I’ve always been in school plays and performing monologues and taking drama. Now I’m in acting classes. I do it the real way. I want to be a working actor. I would love that. I just like being on a series and having a script, and I want that to be my nine-to-five.

I did six series for the BBC and that was enough. I’ve been writing for ten years, which is more challenging artistically.

I was always a really big fan of R. L. Stine and the ‘Goosebumps‘ T.V. series and the ‘Goosebumps’ books.

Back in my days as a children’s book editor, my superiors caught on to the fact that teenagers were using the Internet to gossip about each other, and thought it might be nifty to develop a series of books about an anonymous high-school blogger who gossips about her classmates. The concept was passed on to me.

You’ll see more violence in any television crime series than you will in my films… Art is there to have a stimulating effect, if it earns its name. You have to be honest, that’s the only thing.
13
If the Mets can win the World Series, the United States can get out of Vietnam.
14

16
Happiness quantification sounds a bit wishy-washy, sure, and through a series of carefully administered surveys across the globe, economists and psychologists have certainly confronted a fair number of sticky issues around how to measure, and even define, happiness.

I’ve been very fortunate to be involved in all the Super Bowls, to see some World Series, to cover heavyweight championship fights; I’ve been to the Olympics and seen every sporting event there is.

I’m fascinated by how you’ll change your position so many times over a lifetime, but really what you’re doing is occupying a series of positions on a landscape.
27
My main worry is that after a certain point you become so identified with a character and a series that you might not be able to get work when your show goes off the air.
28
I get recognized for ‘Reaper’ in the U.K. I was in Costa Rica and got recognized for ‘Heroes.’ In Canada, it’s ‘Rookie Blue.’ People also think that I’m in the ‘Twilight‘ series because of Kristen Stewart.
29
‘Son of Frankenstein‘ is never talked about in the same tone as James Whale‘s 1931 ‘Frankenstein.’ But it should be. It was Boris Karloff’s last appearance in the Frankenstein series and stars Donnie Dunagan, then a child actor.
30

I’m working on something that’s not yet novel-shaped but is something of a film-noir-flavored ‘Alice in Wonderland.’ It will also very likely be a single volume story and not the start of a series.

Sometimes when you’ve had a long series of disappointing things happen, you can get into the very bad habit of just expecting more of what you’ve already had.

43
Slavery is a wrong to each individual enslaved; and not merely to the first of a series. Natural law, therefore, as much forbids the enslaving of the child, as if the wrong of enslaving the parent had never been perpetrated.
44
In serial music, the series itself is seldom audible… What I’m interested in is a compositional process and a sounding music that are one in the same thing.
45

The work with which we embark on this first volume of a series of theological studies is a work with which the philosophical person does not begin, but rather concludes.
50
Finally, as the digestive canal is a complex system, a series of separate chemical laboratories, I cut the connections between them in order to investigate the course of phenomena in each particular laboratory; thus I resolved the digestive canal into several separate parts.
51
You don’t just accidentally show up in the World Series.
52
There was a little afternoon show that was called Afternoon. Back in those days in television, most local stations had a midday show for housewives that had a series of things. It was like a variety show for midday.
53
54
For sheer creativity and totality of involvement, ‘Rolf’s Cartoon Club‘ with HTV in Bristol was an amazing show to work on, but I think the ‘Rolf on Art’ series, culminating in the painting of the Queen’s portrait to celebrate her 80th birthday, just nudges into the favourite spot.
55
56
You have to think of a restaurant as a series of impressions. But what makes my job so great is there’s no one answer that’s right for every restaurant.
57
58
It suits me to be in a series that takes ages to film.
59
When you’re doing a series like this, you’re constantly looking for new ways to excite your audience.
60
61
I’d love to do a Columbo-type detective character in a series.
62
The whole series is black-and-white, so when I went to shoot one of the women I only had black-and-white film with me. She had reddish hair and was a very pretty girl, a nice girl.
63
The best part of being on a television series for all those years is that you really get to hone your craft.
64
65
I’m a little younger than these guys, but I would say all of us are huge fans of the original ‘MacGyver’ series, and obviously we found that inspiration for the original pitch for ‘MacGruber.’
66
As Cuvier could correctly describe a whole animal by the contemplation of a single bone, so the observer who has thoroughly understood one link in a series of incidents should be able to accurately state all the other ones, both before and after.
67
68
69
The first episodes I actually read for ‘Downton,’ Sybil was really intimidated and hadn’t come into her own. So it’s only in Series Two that she’s become so headstrong. In general, I find it exciting to play strong, female roles because they’re shocking.
70
The Vietnamese see their history as an unending series of struggles of resistance to aggression, by the Chinese, the Mongols, the Japanese, the French, and now the Americans.
71
I’ve worked with Len Wiseman before, on the ‘Underworld‘ series, in which I was a vampire. The first two of those were his first two films. And I admire him beyond measure. I think he’s tremendous, as a man and as a director.
72
73

76
I just wanted to be normal. I wanted to have a normal life. I wanted to have children. And when I was picked out of a chorus line and cast in a TV series, I got anxious, so I took the bull by the horns and went to see a psychologist. And it was the greatest move I ever made.
77
There is a series of sectors which could be severely disrupted by terrorist attacks, particularly if they were to happen in several member states simultaneously.
78
The best thing about series TV is that everyone you work with is hand-picked, as compared to working on a film.
79
Life is a series of avoiding horrible situations until ultimately you’re dead. That’s how I feel about things.
80
81
82
We know how hard it is to make the World Series; to do it two years in a row is really special. I know how lucky I am to be a part of it two years in a row.

You don’t just accidentally show up in the World Series.

I did do some Shakespeare on film, it’s really difficult. It’s really interesting, because I was doing a series in Canada called ‘Slings and Arrows‘ and it was about a company based around the Stratford Festival.
90
HBO and I have a deal to at least try to make a television series from the Leonid McGill stories. We’re going to start with the first novel, ‘The Long Fall.’
91
It’s different as a guest as opposed to being a star of a series. A guest star is a whole different responsibility. It’s much different than being a regular. You come in, and it’s a lot of unfamiliar faces, and you want to try to fit in as best you can, but also you want to stay there without making waves.
92
In Massachusetts, scientists have created the first human clone. The bad thing is that in thirty years, the clone will still be depressed because the Boston Red Sox will still have not won a World Series.
93
When I was going on auditions, it was nerve-racking. I’d always say to my mom that it would be awesome if I could get a series. When Modern Family came along, I said, ‘You know what, Mom? I believe I’m going to get this role.’
94
95
96
The citation for the 1971 Nobel Prize in Chemistry reads, ‘for contribution to the knowledge of electronic structures and geometry of molecules, especially free radicals,’ and therefore implies that the Prize has been awarded for a long series of studies extending practically over my whole scientific life.
97
I had always had an affinity for series in literature, and I thought it would be really cool to incorporate what I loved about books into the story of music, to pile it together.

