The way you define yourself as a writer is that you write every time you have a free minute. If you didn't behave that way you would never do anything.

John Irving

The team needed a kicker and the offensive line coach gave me about a one-minute lesson.

Shaun Suisham

What seemed to be doable in July all of a sudden seems to drag and drag, and at the last minute, there's this crunch to meet shareholder expectations or the accounting end of things.

Marjorie Brody

For the most part, we don't know anything about the Master. We don't even know his name or biography, but we feel like we know everything about him. Why? Because Bulgakov so cunningly constructed him, we automatically add to him every minute without knowing it.

Marietta Chudakova

I love being busy and moving from one thing to the next thing. I am always trying to be as productive as I can every minute of the day.

Marissa Brown

I think I ran a 23-minute (4K). All these old people were beating me. I wasn't going to do that again.

Kristen Fletcher

These pre-trial hearings are often changed at the last minute.

Bryan Sierra

This is a crazy, crazy week. It's very hectic because lots of folks wait until the last minute to file. It's just human nature putting it off until the end.

Aaron Hall

You never know what you're going to run into. You might be looking into fishing lures one minute, the next you're looking into wheelchairs.

Jeff Warwick

The minute I found out about this tournament, I asked my agent to find out what I needed to do to get in. My excitement hasn't changed.

Michael Young

I think it was just kind of a last-minute decision each and every week.

Jay Davis

My coach thought I was feeling so good that I was just going to forgo my water bottle, but I actually didn't see it until the last minute.

Deena Kastor

When these 80-year old veterans climb into the cockpit, they're 19 again - for just a brief minute. It's hard to imagine what they went through. They are truly heroes.

Ray Fowler

We're doing all the hard things but we're not doing all the easy things. We need to rebound, play with heart and intensity. We can't just be a 20-minute team.

Candice Wiggins

It's definitely something we can lean back on. I can't describe what it's like [to see a teammate hit 3 after 3 like Ray did during that four-minute span in the second half]. I'm so used to it.

Will Sheridan

This will be our hardest qualifier this year. I want my lads to concentrate and show Malta from the very first minute that they do not have any chance.

Hristo Stoichkov

I'll never forget the minute that we made that observation.

Robert Hoffman

This trial is going to be a circus. I spent $850 on my cell-phone bill on top of the 1,200-minute plan I already pay for just answering phone calls.

Thomas Shaffer

We found a way to get out of there with a W and get on to the next game. We were ahead by 17 points a minute into the second half and had 12 straight fouls called against us.

Ron Kelder

The best job I ever had was serving as chief deputy in the district attorney's office. I loved every minute of it, I loved working with police. It was always my dream to go back. I learned so much.

Gregory Skordas

When you book ahead, you get your first choice, instead of just the leftovers. But if you're just looking for a deal and you don't care where you stay or when you go, the last minute may be better.

Bruce Rosard

I'm enjoying every minute. I see a lot of friends doing what I do at other schools, and they've never gotten close.

Craig Way

You don't have time to meet. We practice every minute we can and then we send them back up the hill.

Bert Williams

Burying Katrina is the theme, getting some closure, just putting it to rest for a minute.

Michael Stanton

This has been quite a trip. I loved every minute, but now it is time to move on.

Robert Noble

We cannot afford to lose anything, and the probability of that happening with four copies is minute.

Richard Boulderstone

When we do the product searches, we guarantee each person will get a 10- to 15-minute meeting with a QVC buyer. We know very quickly whether it's a product that's going to come across on QVC. ... If you can't get your message across to a QVC buyer in 10 minutes, you'll never get it across to a QVC customer in six or eight minutes.

Marilyn Montross

With every minute, I was buying time for the runners.

Joe Moreno

It's typical for Italians to do things at the last minute. We are also keeping back tickets to be sold on the spot.

Giuseppe Gattino

It's all edited and ready to go. All they've got to do is decide whether they want to use the 60-minute version, or the 90-minute version -- I did it both ways.

