I mean, I enjoy my work as an actor. But to make a difference in people’s lives through advocacy and through supporting research – that’s the kind of privilege that few people will get, and it’s certainly bigger than being on TV every Thursday for half an hour.
The Thursday night game is by far the most difficult game to prepare for. You can’t get into as much depth as you normally would in your game plan because you just don’t have the time. You’ve got to jump right into the next opponent.
It wasn’t like it is now. But for the types of teams we had, the fans were very good here. On some Thursday afternoon games, we’d get 25,000 fans. That was remarkable. This has always been a great Red Sox city.
I started reading G. K. Chesterton’s ‘The Man Who Was Thursday’ on a subway ride, almost missed my stop, and walked home thumbing pages.
If you’re on Thursday night at 8:30, because the history of that time slot has been so disastrous, there’s a hell of a lot of numbers pressure.

For my family, ‘black-ish’ is the reward on a Thursday evening – a day after the show officially airs, when it’s finally available to be streamed.
I try to get in two runs during the week, after the ‘Today’ show, probably around 1 or 2 o’clock, Tuesday, Thursday. Then Saturday or Sunday, I do my longer runs and try to do it in the morning.
With ‘Dance Moms’ in L.A., we film on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. When we film in Pittsburgh, we film the same days, but we still dance in our studio when we’re not filming, so I’m dancing every day except Sunday.
To be honest, I kind of skipped over watching cartoons, and reality TV shows raised me. Literally, in fifth grade I ran home from school and watched ‘Jersey Shore’ every Thursday, girl.
I mostly wrote ‘Thursday’s Child’ to explore the idea of a wild child – a creature who lived much as humans used to live, when our needs were simple and our worlds were small.
I think the way I sort of approach it is, you just sort of keep your head down and focus on what you are doing and making shows that people will want to see on Thursday night.
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.
Thursday night football should be illegal.
Audiences are so much more sophisticated than they’ve ever been. They expect a lot more. I don’t think because it’s an hour of your Thursday night rather than an hour and a half of your weekend that you should be gypped at all in quality.
My favorite day at ’30 Rock’ is Thursday when the show airs. At lunch, we screen the episodes. For everyone to watch together, to see the stuff we all worked on, to hear the crew laugh – it’s great fun.
We have to sell a gameplan, and you have to be enthusiastic, and you have to have energy come Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.

You can be in Shanghai on a Thursday, London on Friday, and in bed at home by Friday night.
On the fourth Thursday in August, my neighbors and I cordon off the ends of our block and take over the street for an evening. The annual Augustus Ave. block party is an exercise in teamwork and deep democracy.
People ask me from time to time what it was like growing up with Henry Fonda as my father. I say, Ever see Fort Apache? He was like Colonel Thursday.
Last Thursday, our Supreme Court backed that local governments can co-opt private property, and give it to another private entity, for economic development.
The fact is I’ve always been such a big Bollywood fan, from the time I was very young. I remember I’d watch new Bollywood films every Thursday night on a video cassette.
We’re built to need a thing. I do think everyone has god. It’s just, who’s god for you? Is it god in the sky? Is it Shantel who teaches hot yoga Thursday mornings? Is it the person you’re in a relationship with? I hope not.
I remember when I was in the Middle East, Yasser Arafat used to go to Bahrain and Qatar on a Thursday and then go to Saudi Arabia and get his financial help on a Saturday.
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.
Thursday night football is here to stay. So we’re looking at ways to make it safer. Now they’re playing division games, so you limit travel. Now the question is, should you play Sunday night before a Thursday night?
In England, there is a tradition of playing on Saturday. But in Spain, I won the UEFA Cup with Valencia playing on Thursday and Sunday, which was just the same.
My father was an airline pilot, so we travelled more spontaneously than a lot of families. On a Thursday, we could decide to go somewhere like Barbados the next day for a long weekend.
My creative process is a bit manic at times, to be honest. I wake up Monday and Thursday stressed because I don’t have a video. I usually – with the exception of maybe a handful of videos – wake up, write the video, shoot the video, edit the video, release the video all in the same day.
Well, I get my subject on Wednesday night; I think it out carefully on Thursday, and make my rough sketch; on Friday morning I begin, and stick to it all day, with my nose well down on the block.
Ronald Reagan gave our party a bowling alley image as opposed to a country club image. We were talking to people who go bowling on Thursday night, and they were understanding what we were saying.
Last year, I was on Threat Matrix. We were on Thursday against Friends and Survivor; so this year it’s fun to know people are watching, and to know that all of your hard work is not sort of wasted.
It’s so fun for kids to dye eggs. But on Holy Thursday, we make a special batch of dyed eggs. Instead of pastel, the eggs we dye on Holy Thursday are dyed only red to symbolize the blood of Jesus.
In conclusion, Thursday is a day brimming with possibility and the promise of a new day. It invites us to reflect, set intentions, and embrace the opportunities that lie ahead. As we reflect on these quotes, may we be inspired to approach each Thursday with gratitude, enthusiasm, and a renewed sense of purpose. Let us harness the vibrance of Thursday and make the most of its potential as we navigate the final stretch of the week.
