When I got ‘Trophy Wife’, the first fear is, ‘This could go away;’ the second is, ‘It’s here and I love it; I hope it gets a second season.’
The greatest preparation for a TV show is to already have one season behind you.
I’ve been watching ‘American Idol’ since its debut season in 2002. Back then, America hadn’t yet evolved into a gladiatorial cybernation of bloggers, tweeters, and self-ordained voice coaches.
I can’t believe we’re in the middle of the fifth season, and if this is all there is, my God, it went fast.
The key to a winning season is focusing on one opponent at a time. Winning one week at a time. Never look back and never look ahead.
I like to keep almonds in my pantry. I also like to keep fruit on hand, just different types depending on the season. And string cheese – that’s a really good one.
A month before the season, I don’t order fries with my club sandwich.
During the season, nutrition is so huge.
Television viewing has become for me a completely different experience, because I don’t watch shows on a weekly basis. I wait until the DVD or I TiVo everything and wait until the end of a season and watch it all over a weekend. For me that’s a really satisfying experience, like reading a book.
The main factors in terms of how tiring a season can be are governed by the number of races and the length of time between the first and the last.
The number of elements that have to go into a hit would break a computer down. the right season for that play, the right historical moment, the right tonality.
Over the season, the games come thick and fast, and in some games, you aren’t so lucky.
Fabrics such as raw silk, velvet, shimmer, satin and georgette work well for the wedding season.
People talk about that catch and, I’ve said this many times, that I’ve made better catches than that many times in regular season. But of course in my time, you didn’t have a lot of television during the regular season. A lot of people didn’t see me do a lot of things.
One of the most beautiful things about Shakespeare’s Hamlet is when he stops in the middle of the play to ask, ‘To be or not to be?’ Then, right at the end, he decides to ‘let be.’ The first season of ‘Stranger Things’ was Hopper asking whether ‘to be or not to be’ and the second is to ‘let be.’
Maine out of season is unmistakably a great destination: hospitable, good-humored, plenty of elbow room, short days, dark nights of crackling ice crystals.
When it’s football season, I’m all football.
Early in the season, you’re going into races feeling confident because you’ve done the work and that confidence gives you an extra five or 10 per cent.
That’s what you work all season for, to get into the playoff games, and you don’t want to blow it.
Watching Clayton Kershaw in the very first game of the 2014 season, I realized that he’s not overpowering; he’s deceptive. It’s the sum of his parts that makes the Los Angeles Dodgers ace baseball’s most successful pitcher.
They say you don’t want to know how sausage is made. Book coverage is like sausage in that way: better not to know exactly how the gatekeepers of mainstream media choose which books to crown as must-reads each season – just swallow it down with a cold beer and call it a night.
A Home Run Derby is fun. It’s just like taking batting practice, and you just want to go deep. Guys do it every day. Yes, there’s a little more pressure when they pull that cage back, but if you practice properly, it shouldn’t affect the second half of your season at all.
‘The Bone Season’ is violent. There’s sex. My little brother keeps asking to read it, and he’s 9, so I’m like, ‘No, it’s not happening.’
But I plan on dedicating specific training to track this winter for the next racing season.
I make homemade juices with whatever is in season. I rarely have coffee, but I drink lots of tea. I start with a pot of tea at home and sip on herbal teas throughout the day at work.
My aunt had a season ticket for the Friday afternoon concerts, and I would go down for lessons. My lessons were Saturday morning.
Praise out of season, or tactlessly bestowed, can freeze the heart as much as blame.
Baseball is the president tossing out the first ball of the season. And a scrubby schoolboy playing catch with his dad on a Mississippi farm.
Although I hardly ever turn on the TV set unless it’s football season, I do watch a lot of TV on my iPad – perfect for long airplane journeys.
A plump, well-fed stream is as satisfying to behold as a well-fed animal or a thrifty tree. One source of charm in the English landscape is the full, placid stream the season through; no desiccated watercourses will you see there, nor any feeble, decrepit brooks, hardly able to get over the ground.
