Some people will go to the opening of an envelope. They live their lives in the public eye and get off on it, they need it. They need that kind of adoration. If their name isn’t in the tabloids once a week they feel like a failure. – Jensen Ackles
If pushed to say what I like about Elizabeth, who, as I’m sure most of you know, overtook Queen Victoria this week to become our longest-serving monarch, it would be her uncomplaining, getting-on-with-it ethic. – John Niven
People still come up to me and say, ‘Hey, ‘Teen Wolf!’ ‘Teen Wolf Too’ closed a week after it opened. Where did they see it? – Jason Bateman
It’s a staggering transition for high school students that found they could study five hours a week and make As and Bs. – John W. Gardner
I think education was the key for me, and that’s what I tell kids. That base in the classics gave me something to springboard from, which I wouldn’t have had if I’d come out to Los Angeles early and been guest punk of the week on ‘Hill Street Blues.’ – Jimmy Smits
The book that is the closest genetically to ‘Goon Squad’ is ‘Look at Me.’ It has the futuristic element – although, freakishly, almost every aspect I invented has come to pass in some way, including the terrorist who fantasies about blowing up the World Trade Centre. That was extremely uncomfortable. The book came out on the week of 9/11. – Jennifer Egan
We had a week off in the middle of shooting, but as soon as everyone stopped, we all went down with six different types of flu and other unmentionable diseases. – Johnny Vegas
I would prefer it if people thought that I didn’t work hard, that I just played the guitar for three minutes a week and was like, ‘Check out this song – what do you think?’ That would be ideal. I would prefer telling people that I’m just truly talented. – Julian Casablancas
Do you want to have a career that goes beyond, you know, 11 minutes in a 22-minute television show every week? Some people don’t. That’s fine. – Jason Alexander
Bugs are a great pest in Colorado. They come out of the earth, infest the wooden walls, and cannot be got rid of by any amount of cleanliness. Many careful housewives take their beds to pieces every week and put carbolic acid on them. – Isabella Bird
The University of Nebraska says that elderly people that drink beer or wine at least four times a week have the highest bone density. They need it – they’re the ones falling down the most. – Jay Leno
Policy makers should be compelled to take action given the serious costs of long-term unemployment when overall unemployment is already high. A week of unemployment is worse when it is experienced as part of a longer spell. – Janet Yellen
When I realized I wanted to do more writing and less traveling around the world teaching live seminars, I decided to write the first ‘Chicken Soup for the Soul(R)’ book. I knew I wanted to have 100 stories in the book, so I wrote or edited two stories a week for a year. – Jack Canfield
I am always in much better shape when I am doing a Broadway show because you have the eight shows a week to kind of keep the body clean and perfect in a sense, you know? For instance, I always eat much better when I am in a show because you can’t have dairy – for your voice. – Jane Krakowski
I try to go to the gym three times a week. And I have to watch what I eat. I’m a normal person. – Jamie Lee Curtis
The Beliebers have done some pretty crazy stuff. Last week, the night before I was due to do a show in Germany, four girls went into a dumpster so they could sneak into the building. They climbed in and hid. When the guys working on the truck started getting the garbage they found them straight away. It was crazy. – Justin Bieber
My father, a bakery-truck driver, was the epitome of the work ethic that probably kept me knocking out columns six days a week for a rough total of 12,600 over 50 years. – Irv Kupcinet
The days I see a Make-A-Wish kid are the best days of the week. It’s a real privilege. I give them exactly what they give me – hope. – John Cena
Last week in the Homeland Security Committee, Republicans were against port security; and today, one week after Democrats unveiled our Real Security Agenda, they’re for it. – Jim Clyburn
London Fashion Week is so different from any of the others. Compared to the strictness in New York, London seems freer from commercial constraints. Truer to the process, to street style, to a sense of humour. – Alexa Chung
I’ve heard all the coaches complaining about the new CBA rules limiting padded practice. I don’t like the reduction to just 15 padded practices during the season. When I coached, we always practiced in pads; and three days a week. – Jimmy Johnson
I tell people, and it’s the truth, I could sit in my garage for a week and it won’t make me a car. And you can sit in church till your bottom is flat and that won’t make you a servant of Christ. – Joyce Meyer
Death remains about the one certain fact in the lives of each one of us, and there will be suffering, sorrow, and sadness next week as there was last week. – Basil Hume
Well, I called him and I said, Mr. Wright, what can I do? Universal offered me a contract $300 a week. He says take it. You’ll never get that money from me. – Anthony Quinn
As I said last week in the wake of the grand jury decision, I think Ferguson laid bare a problem that is not unique to St. Louis or that area, and is not unique to our time, and that is a simmering distrust that exists between too many police departments and too many communities of color. – Barack Obama
I was utterly without worldly ambition because I knew that all that was needed for a rich, full life was a few shillings a week with which to buy SF magazines and beer. – Bob Shaw
