This world is a place of business. What an infinite bustle! I am awaked almost every night by the panting of the locomotive. It interrupts my dreams. There is no sabbath. It would be glorious to see mankind at leisure for once. It is nothing but work, work, work.
There's no nights off in the NBA. That's what makes it so special. That's why everyone loves the game.
Drill instructors worked seven days a week, fifteen to seventeen hours a day in many cases, with no time off in between platoons.
I never take a day off.
If you'd see my schedule, you'd know I have no time to slow down.
The only time I don't work is when I am asleep.
I never took a day off in my twenties. Not one.
You're playing games every two or three nights, so there's no real time off.
I have never managed to put my feet up, ever.
I work all the time. Seven days a week.
I work every single day, even on Sundays.
Princes are like heavenly bodies, which cause good or evil times, and which have much veneration, but no rest.
There's no such thing as downtime for your brain.
In my training in the summer, back in the day, I used just go, go, go! I wouldn't take any days off, I would do whatever I wanted, as much as I wanted of it.
During the offseason, I didn't take any time off. And I played this game for over 20 years. So right after the season, I would go right back into my regimen.
All my life, Sundays have been a working day.
I don't get to do quiet time.
Mine is a job that never ends, a function where it is almost impossible to set aside time to rest or take a breather.
There is no point at which you can say, 'Well, I'm successful now. I might as well take a nap.'
We live with incessant music, all the time. It's like some weird musical purgatory, there is absolutely no rest for the ears, no space to absorb and reflect.
I have not slept one wink.
I'm sure you've felt this way along the way: Yes, I got to do what I wanted to do. But it was much harder than I thought it was going to be, and it continues to be. You never get to a place that is a place of rest. I think that's OK. It's not bad - life is hard work!
I go without sleep, I just go hard.
Rehab is endlessly repetitive. And it's never easy, because once you've mastered some movement or action or word, no matter how small, you move on to the next. You never rest.
One of the problems with being a WWE Superstar is that I literally get zero time off unless I'm injured, and usually when I'm injured I'm sat on the couch unable to move because I've just had a surgery.
