Here, we’ve compiled a list of the best Monday Quotes from famous authors such as Jennifer Love Hewitt, Stephanie McMahon, H. Allen Smith, Eva Marie, Dean Ambrose. Let’s look at these pieces of wisdom. We definitely have something to learn from them!
1
I’m not into ‘Let’s go out with one guy on a Monday and another guy on a Wednesday’ – that’s just not me.
2
‘Monday Night Raw’ has been a huge part of my life, and when you think about it, I mean, life imitated art. That is how I met my husband.
3
On Monday mornings I am dedicated to the proposition that all men are created jerks.
4
I love the fact that ‘Total Divas’ reaches a different demographic than the normal fan base or audience that typically watches ‘WWE Monday Night Raw’ or ‘SmackDown.’
5
It’s such a high-pressure form of live entertainment that I found, once I got out there, being on a movie set isn’t that different from being on ‘Monday Night RAW.’ It’s all stuff that I was prepared for.
6
I learned a lot about the prep Monday through Wednesday with my coach.
7
A lot of people tune in to ‘Monday Night Raw,’ and they can hear these boos or these mixed reactions, but they’re not there for our Friday live event show, our Saturday show, our Sunday show. I get to experience a lot of very supportive nights where everybody is on my side.
8
Let’s face it: when we were crazy into wrestling, there were 20 million people on Monday nights watching wrestling. So what you have are 17 million lagged wrestling fans. People who connect to it somewhere, but haven’t really found an inspiration or a cultural connection to it.
9
I like to think I’m like the guy who goes to the office Christmas party Friday night, insults some people, but still has his job Monday morning.
10
To this day, while maintaining a healthy respect for the Giants and Jets and other teams I cover, I admit to checking the results every Monday to see how the Bears did.
11
I also hate those holidays that fall on a Monday where you don’t get mail, those fake holidays like Columbus Day. What did Christopher Columbus do, discover America? If he hadn’t, somebody else would have and we’d still be here. Big deal.
12
I like to write scenes in the middle of the night. We could change every word of ‘Family Ties’ between Monday and Friday.
13
The ‘Hey Monday’ songs were always glammed up to be this big production, and I definitely want there to be some bells and whistles like synth or drum loops, but for the most part, I want a simple yet powerful production.
14
Now I belong to this fantastic group called The London Writers Salon, which runs Monday to Friday with sessions in London, New York and L.A. and you can log in to them all and basically write in the company of 300 other people, with nobody chatting.
15
The facts are, the reality is, you can’t really enjoy it. You win a football match and by the time you get to Saturday night, having a beer or a Chinese, you’re already thinking about Monday morning, the next game.
16
I don’t believe we have a professional self Monday through Friday and a real self the rest of the time. It is all professional, and it is all personal.
17
At one time, watching football was an event. Monday Night Football was a big event.
18
Telling someone you have a web series is the same thing as telling someone, ‘On Monday, I start work at Chipotle.’
19
It’s pretty much the same routine every day. Come in Monday, bags and running. I like to get a run up in the morning with my brother and my sister and when I come in I’ll do another one.
20
From 1971 onwards, the Memorial Day holiday was officially observed on the last Monday in May and became the unofficial start of the summer, with barbecues, blockbuster movie openings and mattress sales.
21
After the fifth show as Hogan, my radio appearances had shriveled down to two a week Monday and Friday. One afternoon I stood before the camera, and I was so tired I couldn’t remember a line. The next morning I said goodbye to radio or a while.
22
I hadn’t worked for a year when I had my Prison Break audition and it was the easiest audition I’ve ever had. I got the script on Friday, went to the audition on Monday and got the part on Tuesday. I was shooting the pilot a week later. I didn’t have time to be nervous – it happened so quickly.
23
I obviously take a lot of pride in what I do on the football field, because that has the ability to influence a lot of people. That puts smiles on people’s faces. That gives people a pep in their step on Monday morning when they go back to work.
