During the year, our schools are busy slashing P.E. and recess to make more time for math. During the summer, we get ourselves worked into a tizzy that our children will forget their fractions.

‘Up’ was the best. The first 10 minutes of that movie made me weep. It was so well done… even if that montage was all I’d seen, just as a short film, that was great....

But a year before that, I was starting to drink beer on the set of the film Lucas (1986).

Jamie Moyer was in his third year as a major league pitcher and was, by his own admission, still wide-eyed, watching everything going on around him and soaking it in. He paid particular attention to...

I was there less than a year before I was assigned to the Paris bureau. I spent two years there and, in fact, before I even went on the staff I was sent to Europe...

My total year’s income from working as hard as I possibly could from writing went from like $30 one year to about $70 the next year. And it made me realize that maybe you couldn’t...

I played basketball and soccer my freshman year in high school.

A housing renaissance has begun. This may be hard to believe after the dizzying, six-year-long crash in home sales, construction and house prices. But housing turned the corner last year, and it will take off...

My New Year’s Resolution List usually starts with the desire to lose between ten and three thousand pounds.

This is the year you really put the stake in the ground.

At the end of their first years, there are few people who would have predicted that Truman would be elected in 1948 or that Reagan would get a second term. It’s always premature to make...

If unemployment could be brought down to say 2 percent at the cost of an assured steady rate of inflation of 10 percent per year, or even 20 percent, this would be a good bargain.

Because when we think about the real facts: 44 million Americans without health insurance, millions without jobs, a 50-year high on mortgage foreclosures, an historic high the third year in a row on personal bankruptcies.

So may the New Year be a happy one to you, happy to many more whose happiness depends on you!

We think if the economy remains weak that we could see mortgage rates trail down and we think that we could see rates below seven percent into early next year.

I’m spending a year dead for tax reasons.

When I was a child, the FA Cup was one of the crown jewels of the sporting year, along with the Grand National, Wimbledon and The Open. But with every announcement it seems to lose...

He’s a year shorter than me, but he’s a foot younger. I love him like the brother of an only child.

Americans in particular are myopic. They’re not traveling as much. When you were a college student, the next thing you would do on graduation was to take a year off and travel. That’s what I...

In Sierra Leone last year there was just the two of us hanging out of a helicopter and, when we were in Bosnia, I drove an armoured vehicle, thousands of miles.

One year, I was nominated for entertainer of the year, and I didn’t think I deserved it.

I suppose that one’s years spent living do not reflect a measure of our souls or strength of character.

Certainly, we continue to bring in new people. We’ll hire, net new, over 4,000 people this year, and attract great people into the company. I’m very bullish about the employee base and what it can...

IBM isn’t investing billions of dollars every year into research and development – and winning more patents than our top 10 competitors combined for more than a decade – as an academic exercise. But research...

What twelve year old wouldn’t want to play an evil wizard?

Maybe you don’t work for seven months a year, but you’ll work again. It may be a piece of garbage, so you wear hip boots.

Summer nearly does me in every year. It’s too hot and the light is unforgiving and the days go on way too long.

I have, I think to do a play a year is very good if you can afford the time and the energy because it’s difficult to do, it’s really the actors medium of course, because...

If newspapers were a baseball team, they would be the Mets – without the hope for those folks at the very pinnacle of the financial food chain – who average nearly $24 million a year...

I’m one year away from 70 and I’ve had a good run. I really believe I’m okay.

There was a solid year and a half, perhaps two years, after making ‘Temple Grandin,’ when I didn’t do anything. I just didn’t have much patience for roles that were silly, or light, or inconsequential.

So, where’s the Cannes Film Festival being held this year?

Fiction that responds to recent world events is a hostage to fortune, because all momentous events look very different a year, two years, three years later.

I wrote a million words in the first year, and I could never have done that outside of prison.

Also, for a team as strong as like ours, the Tour will always remain the biggest goal of the whole year, and personally I will certainly concentrate most of my energy on this race.

That was my challenge as a composer. Like with anything, to keep yourself interested in doing what you do, you set yourself challenges. So I said, Okay, I’ll try to write a hundred tunes in...

One cannot compare Skoda with the Volkswagen brand. Volkswagen is the world’s biggest brand selling over four million cars a year, so there is really nothing to compare.

Just give me 25 guys on the last year of their contracts; I’ll win a pennant every year.

I still look good. I’m trippin’, but people tell me that all the time. So check it out, I’m 63, and still kicking. I’ve been putting records out every year.

[A dog is] a bundle of pure love, gift-wrapped in fur.

What worries me are these so-called radio stations with program directors who don’t play all the different flavors of hip-hop. They should play the old with the new, 24/7, 365 days a year. A lot...

When I was born I was so surprised I didn’t talk for a year and a half.

Italy in the first years got food, for the first year or the first periods got food. Then we got raw materials and then we got tool machines, let’s say, instruments for working.

We’re gonna release a studio album probably a year from now and we’ve got these recordings that we did with Coco Taylor and Johnny Johnson, who was Chuck Berry’s piano player.

When I left school I went to Australia for a year and worked in the drama department of a school in Perth.

I’ve been with Life now for seventeen years and I have written several articles for them and will be doing more writing and do at least two assignments a year besides my writing.

Once a year my back will go out and it’ll be… it’s like a sciatic thing and it’s the smallest thing. Like I could be leaning over the sink to brush my teeth in a...

Losing one grounds you a bit. I learned a lot after losing the title in 2009, learned that I was probably too intense that year, and when I didn’t win, I just felt horrible.

Metaphorical tone deafness is when people are unable to discern what is of value in something. I think I’m tone deaf to poetry, for instance. Despite having studied it into a second year of university,...

Tennis is a hard sport. There is a lot of competition all year and you play alone.
