Our obsession with speed, with cramming more and more into every minute, means that we race through life instead of actually living it. Our health, diet and relationships suffer. We make mistakes at work. We struggle to relax, to enjoy the moment, even to get a decent night's sleep.
Musicians are always gigging and never have a chance to stop for a minute.
I wanted to be grown up the minute I could.
I'm terrified about the day that I enter the gates of heaven and God says to me, just a minute.
Fox would hire me in a minute. And believe it or not, CNN would, too.
When running to fill a time quota, however, the reverse happens. You can't make that time pass any faster by rushing, so you settle into a pace that feels right to you at the moment. Each minute above a quota is a little victory.
The poetry that sustains me is when I feel that, for a minute, the clouds have parted and I've seen ecstasy or something.
The minute you think you've got it made, disaster is just around the corner.
Civilization grew in the beginning from the minute that we had communication - particularly communication by sea that enabled people to get inspiration and ideas from each other and to exchange basic raw materials.
No one ever talks about the moment you found that you were white. Or the moment you found out you were black. That's a profound revelation. The minute you find that out, something happens. You have to renegotiate everything.

Farce is tragedy played at a thousand revolutions per minute.
In fact I enjoyed every minute of my life at King's, especially the discovery of French and German literature.
Music is not just a part of my everday life, I'm surrounded by it every minute.
I enjoy the work, I enjoy every minute of my professional life.
I want to do everything right now! This very minute. I am impatient, but yes I have goals. To be a real well-respected actress whom people know they can rely on to do a good job... whether they like me as a person or not!
What I have to work with is the life that's ahead of me right this minute.
You can do really slow movements with it, like zooming in for a minute and a half. The audience isn't aware that the camera has moved, but there's subconscious tension there.
Here's the thing: I fell impossibly in love with the Internet from the minute I saw it in action in the early 1990s. From that moment on, I have studied it, analyzed it, reported on it, and, mostly, have not been without it as a part of my daily life since.
Having imagination it takes you an hour to write a paragraph that if you were unimaginative would take you only a minute.
'La Mancha' was a gift from me to me. I never thought for a minute it was going to be a hit.
Sadly, I don't think books ever sell based on your name alone - the minute we make an assumption like that is the minute it all goes horribly wrong!
From the minute I wake up until I go to bed I think about food.
I think diva is an inevitable outcome of the industry, and I don't think it reflects on the person at all. You take a normal human being, and basically, for 24 hours, seven days a week, apart from sleeping, you introduce them to places and things almost every minute that are brand new.
Competition makes things come out right. Well, what does that mean in health care? More hospitals so they compete with each other. More doctors compete with each other. More pharmaceutical companies. We set up war. Wait a minute, let's talk about the patient. The patient doesn't need a war.
You have a choice. Live or die. Every breath is a choice. Every minute is a choice. To be or not to be.
We have to live life with a sense of urgency so not a minute is wasted.
I came home in the afternoon to sleep, and there was this e-mail from Comedy Central saying they were interested in having me be part of this new show called 'Jump Cuts'! So I called them right away, and the producer started laughing and said, 'We sent that e-mail one minute ago - you're so fast!'
I like all kinds of music. On my playlist at the minute is Professor Green, Tinie Tempah, Maroon 5, Stereophonics, Jay-Z, Drake, and lots more. I always listen to music when I'm in the gym; it helps me to get pumped up.
Every minute brings a new opportunity. Every minute brings new growth, new experiences.
Any time I got in emotional turmoil, I felt sick all the time, like at any minute I would die.
I originally wanted to go into sports, but my first concert was KISS at the shooting of 'KISS Meets The Phantom Of The Park.' The minute I saw Gene and Paul... it was all over. I knew that's what I wanted to do.
Those ethical choices often are made every day at a time, minute by minute in ways that you may not even relate to ethics, so I'm going to walk them through the whole story from that perspective and hopefully they'll be able to walk away with something good from it.
It hasn't been smooth or delightful every minute, there were lean years and rough years, but it's been exciting and good and I'm thrilled to be an actress and a singer and to have spent my life this way.
In the next minute, I will be entirely naked. In the minute after that, fully dressed.
To be a good actor... it is necessary to have a firmly tempered soul, to be surprised at nothing, to resume each minute the laborious task that has barely just been finished.