Jonathan Prince

I was hoping to go under (one minute) 29.5 and it is quite fun when the bike is working and the lap comes together.

Nicky Hayden

It takes less than a minute.

Nick Stathes

You have to be flexible for it to be really worthwhile. The smarter thing to do is buy your ticket last minute.

Johnny Josselyn

It was wild for a minute. We were just trying to keep our guys off.

Jimbo Fisher

I don't think for a minute that they suffered any real hardship. I am completely baffled by the compensation.

Gordon Robertson

A lot of things happen at the last minute when you don't give up. I think we've sent a signal that we're not giving up.

Rep. Dennis Baxley

And you can bet, ... fans will watch every minute of them.

Don Cherry

The free throws in the last minute just killed us. I think that just goes back to the fact that we didn't have enough gas.

Shirley Walker

It is clear that customers turned to the Internet for their last minute shopping needs.

Tal Zamir

I believe in God, but I don't pray every minute.

Madeleine Quayat

He seemed extraordinarily strong, and not for even one minute did we think he was not going to make it.

Lori Miller

Working with Martin Scorsese was an absolute minute-by-minute education without him ever being grandiose about it.

Cate Blanchett

We talked about hitting the ball hard. We got our bats going in that second game. It was extremely important to get at least one. After the first game, they were extremely disappointed. But we took a five-minute break and pulled our heads back up.

Jenny Meirowsky

I didn't feel good until there was under a minute left.

Craig Rasmuson

The truth is I hate cocktail parties when the only person I know is my supposed date, and he abandons me the minute we come in the door.

Mary Higgins Clark

You will be able to make a call from anywhere in the world to a cell or fixed line in India for as low as low as Re 1 per minute.

Sabeer Bhatia

We bring out the best in them, and they bring out the best in us. It's always a battle on the ice, a fierce competition. We're always scrapping in every minute of the game. It's pretty intense.

Krissy Wendell

We knew we were up against it from the first minute, even with 11 men.

Harry Kewell

When you have eight turnovers and you have the ball at mid-field with a minute and forty to go and you have a chance to win the game, that's interesting in itself. It shows the type of effort we got from all the guys and we never gave up, we kept competing.

Dean Gordon Brown

A banker is a fellow who lends you his umbrella when the sun is shining, but wants it back the minute it begins to rain.

Mark Twain

I loved every minute of it. But to say I had a little stress would be an understatement.

John Abell

It's a 40-minute game. It's too bad we can't play 20-minute games because it would have been a different story. We just didn't do things correctly enough the second 20 minutes.

Rob Jeter

I've rocked many a baby over there and loved every minute of it.

Carol Carpenter

For us that was Dec. 8, when we do our annual 20 percent off sale. For the big presents, folks don't like to wait to the last minute.

Lana Stanley

Every minute counts in stroke. There is treatment for stroke, effective treatment, but this has to be administered urgently.

Dr. Yousef Mohammad

A couple of the pumps have already dropped in gallons per minute. They typically don't fall until much later in the season.

Bret Whitmer

Being someone I'm not for a period of time and loving every minute of being in someone else's skin.

Jessica Biel

I don't know if it was a good life. He suffered a lot. I would take Drew back in a minute any way that I could get him, but I feel that's selfish.

Shannon Olson

It doesn't stop her for a minute. She's very adaptable.

Maudie Samiee

FDA's latest findings about mercury levels in canned tuna should end the debate over whether canned tuna is a safe and healthy food for all Americans. No one is at risk from the minute amounts of mercury in any form of canned tuna.

David Burney

Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them: A desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.

Muhammad Ali

All of them here are sub-four-minute milers and when those guys ran a sub-four-minute mile, a sub-four-minute mile was a big deal.

Alan Webb

We kind of put our team together at the last minute.

Justin Chandler

I read dozens and dozens of 10 minute plays. There is a little part of me in each and every one of them.

