If you want me to sing this Christmas song with the feeling and the meaning you better see if you can locate that check.

I have to work really hard eight shows a week to get a nice check as an actor. But when I write a play and it's a - knock wood - hit the checks come in for many years.

I got my first big paycheck for 'My Best Friend's Wedding.' This was in the days when you actually did get paid to have a supporting role. It just doesn't happen like that anymore but this was in the '90s. It was the golden age!

A state of war is not a blank check... when it comes to the rights of the Nation's citizens.

We need to be aware of all aspects: To check how they travel how they eat the competition conditions.

I'm terrified of bugs and I travel with sprays lotions potions the lot. I have to check the room before I go to sleep and if I come across a bug and fail to remove it I have to sleep in a separate room as I'm paranoid that I'll be taken advantage of as I sleep.

As a child I sometimes used to travel to the West Bank to visit my family so I know what the checkpoints felt like. I knew what it was like to live under occupation.

When I travel abroad because I'm Columbian I'm always one that they check twice and security and I'm the one that they open my bag and the one they pull to the side to check the visa.

I take a very practical view of raising children. I put a sign in each of their rooms: 'Checkout Time is 18 years.'

Second we're spending a huge amount of money on technology so that everyone can check out laptops and portable phones. We're spending more money to write our existing information into databases or onto CD-ROM.
