Kevin Costner plays the lead role of John Dutton on Yellowstone. In 2014, he revealed how he keeps himself in shape to the Chicago Sun Times. Costner says that his kids keep him active. “Forget hand weights. Just lift up my kids about a million times a day. Then go running after them when they take off in about a zillion different directions. After all that it was easy to get on a horse and do ’Hatfields and McCoys’ last year.”

2. Luke Grimes

Luke Grimes opened up about playing Kayce Dutton on the series to Monsters and Critics. He says that he did a lot of training for the role. “When we got to Utah, where we filmed the first season, a lot of us went on a cowboy camp,” he recalls. “We went on a pack trip that went out for three nights. Taking these horses up mountains, jumping creeks, and doing a lot of stuff that a lot of us had never done before just to try to get us into the feel of the place and of the world.”

3. Kelly Reilly

In 2013, Kelly Reilly, who plays Beth Dutton, talked about her diet and exercise routine to The Telegraph. “I get up early even when I'm not working, but need to wake up properly before I can eat anything. I make a coffee and whizz up some fruit juice (I'm a big juicer and make large batches to keep in the fridge). Add turmeric and ginger today, for the immune system.”

4. Wes Bentley

Wes Bentley plays Jamie Dutton on Yellowstone.In an interview, he talked about his struggle with addiction and how being cast on the show helped him overcome it. “The 12-step meetings really helped me a lot. I already had belief in God, so that kind of helps — the higher power thing…I believe in fate, and I believe I went through all that, caused all that, and experienced all that, because I was going to get here. There are many things that I regret, but I'm just so happy with my life.”

5. Cole Hauser

To play Rip Wheeler, Cole Hauser does a lot of riding. He talked about this in an interview with People. “Horseback riding, as you know, at a very high level, is a hell of a workout for core and back and legs, and you name it. Riding and roping and cutting and doing the different disciplines that we do on the show, it’ll keep you in shape. But that first, kind of, initial when you come back to work on the show, you’re sore for a week.”

6. Kelsey Asbille

Kelsey Asbille doesn’t just play Monica Dutton on Yellowstone, she’s also an avid chef. She talked about how she got interested in cooking in an interview with Esquire. “My mom's mom has a catering company. So I was around good food all the time. Southern food is so important to me. It's so sentimental and emotional. It was a way of bringing home to me or yeah. I also just love when people love it as well. It's nice to cook for everyone and have them enjoy it.”

7. Josh Holloway

In addition to playing Roarke Carter, Josh Holloway has also starred in Mission Impossible as Agent Trevor Hanaway. He talked about getting in shape for this role to Men’s Journal. "I trained my ass off. That shook me up. I thought, 'Enough of this letting go and getting it back. Maybe you can't be completely performance-ready all the time, but you can't let it go. You need to stay within striking distance.'"

8. Piper Perabo

Piper Perabo plays Summer Higgins on Yellowstone. She opened up about confidence and wellness in an interview with Into The Gloss. “I think for myself, what shines through the best is when you feel good about yourself, you know what I mean? Confidence. It comes from a psychological place: how you feel about yourself and what you want to put out there initially, and then after that, I think it comes from a nutritional place—what you eat really affects how you look, and the better you are to your body, the better you feel, and the better you look, and the better you feel about how you look.”

9. Josh Lucas

Josh Lucas opened up about what it was like playing John Dutton in an interview with TV Guide. “There's no doubt that it has to do with the success of the show, but one of the most surprising things for me about this experience is if you go to the center of Yellowstone and you spend time with these actors and this crew, there is a passion and obsession about what they feel towards Taylor, and what they feel towards the writing, what they feel towards the ranch and the story,” he says. “I've never experienced anything like that before from a film production or a television production. Mostly when you're on a show, after a couple years, people get bored of it. I feel like the exact opposite has happened here. The crew and the team of people involved are more passionate about it now than they were even five years ago, and it's not an easy show to make.”

