I didn’t want to be the lead guy. That’s too much work. But I thought that it might be fun to be the lead guy’s friend. I’d have days off, and still get a paycheck every week. – Robert Sean Leonard
On my job I end up jumping out of planes. Last week I got in an 18-wheeler and drove down a runway onto a skid track. The week before that they put me in a car and sunk me to the bottom of a lake to see if I could escape without an oxygen tank. – Rick Mercer
I used to write a monthly column for the ‘New York Times’ syndicate. But I stopped because I found it really hard to have one extreme opinion a month. I don’t know how these columnists have two or three ideas a week; I was having difficulty having 12 things to say a year. – Salman Rushdie
In one week, I got hit by a car – it busted through my hand – and my mom got cancer. – Tobias Jesso, Jr.
I worked with the same trainer that worked with Denzel Washington in THe Hurricane. It was three months of training, five days a week, 4 to 5 hours a day. This was followed by a month of choreography. – Wentworth Miller
I loved Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton’s ‘Inside No 9.’ The way that they constrained each episode to a single location, then tasked themselves with including completely new characters every week, within a single half-hour. – Tom Riley
They come together like the Coroner’s Inquest, to sit upon the murdered reputations of the week. – William Congreve
I enjoy watching sitcoms where the team behind it have successfully created a whole alternate reality that you can enter into for half an hour every week. – Simon Bird
I’m a huge ‘Game of Thrones’ fan. I’m really into the ‘Colbert Report’ and ‘Last Week Tonight.’ And I really like to get on Netflix and watch, like, TV documentaries about: What happened to the mastodon? Or who was Jack the Ripper? – Scott Michael Foster
If some of the people who write about mojo came with me for a week, they would drop dead on their feet. – William Hague
When kids tried to pick on me, I always had one line to shoot them down with: ‘I make more money in a week than you’ll make in your entire life.’ Which probably wasn’t true, but they thought it was. – Tyler James Williams
Army life was rough. Would you believe it, they actually wanted me to pitch three times a week. – Whitey Ford
My problem is that what I like changes from week to week. Even the stuff in my suitcase right now I don’t like any more. – Suki Waterhouse
Things are forgotten and then perhaps picked up again, if we’re lucky, it lasts… if not, then it’s in the lap of the gods. The important thing was to do some work that I liked and hopefully that some others might also like, whether for a minute, a week, a month, a year. – Tom Glazer
I try to read a Kindle Single a week, but I’m getting bad at that. I usually have a few books on the go. – Warren Ellis

I always tell my students: I don’t care which side you’re on. I respect you too much to try to persuade you in 120 minutes a week, much less lure you into pretending that you agree with me. All I want is for you to own this democracy, to see yours, to have a stake in it. – Susan Estrich
Over time, there’s a very close correlation between what happens to the dollar and what happens to the price of oil.

We saw it in the ’70s, when the dollar was savagely weakened. – Steve Forbes
Anywhere in the world, any day of the week, in 192 countries and territories worldwide, one can find an SGI Buddhist meeting where dialogue is at the fore. – Vinessa Shaw

In football, every play, play after play, there’s that physicality. Football players only play once a week, so they must really need to rest. That does kind of tell you how physical the sport is. But in hockey, you have the boards. I just couldn’t say which is more physical. – Sidney Crosby
Politics is the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn’t happen. – Winston Churchill

I was named Stanley because the week before I was born, my mother and father saw a movie – ‘Stanley and Livingstone.’ – Stanley Hauerwas
There’s so much of this thing now, where you’re supposed to do all the work before you get the commission. I think it’s really good to try to resist that. If you just have a week to come up with a pitch for something, your ideas aren’t going to be very good. Get your income from somewhere else, and keep your writing not tied into these contracts. – Whit Stillman
Diplomats are just as essential to starting a war as soldiers are for finishing it… You take diplomacy out of war, and the thing would fall flat in a week. – Will Rogers

I used to work about 100 hours a week; now it’s about 70. But 40 hours? Forget about it. Either you’re all in, or your not. – Tony Fadell