24
I got a tiny part in a play, auditioned for another one and got that as well. Not only that, the first finished on the Saturday and the other started on the Monday which is like an actor’s dream!
25
I hate recording all the shows for the week in one day, because I want to be able to mention current events and pop culture. If Madonna punches Britney in the face today, I want to reference that on ‘Wine Library TV’ tomorrow. Monday’s episode is always the best, because it’s hot off the press.
26
NXT is its own kind of animal, and you’re never quite sure how much of that transfers over into WWE and into Monday Night Raw.
27
He wasn’t sure exactly which day, but what’s noteworthy about that is that is also before Valerie Plame is first identified in the Robert Novak piece that ran on Monday, July 14.
28
I play tennis five hours a week, from Monday to Friday, for one hour every day. I like to be fit. If I can’t exercise, I feel bad – I need to sweat and run to feel like I’m in good shape.
29
I do an hour of cardio every day without fail, and I lift on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
30
I won’t miss Monday morning rehearsals in a freezing studio at 8 A.M. I will happily never do that again.
31
I grew up watching my dad scout games live. They played on Saturday. Sometimes they wouldn’t get the films until Monday. Sunday air shipping from wherever the college team was located – Starkville, Mississippi, or wherever the film was coming from. It took two days.
32
Coaching was always intriguing to me as a kid. Watching ‘Monday Night Football’ with my dad and hearing him talk through the game management and watching the Tom Landrys and Don Shulas on the sideline was more intriguing to me than watching Troy Aikman or Dan Marino throw the ball.
33
We usually break our records every Monday, so we’ll see what turns up tonight after midnight. Next month it’ll probably be higher, which is always weird.
34
There are a lot more TV sets in use on Monday night than on Sunday afternoon.
35
Monday though Wednesday I am in the gym twice; then I have school at night. Those days are hard. The other days are training and writing essays. Time management has been key.
36
The cloud that descended on Black Rock on Monday was not for the past but the future. How much will this debacle chill the pursuit of other risky investigations?
37
My God… What are the headlines going to be like on Monday if the Yankees don’t make the playoffs?
38
On a typical Monday I swim from six until 8am. I go from there to the gym and do a session from nine until half 10. I get home about 11ish. Take a nap and have lunch. Swim from half three to half five. I get home at half six. Have dinner.
39
I have a day job Monday to Friday. I work at a record label in Brooklyn called Ba Da Bing. It’s a great indie label and I listen to music all day. I meet people online and find out about the cool new music blogs.
40
I’m going to always bleed the red, white, and blue. I represented the U.S. in the Olympics; I love my country. But the U.S. fans will love you on Monday; if you lose, they’ll hate you on Tuesday. If you win, it will be back to loving you on Wednesday.
41
When you think about the impact and the legacy that ‘Monday Night Raw’ has had on the media, entertainment, and sports worlds, it’s significant.
42
It’s not trickle down economics. The problem that the president has is that he’s rudderless on the economy. I mean, he doesn’t quite know what to do. It’s a wake-up on Monday and try to figure it out. It takes time to turn a supertanker, so you need to know where you need to go.
43
Every Monday night, there was a scary movie on Spanish TV, so my parents used to send me to bed. I remember lying there, listening to the TV, and imagining the movie in my head. And so probably the scariest movies I ever saw in my life were the ones I imagined.
44
Before the first year, nobody gave it a chance. Now, 36 years later, everybody knows Monday Night Football.
45
I want to be in the booth any day – Sunday, Monday, Wednesday – it doesn’t matter to me. I’m hooked. I love it.
46
‘Monday Night Football’ is a competitor to ‘Monday Night Raw.’
47
The Times’ new credibility committee report that was issued on Monday very specifically said they will be putting in a policy that reporters must get permission from their department heads to appear on television, which I think is a really good thing.