10. Hassie Harrison

Hassie Harrison, who plays Laramie on Yellowstone, opened up about her wellness in an interview with Modeliste. “I became a certified health coach a few years ago, so I am a big believer in the inside-out approach. What we eat and drink shows up on our skin, in our sleep patterns and in our day-to-day energy levels and moods.”

11. Dawn Oliveri

Dawn Oliveri plays Sarah Atwood on Yellowstone. In a 2014 interview with SELF, she revealed some of her favorite ways to stay in shape. "I tend to be most inspired to work out within a location that contains something impressive," says Olivieri. "The mountains, a sunrise, a sunset, a waterfall, the ocean. You can pull energy from them while you do your exercises."

12. Dave Annable

Dave Annable played Lee Dutton on the series. He also opened up about being recast on CBS’s The Code to The Hollywood Reporter. “I didn’t have a goal. That was my outlet to sort of deal with my biggest fear, of being publicly embarrassed, I guess. You get older, you become a father, I found meditation and Stoic philosophy, and it really got me to a point that I had deal with that in the way that it made me happy. And from probably the worst moment in my career came the best feeling that I’ve had as a man, having all those people come forward and be inspired by it. That was way more rewarding than anything I’d felt before. I still have people talking to me about it, and that’s awesome — that I could turn that failure into something positive for myself.”

13. Neal McDonough

Neal McDonough played Malcolm Beck on Yellowstone. He did a “25 Things You Don’t Know About Me” interview with Us Weekly. In it, he revealed that he no longer drinks alcohol. “I gave up alcohol four years ago. It wasn’t easy at first, but it was the second-greatest decision of my life. Marrying my wife, Ruvé, was by far the first!”

Explore the captivating lives of the stars from Animal Kingdom, the thrilling show about a family embroiled in crime and complex relationships. We delve into the personal journeys and insights of the cast. Daniella Alonso discusses self-belief in the acting world, while Scott Speedman reflects on transitioning from competitive swimming to acting. Discover Leila George's motivation for acting, Molly Gordon's directing aspirations, and Ellen Barkin's take on sexism in Hollywood.

1. Daniella Alonso

Daniella Alonso played Catherine Belen on the show’s first season. She shared her advice for aspiring actors with Felix Magazine. “You hear it all the time, but looking at the business side and how choices get made, always believe in yourself and your ability. You are where you need to be, what you are is what you are and someone will eventually see that and want to work with you. Don’t try to fit into a mold. Be present and be happy with where you are. Roles come and go; in the grand scheme of things it doesn’t matter. Just try to be happy.”

2. Scott Speedman

Before playing Baz Blackwell, Scott Speedwan was a competitive swimmer. He talked about stepping away from the sport to Men’s Journal. “Anybody who does any sort of sport intensely at any age has repetitive stress injuries and that's basically all it was. It was kind of a nerve injury and I think the non-medical term for what I had was ‘arm burnout,’ just from over-training. I was a distance swimmer, a miler, freestyle, and the training back then was definitely very intense. I had a good couple of years of competing at a prime age and then my arm just kind of gave out. I've told this story many times, but it was definitely one of the best things that has happened to me.”

3. Leila George

Leila George played the younger version of Smurf on the show. She talked about staying driven to work with Body & Soul. “I like living in a house with a roof. And sometimes you need money for that. That's really it. It's also allowed me to be pickier with what I choose to do. And I'd rather spend my time working, doing that, than doing jobs that maybe I'm not in love with. I like the structure of having a work schedule. I like earning my own money.”

4. Molly Gordon

In addition to being Nicky Belmont on the show, Molly Gordon has started directing. She notably directed Theater Camp. Gordon talked about this with Shondaland.com. “All I want to do is make things that are original and authentic and maybe stranger. And it feels like that’s kind of what’s at stake right now — can you get paid to make good work, and can you make a living wage as a writer, as an actor? But also like, how do we get people to come and see these things? I think the only thing we can do is try to make bolder, weirder things and not just the same thing over and over again.”

