I couldn't sleep one night, and I didn't know what to do, so I came downstairs and started playing the piano. That's when I wrote the melodies for 'Beautiful Things.' The next day I had a session, and I took it into the studio.Benson Boone

The evidence of our divided racial self was all over the Obama presidency from the beginning: from the shouts of 'you lie' from the well of Congress as he spoke to a joint session, to the unprecedented spectacle of American conservatives rooting against their own country being awarded the Olympic Games.Joy Reid

There is no better training for chess than swimming. On a Friday evening I like to put in a good long session of breaststroke at the pool near where I live in Budapest with my husband, Gusztav, and my two children.Judit Polgar

When I work with Lil Jon, as soon as I come in the studio, he already knows what we're gonna do. He's one of those producers where when you know you've got a session booked with them, you're job is easier because they're probably already going to have an idea or a hook.Too Short

The beauty of Test cricket is all about playing an opponent in their backyard or defending home turf under challenging conditions over five days - dominating each session, dominating each day, picking 20 wickets to win a contest. That's historically been cricket's most fascinating gift.Ravi Shastri
Copy
If you ever go to a music session, you'll notice that the musicians can sit down and start playing right away, and everyone knows what to do. Of course they're reading it, but the conductor can tweak little things, and you can take that back to directing motion pictures.Clint Eastwood
Copy
The beauty of voice-over work is that maybe you come in and record once every two weeks for a couple of hours and do a couple episodes a session. It's awesome! You spend an afternoon playing in the booth, and there you have it. It doesn't interfere with much.Emmanuelle Chriqui
Copy
As a human, as a professional player, you have to improve every day, every training session, every game.Fernandinho

I can't even imagine how it must be to be a solo artist playing with session musicians.Oliver Sim

You know, to preserve our job-friendly climate the Texas legislature didn't raise taxes this last legislative session while balancing their budget and maintaining their reserves - and might I add that our budget leaves $6 billion dollars in a rainy day fund?Rick Perry
Copy
Taking even one therapy session is just one step in the right direction to getting help and getting better, so I think it's great. I love it. I've convinced a lot of my friends to get into therapy, and they've given it a shot. Sometimes it's not for everybody at that time.Tyler Posey
Copy
Every session we do we try and talk about the way we want to play, I try to organize the sessions in a way that the players can understand the way I want them to play.Roberto Di Matteo
Copy
Starting in 2005, my first session in the legislature, my colleagues elected me to be Democratic whip.Marc Veasey
Copy
As you know, I played a little trumpet with Elvis. I overdub a few drum licks here and there on a session, but I'm not a drummer by any means.Ray Stevens
Copy
I was on the elections committee in my last session in the state House of Representatives.Marc Veasey
Copy
My brother Gary, who was my coach, five years my elder, studied human movements at Queensland University in Brisbane. We used to train together every day, and we'd train for so long that at the end of a session, we would physically almost collapse.Matthew Hayden
Copy
I just always wanted to sit in a casting session and see all of the train wrecks that come in.Holland Roden
Copy
My aim for my dancing and fitness is to achieve flexibility in those disciplines so I am spending time to make sure I stretch after each workout or dancing session I do to give me further strength and ability.A. J. Pritchard

Even if you're like Michael Carrick and you've won everything, you still have that hunger and want to impress everybody in every training session.Scott McTominay

We have a jam session at home every so often. That's one reason I bought a house with lots of ground around it the neighbors can't hear us play!Fred MacMurray
Copy
When I'm fit I know I'll give my best in each training session to give myself a chance of playing.Diogo Jota
Copy
Senator Badger did not call. During the whole of the last session of Congress, he did not call on me. He is a bitter partisan and is no doubt sensible that during the presidential canvass of 1844, he did me gross injustice.James K. Polk
Copy
This country has come to feel the same when Congress is in session as when the baby gets hold of a hammer.Will Rogers
Copy
By that point, I had started taking singing lessons. And after the first session, I mean, I was surprised that the windows didn't shatter. And after the third session, I really didn't know where this voice had come from.Gerard Butler
Copy
That first writing session, what Dan Hill calls a creative blind date, is always a real challenge, and you bring that back to your partner when you return to writing with them.Cynthia Weil
Copy
When I am home in L.A., I love to stop by a yoga class or Soul Cycle session. There is nothing like doing some cycling in the dark to club music and candle light.Adam Rippon

