8

10
With a lot of shows, what you’ll see happen is they start off really well, and they’re very original, but they become sort of a version of themselves. They stand outside the show… they become a cliche of the show they once were. That’s the whole ‘jumping the shark’ thing.

21

I think fearless is having fears but jumping anyway.
32

When I was five-years-old I was jumping off two-story buildings.
36

39
I’ve always put my horses, dogs, and pig before my own needs, so I was well prepared to put my son first. I’m used to waking up in the middle of the night… no matter how tired I am, jumping up to take care of my animals. Now, I do the same for my son.

46
I’m jumping on a trend to try to engage my younger constituents. They need to know that a lot of what’s happening now will impact their futures. If taking a ‘selfie’ with the chair of the SEC, Steny Hoyer, or Alzheimer’s research advocates, gets their attention, then it’s worth it. Plus, it’s fun.

56
The only exercise I excel at is jumping to conclusions.
57

Baseball moved too slow for me. I wanted to be out running and jumping.
63

As a director, there is nothing more fun than seeing an audience screaming and jumping. You are the ultimate puppet master, controlling the emotions of the audience.

67
I know the rigors of network news. I didn’t want to be jumping on an airplane twice a week. I didn’t want to be tied to my pager and my cellphone.

69

86
I remember, once I was stressed, with an upcoming paper deadline. That little Microsoft Word clippy guy would show up in my face, jumping around and asking if I needed help.

87
Oh I’ve done bungee jumping. Skydiving, I have motorcycles that I ride. I’m a little bit of an adrenaline junkie in that way.
88
I do freestyle jumping. Been doing since I was eight years old and can’t quit. I’m addicted. I’ve broken many bones, but I ride with confidence. It’s my thing – there’s no high on earth like it. It’s my hobby and I really enjoy it.

I am classified as a disabled veteran. The reason I’m disabled is because I have wounds and injuries that I got while on active duty… from parachute jumping to combat to gunshot wounds, all that stuff.
92
I feel like, if the guys can look at me in the huddle and see a calm and collected face, that they’re going to relax a little bit. The way I look at it, leadership and being that guy is, don’t be someone you’re not. Don’t be a hoorah guy jumping around and clapping your hands if you’re not that guy.
93
I’ve had hundreds of challenges at Traveller gatherings. They get a few beers in them, and they start thinking they are Tyson or Ali: throwing punches, swearing, and jumping around with their big fat bellies. I’d love to knock a few of them out.

That churning in your stomach on the morning of a game, I’ve missed it. That adrenalin rush, I can’t help getting involved. I can’t watch myself on TV jumping around like a madman. But you know what, I wouldn’t change any of it.
97
There are two types of paparazzi. The ones who hide who get you with your mouth hanging wide open or jumping up and down like an idiot on the street. I much prefer them to the ones who come out and follow you.
98
Plyometrics. Hate them. Enough already. Jumping around, using your own body weight is so hard to me. How did we do it as kids?

109
Something that’s Crunk is off the hook. It’s popping, it’s going down if it’s Crunk. A football player listening to his Walkman as he’s getting ready for the game, jumping up and down, he’s Crunk.
110
I think because I’m so naturally happy and unaffected and open, people thought I didn’t take the jumping seriously. You’re up that high, believe me – you take it very seriously.
111
We used to say, ‘I don’t wanna be jumping around and going crazy when I’m thirty,’ you know? Even Mick Jagger said, ‘Well, I can’t see myself at forty jumping around.’ Well, here we are, you know?
112

113

118
If we’re just going to have contenders fighting just to fight, that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. Then I might as well just start jumping around divisions too because there’s a lot of fun fights for myself in other divisions that I think I would love to entertain.
119
I’m very caring with animals. I think patience is a big deal, because animals are always jumping around. I love to take care of people, so I think I’d be a good vet. I always wanted to be a vet when I was little.
120
I still remember when I was 18 and my life was completely different. I was in my apartment, and I got the call that I got Stiles for this pilot. I was just jumping around with my roommates, freaking out. It’s crazy to think about.
121
Jumping on the trampoline for even a half an hour is a really good workout. You get really tired. The next day, you’re feeling it. And you really have to use your core. If you don’t, your lower back hurts the next day.
122
I’d be willing to do anything once. I did live bass fishing on TV. I’ve done horse jumping… so clearly I’m not very picky.
123