5. Ellen Barkin

Ellen Barken played the lead role of Smurf Cody. She talked about sexism in the acting world to InStyle. “One of the best benefits of getting older is that I no longer feel guilty about protecting myself. That’s a big thing in my job because the gender disparity is outrageous. I don’t think there’s a working actress alive who I wouldn’t call a badass. It’s a hard job, made even harder by being a woman.”

6. Ben Robson

Ben Robson, who plays Craig Cody, talked about getting in shape for the role to Men’s Journal. “I definitely adapted my training for this. I knew it was very aggressive so I took up boxing and got myself a trainer. Boxing is something I've always enjoyed doing, but I've went into it a lot more and really learned how to do it. That's obviously an incredible workout, and it’s totally addictive as well because you start getting better and better with the combos, the flow, and the routine. At the same time, I'm in the gym doing different routines. I manage to do some circuit training, then be out in about an hour. After the gym, you feel sort of strong and good about yourself, but it's not something I enjoy doing for hours on end.”

7. Darren Mann

Darren Mann played Baz Blackwell in flashbacks on the show. He talked about his upbringing to The Vancouver Sun. “Growing up I had an older brother (Tyler Mann) that took me absolutely everywhere with him and we didn’t have a dad growing up. My mom (Lenore Mann) had to work whatever job she could so we could play hockey and stuff. I was really blessed with a really great role model of a brother. In some ways I actually got to channel a little bit of my own brother and what that was like.”

8. Shawn Hatosy

Shawn Hatosy plays Pope Cody on the show. He talked about his training process with Muscle & Fitness. “If I have the time, I’ll lift for an hour and try to hit every muscle. Let’s say I’m doing bench presses. I’ll do a set, and then I’ll stay active by doing some situps on the decline bench, and then I’ll do air squats or something, and then I’ll go back to the bench and do another set. I try to keep moving. And if I’m not able to play tennis that day, I’ll do at least 30 minutes of cardio after I’m done lifting weights.”

9. Jake Weary

Jake Weary opened up about playing the villainous Jake Dunmore on the show to Ravelin Magazine. “If the villain can be endearing and make the audience root for them and yet still have that menacing nature and mal-intent, it can be very rewarding. There are times where I tend to feel lost when portraying my character on Animal Kingdom, which is basically about a family of looting sociopaths. However, there tend to be these ‘aha’ moments where, despite the awful things my character does, I can still find the humanity in his actions.”

10. Emily Deschanel

Emily Deschanel had a recurring role of Angela Kane. She is a vegan, and talked about her diet to Garden Of Life. “I’m definitely more aware of the fact that there are a lot of things which are not good for your bones. For instance, if your body doesn’t get proper nutrition, it will actually leach what it needs from the bones and cause problems. Once, when I was filming a scene, my character was supposed to offer someone a soda to drink. I said we couldn’t do that because soda is not good for your bones!”

11. Jennifer Landon

Jennifer Landon played Amy Wheeler on the show. She also has a role on Yellowstone, and talked about going riding on the show to TVFanatic.com. “We actually did all of it. Our great stunt people tested everything out first. I think they rolled on some of those. I think they ended up using our tape. That horse did charge at me. Those horses were stomping around. That water was freaking cold. And then we drifted downriver like that.”

Alana de la Garza talked about what she likes about starring in FBIin an interview. “There is something really relaxing about that creative process when you trust the people you work with and you’re able to perform. If you’re able to take words off a page and, luckily, the words that are on our pages are just incredible. The storytellers that we have that are writing these scripts are so good that you can trust that and you’re able to feel creatively complete by trusting the other characters on the show who are also your friends. There is something relaxing about that.”

3. Sela Ward

Sela Ward loves to swim to stay in shape. She shared this photo on Facebook of herself in the pool after doing laps. She captioned the photo, “Got my laps in for the day! Can someone hand me a towel, please?”