48
I think my real depressions started when I was about 16 and doing The Patty Duke Show. I would go to bed at about 10 o’clock on a Friday night and not get up again until 6:30 Monday morning.
49
I wrapped that Monday and started on my third episode for Miss Match on Thursday of that same week and we just wrapped yesterday cause it was split over the holiday.
50
Being on Raw every Monday is obviously important, but the pay-per-views are the big shows: that’s where everything comes to a head, and I want to be a part of those as often as possible.
51
When I did ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’, I had the idea on Monday and the following Tuesday it was in budget at Paramount. I couldn’t walk.
52
I spent my 20s making film after film, often in very adverse conditions. You’d fly back from somewhere – Beirut, the Falklands, South Africa – on Saturday, and you’d have 24 hours to cut your film, and it would go out on Monday night.
53
I work on a musician’s week, so Monday is Friday. By the time Thursday rolls around, you stay in, and you work, and you don’t go out because it’s horrible.
54
I actually think the whole concept of retirement is a bit stupid, so yes, I do want to do something else. There is this strange thing that just because chronologically on a Friday night you have reached a certain age… with all that experience, how can it be that on a Monday morning, you are useless?
55
I’ve been fascinated by the Internet from the very start. In 2001, I had made a funny black-and-white film called ‘How to Dance Properly,’ a short video of me dancing to a Madonna song. I sent it to 17 of my friends on a Thursday, and by Monday, one million people a day were logging on to view it.
56
My creative process is a bit manic at times, to be honest. I wake up Monday and Thursday stressed because I don’t have a video. I usually – with the exception of maybe a handful of videos – wake up, write the video, shoot the video, edit the video, release the video all in the same day.
57
I’ve had two cancer bouts in my years on the Court, and the first one, Justice O’Connor told me, ‘Now, you do the chemotherapy on Friday because you’ll get over it during the weekend and you can be back in court on Monday.’
58
I graduated on a Friday. By Monday, I was doing Shakespeare in the Park.
59
And it was only released in London last week, so when I go back to England Monday or whatever, I am expecting heaps of adulation. I’m hoping there is. If that doesn’t happen I will be disappointed.
60
The projects I have done on television, they’re sitcoms, situational comedies. The problem is, maybe because they go on every day, Monday through Friday, one-hour format, maybe that’s why they’re labeled as a telenovela. But technically speaking, they’re sitcoms because they’re situational comedies.
61
I think the height of ridiculousness was when I was playing Elizabeth in ‘The Golden Age’ while preparing to start shooting ‘I’m Not There.’ I literally finished filming Elizabethan grandeur on Friday, flew to Montreal, and started being Bob Dylan on Monday.
62
There are pros and cons of experience. A con is that you can’t look at the business with a fresh pair of eyes and as objectively as if you were a new CEO. Fire yourself on a Friday night and come in on Monday morning as if a search firm put you there as a turn-around leader. Can you be objective and make the bold change?
63
My agent said that every Monday after an episode of ‘Entourage,’ at the staff meeting at the agency, that’s all they do is talk about the episode the night before.
64
In middle school, I had a teacher who regularly reminded students of the Monday night Young Life meetings he sponsored; on Tuesdays, he’d spend the first few minutes of class palling around with the chosen ones about all the fun and fellowship they’d experienced together.
65
I can’t count how many times I’ve heard a wrestling fan say they don’t have enough time to watch ‘Raw.’ Maybe it’s less about not having the time to watch a three-hour show, but it’s more about the time and the patience. You can usually sum up your three-hour ‘Monday Night Raw’ in a five-minute conversation.
66
Almost every Monday I have a charity thing. I like that. I do.
67
For sheer excitement, a weekend in New York is unbeatable. Arrive on Friday morning, leave on Monday night, and don’t worry about jet lag – just buzz for four days.
68
In New York it seems like there’s no Monday or Saturday or Sunday. The town is always moving. The vibe is great.