Tiger is the greatest thing that’s happened to the tour in a long time. He has brought incredible attention to golf at a time of year when football and the World Series always take precedence. Everything I’ve heard about him seems to be true.
103
All the individual stuff is great, but I just want to win a World Series.
104
To me, the series was the end of the actor, when the series ended.
105
The Olympic medal gave me a lot of confidence, and I went and won my first Super Series in Hong Kong. So in that regards, what Rio did was give me extra motivation and the confidence that now anything can happen.
106
107
108
Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them – that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.
109
I’ve directed a fair amount of television series – so I’m always trying to learn new things. One episode was all hand-held and I’m trying to get better at when you should do things and when you should just shut up and watch what the people are saying.
110
I don’t just think regular season. I think playoffs. World Series. That’s how I think.
111
112
113
Now and then I find a kitschy series I love.
114
115
As I slowly managed to take what I had learned into a transition from contestant to announcer and warm-up, I first had to prove myself on pilots. And as you know, many pilots are taped for each show that is lucky enough to breakthrough to being a series.
116
They say the first World Series is the one you remember most. No, no no. I guarantee you don’t remember that one because the fantasy world you always dreamed about is suddenly real.
117
I think when people mean that Discworld books have become darker they really mean the series is growing up. In ‘The Colour of Magic’ most of the city is set alight. It’s a joke, in much the same way that the Earth is destroyed almost at the start of Douglas Adams’s ‘The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.’
118
Well, TV series tie you up. You can’t do films while you’re doing a TV series.
119
120
121
I think I’ve explained earlier on in the year that I kind of underestimated how important experience was in this series, especially when you’re up against such good quality drivers.
122
The idea of being in a television series is a wonderful one to be considered, but you want to make sure it’s the right thing for you because if you are fortunate enough to have something go for a long term, you want to make sure that it’s something that you really want to be spending a bulk of your time on.
123
Start with short stories. After all, if you were taking up rock climbing, you wouldn’t start with Mount Everest. So if you’re starting fantasy, don’t start with a nine-book series.
124
125
I have likened writing a novel to going on a journey, with some notion of the destination I will arrive at, but not the whole picture – which emerges gradually as a series of revelations, as the journey goes along.
126
127
128
‘ABCD’ is impossible without Prabhudheva. So ‘ABCD 3’ will have Prabhudheva for sure. The first and second films were written keeping Prabhu in mind, and same goes for the third series as well.
129
One of the great things about a TV series is that it’s different to a movie – in a movie you obviously know the beginning, the middle and the end of what you’re going to do. With a TV series it’s unfolding, and you’re discovering with every episode.
130
Developing a series is a next step for me.
131
God wants us to know that life is a series of beginnings, not endings. Just as graduations are not terminations, but commencements. Creation is an ongoing process, and when we create a perfect world where love and compassion are shared by all, suffering will cease.
132
You know, a lot of people say they didn’t want to die until the Red Sox won the World Series. Well, there could be a lot of busy ambulances tomorrow.
133
134
I’m totally open to it being a movie or a television series or whatever, but truthfully, if no one wants to do it right, I’m also happy for ‘Ex Machina’ to only ever exist as a comic book.
135
136
So I was asked to do horror film after horror film, a series of about five, after that, and some of those were a little too gruesome. I wasn’t too comfortable all the time in those. I didn’t really care for them.
137
138
In writing a series of stories about the same characters, plan the whole series in advance in some detail, to avoid contradictions and inconsistencies.
139
140
I think the key that makes Airbnb is the fact that we’re a community, not just a series of commodities.
141
Take one flower that you like and get lots of them. And don’t try to ‘arrange‘ them. It’s surprisingly hard to do a flower arrangement the way a florist does one. Instead, bunch them all together or put them in a series of small vases all down the table.
142
I’ve been on one TV series after another. None of the network decisions have ever made sense to me.
143
144
Because the series is situated in the next century, and for the most part under water, there are many innovative technical gadgets. It’s a kind of StarTrek. When I first came there, I was really impressed myself.
145
146
147
148
149
It’s definitely a great honor to be the first Asian-American to win a NASCAR Cup Series Championship. It’s not something that I set out to accomplish in that way, but now that I have, I know that I hold a much bigger role in the Asian community.
150
151
My pat line about the Cubs and payroll is that the amount of merchandise the Cubs would sell off a world series championship would more than cover for a big payroll.
152
That’s why we play. That’s why we train. That’s why we do everything in the offseason. It is to win a World Series.
153
154
I would hope we would begin a series of projects that would do more to bring the different parts of the university together in the study of Asia, for example, in the study of the professions in Asia.
155
Following 25 children for the TV series ‘Child of Our Time’ has been extraordinary. The BBC’s original plan was to commemorate the new millennium. What better way than to film a number of expectant mums from across the U.K.? Coming from widely different backgrounds, all were due to give birth on January 1, 2000.
156
I don’t think there was ever a dish that changed my life. I certainly remember a constant series of things that I had for the first time and thought, ‘Where has this been all my life?’ One was brie. I mean, oh my God! One was my first soft-shell crabs.
157
There is this strange fog of being a young man that I would refer to as soft time. Time does not go forward there. It’s a series of doors that kind of wind back into one another, like a series of doors in the upper floor of a house. You revisit the same lessons over and over again, or you choose to ignore them.
158
159
Writing a song is like playing a series of downs in football: Lots of rules, timing is crucial, lots of boundaries, lots of protective gear, lots of stopping and starting.
160
161
I did ‘The Commish’ and an episode of ‘Neon Rider,’ and then I got the series called ‘Street Justice,’ which I ended up doing about 18 episodes of.
162
163
It is true that in quantum theory we cannot rely on strict causality. But by repeating the experiments many times, we can finally derive from the observations statistical distributions, and by repeating such series of experiments, we can arrive at objective statements concerning these distributions.
164
165
I’m always nervous! Especially when it comes to a series like ‘Disgaea’, where you do have such a devoted fan base, the last thing you want to do is disappoint. But I love playing bad guys and just always hope that fans will be forgiving if I miss the mark.
166
Going to Omaha for the College World Series – the people there are tremendous – huge crowds and a lot of excitement. I still remember those days – you make a lot of friends that you never forget when you win a championship like that.
167
168
169
170
171
The whole ‘Melrose’ series is an attempt to tell the truth, and is based on the idea that there is some salutary or liberating power in telling the truth.
172
I would love to go back as Leela in this new series.
173
174
I do sincerely hope the Cubs win a World Series. After I die.
175
I am unashamed to say that I have a super-crush on Kate Oates, the series producer of ‘Coronation Street.’
176
‘Planet Earth‘ was such an extraordinary series and the ‘Making Of’… is fascinating: the creatures and stories behind the camera are just as fascinating as those in front. It’s a bit of a dream come true to be a part of the team in some small way.
177
178
179
I’ve done a show at the Largo Theater called The ‘Thrilling Adventure Hour.’ We read, like, radio teleplays. It’s a send-up of radio dramas from the ’30s and ’40s. We just did a Kickstarter for that so that we can do a web series and a concert film.
180
Sustaining an audience with a web series is an impossible task.
181
Actually ‘Soon’ has more than the Left Behind series, but I really believe less is more.
182
But doing ‘Parenthood,’ I’ve never ever been happier in 35 years. I drive to work and I drive home. I’m like a factory worker and that is in my DNA. I love having a steady job with the same people. It’s made me so much calmer and more content. Now I just hope the series goes on for 15 years.
183
I think when people mean that Discworld books have become darker they really mean the series is growing up. In ‘The Colour of Magic’ most of the city is set alight. It’s a joke, in much the same way that the Earth is destroyed almost at the start of Douglas Adams’s ‘The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.’
184
In nighttime series, the actor gets billing up front on every episode.
185
The original and very basic ‘Law & Order’ series has always seemed to me to be 100-percent exposition, with no filler, no pesky nuances and almost no background about the series’ continuing characters – just the hard nuts and bolts of pure storytelling.
186
I had written movie scores, television series, played with other people. Carl had done the same with Asia, with other bands, everything. We weren’t about to entrust Greg automatically with a production credit.
