‐‐ Mary Roach
Every now and then, they ask me to come in and improvise with Stanley Tucci for an afternoon. They fly me off to America, I improvise for an afternoon - it's not the hardest, most taxing job.
‐‐ Toby Jones
Every now and then, when I think about it, I think, 'What would I even talk about onstage?' It's never been, 'I wonder if I'm funny. I wonder if I can come up with jokes.' It's more, 'What would it be like without the leather suit and the anger?'
‐‐ Eddie Murphy
Every now and then, when you're on stage, you hear the best sound a player can hear. It's a sound you can't get in movies or in television. It is the sound of a wonderful, deep silence that means you've hit them where they live.
‐‐ Shelley Winters

‐‐ Mike Epps

‐‐ Apolo Ohno
Every once in a while, an election comes along, and who you are and what you believe gets subsumed in a larger tide. It just happens.
