A novel is a collision of ideas. Three or four threads may be floating around in the writer's consciousness, and at a single moment in time, these ideas collide and produce a novel.
Once upon a time, I could sing three hours. Now, when you see me say 'I'm done,' I'm done; ain't nothing left till the next night.
I used to go to the Cleveland Comedy Club all the time. If there was a comic I liked, I'd go see him two or three times that week. Bob Saget was one of those guys.
I don't think I've been bored, ever. I've always been working on two or three things at a time; whether it was in the early days, or whatever, I was always working on something.
I got married very early, and in no time at all, we had three children. And it seemed to me I had an obligation to support them.
The thing about Vegas is, I don't have to fly anywhere, and that really helps. It means I stay in one place for three weeks at a time instead of flying backwards and forwards.
Carrying those double tanks around all the time got to be a little rough on me. I had to put that damn wetsuit on and take it off, sometimes three or four times a day.
There was a time there in the mid '80s to the '90s there that we played six finals, three Canada Cups, we were playing hockey almost 10 months a year for a long time there.

By the time my first album was out, I had been out in Jamaica three or four years, but I had hits out at that time that were bona fide hits.
With directing, you always have three or four things constantly on the go. It's a tough industry and a tough time, particularly if you're doing things a little outside the box or independent features.
Still, records are documents of a period of time. Most records are documents of two or three years, and I just approached it as a record I was doing over a 20-year period of time.
It's the first time it's happened to me and maybe the last. It's a strange sensation, not normal for me. I can't remember scoring three goals, even when I was a kid.
It's difficult to get started-when it comes to dealing with an unknown quantity, people are reluctant to trust their own opinion. It helps if two or three people give you a boost.

Brian: Screw Maximilian! Sally: I do. Brian: So do I. Sally: You two bastards! Brian: Two? Two? Shouldn't that be three?
Hans Gruber: I'm going to count to three, there will not be a four. Give me the code.
Henry Frankenstein: Quite a good scene, isn't it? One man, crazy - three very sane spectators!
Alan Garner: [repeatedly singing] And we're the three best friends that anyone could have!
Sean Devine: Sometimes I think, I think all three of us got in that car...