187
If I have my way, I want to go start making really interactive television. Stuff where you can sit and watch real actors do a real series and they can get into some kind of gun battle and all of a sudden your television prompts you to pick up your controller and all of a sudden, you’re playing a first-person shooter.
188
189
There needs to be a planned series of speeches, interviews, etc., over the next two or three months by administration officials and other public figures talking about President Ford, what he is trying to do and what he has accomplished.
190
I used to work in ‘Big Brother‘ in the third series, I was a logger, which was the worst of all jobs, you had to sit and watch what happens and type it into a computer.
191
I had a great experience working with Dynamite on Masks, and had just gotten started on a stint on The Shadow with them when they floated the idea of a Captain Action series. I’ve been a little obsessed with the character since I was first introduced to him in the pages of Amazing Heroes back in the early 1980s.
192
A startup is literally just a series of unfortunate events where you failed, failed, failed, and failed until you succeed.
193
194
195
196
197
I’d like to write a series that, in an adventurous and fun way, teaches kids a way to discern between good and evil, to establish a foundation on moral absolutes.
198
When you’re on a series, it’s tough to go on and do something else afterward. If you’re smart, save your money and you can wait out the bad times, until something else comes along.
199
200
201
202
I never read. The paper or anything. I watch a lot of movies, and TV series and stuff. But I never, never read.
203
Just because you have star power and a huge marketing budget, you can see from some professional web series, it doesn’t equal views.
204
The series of photographic operations, developing, washing, final drying, takes about quarter of an hour.
205
206
207
I’m calling my book series the ‘with God series.’ And this next ‘with God’ book is Friendship with God, which comes out in November. This books challenges us to bring about the end of ‘better’ on this planet.
208
In terms of characters I wish I had created – just because I haven’t dealt with anything like them – I’m really impressed by characters who can endure over time, whether that be a long series run like a Harry Bosch, or a character who endures over generations and continues to please readers: Sherlock Holmes.
209
210
Class is considerate of others. It knows that good manners is nothing more than a series of petty sacrifices.
211
212
People on series are now given a lot more opportunities, sometimes more than film actors.
213
I got the chance to do things that I dreamed of when I was a kid: I got to travel around the world; I had my own ‘Goosebumps’ attraction at Disney World; I’ve been on TV and had three TV series.
214
Thus at the beginning of 1906 it seemed to be established that the emitters of the spectral series of chemical elements are their positive atomic ions.
215
I remember devouring the entire Hardy Boys series over one summer, enthralled by their bravery and cleverness.
216
We developed during the 1990s a series of budget process rules that helped us bring to heel these deficits, diminishing every year and moving the budget so into surplus.
217
Coming back to a television series puts you back in the limelight and gives you a platform for your ideas. If you’re not acting on a series, you don’t get the ability to communicate to people.
218
When you’re directing an ongoing series, the tone has already been set. So a director will come in and fulfill that tone – reinforce the characters and their behavior. The challenge is to find unique ways that you can visually tell the story while keeping the established tone and the pace and the characters.
219
It wasn’t one film that changed my life, but a series of decisions that brought out the best in me.
220
Life, it seems, is nothing if not a series of initiations, transitions, and incorporations.
221
As a child I was really into fantasy books with elves and goblins and swords, and I went through a phase for a few years when I was reading endless series. But in the end I became totally fed-up with all these sub-Tolkien rip-offs because they all end up doing the same old things and there’s no rigour to it.
222
223
The assumption that Washington could and would resolve Lehman Brothers without a bankruptcy, as it had Bear Stearns, was the single biggest mistake in the series of mistakes in 2007 and 2008 that led to the financial panic and the ensuing epidemic of job losses.
224
225
226
I built a series of supporters that had my back. I never abused that trust. You can’t cry wolf. You have to solve most problems yourself.
227
I’m proud of everything that I’ve accomplished since I was a little boy. That was my dream – to be a ballplayer. I didn’t dream to win so many Gold Gloves, or Silver Bats or play in All-Star Games or World Series. I was just dreaming to play the game.
228
The whole New Deal was in a sense just a series of public options, some more optional than others, that offered government as an alternative to the often-flawed private market.
229
When I’d written my ‘Silverwing’ series – I’d imbued the bats with full human awareness and vocabulary.
230
231
I never had one day that I didn’t want to be on the ice, because I always had an objective for that day. I had a rigorous plan and schedule in place that I had to adhere to. It was a step-by-step process of slowly but surely inching toward the Olympic Games and using every day as a series of goals to be accomplished.
232
We’ve had really good mainstream publicity for these books and both Wanted and Chosen were snapped up as movie deals before each series even ended so I’m honestly just pinching myself.
233
234
When I first started writing, I was in advertising at the time, I was doing most of my writing on weekends. I had studied most of the other series heroes and I figured it would be fun for mine to be different and put him in and around water. So I dreamed up Dirk Pitt.
235
I’ve worked with multiple directors throughout the ‘Saw’ series with a lot of conversations as they bring their particular installment to the screen. If I’ve been able to do anything throughout the course of these films, it’s been to help shape dialogue and to try to make things as delicate and as intelligent as I can.
236
If you had told me in 1997 that even 5 people would be waiting online for me to sign my new book in 2009, I would have jumped around like Joe Carter in the 1993 World Series. I love it. I can’t imagine why anyone wouldn’t like it. The only thing I worry about is carpal tunnel syndrome – my last tour almost caused it.
237
Ireland is a series of stories that have been told to us, starting with the Irish Celtic national revival. I never believed in ‘Old Ireland.’ It has been made all of kitsch by the diaspora, looking back and deciding what Ireland is. Yes, it is green. Yes, it is friendly. I can’t think of anything else for definite.
238
239
240
241
My choices in projects have all been character or role-based, and on a financial level, it’s obvious: as an actor on a TV series, I get a wonderful paycheck, and a consistent paycheck, which doesn’t always happen when you’re doing theater or movies.
242
To a New Yorker, a 1948 Indians World Series baseball signed by the whole team might be worth only $200 to $300, but to a Clevelander like myself, it might be, like, $1,000 to $2,000.
243
I’m one of those lucky guys making a living out of something I really enjoy doing. That’s a blessing. But you never know. What if my subsequent book series flops? I don’t come from a wealthy background, so I’d be left with no choice. I’d have to go back into banking!
244
245
Both the ‘Gregor’ series and ‘The Hunger Games‘ are what I call lightning-bolt ideas. There was a moment where the idea came to me. With ‘The Hunger Games,’ the lightning bolt sort of hit at a moment when I was channel surfing between reality TV and the coverage of the Iraq war.
246
247
248
Franz Kline, who became known for his black and white paintings, did a whole series of gorgeous landscapes and wonderful portraits that may still hang in Greenwich Village.
249
250
251
252
253
It’s always the great thing about being involved in such a legacy series such as ‘Star Trek’ is you’ll always want to know more about the characters that you love.
254
255
I played an artist in a comedy called ‘Rooster.’ It was a zany film by Glen Larson, a friend who produced several successful television series including ‘Magnum PI.’
256
If you go back to the Conan the Barbarian series, I really liked that.
257
258
Design is a series of creative choices – it’s a collaborative effort, an evolutionary process. You choose your fabrics depending upon what you want to say, then you work with mills to get those fabrics. Through the process, you realize what you want it to be.
259
As far as ‘Twilight’ goes, I’m in love with my character. I’m in love with the whole series. I love doing the fan conventions around the world, I love to travel. So wherever it fits in, I’d love to continue doing that for the rest of my life. Just meeting the fans who made everything possible from around the world.
260
261
262
263
I presumed the president was being truthful until a series of events undercut that confidence.
264
265
266
Wes Anderson‘s mind must be an exciting place for a story idea to be born. It immediately becomes more than a series of events and is transformed into a world with its own rules, in which everything is driven by emotions and desires as convincing as they are magical.
267
I watched ‘Who’ with a mixture of affection and exasperation through the eighties, always ready to cheer on the Doctor but seldom feeling that the series was playing to its strengths. Some of the adventures, revisited on DVD, turn out to be better than I remembered – others just as infuriating.
268
I am up for anything, but my favorite show in the whole world is this English series, ‘Skins.’ It would be awesome to be able to go on that somehow.
269