69
I want to be the Letterman of metal. I want five nights a week, Monday to Friday, 11 to 12, live. I always shoot for the moon.
70
I love Sunday night after the game – you win, you go to the parking lot, you grab a beer, hang out for a little bit. Then I can’t wait to get home and watch the game on my iPad. I love getting in Monday, and I can’t wait to see what the team we are getting ready to play is doing on third down.
71
I used to conduct the last opera in Berlin on Sunday, get on a plane on Monday to Chicago, and start a rehearsal that same night, if it was a performance week.
72
I definitely have a relationship with God for myself, and yes I grew up that way, and I choose to keep the relationship that way. It’s real; that’s my balance. Sundays, I was in church, and Monday through Friday, I was with the knuckleheads having a little fun.
73
Sitcoms always made the most sense to me. I grew up watching them every day with my dad. Every Monday, Tuesday night, we would be sitting in front of the television watching any kind of sitcom. I connect with that more, but I love to do whatever kind of role.
74
Unai is very calm, composed and extremely detailed in what he expects. From Monday through to Friday, every single training session is very carefully planned.
75
A freshly pressed suit is a miracle when you’re travelling. When your suitcase has turned all your clothes into creased rags, and you’ve crossed so many time zones that you can’t tell a Monday from a Thursday, putting on a freshly pressed suit for breakfast is like spending a week in a spa.
76
It’s really exciting to be able to represent the cruiserweights and go to Monday Night Raw. I grew up watching Monday Night Raw, and it’s really a big dream of mine to perform on that stage.
77
The thing that stood out above and beyond all the experiences was this relationship with the nine-month-old baby. On weekends, I’d be thinking about going back to set on Monday just to see the baby.
78
Some days I have off like Thursday and Sunday but typically Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday are dedicated to training if I’m in fight camp.
79
We all need to start making some changes to how our families eat. Now, everyone loves a good Sunday dinner. Me included. And there’s nothing wrong with that. The problem is when we eat Sunday dinner Monday through Saturday.
80
If you didn’t relax away from your work, you’d tear your hair out in the middle of the night worrying about the next game when it’s only a Monday and you’re not playing until Saturday.
81
I don’t think most rock stars are particularly calculating. I don’t think they sit there and think, ‘I will do this; therefore, on Monday, I will sell another 200,000 records’.
82
I miss being on the road. I miss being in front of the fans of the WWE Universe. I miss being on RAW every Monday. I’m just really, really itching to get back.
83
People can be great competitors on Sunday and mates on Monday.
84
With the Monday Night Wars, it was almost a pay-per-view every single Monday between the two factions because they were trying to throw everything but the kitchen sink to win the ratings war.
85
Something that’s interesting with season two of ‘Total Divas,’ Fandango and I’s relationship has been on the surface level, as far as WWE programming with ‘Monday Night Raw,’ ‘Main Event,’ ‘Friday Night SmackDown.’ You see us on camera and that’s about it.
86
Sitcoms are more like stage drama than anything else on film – more than a one-hour and certainly more than a movie. You get a script on Monday. You rehearse all week. And on Friday, you’re on.
87
The fact that we are watching a live ‘Monday Night Raw’ every week is due to ‘Nitro.’
88
Training is full-on. Some days I really don’t want to get out of bed and hit that track again. Sunday and Monday morning sessions are always horrible. But who really looks forward to going to work on a Monday morning?
89
It’s football all day on Sunday. I wish we had football every day; that would make me way happier. Why can’t we have that? You’ve got all these teams! Why can’t we just play a Monday game, a Tuesday game, a Wednesday game?
90
How many people just get up on Monday and do the same thing they’ve done every single Monday – go to work and just turn on route automatic and no longer have any meaning in their life?
91
Don’t let the Monday morning quarterbacks stop you from being bold. You’ve got to set a high bar.