Robert Hodde

You can watch all the TV you want. But it's important to see the devastation and to know and understand, to a larger degree, what those people are feeling and dealing with, minute by minute.

David Snowden

Maybe we could convince everyone in Napa to take 50-minute showers.

Neal O'haire

When we came in as freshmen, we had hopes and dreams, but to be here right now is just amazing. We're just enjoying every minute of it, but we're also preparing for the Final Four.

Chris Kraus

Often, things happen at the last minute.

Tom Luddy

(He) just walked in, hugged the cheetah, was great friends with him. They were buddy-buddy in a minute.

Carroll Ballard

I hated every minute of training, but I said, ''Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.''.

Muhammad Ali

It it not good to see people who have been pretending strength all their lives lose it even for a minute.

Lillian Hellman

I tried to make it as brutal as I could, ... I've been dying to make this movie my whole life, and I enjoyed every minute of it.

Peter Jackson

That was the hardest thing, to find a song to cut down to a minute.

Donald Buchanan

We owe Michael a huge debt of thanks for pitching in at the last minute for Page.

Diane Raver

I've loved every minute of it. Coach (Lon) Kruger made me a better player and I'm glad I made this choice.

Dustin Villepigue

The minute I found out that Three Cheers was going out I called the Meriden postmaster that day. It's got to be two months ago.

Marc Rosen

Just the ugly getting uglier, ... I challenged myself to concentrate hard for a full 60-minute game and I was pleased with that.

Sean Burke

We were maybe another minute, maybe another steal, maybe another basket from being back in the game.

Andy Poplin

The show was really funny and charming, ... And I loved how it seemed like it was just thrown together at the last minute.

Dav Pilkey

That was the longest minute of my life. Adrian did a great job of coaching in the last stretch. We were just lucky to have the ball at the end.

Joe Coleman

They played hard every minute and that was good to see.

Bryan Martin

It was last minute and very lucky. But I got a great pass. We were frustrated because we knew we could do better.

Rachel Brown

It really does. After the first game, I was really impressed that we were able to do it. In every second half around the eight-minute mark it was like a surge just started. I'm glad it happened that way.

Hannah Kirk

We really didn't want to lose, and maybe we did get a little overexcited there for a minute. But there's nothing we can do about that. Everyone played hard.

Melissa Brown

It just sat up there for a minute, but then it fell off.

Carl Serrani

They don't want small initiatives coming out of the blue. They don't want last-minute tinkering. And we have to respect that.

Nancy Walser

It is a pity we lost (to the Brumbies) in the last minute. There is still a long way to go and we are very much in the hunt, but then we must win the next two games.

Victor Matfield

It is certainly strange but unfortunate for Alaskans because the difference is minute and the oil companies must be ecstatic.

Daniel Johnston

If they know that it's a 20-minute schedule, then be there a minute or two before.

Barry Dragon

With a good engine, it takes about a minute to cross. People make a lot of money in this business.

Velimir Dimitrijevic

This happens to us over and over again. We get things at the last minute. This is really frustrating.

Darlene Garrett

The idea was for students to be able to pull up, discharge passenger, run in for a minute and come back out.

Tim Michener

Hate me an hour, and then turn roundAnd love me truly, just one minute.

William Wetmore Story

I have a newborn at home and I work full time, so a 25-30 minute drive is out of the question.

Courtney Mansell

Hold it a minute. This is what everybody is doing at home. Why aren't we doing it for them?

Rick Wakeman

I was getting a little scared there for a minute.

Teresa Davis

It's a fad thing, a novelty -- it's like a pair of trainers, one minute they're in and the next minute they're out.

Suzanne Shaw

They had us down 2-1. And for a minute I thought we were going to drop our heads but we kept going. Overall, we didn't drop our heads and look how far it went. It had to go to kicks.

Rogelio Torres

This is a great comedy. It is just like any family. One minute they are fighting, and the next minute they are loving each other.

Linda Walling

She was tired and tripped. I knew she was OK and wasn't going to die the minute it happened. She's fine and in the van now, costing me money.