Bandwagon and all that it is is such a huge passion of mine. We’re already bouncing around ideas for season three, what we would call our golden ticket, in terms of a celebrity we would pair up with. We have a few in mind, and a few topics.
I have this lust for the so-called South Seas. I would like to explore every corner of the Pacific. You know the song: ‘To everything turn, turn, turn, there is a season.’ It’s just time.
We have a tough schedule this summer, so I have to plan my schedule wisely if I want to be able to last throughout the season.
The best sequels throughout time keep what you really like about the first thing, but they aren’t afraid to do their own thing for the next season and kind of grow, in a way.
Last year was a tough decision for me, to end my season so short. But it was the right decision for me, because right now I feel great. I can go out here and sprint full speed right now, but I’m just going to pace myself for April 5.
Some of the stuff in Season 3 on ‘Game of Thrones’ – the amount of mud I had to eat, not intentionally but by accident – was pretty tough.
I would love for a regular student to have a student-athlete’s schedule during the season for just one quarter or one semester and show me how you balance that. Show me how you would schedule your classes when you can’t schedule classes from 2-to-6 o’clock on any given day.
Love has its own time, its own season, and its own reasons from coming and going. You cannot bribe it or coerce it or reason it into staying. You can only embrace it when it arrives and give it away when it comes to you.
Ball teams do not always run true to form in a short series. In a season’s campaign, class will tell; the best team will invariably win, unless disaster overtakes it. In a short series, some freak situation, same unusual play, may prove to be the turning point.
Self-discipline is an act of cultivation. It requires you to connect today’s actions to tomorrow’s results. There’s a season for sowing a season for reaping. Self-discipline helps you know which is which.
I would say it wasn’t until my fourth season on ‘SNL’ where people or my agent was saying, ‘You’re an actor.’ I never thought of it that way.
We try to win everything at the start of the season.
For me, I think everybody with half a heart tries to do their best to do their part of good during the holiday season.
I love the simplicity, the ingredients, the culture, the history and the seasonality of Italian cuisine. In Italy people do not travel. They cook the way grandma did, using fresh ingredients and what is available in season.
I think I don’t really have any expectations; I don’t look at the season as a whole – I look at it race by race.
The first season of ‘Community’ stumbled a bit because the plotlines too often veered into realism, but that is not a problem anymore. Not when prize episodes concern a campuswide blanket fort, or a secret garden with a magic trampoline.
Before I joined professional baseball, I started umpiring in San Diego, California. I worked 155 games in a five-month season. For three years in a row, I was working tripleheaders on Saturday and doubleheaders on Sunday.
Destroying is a necessary function in life. Everything has its season, and all things eventually lose their effectiveness and die.
Out of high school, I was, like, 202-205 pounds. My rookie season, I was, like, 245; my second year, I was 255. My third year, I got up to like 272, and I tore my ACL. I don’t know if my weight was part of the cause of that, but I got hurt, so I just tried to re-evaluate my situation.
I was number one in the ratings four times last year and twice this season. What could be more damn equal than that? If they get any more equal, I don’t want it.
Pilot season in L.A. is just this blood bath. They make so many pilots, and such a small percentage are picked up. And then if you are picked up, there are so many variables. You have to get a good time slot, and you have to get promoted. And then you have to thrive in that time slot.
Fall is my favorite season in Los Angeles, watching the birds change color and fall from the trees.
If I test the car for a year I can be quite competitive the next season.
I was shooting the third season of ‘The Big C’ and doing ‘The Normal Heart’ at the same time on Broadway, and I thought, ‘I’ll never do anything as difficult as this.’
Mrs. Ari’s style on ‘Entourage’ is so fabulous. Gucci is a go-to for her because every season there is something fun, but there’s also something classic.
Even with an improperly ground mirror, the Hubble delivered extraordinary images. When the flaw was corrected, the Hubble delivered images of transcendent beauty and value for many years. So too ‘Terra Nova.’ Even in its flawed first season, each episode was full of marvelous moments and beautiful images.
