I like to stay within the zone of one character. It would disturb me to break away and go into an entirely different territory.
When I tour, it’s like, well, like a food tour as much as a comedy tour. I try to eat at all the weird places, the obscure barbecue joints, burger places. There are a few spots in L.A. that I’m obsessed with – one of them is the Taco Zone taco truck on Alvarado. There are secret off-menu items that are amazing.
I don’t think anyone should try to put themselves in a situation or push themselves out of the zone that they don’t feel comfortable and safe in.
Marine protected areas, and particularly no-take zones, are very effective in allowing regeneration of fish stocks.
The best things in life are often waiting for you at the exit ramp of your comfort zone.
I hope Greece is going to remain in the Euro zone.

English players are probably scared to come abroad. They are in a comfort zone in England: that’s where we grew up; that’s where we played in youth teams.
All sports have a zone, but ours is at 95 mph. You can feel the speed; you can feel the wind. It’s the most euphoric thing I’ve ever done.
I was a huge ‘Star Trek’ fan. I loved the ‘Twilight Zone’ growing up. In the future, I hope to create some thoughtful, sci-fi drama.
My style is all I have. When I go on stage, that’s me in my comfort zone. It’s not a costume. It’s just me. And I want every woman to feel that way.
Professionally, I made my first film at 20 in a war zone in Kosovo.
I don’t think you can set up a computer to do a strike zone on a guy who’s 6-foot-5 and then a guy who’s 5-8. Where does it draw the line? One guy stands tall, and another squats down, and it changes the lines. Nah. I still love the umpires; they do a great job. I don’t have a problem with any of that.
A lot of hitters stay away from the plate, some are close up, some are forward, some are back. The thing about hitting is this: You have to know the strike zone. That’s the most important thing. Hit strikes and put the bat on the ball.

I hate losing and cricket being my first love, once I enter the ground it’s a different zone altogether and that hunger for winning is always there.
I don’t want euro bonds that serve to mutualize the entire debt of the countries in the euro zone. That can only work in the longer-term. I want euro bonds to be used to finance targeted investments in future-oriented growth projects. It isn’t the same thing. Let’s call them ‘project bonds’ instead of euro bonds.
I get in that zone, even if I’m relaxing or whatever, where I just zone out. I don’t even hear anybody. You could ask me a question five times, and I don’t even hear it.
It’s because of all the jokes that I became popular and got roles in comedy shows like ‘Nadaniya’ and ‘Badi Dooooor Se Aaye Hain.’ I thoroughly enjoyed doing these shows because I got the chance to step out of my comfort zone.
Every time the Houston Texans play at home, DeAndre Hopkins’ mother, Sabrina Greenlee, sits in the same spot in the end zone, close enough to the field to hear the ball smack against the turf.
You want to try to keep your sleep and meal patterns attached to the time zone that you’re in. It’s important so you don’t feel disoriented. If we take a red-eye and land in Singapore at 8 A.M., we’re not going to bed. Force yourself to stay awake, have breakfast, power through the day.
It’s so important for young girls see that it’s not weird for girls to understand what happens in the red zone. It’s not rocket science. For a lot of the girls that I grew up around, that’s common knowledge.
I hate how old people get in my way when I’m swimming. You’re trying to get into the zone and normally, if there’s someone faster than you, you get out of the way, but old people don’t; they’re like, you can go round me. I give a little tut when I pass them.
I was a teacher. I also worked at Harlem Children’s Zone. I moved back to Baltimore and opened up an after-school, out-of-school program on the west side and then worked in two public school districts, in Baltimore and Minneapolis.
In Bombay people know me as a Rituparno Ghosh actor but Calcutta gives me the comfort zone and that’s why I love shooting here. In Bombay, the money is bigger, the stakes are bigger.

Despite their lack of visual impact, headline sex-appeal, and their ‘out of sight, out of mind’ nature, we should all care about aquatic dead zones because we are all connected to their causes and we all feel their impacts.
I need to get hit in the face. I need to get dropped hard before I can really circle the wagons and proceed. It breaks you out of being complacent, of being in your comfort zone.
If I enter a set, I am all over the place and be in my zone once the camera is on.
I like to shower for a really long time; that’s a distraction-free zone for me.
If a special economic zone worked as I do believe it would in the North, then hopefully we could extend it further south. It could certainly have benefits for an even wider area of Australia.
Comfort zones are most often expanded through discomfort.
Soft romantic numbers are my comfort zone but I would surely like to step out of it and try something peppy like a dance number.
As to the euro zone avant-garde, it must go towards more solidarity and integration: a common budget, a common borrowing capability, and fiscal convergence.

In Syria, a no-fly zone targeted at Assad’s air force and safe zones for refugees fleeing the fighting would help tamp down the death toll that plays into the hands of ISIS and other Sunni militants who can position themselves as the only groups that are really defending the Sunni population.
In ‘Brothers,’ I am going into a zone that is something that I have not done. It’s a very simple and desi character. It’s also a character that I think a lot of people would not have expected me to do.
Everybody knows when I get in the zone… I just kind of go crazy. I have a lot of fun.
I don’t stay in the constant worried and over-thinking zone.

As an actor I want to explore myself and really want to break the stereotype. I want to go beyond my comfort zone.
The artistic element of Manhattan has kind of moved to Brooklyn. Has it changed it? Yeah. Has it ruined it? I would say no. It is what it is. I say better that than an urban war zone.
Whether we are winning, losing or drawing, we have to be ready to adapt and not sink into a comfort zone.
It’s good for me to do things outside my comfort zone and push myself.
I’ve learned in my life that it’s important to be able to step outside your comfort zone and be challenged with something you’re not familiar or accustomed to. That challenge will allow you to see what you can do.
There is no safe zone now: whether it’s commercial or experimental films, the audience wants content. Otherwise, they reject the film.
In every novel, I write about something – a place, an experience, an emotion – with which I’m intimately familiar, but it’s also crucial to me that I take on challenges. If write only inside my comfort zone, I’ll suffocate.
I’m generally more and more in my comfort zone in the wild.
I think when your imagination goes to work, and when you’re first bullied, you feel like you’re going to die. School becomes a war zone, and you can’t function.
I can never think about, ‘Is this going to sell? Is this going to work on radio?’ I just have to get in the zone where I’m like, ‘Do I love this, or do I not love this?’ Essentially it all comes down to that.
The usual way of growing cotton is highly petrochemical-intensive, requiring 110 pounds of nitrogen fertilizer per acre. Some of the fertilizer is broken down by soil bacteria into nitrate, a toxic and highly soluble chemical that can leach into groundwater or get washed into lakes, creating oxygenless dead zones.
Live in the moment and make the most of every single hour that you’re alive. Like it says on the sign outside the drop zone in front of the school: No Idling.