92
I was on ‘Monday Night Raw’ – and nobody realizes this – every time you go from ‘Raw’ to ‘SmackDown’ or ‘SmackDown’ to ‘Raw,’ it shakes up your career; it shakes up your life.
93
I could have played in a lot of Monday qualifiers for PGA Tour events, which would have been fine as long as I was getting through. But Monday qualifiers can also be depressing if you are missing out time and again.
94
I always think if you have to cook once, it should feed you twice. If you’re going to make a big chicken and vegetable soup for lunch on Monday, you stick it in the refrigerator and it’s also for Wednesday’s dinner.
95
It wasn’t such a pleasant experience. We went through 14 hours with contractions every two minutes, no epidural, no nothing. Every two minutes, I would pass out. I went to the hospital on Saturday, and Levi was born on Monday.
96
Being my own boss means I’m a nine-to-five dad Monday to Friday, it’s the best thing ever. It’s the most difficult, insane, wonderful job you could ever do, but it’s more important to hang out with your daughter.
97
For many workers, Buy America policies can mean the difference between going to work on Monday morning and facing a furlough because of a furnace closure.
98
Watching all the football over the weekend – and having to wait until Monday night to play – gets you ready, gets you firing.
99
As a kid, there are some things you looked forward to. You looked forward to Charlie Brown during Halloween and you looked forward to Monday Night Football.
100
I’m not a big fan of Sundays, but now that my life is kind of chaotic, structure-wise, I don’t really notice it’s Sunday most of the time. But I used to associate it – when I was in school – to ‘back to school on Monday,’ so I didn’t like that day.
101
When I wake up on a Monday morning and I realise I don’t have to go and work at the civil service, I really think I’ve won.
102
I think that’s what we’re all trying to do as actors, is create some sort of passion from people and allow them to have something to really care about and something they enjoy and look forward to on Saturday, Sunday, Monday, whatever it is, where you get to sit down and escape.
103
Most days, we don’t get to the ‘SNL’ studio until noon. On Monday, we pitch the host, and that’s our shortest, lightest day. Tuesday is our longest day – some people don’t leave until Wednesday night. It’s just a long, long day.
104
What we love about working at Marvel is they’ll have a crazy opening for a movie like ‘The Avengers’ – like, a record-breaking all-time opening – and you get to the office on Monday, and they don’t even have a pizza; it’s back-to-work time.
105
A schedule so tight that it would only work if I didn’t sleep on Monday nights.
106
My husband’s there full-time with our son so he’s leading on that side of things. He’s the one who has the homework battles Monday to Thursday.
107
The meshing of the brands is great. I think it brings excitement. It brings anticipation of not knowing who’s going to be on ‘Monday Night Raw’ or on ‘Tuesday Night SmackDown’ so I think it’s really awesome.
108
You know, I used to say, when people say, ‘How do you think about what to write about in the poems every week?’ And I say, ‘Well, I have to turn it in on Monday, so on Sunday nights I turn the shower to iambic pentameter and it sort of works out that way.’
109
People tell me if I don’t eat vegetables, I’m going to get scurvy. Well, what the hell. But I was never overweight as a player. There was a clause in my contract that said I had to weigh in at 270 every Friday morning. I always made it. I’d have dinner on Monday, and then I wouldn’t eat until Friday.
110
‘Monday Mornings’ is terrific. It’s my wife’s show. I’m just lucky enough that David Kelley threw me a bone on it as well. It’s a wonderful piece based on a novel by Dr. Sanjay Gupta called ‘Monday Mornings.’
111
A high percentage of organisations develop a military rationale, whereby only a very small number of people make all of the decisions. There is little wonder, then, that people aren’t keen to get out of bed and come to work on a Monday morning.
112
I went out there for a thousand a week, and I worked Monday, and I got fired Wednesday. The guy that hired me was out of town Tuesday.
113
The sanctity of prayer is needed to impregnate business. We need the spirit of Sunday carried over to Monday and continued until Saturday. But this cannot be done by prayerless men, but by men of prayer.
