The money's always been on the table. We could have took that money any time we wanted - every year, two, three times a year we've had offers, all the way down the line.

Ian Brown

I've always had to move between a couple of years of unemployment, where offers are not provocative enough to take, and seasons where I work nonstop for a year. It's always been an erratic rhythm.

Holly Hunter

The Chinese tell time by 'The Year of the Horse' or 'The Year of the Dragon.' I tell time by 'The Year of the Back' and 'The Year of the Elbow.' This year it's 'The Year of the Ulnar Nerve.' Someone once asked me if I had any physical incapacities of my own. 'Sure I do,' I said. 'One big one - Jim Palmer.'

Earl Weaver

The trouble is, the older you get, it's hard to find time to make a film: it's a year to write, a year to get money, a year to make it, a year to edit. It's four years of your life.

You, as a wage earner have to pay your taxes every year on your income for that year. So if you have a one-time windfall that makes you a lot money you could end up in the top tax bracket. But if you're a corporation you are allowed to reach forward with deferrals for years. Over a 45 to 50 year period, you can balance out the winning years and the losing years in such a way that you pay very little tax, especially considering the time-value of the money.

David Cay Johnston

Debra Messing

I may have had some symptoms as early as 1998 - dizziness, vision problems, balance. Anyway, it's been a progression, it hasn't stopped since I first noticed it. Each year there is a considerable decline.

Jeff Lowe

Christmas used to be my favorite time of year. But as an adult, it's a time of year where it's like, do I have to go through this again?

Jinkx Monsoon

That year I went to Miss America, that was the first year I had competed in an adult pageant, if you could call it that. So it was zero to 60.

Shannon Bream

Thankfully, the life of an actor can be quite balanced anyway. If you look over the course of a whole year, you do tend to have periods of down time. So, it's about managing the balance.

Elaine Cassidy

As a standup comedian, I've worked almost every New Year's Eve of my adult life. It's the best-paying night of the year.

Elayne Boosler

Each year has been so robust with problems and successes and learning experiences and human experienes that a year is a lifetime at Apple. So this has been ten lifetimes.

Steve Jobs

I can very much enjoy taking a year off. Whereas some people would feel crippled by that, I can feel enlarged by it. And then I also like to work nonstop, maybe for a year-and-a-half, and then take a year off.

Holly Hunter

I was, like, forty at birth. When I wasn't even a year old, I spoke, I was potty trained, I walked and talked. That was it. Then I started school and drove everybody crazy because they realized I had popped out as an adult. I had adult questions and wanted adult answers.

Sharon Stone

I believe the chance of any event causing Berkshire to experience financial problems is essentially zero. We will always be prepared for the thousand-year flood; in fact, if it occurswe will be selling life jackets to the unprepared.

Warren Buffett