No singer who sings for Rahman sir would ever say they were nervous to sing for him, especially during the session.Chinmayi
Copy
The preparations for my very first exhibition in 1984 consisted of banging a line of nails in roughly the right place and hanging plates on them. I don't think a tape measure or a spirit level was involved and the whole process took less time than the session in the pub afterwards.Grayson Perry
Copy
The format of the race weekend is also very well thought out. We have enough practice time to get the cars well set-up and have a proper qualifying session where we can do as many laps as we like, which is great for the drivers and spectators.Nigel Mansell
Copy
I take part in every training session, morning and afternoon, to make sure I'm fit enough.Rivaldo
Copy
On the first training session Pogba had with Juventus, the players were laughing. We were not laughing for any other reason than we were just in total disbelief that this player with so much obvious ability was able to leave the club the size of Manchester United for free - and I think Juventus are still laughing.Andrea Pirlo
Copy
As a musician and a guitar player, I can noodle as well as anybody. But from my background as a session musician, I always try to play what is called for by the lyric and listening to the song. As a writer, that's what I do, too.Richie Sambora
Copy
I train in various aspects of the sport each day: Monday, for example, would be wrestling in the morning at 11, then kickboxing at five. Tuesday is a jujitsu session with strength and conditioning, while Wednesday is a sparring day. We mix it up each day.Leon Edwards
Copy
I am maintaining my schedule of commuting to Washington, D.C. each week from Oregon so that I can spend my weekends and days when we are not in session traveling to communities throughout my district.Greg Walden
Copy
Most people don't stretch, because, in a way, it's one of the activities that hurts us the most. It's instantly uncomfortable, which isn't true when you work out intensely and can build up to that pain, or when you have sore muscles from a tough session the day before.Laird Hamilton
Copy
I can't even count the number of times I've obliterated my diet with a binge session. One second, I'm floating along just fine, four days into a successful low-carb lifestyle. The next? I'm standing alone in a dark kitchen, eating a sleeve of Ritz crackers and cream cheese with a spoon.Rachel Hollis
Copy
After I quit being a lawyer in '95, I was having a lot of trouble writing. Then I read somewhere that Willa Cather read a chapter of the Bible every day before she started work. I thought, 'Okay, I'll try it.' Before each writing session, I started to read the Bible like a writer, thinking about language, character, and themes.Min Jin Lee

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.Freddie Ljungberg

I once took a ride to the beach in L.A., and all along the shore there were all these so-called jazz places. And I saw these college guys and session players playing this fusion Muzak stuff. It was just a lot of notes, and the more notes they played, the more it kept them from expressing anything. So I came back home and got out my Zeppelin albums.Jeff Buckley
Copy
I never pushed to be a star. I didn't want to. I had my home, my family. Session work let you do the music and leave.Darlene Love

I love working out at AKT. I will jump into one of my instructor's classes, hold a secret session with friends, or jam it out with my team, five days per week, 60-90 minutes each day.Anna Kaiser

'Session 9' can be interpreted in different ways. You can get the sense that Gordon breathes in an evil spirit but can also be read as a much more clinical movie that shows a man who becomes unhinged or may be going mad. An inspiration was Nicolas Roeg's 'Don't Look Now.'Brad Anderson
Copy
I could have had a session of defecography, which is a diagnostic test in which X-rays are taken to assess anatomical problems occurring during the process of defecation. I gave it the briefest of thoughts before recognizing that this is beyond the pale - even for me.Mary Roach
Copy
Capitol Records were very keen for me to write and see how I got on; I think that is what defined my sound. The first session I had was with two young up-and-coming writers, Nick Atkinson and Tom Wilding, and I went into a session a bit nervous because I hadn't written that many songs before.Shane Filan
Copy
Mabel is wicked. We come at music from different angles and are both into some different stuff so when we got in together, it was really refreshing to approach the session with different music in mind.Jax Jones
Copy
I always pick myself up by doing a dance session. I turn on really good music and have a lot of food and mentally I just take that time to cocoon and rebuild myself.Nikita Dragun
Copy
When I was still in the Yardbirds, our producer, Mickie Most, would always try to get us to record all these horrible songs. During one session, we recorded 'Ten Little Indians,' an extremely silly song that featured a truly awful brass arrangement.Jimmy Page
Copy
You don't want to be the boy leaving Chelsea, you want to train like every session is your last session because you know you always have to prove something to people.Mason Mount
Copy
I think what I like best is that when people give talks or workshops, it doesn't really matter what level you are as a writer - whether you are a beginner, or you've been around the block a bit; there's something that you can take away from every session.Antonya Nelson
Copy
Our relations with the other powers of Europe have experienced no essential change since the last session.James Monroe
Copy
If I went to a psychiatrist, it would be a long session. I've always thought that I do have a number of issues that probably need dealing with, because I am quite odd in some ways.Simon Cowell
Copy
When I'm traveling, I always make sure to fit in a good daily AKTread session. And, of course, a day off every week.Anna Kaiser
Copy
When I sit down to make music, I try to enter a flow; I always open a blank session and just make something that I feel like making. Only after a piece of music is done does my frontal cortex allow me to organize what might be trying to come out of my subconscious.Arca
Copy
When I was younger, I had a horrible flight. Horrible. It was well before I was 10 years old. So I always thought to myself, 'I know I don't want to travel.' That's why I wanted to be a session guy, because I knew I could still play guitar and make a living at it - hopefully.John 5