271
As I got farther and farther along in the series I did less and less preparation. I didn’t use outlines or sketches. I just had a vague idea of what I wanted to tell and then the dialogue just came to me as I was inking the page.
272
273
Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.
274
275
276
277
I’m very interested in writing an actual series, that doesn’t have too much to do with my music – a world I create that has characters in it. I’m just trying to get there by doing things that I want to do.
278
I actually have a young readers’ series that I wanna do, kind of in the same lane as a Harry Potter or Narnia or Twilight. I want to write stuff like that.
279
280
I rooted for the Milwaukee Brewers and its stars, Robin Yount and Paul Molitor. I went to a lot of games, including the World Series in 1982. The Brewers may have been a bad team for most of my life, but to have your team at its peak when you are thirteen years old is an experience I wish for every fan.
281
I really want to see the Cubs in the World Series. I really do.
282
283
The heart and soul of network programming is series programming, the weekly repetition of characters you like having in your house.
284
In fact, I had a series of offers which would have brought me a lot of money to make films and package TV programs. There were people who said to me, we’ll put a million dollars in your bank account tomorrow, which is a hard thing to turn down.
285
I graduated from university with a degree in architecture and then ended up doing a series of internships with different firms. And once I was in an office environment, I realized that at school what I was doing was 98 percent creative, 2 percent makework, but in the real world, it was the other way around.
286
287
It’s ridiculous. My life’s been a series of happy accidents.
288
Ultimately, I believe the only secret to a happy marriage is choosing the right person. Life is a series of choices, right?
289
290
I was the ball boy during the Mumbai Test of the home series against South Africa in 2000. I was playing Under-14 cricket.
291
I think any time you lose an Ashes series, especially with the hype and build-up surrounding it and the pride we have as Australians playing against England, that’s always hard to take.
292
Life is a series of commas, not periods.
293
294
295
296
297
Sometimes you can see a pilot, and then when the series starts, it’s different people. That’s always possible.
298
For starters, this country embodies something utterly unique: History’s first democratic empire. Beginning in the post war era, we have used free trade and democracy to create a series of interlocking relationships that end war.
299
300
The reason the social-networking phenomenon is something that I invested in early and massively – I led the Series A financing for Friendster; I founded a company called Socialnet in 1997; I founded LinkedIn; and I was part of the first round of financing in Facebook – it sounds trivial, but people matter.
301
My intention was to enroll at McGill University but an unexpected series of events led me to study physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
302
As soon as I finished the first book, I wrote a second, which I hope to sell this year, and I have just about finished the third book in the series. Two more are already outlined. I’m in this for the long haul.
303
304
I think the key that makes Airbnb is the fact that we’re a community, not just a series of commodities.
305
Together with script writers Sid Green and Dick Hills, we worked on the comedy ideas for this series.
306
I believed totally in the possibilities implied in the series. I never thought of it as fantasy. Far from it.
307
308
If you do an American TV series, before the audition you sign away the next five years of your life.
309
I didn’t cost the Series. I cost a game in the regular season.
310
Life it is not just a series of calculations and a sum total of statistics, it’s about experience, it’s about participation, it is something more complex and more interesting than what is obvious.
311
I therefore set to work, and after two and a half years of not inconsiderable labour I now have the privilege and the satisfaction of accompanying the early volumes of the series with this preface.
312
313
314
Almost all of my favorite shows are limited series. It just seems to be the better way to go.
315
316
A TV series is a long commitment.
317
318
I’m a workaholic. I love every movie I’ve been in, even the bad ones, every TV series, every play, because I love to work. It’s what keeps me going.
319
320
Things always happen in series.
321
322
When the violation of parity was discovered I began a series of electronic experiments to investigate parity violation in hyperon decays.
323
I never thought in a million years that I would do a weekly series.
324
325
326
327
I have no plans of doing a series of ‘Raja’ films.
328
A linguistic system is a series of differences of sound combined with a series of differences of ideas.
329
330
The thing with being on a series that runs that long is that the writers run out of things to do.
331
332
I remember taking my mom and dad to the premiere of ‘The Inbetweeners Movie’ and being really nervous. My mom was like, ‘Laura, don’t worry: I’ve watched all of the first series of the TV show, so I understand what this is going to be like.’
333
334
335
They say anything can happen in a short series. I just didn’t expect it to be that short.
336
337
338
Life is a series of punches. It presents a lot of challenges. It presents a lot of hardship, but the people that are able to take those punches and able to move forward are the ones that really do have a lot of success and have a lot of joy in their life and have a lot of stories to tell, too.
339
340
I’d love to do another television series. I really love the writing process, and as an actor I really like how much you get to examine in television.
341
I’d really been wanting to do a television series. I was looking for a comedy.
342
You know I grew up watching the TV series The Rifleman.
343
344
345
346
347
Life it is not just a series of calculations and a sum total of statistics, it’s about experience, it’s about participation, it is something more complex and more interesting than what is obvious.
348
Through the eight books in ‘The Treasure Chest‘ series, readers will meet twins Maisie and Felix and learn the secrets and rules of time travel, where they will encounter some of these famous and forgotten people. In Book 1, Clara Barton, then Alexander Hamilton, Pearl Buck, Harry Houdini, and on and on.
349
It doesn’t matter on ‘Big Brother’ how big you are, anyone can dominate the series.
350
351
There’s always that relief you feel when you’re working on your own series that you can actually make it to your planned ending and that your audience will still be there to support you – and that your publisher will still exist.
352
I had my first ‘Survivor Series’ in 1991 and I was fortunate enough to be an instrumental part of the shows I was on.
353
I feel like my career has been a series of glowing obituaries.
354
You can keep going on and on about the interactions of people, which makes it a great drama and great event, and you’ll always hold that special, but if you’re looking at a baseball moment, the feeling you get when you win the World Series by far exceeds anything else in the game that you’re able to do.
355
The ‘Classics Illustrated‘ series was an excellent primer in literature, and I also really enjoyed Zachary Hamby’s mythology books for teens.
356
On its surface, the HBO documentary series ‘Hard Knocks,’ about the New York Jets‘ training camp, resembles another HBO series, ‘The Sopranos.’ Both star the stout patriarch of a New Jersey ‘family‘ preoccupied with food, intimidation, and florid profanity.
357
I think that by following the route that I have tried to outline, one gets into a much more interesting and productive series of questions than those that result from saying simply that Chinese don’t like milk because they don’t like milk.
358
359
I am offered work all the time but not for TV series.
360
The beauty of any conspiracy theory is that because it can’t be proved, that just makes it more ‘real.’ It’s not a question of believing or not believing, really; it’s more a question of just accepting a series of probabilities that lead to an undeniable conclusion.
361
Well, I just finished starring in a new episode of the new The Twilight Zone television series.
362
Ultimately, I believe the only secret to a happy marriage is choosing the right person. Life is a series of choices, right?
363
I had an opportunity with Baltimore to make it to the World Series, and that didn’t happen.
364
I think American television changed world television in its reinvention of the series.
365
I have never been in an ongoing series before and after series two I realized the writer has absolute control of your life.
366
A sign to me is a one-liner, a symbol is very complex and my house is a series of symbols.
367
Even with the ‘Top Boy’ series with Ashley Walters… I’ve been talking like on the creative direction wave with Drake about the series. Making greatness with it. The whole style of what’s going on in London, the sound, is real. It’s an actual thing that actually happened. So it deserves to be on the telly.