4. Zeeko Zaki

Zeeko Zaki talked about his weight loss in an interview with Entertainment Tonight. "The craziest part was just being kind of a different person every year. You get like 10 lbs. a year, I wanted to do it slow," Zaki explained. "But my biggest tip and the thing that I walked away from was a little trick I learned from The 4-Hour Body by Timothy Ferriss — 30 grams of protein within 30 minutes of waking up. So give it a shot."

5. Vedette Lim

Vedette Lim spends a lot of time outside. Naturally, she likes to do outdoor workouts to keep herself in shape. Lim posted this photo on Instagram of herself going on a hike in the deserts of Arizona. She captioned it, “A visit to my birth state.”

6. Ebonee Noel

Ebonee Noel has worked with Dick Wolf in both FBI and Law & Order SVU. She talked about her process with playing her roles in an interview with One Chicago. “I tried to make the technical dialogue be as interesting as possible when delivering it, because I know some of the stuff, I got the script and it’s like what am I talking about here? If I don’t know what I’m talking about, the audience is going to have no idea what I’m talking about. So it’s just fleshing out that jargon and trying to find her joy in figuring these things out.”

7. Connie Nielsen

In a 2014 interview with Parade, Connie Nielsen talked about her diet. “For breakfast, I eat organic food with high fat content, such as whole milk yogurt, nuts, seeds, fresh fruit and a scrambled egg. I cook it in organic grape seed oil for its high omega content. I drink a cappuccino for its dose of milk and the coffee for its taste, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. At lunch, I might eat smoked salmon with a slice of Mozzarella di Bufala, made from the milk of domestic water buffalo, along with avocado.”

Kelly Reilly plays Beth Dutton on Yellowstone. She took The Telegraph through a typical day in her life. In it, she shared some of her favorite exercises. Reilly says that 8 am, she does, “A long dog walk along the beach. I love hiking and horse-riding, and do yoga occasionally (I'm no Gwyneth Paltrow), more for my mind than anything else.”

2. Piper Perabo

Piper Perabo plays Summer Higgins on Yellowstone. She shared some of her hair and skincare secrets with Into The Gloss. “In my off time, I really go crazy low-maintenance. I rinse my hair with apple cider vinegar, and it takes all the product out. I’ll stop dyeing my hair, and my roots come out. I just try and give my body a break: just wash your face, and put on some sunscreen.”

3. Jeremy Renner

Jeremy Renner plays the lead role of Mike McClusky on Mayor of Kingstown. He also plays Hawkeye in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Renner has to stay in shape to play that role, and shared some of his tips with Men’s Health. “I’ll take something called ‘Liquid IV’ which has potassium, and electrolytes and things like that. So you only need one of those, and it’s worth like four [water bottles].”

4. Hassie Harrison

Shutterstock

Hassie Harrison plays Laramie on Yellowstone. She shared her secrets for self-confidence with Modeliste. “I think the root of empowerment is liking and accepting, all of yourself. From there, you can feel confident about who you are and what you bring to the table. Taking it a step further, you learn how to advocate for yourself and make better choices. Once you master that, you can extend that to advocating for others within your personal and professional community and the world at large. That’s what empowerment means to me…so far. I’m sure I will expand on that as I get older and gain more life experience.”

5. Faith Hill

Faith Hill played Margaret Dutton on the miniseries, 1883. She tells New Beauty that she and her husband, Tim McGraw, believe in having a strong work ethic, and have taught their daughters that. “It is very important to us as a family, and the girls have seen that. The one thing we stress is that you don’t get things handed to you on a silver platter—you have to work for the things you want. They know it takes hard work. You don’t just arrive.”

6. Tim McGraw

Tim McGraw played James Dillard Dutton on 1883. The singer is open about his weight loss process, and talked about it on Instagram. He wrote in this post’s caption, “The goal is to get to a place where you can say, without restriction, I accept where I am today. I will start from here.