114
In terms of my wife, she obviously is a Monday nighter and doing very well. I watch her, I watch when she’s on, and kinda give her feedback when she asks for it and she’ll watch when I am on and she’ll kinda give me feedback of what she thought was good and bad.
115
I coached in Washington – and in Washington, you lose the ballgame, it’s a bad Monday, I just want to tell you that.
116
In an average week I’ll be testing recipes, doing a voice-over, filming and writing. I cram everything in Monday to Friday because I refuse to give up the weekend.
117
I owed Lewis one thing, at least. Once you had suffered the experience of presenting a case at one of his Monday morning conferences, no other public appearance, whether on radio, TV or the lecture platform, could hold any terrors for you.
118
At six years old, our son had friends who played soccer from 4 P.M. to 7 P.M., Monday through Friday. A six-year-old practicing as much as a Division I athlete.
119
People love in different ways. You may have a man who brings you flowers every Monday but doesn’t give two hooty-hoots about Valentine’s Day. Just because he doesn’t give you a valentine doesn’t mean he doesn’t love you!
120
I’m in the gym every day, Monday through Friday. And I train really hard to go out and do a tour. So that, basically, what I’m doing with my trainer is that I train harder in the gym than the amount of energy that I expend on the stage. So by the time I’m ready to go out on the road, doing a show is a whole lot easier.
121
I have to be alone very often. I’d be quite happy if I spent from Saturday night until Monday morning alone in my apartment. That’s how I refuel.
122
Most of the time, I’m here in Michigan and I’m taking out the garbage every Monday.
123
If I’ve played on a Saturday I’ll usually have Sunday and Monday off.
124
I’m not into ‘Let’s go out with one guy on a Monday and another guy on a Wednesday’ – that’s just not me. I’m a relationship kind of girl. I like a twosome. Some people get excited about being single. I don’t.
125
You can write the best column in the world on Monday, and it does you absolutely no good on Tuesday. There is no way to win. You just write until you are tired, they fire you, or you die.
126
People always said during the Monday Night Wars that the only way we were able to compete was due to a large checkbook and deep pockets. That’s not very true at all. That is a false narrative designed to shape history. WWE had significant advantages over WCW and vice versa.
127
It’s almost like the Monday Night Wars for me all over again. That’s the kind of feeling I get with Reality of Wrestling.
128
What do sharks do on Monday mornings? They get up and start biting. That’s me.
129
The biggest thrill wasn’t in winning on Sunday but in meeting the payroll on Monday.
130
You may have heard of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. There’s another day you might want to know about: Giving Tuesday. The idea is pretty straightforward. On the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, shoppers take a break from their gift-buying and donate what they can to charity.
131
There are two tests in life, more important than any other test. On Monday morning, when you wake up, do you feel in the pit of your stomach you can’t wait to go to work? And when you’re ready to go home Friday afternoon, do you say, ‘I can’t wait to go home?’
132
Being in school and doing the fighting stuff, it is very tough. I had school work all the way from Monday through Friday, and then on the weekends, you had homework, engineering projects and stuff. That makes it very tough.
133
I took my last final exam at HBS, the first Friday of May in 1997, and I started Amazon next Monday. No, I didn’t know what my job was going to be, or what my title was going to be.
134
You should never have to say hello or goodbye. Even at work sometimes, and I know this is very unpopular, is that if I’m going to work every single day, I don’t think you should have to hug people hello every single day when you come to work. I saw you Monday!
135
For most Americans, Friday afternoons are filled with positive anticipation of the weekend. In Washington, it’s where government officials dump stories they want to bury. Good news gets dropped on Monday so bureaucrats can talk about it all week.
136
I watch football all the time. I enjoy getting home on Monday nights and watch ‘Monday Night Football,’ and ‘Sunday Night Football’ when we get home early enough on Sunday nights.