368
It’s rare to work on a series without a writer. If you have a question about a line, then phone calls have to be made.
369
370
371
372
373
I’ve read the ‘Mortal Instruments‘ series; I was obsessed with those.
374
375
The days when the words ‘Hollywood actor’ framed Ronald Reagan like bunny fingers as an ID tag and an implied insult seem far-off and quaint: nearly everybody in politics – candidate, consultant, pundit, and Tea Party crowd extra alike – is an actor now, a shameless ham in a hoked-up reality series that never stops.
376
I would want to go to the future, 25 years in the future, and see if the Cubs ever win a World Series.
377
378
The ad revenues still go up because nothing dependably delivers the eyeballs that successful series do.
379
I just like the comic book sensibility. If I can turn them into films and TV series, that’s just icing on the cake.
380
381
One of the ingredients that made Cheers work so well was the great ensemble of actors we had. That’s the case with any good series.
382
383
Things have slowed down considerably since the new series has started airing and I am currently looking for work. It has been a nice year-long vacation nonetheless.
384
But after the spirit of conquest had changed the first governments, all the succeeding ones have, in general, proved one continued series of injustice, which has reigned in all countries for almost four thousand years.
385
I’m married now, so I have a life. I had to get a life. That’s one thing I really had to do, you know. You do that kind of work on television series after television series and you don’t have a life. So, that’s part of what I did while I was gone, I got a life.
386
We chose the actors thru a series of auditions when we started the show.
387
I love ‘True Blood.’ I love ‘The Walking Dead.’ Those are fantastic series.
388
389
390
People think of politicians having true power, but that’s less and less true. After all, they are often constrained or being edged into a corner by a whole series of contingencies.
391
392
393
394
I was World Series champion in individual and synchro for the first time which was awesome.
395
War is a series of catastrophes which result in victory.
396
The 2000s were the time when bromance became a kind of love that dared to speak its name. As a high-water mark of bro culture, nothing can ever top the MTV series ‘Bromance,’ with Brody Jenner and his search for a new BFF.
397
You know, as I do, actors who, having become worldwide celebrities thanks to a TV series, complain of their lot and declare themselves ready to drop it all.
398
I sort of was inspired by ‘Friday Night Lights,’ where it was a very different show, but similar in that they were both large ensemble dramas where you had many stories going on at once. I wanted to do a show that shared that element, and that’s really why I wanted to develop ‘Parenthood’ as a series.
399
People try to read a lot into what ‘digital’ means. It’s just another platform. There are very attractive things that happen if you invest in content – movies, TV production, acquired series, specialty genres, digital distribution of our magazines, sports rights.
400
Life is a series of commas, not periods.
401
I am almost always, when I’m at home in the evening after work, in a silk bathrobe I got from India. Like, I never take off this bathrobe. I have a series of Indian silk bathrobes that I love, and that’s what I rock all the time.
402
403
I am not interested in considering another TV series. This one was a wonderful experience which will be hard to top, and It’s caused me to turn down several good film opportunities because of the schedule.
404
The first series I wrote, ‘L.A. Candy,’ was always meant to be a three-book series, so when I started out it was all outlined that way and by the time I was done with the third book, I had become so involved and the process and the stories, I was a little bit sad to be done.
405
I think Hallmark is doing this really exciting thing right now, where they buy a series of books, they’re books for young adults, or adolescents, and they’re really fun Agatha Christie-style mysteries. I actually signed on for three of them.
406
It’s considered a coup to become a lead on a kind of cutting-edge television series. I mean, that’s a plus for your feature film career and for your career in general. There are no walls anymore between the two.
407
We were watching the first series recently, and it has a charm, a kind of amateur charm. At that point we didn’t involve ourselves technically at all – we just messed about and told our jokes – and it looks a bit like that.
408
Although there were only about 24 episodes made it seems to run forever. They take a couple of episodes and put them together, making a feature film once in a while. I had good fun making the series.
409
You play to win, to get that World Series ring, All-Star games and whatever comes with it.
410
411
I think it’s just a lot more pressure to make the scenes work when you’re doing a film, because when you’re doing a series you feel like, I have so many scenes, so many episodes, so if I don’t get it exactly right this time, I have another scene later. You feel less pressure.
412
413
I’ve had wonderfully lucrative offers to do another network series. I could do that again and have a very luscious retirement.
414
A career is a series of ups and downs, of comebacks.
415
I like to tell people that I have the best job in the media. All I do is hang around with heroes. I do that every week for my ‘War Stories’ documentary series – and when FOX News wants – I go off and cover the young Americans we send to places like Afghanistan or Iraq.
416
417
I would have loved to have a role in the HBO series ‘Deadwood.’ It was Shakespeare in the Old West.
418
The Architect is just one of a series of works which examine the confrontation of innocence and experience, illustrating the complex ethics of power that exist between reader and writer, critic and artist, the human and the divine.
419
You never say never, but I don’t think I’d want to do a long-running series.
420
Being on a television series is sort of life-altering on every level.
421
There are a lot of food choices in Kyochon, but I personally recommend the double fried chicken and the Soonsal series – deep-fried, boneless chicken breast strips coated in a special rice batter.
422
‘Heirs‘ is really a good drama. Everyone put out their heart and soul into this series, from the actors to the whole staff. That’s why I think we won awards for this drama.
423
We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.
424
425
426
427
My career’s consisted of all of those things that you hope would one day lead to being a series regular, and then your dreams grow from there. My career has been very steady, and I’ve been blessed in that I’ve been given everything that I can handle, at the right time.
428
429
430
431
Right now, I’d like to just continue on a series where I am doing good work with a balance of comedy and drama. That and do occasional features and movies.
432
I haven’t seen it this busy since I’ve been an IndyCar driver. So I think that’s a great kind of thing that’s happening for the IndyCar Series, in general, right now. But it’s an event that I’m very proud to be part of. I love it. I can’t wait to come back next year.
433
At Current, television is all we do – that’s our business. We don’t have amusement parks I have to worry about, we don’t have environmental cases against us, we don’t have a series of outdoor-advertising companies.
434
435
436
A lot of times when I’ve been offered film series and stuff, if they shoot in Los Angeles, I lose interest.
437
I’d been offered TV series over the years and never had any interest in doing television. I’m not a TV guy.
438
I would love to do something for TV… I wanna do ‘Kavalier & Clay‘ on HBO as an eight-parter. It’ll be so much better as a series, honestly.
439
440
A good night in is a series of documentaries.
441
442
443
I love my work. I’ve had three successful series, and I want to find out if I can make a fourth.
444
445
Disarming Iraq is legal under a series of U.N. resolutions. Iraq is in flagrant violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions.
446
The pilot is the wedding, and the series is the relationship.
447
I don’t watch the beginnings of many series; I don’t know why – maybe because I’m normally working.
448
After those first two BAFTAs, I didn’t really get offered anything, which makes you think, ‘Oh, no!’ And, after I finished the second series of ‘Broadchurch,’ nothing came up for six months, which really is a long time, and I got a bit panicky.
449
I have done a series in the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s.
450
To say that gender is performative is a little different because for something to be performative means that it produces a series of effects. We act and walk and speak and talk in ways that consolidate an impression of being a man or being a woman.
451
I read every draft of every episode of every series produced at FX.
452
2004 was a great year for Boston! The Patriots won the Super Bowl! Boston hosted its first national political convention! And – the Red Sox won the World Series!
453
454
455
456
