Don’t move to L.A to become an actress – you’ll just be a waitress. Don’t drive to Nashville to become a country music star – you’ll just end up playing empty honky-tonks at two in the afternoon on a Tuesday.
I’m a big believer in creating family traditions. Every Tuesday morning, I make a proper eggs breakfast, and we all sit down and eat.
After a Saturday game, we’re in on a Sunday to cool down and make sure we’re fully back at it again. But it doesn’t really affect things too much. It’s basically like you’ve had a game on the Saturday, and then you’re in the cup on a Tuesday.
We concentrate so much on anniversaries and birthdays that you forget it’s the Tuesday that’s tough that really counts. Sometimes she just needs some flowers or even just that ear. It’s the little things that count. It’s the regular days of the year that you have to keep your attention on her.
Some days I have off like Thursday and Sunday but typically Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday are dedicated to training if I’m in fight camp.
This country and the Commonwealth last Tuesday were not far from the Kingdom of Heaven.
I remember waking up Tuesday, September 11th, 2001, to my wife telling me to put on the TV because I wasn’t going to be going into N.Y.C. as planned. Dream Theater was working in N.Y.C. at the time mixing our album ‘Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence,’ and I would’ve been driving in that afternoon for our session.
I never had an official job, but I did play at a local cantina every Tuesday night, and I babysat a lot.
But here’s my point to the LA Times. If you had a serious story to run, if you thought there was serious misconduct, you don’t wait until the Thursday before the Tuesday. You run it early.
I live in New York and got a call from my agent saying there was this new role on ‘Mad Men,’ it might be recurring and they’re seeing people tomorrow. I said, ‘OK, this is one of those things where you hedge your bets, use your miles and get on a plane.’ I flew out Tuesday morning and got the job on a Wednesday.
On a Tuesday, September 11th, 1973, we had the military coup in Chile that forced me to leave my country eventually. And then, on a Tuesday, September 11th, 2001, we had the terrorist attack in the United States.
I am not a woman on Monday, an immigrant on Tuesday, a worker on Wednesday, and a mom on Thursday, I am all of those things all of the time, and I am going to fight for all of those things all of the time.
The meshing of the brands is great. I think it brings excitement. It brings anticipation of not knowing who’s going to be on ‘Monday Night Raw’ or on ‘Tuesday Night SmackDown’ so I think it’s really awesome.
Make no mistake about it: when you’re on the road Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday – on the road 300 days a year – you have to be a certain type of person.
At The Comedy Store, night after night, the crowds are fuller. It used to be Tuesday at 9 you’d have to start with six people. Now you come in on Tuesdays and it’s 100-plus people and you’re like, ‘Really? On a Tuesday?’
I went out there for a thousand a week, and I worked Monday, and I got fired Wednesday. The guy that hired me was out of town Tuesday.

I was lucky enough to play at Old Trafford, and we always talked about the atmosphere on a Tuesday night, the special atmosphere you create, and the crowd is rocking when you go out for a warm-up.
My dad would let me leave work an hour early if I had a game. I’d drive back an hour to Bournemouth, get my bag ready and be off to the game for a half six meet – so on a Tuesday it was a rush.