137
Truly, I am a woman of the last minute. When I was pregnant, I organised three different hospitals because I couldn’t decide where I wanted to have my baby: London, Rome or Paris. In the end, I decided to go to Rome, arrived on the Monday and gave birth on the Saturday.
138
‘Monday Night Football’ has the good and the bad points. The bad point is you have to wait around all day, and it disrupts your schedule for the next week. Now you have one less day to prepare for the following week.
139
My life used to be governed by that. I would know what day it was because I would be at ‘Monday Night Raw’ or ‘SmackDown’ on Tuesday.
140
So while most people dealt with the scale every Monday at the Berea training facility nervous about how high the number was going to be, I was the one that was nervous about how low the number was going to be.
141
You never know, I could show up on a ‘Monday Night Raw,’ I could come down to ‘SmackDown Live’ and snatch that title real quick. Never leave me out, you never know what’s creeping around the corner, if you know what I mean.
142
Growing up on the plantation there in Mississippi, I would work Monday through Saturday noon. I’d go to town on Saturday afternoons, sit on the street corner, and I’d sing and play.
143
I mean, I guess I started during the comedy boom, so it was literally like, on Sunday you could decide you wanted to be a comic, and on Monday, you could be on stage.
144
As a kid, I trained to be an Olympic gymnast. My schedule was rigorous. Four hours a day, Monday through Saturday, I was at the gym. My body was like a boy’s, narrow hips, flat-chested, wide shoulders. When I was 12, I badly injured my ankle and was forced to stop training immediately.
145
I grew up watching Monday Night Football with Howard Cosell and the other guys with my dad.
146
One FBI agent told us early on that on Monday morning, they would get to the FBI office, and all the agents would talk about ‘The Sopranos’, having the same conversation about the show, but always from the flip side.
147
I wrestled at the Staples Centre at ‘Monday Night Raw’ when I was 21 years old.
148
I arrived in Los Angeles on the Monday, had a call from my agent to say they wanted to see me for ‘Dallas,’ made an audition tape at my friend’s house in L.A. the same day, and had the job the following Monday.
149
Asian players train so hard. Most of the time, on Monday mornings, the only people you see on the range are Asians. I mean, only see Asians.
150
When I came into WWE after Monday Night Wars, it wasn’t my greatest time in the business… but they kept bringing me back.
151
I’ve probably done 1,000 interviews about the ‘Monday Night Wars’ and how ‘Nitro’ was made.
152
I get a call – said, do you want to be an astronaut? I said, oh, my gosh, yes. And he said, be here on Monday to take these tests. I had needles stuck in every part of my body, tubes running up my bottom, so I went along with it. It didn’t bother me.
153
I lived for going down the rabbit hole of meeting weird people. Of course, come Monday I would be tallying up all the different situations, and each one was progressively more dangerous. I got lucky in that I didn’t go to jail.
154
I think there’s something inherently interesting in the Monday morning quarterback: the guy who, you know, sits at one end of the briefing room and tells everyone what they should’ve done and how they’ve screwed up.
155
Before ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ I’d directed a short called ‘Man vs. Monday’ that I sent out to all the festivals just to show I can direct and produce. It was also a template to launch a movie or a TV series.

We are going to do ‘Hot Tub’ until we die. Every Monday. Then we’ll come back and do it as zombies. ‘Hot Tub’ is very important. What we do is based on our live skills. It’s stand-up and sketch and improv; everything we do in ‘Hot Tub’ is important to our jobs. And every Monday I’m excited to do it.

Strict shopping laws mean that most German shops close on Saturday afternoons, reopening only on Monday when everybody is back at work.

Acceptance at home is fundamental, yes, but frankly, it’s just not enough. Trans youth, like most young people, spend the majority of their time at school. If you spent Monday to Friday from 8 to 3 being told that you weren’t okay, that you were wrong, how are you meant to think otherwise?