The problem was to sustain at any cost the feeling you had in the theater that you were watching a real person, yes, but an intense condensation of his experience, not simply a realistic series of episodes.
457
I have been sent three or four scripts for television series, but there wasn’t anything I really wanted to do. I want to tell a good story, whether it’s a TV show, a movie, whatever. That’s really my No. 1 criteria.
458
Winston Cup and the Busch Series are two totally different leagues. You get put in different situations.
459
460
461
Listen, a cable series is a beautiful thing because there’s such amazing writing happening on television, and it’s a schedule that allows you to do a play or two. There’s a reason everybody wants that job!
462
And it is because a series of elements in Spanish life which operate today the same way as they did in the times of Blanco White made obvious my relationship with him, based on a similarity in Spain‘s condition.
463
464
Life is made up of a series of judgments on insufficient data, and if we waited to run down all our doubts, it would flow past us.
465
I love ‘Skins’. I was a huge fan of the British series. I love how everyone is freaking out about it.
466
467
It is clear to all that the animal organism is a highly complex system consisting of an almost infinite series of parts connected both with one another and, as a total complex, with the surrounding world, with which it is in a state of equilibrium.
468
469
470
I never like to stick to one media; whether it’s a TV series or feature film, I enjoy it and I like changing constantly.
471
There have been some brilliant and very successful standalone books that work in themselves and also seem to refresh a series. Anyone who writes a series lives in fear of it becoming stale, so you do whatever you can to keep it fresh – although it does feel a bit nerve-racking to write outside of your comfort zone.
472
I don’t want to be one of those great players who never made it to the Series.
473
Every once in a while I go off to do a movie or a television series and I take my art with me. I can stay in character when I paint.
474
475
476
477
478
Entropy theory, on the other hand, is not concerned with the probability of succession in a series of items but with the overall distribution of kinds of items in a given arrangement.
479
‘Rescue Me’ is the first book in a three-book series. Although, like all my series, the books are purposely written so that readers do not have to read them in order.
480
I would love to find myself in a position where I have to decide, ‘Gosh, do I want to be on a series?’
481
Like some of my other movies, ‘Conquest Of The Planet Of The Apes’ is also a very political film, and many critics still consider it even the best of all the Apes movies, because it conveys a series of political viewpoints.
482
I reluctantly left the series because a) my age. I’m 68 tomorrow and time is very precious for me to spend time at home with my family and especially with the grandchildren. They’re aged 7 and 5. After three years I became homesick for my home.
483
A dream acting role would be Matt Damon in the Bourne series. I would love to do something like that!
484
485
486
487
When I was nine years old, I wrote a short story called ‘How to Build a Snowman,’ from which no practical snowperson-crafting techniques could be gleaned. The story was an assignment for class and it featured a series of careful but meaningless instructions. Of course, the building of the snowman was a red herring.
488
It’s of course understandable that people want to know about actors in their favourite series.
489
‘Kung Fu‘ was never cancelled; I just left. I decided I had enough of it, and I thought I should do a movie right away, because I think when you leave a television series, it’s important that you establish the fact that you’re a movie actor really quickly, or you might never get that chance.
490
491
492
493
Working on ‘NYPD Blue’ and ’24’, those two series, I did full runs on those. It’s great work, but everything has to align. The producers have to want you; the network has to want you; there has to be great writing; and it’s not as easy as it may appear to the outsiders to make all those things align.
494
495
496
497
It was a lot of fun, and writing a series is comfortable. It’s almost like having a secure job.
498
One needs but to say that, in the case of an unfamiliar sequence of syllables, only about seven can be grasped in one act, but that with frequent repetition and gradually increasing familiarity with the series this capacity of consciousness may be increased.
499
500
I’m a regular part of the TV audience world, and I know that I like shows that I would watch. And this is a series that I definitely would watch. And some episodes are better than others.
501
502
I just love the hours of the theatre, I love the way it operates. I always say that when you’re doing a play it’s like getting a shot of B12, and when you do television for a long series you need a shot of B12.
503
My theme is, ‘The spirit of friendship is the balance of life.’ Not money. Not the World Series. It’s friendship. The relationships I have with people, that’s enough to keep me happy.
504
505
I wasn’t campaigning for a role in a Hollywood television series, it was a fluke. So you’ve got to have a measure of good luck, you really have, being in the right place at the right time.
506
507
I wrote for 10 years before I even started the ‘Percy Jackson’ series.
508
In television, the 60-minute series, ‘The Wire’ and ‘Mad Men’ and so on, the writer is the primary creative artist.
509
Conway Twitty was always our local hero while I was growing up. He had a series of good bands. I wanted to sit in, if Conway would let me. And he did a couple of times.
510
511
512
513
514
One person’s going to win, and everybody else is going to not win. So let’s not feel like we’re losers. Let’s utilize the cultural opportunities, get to know the other players on the other team, look around you, enjoy your world series.
515
‘The Invisibles’ by Grant Morrison is my favorite series of all time.
516
517
518
519
Doesn’t anybody ever want to talk about anything else besides ‘Star Trek?’ There were 79 episodes of the series; there were 55 different writers. I was only one of them.
520
521
Together with script writers Sid Green and Dick Hills, we worked on the comedy ideas for this series.
522
523
524
I would say to my colleague that the misery index, inflation and unemployment, when added together is the lowest it has been in the last series of Presidents, even going back to Jimmy Carter. So I think the Bush administration is doing a good job.
525
526
527
528
529
I taped my first series for PBS in 1982 at WJCT-TV in Jacksonville, Florida. The show, called ‘Everyday Cooking with Jacques Pepin,’ was about saving time and money in the kitchen – and it was a celebration of simple and unpretentious food.
530
531
I did a series called Ned and Stacey for two years for Fox back in the 90s. I was writer on it as well as a producer, and it was very important to me that there were no contemporary references.
532
The luxury we have when we do a series is that we go through a long journey, and it keeps a lot of information and things to be revealed.
533
Once he became a series character, I made the conscious choice that he would never act like a series character, never wink at the reader, never pull his punches. Better for him, better for me.
534
I’ve written some standalone novels, but a book series allows fans in. There’s much more intense involvement.
535
536
Now I won’t have to worry about the new series making it or not.
537
538
I remember the ‘Scary Movie’ series coming out for sure, and I was a big fan of those.
539
The Swords were still interesting but by then a cast of characters had started to appear and go on from book to book, and other things about the world began to feel constricting. And there were other things I wanted to do, so I closed the series up and stopped it.
540
541
542
One never wants to do anything that’s going to break that ‘sculpture of the character’ that’s been done so far, or make anything that’s been done so far become illogical in any way, so you always want to try to connect when you’re doing a series of films that has a continuous character.
543
I am such a ‘True Detective‘ fan. I was anticipating it each Sunday as it came. I’m kind of a sci-fi fan. I was really hooked on the ‘Battlestar Galactica’ series. I think I owned every box set of ‘Battlestar Galactica.’ I also really love ‘Bob’s Burgers.’
544
545
And the thing is, every time you start a new show or do a new series, you’re committing to another six years.
546
Inevitably any series that goes on too long will reach a point where it starts struggling for ideas, so I’ve always been really aware of getting out while the going’s good.
547
To me, a staircase looks like a series of dark and light horizontal stripes, which is exactly how you’d draw a staircase. So I know how the image is going to look on the page.
548
549
I find that as long as I’m acting it doesn’t matter if it’s for TV, or a series or a short film. I always have fun no matter what I’m doing.
550
551
It’s definitely one of those things when you decide to be an actor that it would be really cool to be in a Broadway show or a series regular on a hit show.

Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them – that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.
554
I shall miss all the people in it and the great fun we had doing it. I enjoyed playing the character very much. It was a very, very special character and a very special series. And the camaraderie of it all. I loved it.
555
556
There is a certain sense of loss when a series ends.
557
I first pitched the idea of doing a series of cartoons based on Bible stories. They didn’t much like it.
558
559
560
I feel like my life has been a series of miracles. I was in every sense a lost cause.
561
I’ve been amazed that it’s so popular with people. But it’s been fantastic. People are very excited when I walk into a place and they recognize me from the series.
562
The thing about reading is that if you are hooked, you’re not going to stop just because one series is over; you’re going to go and find something else.
563
564
565
I think readers are always patient. Look at the ‘Harry Potter’ series. Some have given up on this generation of kids as game and TV addicts, but lots of people spend lots of time patiently reading through hundreds of pages of dense prose. I think reading a comic by comparison is a lot more immediate.
566
If you are a fan of my BBC series ‘Great Continental Railway Journeys,’ you’ll probably not be surprised to learn that one of my great aspirations is to travel on Egypt‘s railways.
567
You know, it’s scary when you sign onto a pilot of a series because, as much as you want the series to go, you also want it to be a character that you’d be interested in playing for a long time.
568
Series finales have that responsibility to leave you feeling good about entire series. You want to feel like the viewer closes the book satisfied. And if you strike out on the finale it skews how you feel about the entire series.
569
President Trump, who made his name in the business world and built a brand as a successful CEO via a reality TV show that punished incompetence, was not just elected for a series of tough policy views.
570
I drive a BMW 1 series convertible. I love my Beamer.
571
I tend to not watch things that are current. And then if everybody swears it’s amazing then I’ll like watch the whole series in a weekend.
572
‘HIM’ is much more of a British, coming-of-age series, while ‘Stranger Things’ is very obviously a sci-fi drama.
573
I’m going to start work on developing a series for HBO, because I’m naturally given to episodic stories of considerable length. And I won’t have to listen to complaints about how wordy and long my work is if you can watch it on your telephone on the subway: You can make it conform to your day as if it were a book.
574
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s gubernatorial campaign raises a series of fascinating questions, the most perplexing of all being why an international star of his stature would ever want to run in the first place.
575
But I want to do good work, after this series.
576
My law enforcement experience has showed me first-hand the violent and psychologically scarring impact that can result from the series of dominoes that fall after an otherwise law-abiding citizen fails to pay a summons for a quality-of-life offense on time.
577
I love to read. My favorite book series is ‘Cherubs’.
578
For electronica music, David Linton has been doing this series called Unity Gain, which is pretty cool.
579
As for ‘Independence Day,’ we never intended to do any films in that series beyond the first one.
580
To say that gender is performative is a little different because for something to be performative means that it produces a series of effects. We act and walk and speak and talk in ways that consolidate an impression of being a man or being a woman.
581
I’ve always been taught that life is a series of chapters, and it’s all about moving forward and not carrying around baggage.
582
When you start working on a series, it’s almost too much work. It’s like a movie a week.
583
584
The biggest risk with a series that goes on this long is that you’ll get bored with the character.
585
Henderson had a thousand times more to do with the discovery of insulin than had Macleod. In the first place, he knew more about it. In the second place, he was consulted before every series of experiments, and he advised, criticized, or commended.
586
587
588
I didn’t come from any money, but even when I was on ‘Big Love’ – people think you’re on a series and you’re making bank.
589
The thing I do miss about the way some sequels were in the past was that each film felt like its own unique, complete tone. Now, sequels are tonal facsimiles of the ones before them, like a television series, whereas back in the past sequels would often be radically different from the ones before.
590
While ‘Twilight”s popularity was undeniable among both the teenagers they were aimed at and middle-aged women who flocked to the series in droves, Meyer has drawn her share of criticism for her writing. Some feminist critics assailed what they saw as Bella’s mooning over her vampire lover.
591
God wants us to know that life is a series of beginnings, not endings. Just as graduations are not terminations, but commencements. Creation is an ongoing process, and when we create a perfect world where love and compassion are shared by all, suffering will cease.
592
593
I turned my attention for a while to gamma ray astronomy and soon began the first in a continous series of experiments at the Savannah River site to study the properties of the neutrino.
594
Madonna is her own Hollywood studio – a popelike mogul and divine superstar in one. She has a laserlike instinct for publicity, aided by her visual genius for still photography (which none of her legion of imitators has). Unfortunately, her public life has dissolved into a series of staged photo ops.
595
I’ve had a long line of failed television programs, pilots that were never picked up, series that didn’t go very long. I’ve learned that there’s really nothing you can do. If it’s not in my control, I try not to worry about it.
596
Approximating involves making a series of educated guesses systematically by partitioning the problem into manageable chunks, identifying assumptions, and then using your general knowledge of the world to fill in the blanks.
597