I hated my early videos. I really did. I hated ‘The Rhythm.’ Hated it. It’s not my vibe to have lot of white people jumping on trampolines.
125
The second I walk onto the set and I know that there’s a camera and I know that there’s a David Twohy behind that camera, there is zero pressure. There is just me jumping into a pool called ‘Riddick.’ It’s the most free I am. It’s like channeling something.
126
I’ve tried everything other than jumping out of a plane, but nothing gives you an adrenaline rush like racing a car.
127
I just love jumping into someone else’s life. It is a relatively cheap way to experience things you would be too scared to contemplate in your own life.
128
When you’re jumping, it’s just an aggressiveness, but I think the exhilaration and the fun comes after you make the bar and you’re falling. That’s the best part – a few seconds to celebrate and relax.
129
When you see a crowd of people jumping up and down at a pop concert, all gloriously in the moment, I don’t think you’ll ever see a comedian there. They’ll all be standing at the sides, looking at how it all fits together.
130
I could totally see myself limping down the aisle when I’m 60, jumping off the top rope and breaking my hip. I could be a hilarious geriatric wrestler.

136
I’m just disappointed the folks never took a picture of me when I was five years old jumping off the barn into a haystack with my Superman cape.
137
‘Speed’ and ‘Point Break’ were a lot of running and jumping, and then ‘The Matrix Trilogy’ had a lot of fights and wire work and green screen elements.
138
If your agent or publisher is jumping up and down at the thought of your novel, it’s because they’re picturing the movie poster on the side of the bus.
139
I feel like I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be, which is both settling and terrifying. The roller coaster is going, and there is no jumping off at this point unless I just go nuclear. It’s a really interesting part of the whole journey.
140
Happiness is like a cat, If you try to coax it or call it, it will avoid you; it will never come. But if you pay not attention to it and go about your business, you’ll find it rubbing against your legs and jumping into your lap.
141
I joined the international stage quite late. I didn’t do many of the youth age groups, so to come into the senior team and to be offered a Nike deal – a very, very low Nike deal to start with – but I was jumping up to bite the woman’s hand off to sign the piece of paper.
142
I don’t like bungee jumping, but I do like skiing.
143

144
It took me a while to get used to moving and jumping in the sand. It takes a lot more effort in the sand.
145
Sometimes a poem should just be about a girl jumping rope. It doesn’t have to be something that is imbued with more despair.
146

147
When I was younger, I remember there was a really famous book, and it was called ‘The People Could Fly.’ And so this idea of, kind of like, black characters kind of jumping into space and kind of the challenge that they presented to gravity I thought was really interesting.
148
Jumping isn’t as important to my training as you might think; I’m only in the sandpit once a week. There’s a high risk factor of injury doing it, so instead, I rely on my progress in the gym to judge how far I’ll jump on the big day.
149
I got attention by being funny at school, pretending to be retarded, and jumping around with a deformed hand.
150
Rabid fans were literally jumping into the camera.
151
In most every other country, ‘body flying’ more commonly known as BASE jumping is legal and looked upon as a beautiful art.

152
My whole life I’ve always innovated the gear to match my pursuits. I’ve innovated the best climbing gear, the best slacklining gear, and definitely the most advanced BASE jumping gear.
153
I love that, even after jumping through hoops forever, I can still get that buzz, that hook. That’s very healthy, but it’s bittersweet, too, because if you don’t get the part, you have to deal with the disappointment. I don’t think I’ll ever negotiate those peaks and troughs wholly healthily.
154
Write the best book you can, the one that demands to be written, no matter what genre it is. Even a trend the trades tell you has gone stale can be revitalized by a superb piece of writing. It’ll never be revitalized by someone jumping on a trend bandwagon.
155
I made a series for ITV, just after I retired from Tests in 2009, called ‘Flintoff Versus the World.’ The idea was that I would attempt a series of extreme sports – rodeo riding, jumping out of aeroplanes, paragliding, cliff diving. I thought, ‘Yeah, it looks fun. It’s six weeks having a laugh.’