I’m not big on looking back. I tend to look forward, to focus on tomorrow. To my mind, forgiveness and letting go doesn’t mean you suddenly have to love yourself; it’s just about accepting that you are a work in progress, not a finished product.”

7. LaMonica Garrett

Shutterstock

LaMonica Garrett played Thomas on 1883 and Tucker on Special Ops: Lioness. He shared the secrets behind his impressive six-pack to Muscle and Fitness. “It will be different each day. If I’m doing legs, I’ll do core. If I’m doing back, I’ll work my core another way. If I’m doing chest, I’ll do core another way, so just something with core every day, and diet. You know, abs, or most of it is nutrition in the kitchen, so I just have to modify the way I eat and it helps.”

8. Jennifer Ehle

Jennifer Ehle played Sister Mary on 1923, and Mason on Special Ops: Lioness. She shared what she wants the industry to include more of to Collider. “Intimacy coordinators. That would have made a huge difference to my 90s. That is an extraordinary thing. We now have a number on our SAG card to call if we feel like something needs to be shared. The communication, the dialogue, the sense of how deep this goes in all walks of life, how deep this problem goes, how whenever there's a discrepancy of power people are vulnerable to abuse. I think the awareness of that globally is huge.”

9. Cole Hauser

Cole Hauser plays Rip Wheeler on Yellowstone. He tells People that he makes sure to stay in shape for the role. Hauser said that he’s changing his approach to fitness. "Now I'm trying to lean out, so it's really about food and cardio and being able to lift my own weight. That's a big thing for me is just being life strong."

10. Dawn Olivieri

Dawn Olivieri plays Sarah Atwood on Yellowstone, and played Claire Dutton on 1883. She shared with SELF in 2014 that she likes to workout outside. "I tend to be most inspired to work out within a location that contains something impressive. The mountains, a sunrise, a sunset, a waterfall, the ocean. You can pull energy from them while you do your exercises."

11. Luke Grimes

Luke Grimes plays leading role Kayce Dutton on Yellowstone. He revealed in an interview that he learned how to horseback ride and do other cowboy things for the role. “It started about two months before we began filming when I got the part. Taylor’s really into authenticity, so I was on horseback almost every day.”

12. Kelsey Asbile

Kelsey Asbile plays Monica Long Dutton on Yellowstone. She is also studying Human Rights, and opened up about how people can support women’s rights with Numero Magazine. “I always think the first step is educating yourself. And then being mindful of how you can help while also centering the people you advocate for. ‘Nothing about us, without us.’”

13. Josh Holloway

Josh Holloway played Roarke Morris on Yellowstone. He shared his fitness secrets with Men’s Journal. “I thought, 'Enough of this letting go and getting it back. Maybe you can't be completely performance-ready all the time, but you can't let it go. You need to stay within striking distance.'"

Hugh Dillon not only plays Ian Ferguson on Mayor of Kingstown, he helped co-create the show. Dillon is open about his struggles with sobriety, and talked about how having supportive people helped him to The Men’s List. “If you don’t have people around you that can guide you out of that, it’s brutal. I was really lucky. I had family, my wife who loved me and even my manager Bernie Breen.”

15. Emma Laird

Emma Laird plays Iris on Mayor Of Kingstown. Before acting, Laird was modeling, and developed an eating disorder. She told Hungertv.com that picking up acting helped her get through this. “I was in New York about five years ago, and I had a really bad eating disorder. I was slowly coming out of that and I gained a bit of weight, and then my agents told me to lose weight again. I was like, ‘I can’t do this any more,’” she recalls. “So then, in New York, and not able to get work because I was ‘too fat’, I had a minute to switch off. So I found this acting school and I went to an open day, and this guy said, ‘Yeah there’s a spot on this two-month course, but it starts tomorrow.’ So I had to move out of this model apartment that day because I couldn’t stay there any more. I’ve never really properly thought about this, or said this, but that acting course… That course really saved me. I went through some really awful shit in the modelling world around that time, and going to those classes and being able to fall in love with something really saved my life.”