602
No British TV company could ever make a series like ‘The West Wing’ about British politics. It would beggar credibility. No one could write it with a straight face, or perform it without giggling.
603
There is nothing better than to make it to the College World Series. All of the extra reps in the weight room, all of the early morning practices, and all the hard work spent the entire year makes it worth it.
604
If you had to point to one thing that made it less likely that the Red Sox would win the World Series, I would say it was those people that go to Fenway Park to watch the games. And then the media around it.
605
606
The ability of a television series to make adjustments is something you’ve got to take advantage of.
607
608
If I wanted to work financially, I would have made a series of different choices. I do get offered lots of movies which you could make a lot of money out of. And I always say, ‘Why would I do that, when someone else could do it much better than me? Why would I want to do an action picture? Why?’
609
In my column series ‘The Main Thing‘, I often talk about how Internet technology can improve the way people communicate – both within a business and between a business and its customers and partners.
610
Although I have to say, it’s become a lot harder for me since I won the world series because everyone wants to beat me. For example, bluffing is really tough now, because there’s always someone who calls me on the off-chance that they’ll then be able to say they read a world champion‘s bluff.
611
I love to work. I really enjoy getting up really early and driving downtown. I just really love the process of acting and being on a series.
612
I had done some TV movies that were great experiences but, no, I wasn’t looking to do a series.
613
614
615
Whoever envisions not one but two series in New York?
616
When you’re not the lead on a series, you work intermittently, even if you’re in every episode.
617
I made a series of wrong decisions about moderately recent books, and I’ve sold the rights to studios for ridiculous amounts of money and the films have never been made. That’s the saddest thing of all, because they’re locked up and no one else can make them.
618
619
I’ve never had a series that’s gone past 12 episodes.
620
Over the years, more than one reviewer has described my fantasy series, ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’, as historical fiction about history that never happened, flavoured with a dash of sorcery and spiced with dragons. I take that as a compliment.
621
622
Making a series can sometimes feel like you’re keeping a secret for months until it comes out; so when it finalizes in front of you, if you like the final product, it can be very exciting.
623
Well, I’ve been a big fan of comic books since I was a little kid. In fact, I used to write and draw my own comic books when I was on the old Lost in Space series.
624
I don’t watch TV series, but I watched ‘Friday Night Lights’ because I’m a sports head.
625
Life is a series of punches. It presents a lot of challenges. It presents a lot of hardship, but the people that are able to take those punches and able to move forward are the ones that really do have a lot of success and have a lot of joy in their life and have a lot of stories to tell, too.
626
627
I can understand the natural anxiety of readers when waiting for another installment of a favourite series, but I think it is much more important to get a book right than it is to have it appear on time.
628
629
630
I left acting for a couple of years to found my company, Wayfarer, and the first project I did was this documentary series I created called ‘My Last Days’ to remind us that our time is limited and to inspire us to do more and to be the best selves that we can be.
631
I wrote Steve Carell’s last episode. I think it was a really good episode, but there’s always a tension between what’s good for the series and what’s good for an episode, because the more closure you put on an episode, the more significant feeling it is.
632
I’d love to do a whole series of stories and have them collected into books.
633
We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.
634
Even 150 years of the first war of Independence was marked with a series of programs, but somehow the Jallianwala Bagh incident hasn’t been given the attention it deserves.
635
It’s a song that we sing after we win a Test match. We sing it after every one-day series win. It’s been passed down through the generations. It’s the culture of the Australian team.
636
637
For many people, Mrs. Brown has come from the middle of nowhere. But Mrs. Brown was first written for radio. I wrote it for a radio series in 1992. It was a five-minute piece for radio, and it’s been absolutely astonishing.
638
Wherever information gathers and flows, two predators follow closely behind it: censorship and surveillance. The case of digital money is no exception. Where money becomes a series of signals, it can be censored; where money becomes information, it will inform on you.
639
My all-time favorite movie ever is definitely the ‘Twilight’ series.
640
In truth, I’ve never been a big superhero fan. I don’t mind some of the movies, and a couple of the cartoons were alright – that Batman series from the early nineties where Mark Hamill voiced the Joker is sweetness. But largely, I’ve not really had much time for superheroes.
641
The most common and most important result of them is that the nature and size of the effect on corresponding series of different elements are largely an expression of the peculiarity of their atomic structure – or, at least, of the structure of the surface.
642
I’ve always liked adventure television. Pre-‘Survivor,’ I did a series on cable called ‘Eco-Challenge,’ an adventure race with experts mainly, and here we have ‘Expedition Impossible.’ I like the outdoors and I like doing something fresh for television you haven’t seen before.
643
We just sort of thought a Web series would be a cool thing to be able to send to our parents to show them that we were, in fact, actually doing comedy.
644
645
We all know that the ‘reality’ of reality TV is an artful construction, an effect not only of editing but of a Lorenzian rat-in-a-mirrored-labyrinth artificial environment which attenuates psychology into a series of territorial twitches.
646
When I’m writing the book I’m laughing at just how overblown the characters seemed. How full of himself he seems. But I didn’t get far enough in the series to really drive the joke of it home.
647
Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.
648
I have three dogs at home. Even after losing a series or winning a series, they treat me the same way.
649
It’s not good or bad, but closers have changed things. I don’t think you are going to win a World Series without one. Where would the Yankees be without Mariano Rivera?
650
Well, you know, I don’t think anyone who writes a television series has a master plan from the beginning, and knows all the character traits, and everything that’s going to happen.
651
I believe that stories find writers, writers don’t find stories. With the ‘Pendragon’ series, I actually had multiple story ideas and decided that instead of writing them individually, I would create a character whose journey would thread them all together.
652
653
If you go to pilot then you are probably going to go to series. That’s my feeling about it.
654
I’ve been working some really long hours for the last five or six years. Anybody who works on series television knows, and especially women because women spend probably two hours more than the guys with all their hair and makeup crap.
655
If I was at the final table at the World Series of Poker, that would probably be the most exciting thing I’ve ever done in my life. And believe me, the UFC, the announcing in the Octagon, is extremely exciting.
656
657
658
I was incredibly determined – I wrote short stories, I wrote the beginnings of novels. I wrote a little children‘s book and sent it to the editor-in-chief of the children’s division of Simon and Schuster and she asked me to write a little children’s book for a series she was doing.
659
I’ve always found the second book in a series is the hardest to write.
660
However, we couldn’t focus on the films much during the series because we’re dumb. Individually we’re smart guys, but together we’re one big dumb guy, and couldn’t concentrate on two things at once.
661
It’s my one aim, my dream to win a series overseas.
662
663
I go into any movie that’s historical fiction thinking, ‘OK, I’m here to watch a work of art, something delivering a series of opinions, and if it’s a good work of art, these opinions become so deeply embedded in complexity and richness that I won’t even be bothered by the opinions. I’ll make my own mind up.’
664
My life won’t be a series of either/ors – musician or actor, rock or country, straitlaced or rebellious, this or that, yes or no. The real choices in life aren’t that simple.
665
666
When I graduated college I had a series of just humiliating jobs that I couldn’t believe I was at.
667
I think it’s so important for young readers to find a book or series that ignites their passion for reading, especially boys, whose interest in reading wanes as they grow older.
668
This is my sixth series, and I’m burned out wondering if a show is going to change my life. Don’t get me wrong, I love when people recognize my work. But I’ve given up worrying about whether it’ll be seen by two people or two million or 22 million.
669
670
The only thing that’s changed is the competitiveness of the series. It’s only become harder to win in our series as the years have gone by. Competition breeds good things, and that’s what’s happened here.
671
When I wrote ‘We Can Be Heroes,’ I was just so excited about the concept of playing loads of characters, and a television series allows you to do that.
672
673
My life is a series of things that just happen.
674
But if you cover the World Series on the news or do a feature on an Ali boxing match then all of a sudden ears go up all over the place and people say what the hell are you doing. The reason for that is that we’re doing something that people are really interested in.
675
I’m working on a very long series of paintings based on desert folklore.
676
677
678
A series of rumors about my attitude, as well as derogatory remarks about myself and my family showed me that the personal resentment of the Detroit general manager toward me would make it impossible for me to continue playing hockey in Detroit.
679
I grew up a Phillies fan. Me and my buddies tailgated a couple of times when they won the World Series. I like just being in that atmosphere.
680
By far, the best moment of my big league career was when I caught the last out at the World Series.
681
Actors are programmed to see the worst. If you’re talking about an actor’s TV series, you say, ‘I loved you last night.’ And they go, ‘What about the week before?’ They immediately worry.
682
In the year 1915 a series of trivial incidents led some Chinese students in Cornell University to take up the question of reforming the Chinese language.
683
Moving to New York made all the difference in my creating this new series with Ellie Hatcher. I love Portland, and it’s always going to be one of my favorite cities, but it was getting to the point where, after I’d moved to New York, I couldn’t write as specifically about Portland any more.
684
In the first book of my Discworld series, published more than 26 years ago, I introduced Death as a character; there was nothing particularly new about this – death has featured in art and literature since medieval times, and for centuries we have had a fascination with the Grim Reaper.
685
I never thought in a million years that I would do a weekly series.
686
687
688
The safest general characterization of the European philosophical tradition is that it consists of a series of footnotes to Plato.
689
690
There are not a lot of places for an actor to explore what it’s like to be a woman in her 60s. There aren’t any films about it and there very few TV series about it.
691
The thing I love about being a novelist is that with each project, you invent a new world. You approach it with a different set of aesthetic and structural ideas, and you grapple with a different series of problems in figuring out how to tell the story. And yet there are certain concerns that stay constant.
692
693
I’ve been really fortunate to go from series to series to series.
694
I’ve been telling anybody who would listen that I wanted to do a series for the last 10 years. But I wouldn’t do it if I was just another cop pushing bad guys up against the wall.
695
696
‘A Rogue by Any Other Name’ is the first book in the ‘Rules of Scoundrels’ series, centered on a legendary pre-Victorian casino and her four scandalous aristocratic owners.
697
There’s nothing better than a team that comes out of nowhere and finds themselves in the World Series.
698
My life has been a whole series of accidents, some of them happy, some not.
699
Plays close, movies wrap and TV series eventually get cancelled, and we were cancelled in three season.
