If you think Abraham Lincoln became famous for inventing the town car it is time to spend a few hours on history.

Today I can announce a raft of reforms that we estimate could save over 2.5 million police hours every year. That's the equivalent of more than 1 200 police officer posts. These reforms are a watershed moment in policing. They show that we really mean business in busting bureaucracy.

No there is literally nothing on the business side that I wouldn't sacrifice in a heartbeat to have an extra couple of hours' writing. Nothing.

I want to say that probably 24 hours after I told CBS that I was stepping down at my 65th birthday I was already regretting it. And I regretted it every day since.

I tried to bake a cake for my mother's birthday - it took me four hours. It was terrible and I cried for three days.

We Americans are the best informed people on earth as to the events of the last twenty-four hours we are the not the best informed as the events of the last sixty centuries.

The beauty of voice-over work is that maybe you come in and record once every two weeks for a couple of hours and do a couple episodes a session. It's awesome! You spend an afternoon playing in the booth and there you have it. It doesn't interfere with much.

The game in beauty is changing so much if your product isn't high tech or can't make a unique performance claim - plump your lips reduce your lines look glossy and stay on for 24 hours - you can't go to market today. I'm not just talking about a $20 lipstick but a $5 lipstick!

Natural beauty takes at least two hours in front of a mirror.

I like to embrace natural beauty. I try to get at least 8 hours of sleep drinking a lot of water and exercising.

Swift speedy time feathered with flying hours Dissolves the beauty of the fairest brow.

The beauty the poetry of the fear in their eyes. I didn't mind going to jail for what five six hours? It was absolutely worth it.

In terms of work I've always had a Bad Attitude in that I won't work anywhere which requires me to work strict hours or follow a dress code. I don't know if that's an Asperger's thing or not I think it's just being reasonable.

In individual industries where female labour pays an important role any movement advocating better wages shorter working hours etc. would not be doomed from the start because of the attitude of those women workers who are not organized.

But I feel truly wowed by the architecture and the meaning of the architecture if you get lost in it and think about the man hours in the smallest little chapel and the love involved. God it's fantastic.

The best part is it's a dream come true. I've always wanted to be a working actor and the good part of it... it's all good! I work long hours but it's amazing. They pay me. That's amazing! I get to kiss Keri Russell and that ain't too bad.

It's amazing the hours you pull when you're the lead of a show.

Voice-acting on the fun meter is off the scale. You show up you don't have to be all primped up or dressed up. And you get to work with some amazing people and goof off for four hours.

The average session takes about one to two hours. It's totally amazing because when a person breathes they go through one stage of relaxation after another and every stage releases tension.

What's amazing is that I'm recognized all over the world through 'Red Dwarf.' British fans are exceptional but the American fans are something else. Some of them fly 500 miles to stand in line for three hours just to meet me then when they do they collapse. It makes you feel like a rock star!

I spend up to two hours a day on correspondence. Hearing from fans on the Internet and being able to directly respond to the fan base is exciting. You can cut out the middle man like the fan club... before a recent appearance in Tyler Texas I had fans reaching out on MySpace offering their lake house Mavericks tickets. It was amazing.

Don't count out other amazing programming like Frontline. You will still find more hours of in-depth news programming investigative journalism and analysis on PBS than on any other outlet.

One thing that is almost always said to me is I grew up with you. They are meeting me and feel that they actually grew up with me. I was with them during their play hours and thinking hours. I was a part of their childhoods. That's one of the most amazing things.

It's amazing how I can just ramble on for hours isn't it? And so unentertaining or uninteresting. But I can ramble on for hours. It's a sort of terrible gift isn't it?