Chess: It’s like alcohol. It’s a drug. I have to control it, or it could overwhelm me. I have a regular Monday night game at my home, and I do play a little online.

Because I’m so known as a meat-chef, when I talk about Meatless Monday some people look at me like I’ve lost my mind. I’m like, look, I’m not saying beef and pork is bad, I love it and I eat it six days a week.

I helped start a ceramics company called CPS Technologies. We took it public in 1987 at $12 a share. Three months later, there was this horrible cliff: Black Monday. Fidelity had bought 15 percent of our stock, and their algorithm caused them to dump it all onto the market that day. We dropped from $12 to $2.
162
‘Antiques Roadshow’ is my favorite show. Every Monday night I have one hour of appointment television. I get the popcorn out and tell my husband, ‘Don’t bother me.’
163
I love football. My weekends are booked. Saturday college games and Sunday NFL and ‘Monday Night Football.’ Booked! Football is first, then basketball and then everything else.
164
There’s a different feeling when you show up and you’re defending. You can’t wait to get out there. You’re not anxious that Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday would be over, but you’re just excited to get that ball in the air on Thursday.
165
Monday is great if I can spend it in bed. I’m a man of simple pleasures, really.
166
One thing ‘The Very Best of WCW ‘Monday Nitro” really captures, which I remember very well about WCW, was how absolutely electric the crowds were.
167
I’m a huge WWE fan, ‘Monday Night RAW’ especially.
168
But if I wasn’t playing, I would drink Saturdays, then Sunday, then Monday. Then I would try and train and it was no good, then have another drink just to pass the day away.
169
Nature is a big part of my weekend. Whenever possible, I take Friday and Monday off and spend four days outdoors. We should remind ourselves that there was something here before us, a force more powerful than us.
170
I had my life Monday through Friday in school, and then I had my ‘real life,’ which was my acting class on Saturday.
171
My greatest mistake? I once took a three-day maternity leave. I had my daughter on a Wednesday, and then went back to the office on the Monday to sack a manager.
172
I train Monday through Saturday. I usually have fitness training for 90 minutes, then I’m on the tennis court for 3 to 4 hours.
173
In the mid-1970s, there was this huge boom of stand-up comedy throughout North America. I went to see a show at a club called Yuk-Yuks, in Toronto, and I was just fascinated. I ended up coming back for amateur hour on a Monday at midnight and got up there without any thought as to what might come of it.
174
I didn’t understand the Weber bar and how gravitational waves interacted with it. I sat and thought about it over a weekend, trying to prepare for the lecture for the following Monday. I asked myself how would I do it. The simplest way… was a thought experiment.
175
In Mexic,o the concept of a sitcom doesn’t actually exist – even if you do a sitcom, technically speaking, because it airs from Monday to Friday, they put it in the telenovela category. But, of course, I am from Mexico and grew up with the telenovela culture.
176
I become a hermit when I am in Los Angeles and I don’t leave my apartment at all from Monday through Thursday unless I have to and I don’t get much sleep.
177
The thing with focus is that it’s not this thing you aspire to, like, ‘Oh, on Monday I’m going to be focused.’ It’s every single minute: ‘Why are we talking about this when we’re supposed to be talking about this?’
178
It is simply unacceptable for people to sneak into this country illegally on Thursday, obtain a government-issued I.D. on Friday, head for the welfare office on Monday, and cast a vote on Tuesday.
179
On Monday I come in and get in a full body workout, and then I come back in on Wednesday and do a quick six, which consists of bench press, biceps and triceps curls, pull downs, something for the back and the neck. And then you come back and hit it again on Friday with a 16-machine workout.

Being able to swing in and host the ‘Today’ show when they call me, it certainly is a new experience that I have a lot of fun with, and it’s different than being in the middle of the ring in ‘Monday Night Raw.’
181
Having been in the league with five different franchises, I know what the meaning of Monday Night Football is. It’s usually the best games and the greatest venue outside the playoffs.