Owen Rinehart

We were signing up about one a minute.

Fred Quarles

Some schools can use their hallways for sprints, but at our place, it doesn't work. The minute you lose your track, you have to get creative.

Cliff Robbins

There was no turning back. The minute they saw that line, it was a done deal.

Darryl Silver

A corporate campaign will make that toast in a minute.

Jeff Toner

This one really hurts. We played as hard as we could and we gave it all we could. There were just some key possessions and some calls and things that didn't go our way. Guys stepped in and did what they could do. We fought the game all the way down to maybe the last minute-and-a-half and things just got out of hand.

Gerald Wallace

We are bringing in nationally-known professional comedians to come in a do a 45 minute to and hour set.

Shaun Harvey

Just the minute the FBI begins making recommendations on what should be done with its information, it becomes a Gestapo.

J. Edgar Hoover

We had some last-minute miscues and we ended up losing 47-53. Sometimes in a zone (defense) you can lose sight of shooters - and that's what we did.

Nate Johnson

Two things are as big as the man who possesses them - neither bigger nor smaller. One is a minute, the other a dollar.

Channing Pollock

I find television very educational. The minute somebody turns it on, I go to the library and read a good book.

Groucho Marx

You'd better beat it. You can leave in a taxi. If you can't get a taxi, you can leave in a huff. If that's too soon, you can leave in a minute and a huff.

Groucho Marx

I wouldn't say deflating, but I think if you watched the way we played the last minute out there, you would see how much we wanted to win this one.

Kurtis Foster

A lot of people in this market book at the last minute.

Jenny Dervin

I've heard it a hundred times. What you have is sometimes somebody will look and say, 'Wait a minute, I can do a little skimming here, and no one will know it.'?

Fred Engh

The girls did a good job too. They all improved their times by a minute. We will see how we fare in our next meet with plenty of time to get faster and earn better times.

Mario Garcia

It's a two-minute problem over 100 years.

Dennis Mccarthy

I get exhilarated when I do the floor. I feel a rush. I go out there, and I own it. For a minute and 30 seconds, this event is mine. If you do that, you're entertaining - that's how I look at it.

Lauren Herley

The last few days have been very hectic, but things are coming together. The entries are coming in strong and good. We're doing some small last-minute things, but the major work is done.

Patty Spector

I loved every minute of being Val but as I said before there were other acting muscles in my body that I wanted to use.

Joan Van Ark

Memphis is moving away from us. What was once an hour and 15 minute-drive now takes an hour and 45 minutes.

Bruce Burrow

The danger of buying at the last minute is that there may only be the dross left. A 40 per cent tax break is not much good if the return is going to be poor.

Justin Modray

He was tall and lanky, and he could reach all over the place, ... I enjoyed every minute with him.

Roger Morris

He said: 'Could you kindly sit down for a minute?' ... I said, 'Why, am I sick?' He said, 'You're going to be.' .

Joe Bugel

She was very upset. She had a goal, and breaking a minute is a milestone like the four-minute mile.

Al Marks

You can be on top of everything, and the next minute, you're going to be on the bottom.

Pam Grier

I'm proud of the girls fighting back and keeping with it. It was neat to see that they fought and came back. We could've folded up shop after that goal in the first minute.

Mark Albertus

On January 10, 1963, I was sworn in as a lawyer, so next January 10 I will have practiced law for 40 years, and I've loved every minute of it.

Johnnie Cochran

The boy seems to have been gone for just a minute. And she started frantically searching for him.

Bill Veteran

In the last minute-and-a-half we got a little sloppy on defense, but our girls did a great job on defense all night.

Joe Eckley

It's a minute and a half to do the exercises.

Craig Bertelsen

There was an officer who was literally on the scene within a minute.

Tim Reid

One minute I think, 'We're just looking for his body.' The next minute I've convinced myself well he's taken off somewhere.

