There is much that makes one PAUSE in 'If This is a Man', the record of Levi's 11-month incarceration in Auschwitz, much one cannot read without NEEDING to lay ASIDE the book and inhale the breath of COMMON air.

Whenever there was a pause on the 'Hercules' SET, EVERYBODY WHIPPED their Blackberries out of their skirts - 'Are you texting the King of Thrace to tell them we're on our way?'

I was always the kid at school who THOUGHT it was a good IDEA to set off the fire ALARM. And much as I'm aware that that's a trait which also propels other things which are good, I wish I COULD just pause and GO, 'Is this really what you want to do?'

For TV you also get those pre-interviews when researchers ask you what you're going to say. The pre-interview DRIVES me INSANE. If they've already decided the outcome, why don't I just hand in an essay? Maybe if we talk we'll FIND SOMETHING out. I'd rather just have an awkward pause.

I took my hand off the PAUSE button. I had my LIFE on pause. You get stuck, especially when you're drinking and isolating. I started homing in on what I wanted to do as a PERSON. Just TRY to grow up.

We need to HIT pause, and possibly reset, as we THINK about this WHOLE Syrian refugee resettlement issue.

The END of a TOURNAMENT is a GOOD TIME to PAUSE.

In REALITY, everyone is GOOD in bed. Close eyes. Shutdown brain. Pause as NECESSARY. Restart brain. Open eyes. What's there to not be good at? Bed is the one PLACE where laziness is rewarded.

Honestly, I STARTED playing the pause game right after the 2015 BET Hip Hop AWARDS cypher. That's AROUND when pauses really started.

I think any time you have a show that, after you watch it, it sort of sits with you for a while, and you take PAUSE and you TALK about it, YEAH, it affects your life.

I admit that when challenging times first surface, it's not first instinct to do a happy DANCE. But when you take TIME to pause and add insight to INJURY, you will immediately START to feel empowered to make those majorly needed life shifts.

I can only speak for myself, but when I was growing up in Memphis - and having the Martin Luther KING holiday and the MOMENT of pause on APRIL 4th - he was just a statue to me. I wanted to make him a LITTLE BIT more real to me as a human being.

Trump is a room-reader. He'll SLOW down a LINE, rephrase a point, work in a pause, and ride the energy of his audience WHEREVER it takes him.

Dance was SOMETHING I'd just done at my youth club, and I used to teach dance when I was 14 to 19, 20 years old. I had my own dance group, and then I got more into the ACTING stuff, and I started doing THINGS for TV. And then I PUT that on pause, because I really WANTED to focus on my real passion, which is music.
