Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes. This is not coincidence.

I am going to take something I learned over in Israel. Their Independence Day is preceded the 24 hours before with Memorial Day so it gives them a chance to serve and reflect and then celebrate. I am going to try to start that tradition here in America.

At school there was an annual school disco and I'd be standing in my bedroom wondering what to wear for hours on end. Eventually I'd arrive at a decision that was just the most ridiculous costume you could have ever devised - I think it was probably knitted Christmas jumpers on top of buttoned-up white shirts.

In our racist sexist society Christmas is the 8 hours when we stop killing each other and gratutious over eating is encouraged so that the starving and other people in the world can die!

My ideal relaxation is working on upholstry. I spend hours in junk shops buying furniture. I do all the upholstery work myself and it's like therapy.

Confidence doesn't come out of nowhere. It's a result of something... hours and days and weeks and years of constant work and dedication.

So this is the space during tutoring hours. It's very busy. Same principles: one-on-one attention complete devotion to the students' work and a boundless optimism and sort of a possibility of creativity and ideas.

A doctor must work eighteen hours a day and seven days a week. If you cannot console yourself to this get out of the profession.

Confidence comes from hours and days and weeks and years of constant work and dedication.

I stayed away from mathematics not so much because I knew it would be hard work as because of the amount of time I knew it would take hours spent in a field where I was not a natural.

I like work it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours.

For every two minutes of glamour there are eight hours of hard work.

By working faithfully eight hours a day you may eventually get to be boss and work twelve hours a day.

Papa always makes it clear that he would like to know me as much more rational and lucid than the girls and women he gets to know during his analytic hours.

The hours of folly are measured by the clock but of wisdom no clock can measure.

He who devotes sixteen hours a day to hard study may become at sixty as wise as he thought himself at twenty.

After I had the Caesarean I was told I had really strong stomach muscles and so would heal very quickly. And I did. I was up walking about within three hours. Six days after having her I was out shopping and shortly after that I made it to David Walliams' wedding.

I didn't finish my dress until about three days before my wedding - I had the flu and was stitching it from my bed. And the tulle came back from India all brown. We had to wash it for hours but that didn't dissuade me from wearing it.

It was only literally hours after the wedding when he felt he didn't have to keep up the facade.

I had two family members involved in World War I: two great-uncles. One of them is on a memorial in France. And the other was a trench runner who survived the war. The average life span of a trench runner was 36 hours but he survived the whole war.

I have a theory that the truth is never told during the nine-to-five hours.

I never practice before I never work hours on a script. I just choose my characters and trust them and after that it's about the director taking your hand.

My interactions with Sorkin were agonisingly weird. He is by far the weirdest person I have ever met. I had dinner with him and a few hours before I got an e-mail from his assistant saying 'Sean this does not need to be a long conversation. Aaron is only going to use it to win your trust.'

I travel 330 days a year and eat every two and a half hours - I'm a big guy. I always carry a fork little bottles of spices and Sriracha. I eat what I feel like eating.
