Christmas makes everything twice as sad.
I think that the idea of having a different approach to every single one of my albums is so exciting to me. I never want to make the same record twice. Why do it? What’s the point?
Most people have fallen by the wayside once or twice in their lives, and because the world is so transparent now, I think they’re very fearful of running for office.

Few people think more than two or three times a year; I have made an international reputation for myself by thinking once or twice a week.
I’ve done some luxury flying, which is brilliant. It has only happened once or twice, but it was nice because flying is the worst part of the holiday. But then again, if the plane crashes, you’re still dead. For that much money I’d want a little capsule that whizzed me off to safety if it was going to crash.
I have friends who don’t even know I’m diabetic. I don’t hide it, but it’s the last thing I need to tell someone. I take my insulin with every meal and have kidney drugs twice a day, but that is, like, habit. That’s how I deal with it.
My childhood memories are filled with hugs and kisses from both my mum and dad. My mum has a thing about kissing you an odd number of times: if she kisses you once, all good, but if she kisses you twice, then you know another one has to follow and, weirdly, she tends to go for the forehead.
Though I am not a chief of state, I must work twice as hard as one because I have to both administer a bureaucracy and run a revolution.

It’s kind of my biggest fear: thinking I know somebody I’m going to be, and then I don’t. It’s probably only happened to me once or twice, but that was enough for me to definitely not do a role unless I 100% can be that person.
I have said with as much sincerity as I can muster that if I were thrown into a dungeon with a sentence of one hundred years, with my only company being an illiterate guard who came twice a day with meals but who never spoke, I would still write – on coarse toilet paper in the dark if I could spare it.
I was on ‘The Mike Douglas Show’ twice. I was on the cover of practically every magazine in the United States. I never said no to anything. I told everything to everybody. I gave everything away, and when you give it all away, you have nothing left.
The unemployment rate is still twice as high for blacks as for whites.
I watched ‘Downton Abbey’ twice, and I’m thinking of watching it for a third time. It is so good!

I don’t know that we do. I had thought ours worked well, but I had never examined it too closely. A lot of media people will be looking for a case that might make Texas Governor George Bush think twice about what he’s doing.
Comedy is surprise. Comedy is not something that you can, necessarily, do twice.
If you can mix glamor and gags, then you can catch the audience twice over.

A hamburger by any other name costs twice as much.
I think where the criticism of videogames come from is where videogames are just Xeroxes of films, and when you get a film adaptation of that game, you’ve just Xeroxed something twice. I think that’s where a lot of the criticism comes from – there are ultra-violent games that are already based on a million films.
Once or twice a week, I try to do some kind of boxing. I’m hitting the bags and jumping rope – all that stuff.

When I was younger it was twice a day with a game on the weekend. Then when I got older, three times a day everyday in college and on the national team.
The mother cannot expect her daughter to understand the mysteries of housekeeping without education. She should instruct them patiently, lovingly, and make the work as agreeable as she can by her cheerful countenance and encouraging words of approval. If they fail once, twice, or thrice, censure not.
One of my favourite Donald Byrd tracks is ‘Think Twice,’ and I didn’t want to sample it. I’ve always enjoyed when other people have sampled it, so I wanted to instead of making a beat with it or something like that, or freak the beat of whatever. I wanted to just recreate it in my own way, like how I heard it.
I didn’t really start going to see a lot of musicals and live theater probably until I was in seventh or eighth grade, maybe my first year of high school, and by that time I’d probably seen ‘Grease’ twice a year every year of my life.

Men should think twice before making widow hood woman’s only path to power.
One thing I do personally started 20 years ago. I started meditating, and I know twice a day I can kind of let everything drop. It’s just about being quiet, like drawing back the day, and it allows me to have energy.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve booked an air ticket only to get to the airport and find out they killed my ticket because it goes into the system, and the program tosses a ticket that says ‘fake’ on it. Twice I’ve gone to the counter for a KLM flight through Northwest and have been rejected.
If today were half as good as tomorrow is supposed to be, it would probably be twice as good as yesterday was.
In the early ’80s, the arcade game Pac-Man was twice as popular as oxygen.
It is not once nor twice but times without number that the same ideas make their appearance in the world.
I guess my claim to fame is I’ve now gaveled Ted Kennedy to order twice.

I have always loved astronomy, and being an astronomer once lurked in the back of my mind. But I was never good at algebra. In fact, I flunked it twice in high school.

I’ll try anything once, twice if I like it, three times to make sure.
I make sure that I exfoliate every single day. I have very dry and sensitive skin, and I break out occasionally, but my main thing is always moisturizing because my skin is so dry – whether that’s twice a day or four times a day.
I do love the idea of ritual. I’m a very ritualistic person. I have to wash my face twice, and on the second wash before I rinse, I brush my teeth, then I rinse, then I floss, then I put on moisturizer. I’m ritualistic. Jewishness is very ritualistic.
Well, you have your regular classes, like three hours every other day, three times a week. You get twice a week to have an ice practice. Once a week you have weight lifting. It was great.
I would never think twice about marching next to my brother for an issue we both believe in.
In the 1950s, when I was hanging around Sullivan’s Gym and the Gramercy Gym, there were fixed fights. Mob guys like Frankie Carbo and Blinky Palermo had taken over the sport; one lightweight champion loaned his title to others at least twice; the welterweight division was a slag heap.
I would explain myself as a singer, an artist… and most importantly I’m a part of Twice!
Venice, Italy, is one of my favorite cities, a place I’ve been lucky enough to visit twice.
Most scientists will get serious media exposure about twice in their entire career. And they’ll get that because they’ve actually done an experiment that was interesting.
My problem is that the audience is more fiction-literate than ever. In Shakespeare’s day, you probably expected to see a play once or twice in your life; today you experience four or five different kinds of fiction every day. So staying ahead of the audience is impossible.
