women club pros do every day: Keeping the game alive with a smile.
People were buying two, three and four houses to be sold on and rented out. Then the money ran out. To this day you see a lot of what we call ghost estates around Ireland, which have not been finished.
The one time I’d ever babysat, the kid ran into a glass door and got a concussion.
I think all old folk’s homes should have striptease. If I ran one I’d have a striptease every week.
One guy came to a show and was like, ‘You’re going to be huge. I can see it in my mind’s eye. We could make you the next Pixie Lott.’ I did an internal scream and ran away.
I think we’ll be in pretty good shape. We’ve got the same car we ran in all the speedway races since 2001, and it’s been a real good car for us. It’s led every race we’ve been in.
I am much more wired to be an athlete than anything else. I understand the ‘hard work = payoff’ equation in sports. I run marathons and I box. And that’s my Puerto Rican flag hanging in Freddie Roach’s Wild Card Boxing gym. I gave it to him. My last N.Y.C. marathon time I ran in three hours flat.
I didn’t have a business degree. I didn’t have experience to work in somebody else’s office. I never built or ran a department. So I was on this journey, and when the time came to make a decision, I was just going with my gut.
I come from a magnetic field of Catholicism. I was baptised by my mother’s family, who were all traditional Catholics. But my mother was the black sheep of the family – she ran away to the ballet at 17.
