After preliminary research, I zero in on an idea, and then I spend at least four months exploring the topic and in plot-building. I jot down every single detail of the plot as bullet points per chapter, and only when the skeleton is complete do I start writing.
We’re going to shoot one Polaroid per show. I’m going to sign this before it even develops because I know that once it develops with my signature on it, it’s worth a fortune. I’ll make this a work of magic warlock art.
I knew a ton of actors and was friends with them, but I never dated actresses. I tried to date ‘normal’ people because the Hollywood dating rule is ‘one star per couple’ because it’s quite a challenge to match the egos of two actors.
As it is, I played 99 per cent of my football in the Premier League and I’d proud of that fact. That’s where my history is.
A car produces about one pound of CO2 per mile. There is no problem with collecting the CO2 in the tailpipe, but one might easily end up with a trailer hitched to the car for carrying all this CO2 back to the filling station. The gas burned from a 15-gallon tank would fill up five 60-inch-tall gas bottles.
You could do a ‘Les Mis’-type musical about Hamilton, but it would have to be 12 hours long, because the amount of words on the bars when you’re writing a typical song – that’s maybe got 10 words per line.
There’s only one rule in stand-up, which is that you have to be funny. Yet 99 per cent of comics look and talk exactly the same.
You know, now there is always half of the new Quebecers who are going to the English CEGEP. After that, often they are going to work in English. So for us, that is so important. We are a real minority in North America. Two per cent of the population are French-speaking. We have to protect this reality.
To me, the magic of photography, per se, is that you can capture an instant of a second that couldn’t exist before and couldn’t exist after. It’s almost like a cowboy that draws his gun. You draw a second before or after, you miss and you’re dead – not them. To me, photography’s always like that.
The amazing thing about the sea is that it is perhaps the last truly unexplored frontier; most oceanographers estimate that only about ninety-five per cent of the sea has been studied. Meanwhile, the oceans are believed to contain more animals than exist on land, a majority of which have never been discovered.
I received $100 per week when I started working at the Globe after graduation.
With everything it has to offer, Las Vegas is an obvious destination for tourists, as proven by the over 40 million visitors the city welcomes per year.
With 10 per cent of Nigeria’s total land mass, 80 per cent of which is arable, Niger state symbolises the hope and greatness of Nigeria and has potential to feed the continent.
Kotak Mahindra Bank has very significant presence in the West and the North, and our total branch network between these two regions is 80 per cent, and in case of ING Vysya Bank, their network in South is 64 per cent of their total branch network.
The conflict in Darfur could escalate to where we’re seeing 100,000 victims per month.
People who work 44 hours per week make 50 percent more than people who work 34 hours a week.
I identify with the 99 per cent.
Photography is truth. The cinema is truth twenty-four times per second.
I try to limit my time with Michael Davies to as little as possible per week, and he is pretty good with that, since he has a bazillion things to do. When I do see him, I try not to talk about dental work or anything like that because I know the Brits get very sensitive.
If you want to give 100 per cent, you have to feel that you are important for the manager.
I don’t practice per se. I learned to play on my own, taught myself how to play. I’ve never really had a lesson, and I don’t read music. So all the stuff that I do doesn’t come from the normal set of disciplines that they teach you where you sit down and run through scales for a particular number of minutes a day.
I have multiple ideas per day, all the time. The vast majority of these are completely idiotic. Usually, I just sit on the idea for several months. And if I have not decided that it’s idiotic, then it’s… might be a good idea.
If you cannot commit several hours per week to maintain the liberty that others afforded you, then you, by your inaction and silent voice, abet those who seek to destroy it.
An infernal machine that produces every minute an impressive amount of poor, 26 million poor in 10 years are 2.6 million per year of new poor, this is the road, well, the road to hell.
Till now poets were privileged to insert a certain proportion of nonsense – very far in excess of one-half of one per cent – into their otherwise sober documents.
I’m like a rocket – I go a hundred miles per hour.
I was in all the Pay Per Views and all the house shows, and I thought I made a pretty good impact and helped change pro wrestling – not by myself, but definitely, I was a part of it in the Attitude Era. There is no recognition towards me or about me, and I’m kind of disappointed.
Downhillers are going over 110 miles per hour. But no matter what, you can’t hit the fence at 100 miles per hour.
I can do the equivalent of 150 miles per hour and not get stopped. I could quite happily pursue people down the motorway in my helicopter.
Ignorance per se is not nearly as dangerous as ignorance of ignorance.
There’s not a human being alive I won’t talk to. There’s a quite simple rule. If you like somebody more than you dislike them you can have a relationship. Once you accept you like 75 per cent but 25 per cent you find irritating for this or that reason, you just have to ignore that 25 per cent.
I don’t know that I have a fascination with witches per se – well, maybe I just have a fascination with everything that’s weird.
Health economists have estimated that an injection of $250 million per year in Indigenous clinical care, and $50 million in preventative care, is required to provide services at the same level as for any other group with the health conditions of Indigenous Australians.
The speed limit on most of Maui’s highways is forty miles per hour, but my mother never went above thirty.
I use Lina Hanson Global Face Serum every night. It’s a blend of 100 per cent natural essential oils from all over the world, many of which are produced by women’s cooperatives.
You can’t eat fish. It’s 6,000 parts DDT per million all over the world, not counting radiation.
Depression is 80 per cent of my condition, and 10 per cent is mania, and 10 per cent is what we call normal. I say that must be when I am buying groceries. Or vacuuming.
The idea of ensuring that federal research dollars should be reasonably spread around is an arguably useful goal. But it should be done per person, not per state.
I don’t want to write a novel per year. I know that I need a break of one or two years. So maybe I invent some new, urgent activity so I don’t fall into the trap of starting a new novel.
I didn’t want to be on the road for 210-220 days per year. That was one of my first things when I started having conversations with Impact Wrestling.
I’m not a particularly healthy eater. But I am 100 per cent fit and healthy and I am the right weight for my body type.
Last time I checked, the digital universe was expanding at the rate of five trillion bits per second in storage and two trillion transistors per second on the processing side.
No matter how much good you do, there will always be a few per cent of people who don’t support you.
You have to be ready for all the games and be at 100 per cent if you want to win in this League.
It’s very difficult when you have $1.50 per day to spend on food and drink, but for people who live this reality, that money also has to cover medical expenses and education, fuel and shelter – sometimes for an entire family.
Spoken language’s elaborate rhythms and inflections convey more meaning per word than the printed word.
I only ever play Vegas one night at a time. It’s a hideous, gaudy place; it may not be the end of the world per se, but you can certainly see it from there.
When I was back to 100 per cent fitness, I was able to show what I was capable of. I like to think I will bring a freshness into the Euros, and now that I am captain, I am going to do my best to take responsibility.
Most people hugely underestimate the amount of ’empty space’ we have in our country. Fly over the U.K., and you see that human settlement does not fill up the U.K. at all. It accounts for something of the order of 15 per cent of the landmass.
Let’s be honest here: Twitter, for me, is 90 per cent a marketing tool.
I love the idea that if you’re going to travel through time, you do it in this insanely dangerous car travelling at 88 miles per hour.
I always look at these superhero films, and I see people hurdling towards at a hundred miles per hour, and then they get up, shake their head, and charge back at a hundred miles per hour. Nobody seems to really get injured or hurt. I don’t find any threat in that. There is no tension in that whatsoever.
I am a very linear thinker, so I write beginning to end. I write hundreds of pages per book that never make it into print.
The best thing about being a film producer is I get to spend 99 per cent of my time behind the scenes.