Tami Erickson

We encourage customers who have not already done so to voice their choice today so they can avoid the last-minute rush that is often a characteristic of programs like this one.

Clyde Forbes

It's my hope that he spends every minute of the rest of his life without seeing the light of day and thinking about what he did.

Keith Henderson

I thought he did really good. I got him just under a minute and two.

Paul Mcgee

The sweet spot is 25 cents a minute. That will attract more calls. But BMW might want to reach you even if your bid is $1 or more.

Daniel Shifrin

We're there for every ankle shackling, we're there for every meal, we're there for lights on, lights off – literally from the minute they arrive until the minute they leave. This is a heady subject, but it's one we think kids need to know about it.

Karen Grau

I try to keep a three-minute difference with the lead guy on the boys team.

Justine Jeroski

We have enjoyed every minute of the tour so far - when you are in this part of the world you have to adapt very quickly.

Brian Bell

It was very slowly moving, starting out bluish in color and turning gradually into a deep red as it penetrated deeper into the atmosphere. It lasted about one minute.

Peter Jenniskens

The aircraft was cleared for takeoff early yesterday morning and made a 90-minute flight to Beaver Lake, about halfway to Davis Station.

Charlton Clark

We're confident in what we can do and I think the rest of the class knows what we're all about as well. I've enjoyed every minute of this long break but I'm happy to get back after it now. We're ready to race.

Rod Fuller

He was one of my idols growing up. Those guys every moment and every minute that they talk to you, you just sit back and take it all in.

Jim Thome

I'm sure scores will be going back and forth. One minute we might be up, one minute we might be down. But that's what makes it more interesting and more fun to watch, I think.

Ashley Postell

Any radiological contamination would be so minute that it would present no danger to public safety.

Scott Burnell

Normally it's day by day, but, seriously, it's minute by minute around here. I have no clue. I haven't had one person say anything remotely close to what's going on.

Cody Ross

We ran the two-minute drill great, but we didn't make a good decision on the goal line. Cam is still getting better at quarterback though, and I feel like our team is still improving.

Walt Smith

The minute I interviewed him I knew we had the man, but we didn't have any evidence.

Roger Butler

I don't regret if for a minute because he's serving his community just like his dad did.

Margaret Mcgowan

Montgomery is only about a 45-minute drive to the front door of our home, ... If I took the job, it meant I could go home every night.

Jim Allen

Heroism consists of hanging on one minute longer.

Norwegian Proverb

For us to have four boys under a minute is quite an accomplishment.

Chere' Moore

Jayme and Clyde were put together at the last minute and did a great job today.

Jack Hughes

I might still make some last minute changes due to the weather.

Rassie Erasmus

I threw him back. Then I held him on his back for a minute.

Kyle Avery

I don't want him taking every minute to talk to his agent and talk to me and talk to whoever. After tomorrow, we can talk differently about it.

Joel Maturi

There was no communication for less than 60 seconds. Jay Street took over in less than a minute.

Charles F. Seaton

We're never exactly sure (how many boats and RVs we will have) because so many people decide last minute. It grows each year, and we expect it to get bigger this year.

Tim Couch

I would rather have one minute at this age than a month at 21.

William M. Holden

The fact that we got that goal a minute later is what did it. If we didn't get that right back, this could have been different. It's like we had angels up there looking down that we did.

Tom Typrowicz

Lauren impresses me every day and every minute. It doesn't matter which end.

Terra Mcdaniels

Six out of six in the final minute; that's the difference. That's the difference.

Ron Jirsa

He doesn't stop for a minute of the day.

Betty Clark

Simon told The Philadelphia Inquirer. ''I had a great five years, and I enjoyed every minute of it.

Corey Simon

She's a high-strung, high-intensity individual. She's an excellent student, too. She's intense, she's very competitive, and as hard-nosed as any kid out here. She bangs and bruises, will play hurt, and will give you everything she's got every minute she's there.

Gene Watson

Coach always says you have to keep fighting until the game is over, if you are up 20 or down 20. We have to play hard every minute we are on the court.

