In the late 30s the name Pollock was totally unknown and unheard of.
I didn't mind being in school. But I was usually uninspired and always late. I did what I had to, but not more.
The United States government first learned of the diversion of the W-88 nuclear warhead design in late 1995.
My dad is Chinese, and my mom is a white American, and they married only ten years after the United States Supreme Court ruled that it was illegal to ban mixed marriages. Imagine that. Marriages between people of different races - now common and accepted - were illegal in many states up until the late Sixties.
I thought, 'Oh, I'll be an independent producer. Oh, I'll be a manager.' I was going through all those things in my head, and one night, late at night, I was having what I would now describe as probably a panic attack because there were so many unknowns. An almost literal voice came into my head telling me, 'You need to write.'
I'm not the judge of who that is, but I am a believer that no debt in the universe goes unpaid. If you try to buy early, you'll pay late.
Whatever you do, do it with all your might. Work at it, early and late, in season and out of season, not leaving a stone unturned, and never deferring for a single hour that which can be done just as well now.
I love meat and vegetables. If I did a diet, I would do Paleo, except they have no cheese, which is very upsetting. I'm going to start my own Chrissy diet that's like Paleo plus cheese. Plus late Saturday night drive-through.
I drew as a child, they tell me. I can vaguely remember doing it. And then I drew again in the late years at high school.
I grew up in Burbank - but not the Burbank of valet parking and TV studios. In the late 1950s, there was a small apartment complex on Elmwood Avenue that rented mostly to families on welfare. I lived there from age 3 to 11 and again from 14 to 18 with my mother, Shirley, and my younger sister, Toni.
The imperial vastness of late Roman architecture was made possible by the invention of concrete.
I was born about 80 years too late. If you were a kid in 1910, the Fourth of July was a big deal. You knew all about the Revolution, and you still had Civil War veterans.
What I learned, a little too late, was that the 'traditional' Martin Short target viewer weighs under 300 pounds. Unfortunately, I was on during daytime.
Lawyers didn't seriously get involved in the Watergate stories until quite late, when we realized we were on to something.
I know how much my late center Mike Webster suffered. I can only imagine what a lot of defensive players from my era are going through.
Late afternoon on the West Coast ends with the sky doing all its brilliant stuff.
It may be too late for West Virginia to save itself from the ravages of Big Coal. But it's not too late for America.
Whilst we deliberate how to begin a thing, it grows too late to begin it.
I opened the Woodstock Festival even though I was supposed to be fifth. I said, 'What am I doing here? No, no, not me, not first!' I had to go on stage because there was no one else to go on first - the concert was already two-and-a-half hours late.
When you are around 60, there are certain things that are completely terrifying. One of them is that you have made the wrong choices in life, and now it's too late to do anything about them.
