Erik Brynjolfsson

I feel like I eat pretty clean as my regular routine. I eat a lot of steamed vegetables, steamed chicken. I don’t eat that much meat. I’d be maybe, I would say, 90 percent vegetarian. Mostly just because I like the way it makes me feel, not other reasons. Jane Krakowski
The secret of your future is hidden in your daily routine. Mike Murdock

Well ‘Monday Night Football,’ I think the players kind of like it because they like the attention, and it’s a lot of attention.

It’s different than when you play at noon. Bud Grant

All these contribute to me being fit and looking good. Madhuri Dixit
Incorporating small changes/additions in one’s daily routine can have a big impact.

Max Weber
It’s kind of a lonely work, because you just have to keep your pole in the water. I always had a little routine of going into whatever room I was using at the time to write in and just staying in there till I felt like I got a bite. Tom Petty
As an athlete, proper warm up and recovery are a part of my daily routine. Ja Morant
Discipline is not consistency, and the reason why I say that is – like, for an example, making prayer five times a day, that establishes routine and consistency. That I can do.

I saw my mother in a different light. We all need to do that. You have to be displaced from what’s comfortable and routine, and then you get to see things with fresh eyes, with new eyes. Amy Tan

Bednar

Take my gay-hairdresser routine. You’ll let your hairdresser say things to you that you wouldn’t let your parents say.

I travel a lot; I hate having my life disrupted by routine. Caskie Stinnett

I think ‘Trial & Retribution’ as a brand can go on forever. Its joy is that it has, to an extent, a formula, which gives a comfort routine for viewers. But we allow our directors total autarchy in putting their personalities on their stories. Victoria Smurfit
