In 2015, I told my band that I was taking a break so I could focus on my home life, go back to school, and try to remember what it was like to feel like a human being again.

Sharon Van Etten

I'm just kind of taking a break now and enjoying the freedom of making my own choices. When you're on a television show for six years, they run your schedule.

Andrew Shue

A female friend who caught me watching Fashion TV reckons its audience is largely made up of slobbering men who are just taking a break from the appalling Men & Motors channel. I don't agree.

Arthur Smith

I interact with my fans mostly through Twitter, and I like to do livestreams about every two weeks, where I say, 'Ask me anything!' and I just sit there with my computer for 15 minutes, taking a break from work, and answering their questions.

Becky G

I am taking a break, but not a huge break because the Maiden record is actually happening right now, and I am recording it as we speak, well not right as we speak, but close.

Bruce Dickinson

I was born in the summer of 1970, the last of five boys stretched over eight years. My parents were a struggling young couple who had been married one afternoon under a shade tree by a preacher without a church. No guests or fancy dress, just the two of them, lost in love, and the preacher taking a break from working on a house.

Charles M. Blow

I don't wear makeup when I'm home. I love taking a break from it.

Colbie Caillat

I have discovered the virtue of patience and I don't quite believe that taking a break for good reason can be a risk.

Dia Mirza

Sometimes, taking a break and going somewhere else and, almost, for both parties, absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Edge

It's true that I'm taking a break from writing a regular column to do other things but it's got nothing to do with what dear Simon has or has not written.

Ferdinand Mount

I think in terms of me shying away from modelling, I would like to clarify in some way that I was taking a break from many things in my life and obviously what people in the public see is that I'm pulling away from what is more public.

Gemma Ward

I was taking a break from university so I could play handball full-time for a year.

Hans Vestberg

I would like all my friends, followers, fans and fellow travelers to know that I am fighting cancer and will therefore be taking a break from performing while getting the treatment and cure. I shall of course be continuing to write music - in my world it just has to be part of the therapy - and I fully expect to be back in good shape next year.

Jon Lord

When I begin to feel tired and do not want to work anymore, I see my members next to me working so hard without taking a break. When I see the members like that, I end up thinking a lot. Because we can see each other grow and hold each other accountable, we all improve together.

Jungkook

In 2005, I worked as a scenic painter for a while when I was taking a break from music.

Mark Lanegan

I'm taking a break from music... everyone was so mean about it and it was so hard that I wanted to die.

Melanie Laurent

Right now I'm taking a break from hip-hop documentaries. But I would do it if things lined up.

Michael Rapaport

I wanted what I was doing to be really true to me and my tastes. That's what 'Worlds' was, me taking a break from what I was doing and doing something that was honest, authentic and real.

Porter Robinson

I have done many movies. Some simultaneously and others after taking a break.

Rahul Dev

The reason I make more films is that I work all the time without taking a break, and I enjoy it.

Ram Gopal Varma

I saw that my image was changing or fading. One of the reasons for taking a break from clubs was to be missed-not forgotten.

Sammy Davis, Jr.