Andre Heard

That's a big reason to buy this book. The minute this book goes away, you know they're going to steal Lockjaw, stick him on the moon and you're never going to see him again.

Dan Slott

He had a spare minute and he didn't want to waste it.

Jackie Livaudais

Holidays in general breed unrealistic expectations. The minute you start wondering is it going to be wonderful enough? it never will be.

Pepper Schwartz

That last minute was crazy. A lot goes through your mind, but the main thing was to keep composure.

Tyler Drinkall

People will stay home or go where they can smoke. Our competition is a five minute Metro ride away.

Carol Schwartz

I was living in Baltimore and had a 30-minute commute, but now I live in Charlottesville, and I only have to drive 10 minutes to the office.

Cynthia Payne

Farce is tragedy played at a thousand revolutions per minute.

John Mortimer

We?re here to save all those guys who are shopping at the last minute.

John Baird

At the last minute we decided to open it up to the junior athletes and some of them have been showing up the varsity athletes. It's been incredible.

Amber Glenzel

The team played very, very well. We played a 32-minute game and did what we needed to do from start to finish.

Sheila King

I've enjoyed every minute of it. I love the people there-I just decided it was time to hand it over. I think it helps to have experience from all different corners.

Waleed Rashidi

I probably would produce a little four-minute video mailer explaining exactly what happened and expressing remorseful feelings.

Britt Beemer

Everybody can identify with it. Everybody has traveled in a car, train or plane with somebody and knows what it's like to make last-minute decisions.

Bertram Van Munster

For me, it was just unbelievable to come out here today. I told myself to enjoy it and I did every minute.

Gilles Muller

The results are coming in minute by minute.

Apollinaire Malu Malu

It hurt for a minute, but now I'm ready to go. We're still in charge. It will just make it all the more meaningful when we do win it in St. Louis.

Drayton Mclane

I hate that we have to wait until the last minute to qualify people, that's a lot of pressure. Well, guess what? That's where they're at.

Tory Hauser

She did a great job today. We threw in some skills last minute, and she went for everything. We've got places for her even if she finished fourth and she knows she can fix some things, so she's just going to go from where she's at.

Beth Murrin

I'll be in the team for Wednesday's Italian Cup final. We've yet to decide whether it's on the bench or from the first minute.

Francesco Totti

A minute of perfection was worth the effort. A moment was the most you could ever expect from perfection.

Chuck Palahniuk

We're talking an eight- to 10-minute drive from the closing ceremony to the golf course. So her heart raced at basically 290 beats per minute for about 15 minutes.

Beth Daniel

This is an experiment that has been forced upon us and I'm grateful it's working. It is cruel and unusual punishment for a family to have the father die over a minute, innocent crime.

Michele Kubby

Fifty percent of Actors' Equity is female, but opportunities for classically trained female actors are minute.

Rebecca Patterson

My family are all coming down to the game tomorrow and although it is very last minute they are all excited.

Andy Taylor

I think about my work every minute of the day.

Jeff Koons

Well, there's no one at all, they do be saying, but is deserving of some punishment from the very minute of his birth.

Lady Gregory

It was a last-minute thing agreed to by both parties.

Dock Blanchard

The minute evidence of human to human transmission becomes clear, the hysteria in the media will go through the roof. We have to have access to sober and realistic information.

Donald Donahue

Too bad the second quarter had to end. We would have liked to have a 10-minute quarter there because things were going our way.

Chad Meadors

There are line issues no matter what. A lot of tailgaters come in at the last minute.

Derek Boyko

We play for 40 minutes. We didn't take any minute off.

Folarin Campbell

Every minute dies a man, And one and one-sixteenth is born.

Charles Babbage

I just believed him, ... I never believed for one minute that I'd be convicted or sitting here (on death row).

Michael Wolfe

Once again we got the last-minute advisory. Well, look, we've all been talking about it in terms of May. It seemed like the best compromise.

Rick Caporale