16. Zoe Saldana

Zoe Saldana plays the leading role of Joe on Special Ops: Lioness. She talked about how she approaches eating in an interview with Byrdie. “I try to be balanced. I don’t like hearing, ‘Oh, I’m doing this diet, or I’m doing that diet.’ I like when people use words like ‘my lifestyle.’ When we use the word ‘diet,’ we’re preparing ourselves for a big sacrifice that we know, the older we get, we’re going to be too weak to fulfill. We just end up crashing and defeating ourselves. So I like telling myself that I’m not doing a diet, that this is my lifestyle, and I’m choosing to have a balanced meal. I don’t like having zero carbs or all protein. I like getting all the nutrition that my body needs so that it can heal itself naturally.”

17. Jill Wagner

Jill Wagner plays Bobby on Special Ops: Lioness. She revealed some of the charities and causes she supports to My Devotional Thoughts. “I support LLS-Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. They do so many good things to support people with cancer and help cure all blood cancers. I also love an organization called The Gentle Barn. The Gentle Barn rescues animals from severe abuse and neglect who are too old, sick, lame, or scared to be adopted into homes. We are a sanctuary to horses, donkeys, cows, pigs, sheep, goats, turkeys, chickens, llamas, peacocks, emus, cats and dogs. Once rehabilitated, the animals help us give hope and inspiration to children with the same stories.”

18. Nicole Kidman

Nicole Kidman plays Kaitlyn Meade on Special Ops: Lioness. She shared some of her skincare secrets with Forbes. Kidman revealed that sunscreen is a big part of her routine. “As someone with very fair skin, I'm very serious about sun protection and have been since I was a kid. I'm so grateful my parents were serious about sun protection when I was a child! Growing up in Australia, we spent so much time at the beach, my parents were always very serious about keeping my skin safe from the sun.”

19. Dave Annable

Dave Annable played Lee Dutton on Yellowstone, and currently plays Neil on Special Ops: Lioness. In an interview with Deadline, he supported the strikes in the entertainment industry. “I’m part of the union and I’m happy to support the union. There are so many crew members and folks that are outta work, that are living paycheck to paycheck right now. It would be lovely to get back to work and get this industry moving again. That being said, it needs to be updated. Times change, things change. Obviously our whole business is changing. In the 20 years I’ve been doing this, it’s sort of night and day how much it’s changed. All of the deals need to reflect that.”

20. Laysla De Oliveira

Laysla De Oliveira plays Cruz Manuelos on Special Ops: Lioness. She shared how she got in shape for the role to Toronto Life. “I was lucky to work with a former Navy Seal named Jared Shaw who was basically responsible for turning me into a badass. Every day, we did an hour of strength training, an hour of weapons training and an hour of stunt training. Before that even started, I did hand-to-hand combat at this gym the studio sent me to in L.A. A lot of rappers go to the same gym, so I ended up training with Wiz Khalifa.”

Star Trek stars have captivated audiences with their compelling performances and memorable characters (and pointy ears). Beyond the starships and interstellar adventures, these actors also share their personal journeys toward physical and emotional well-being. From Chris Pine's insights on healthy prepping for roles to Zachary Quinto's reflections on the evolving landscape for LGBTQ+ individuals, this article delves into the multifaceted lives of these talented individuals. Join us as we explore how actors like Karl Urban, Sonequa Martin-Green, and Michelle Yeoh strike a balance between maintaining incredible bodies, supporting charitable causes, and embracing their authentic selves in the ever-evolving realm of showbiz.

1. Chris Pine

Chris Pine opened up about his career in an interview with Men’s Journal. In it, he says that he avoids those calorie rich diets when prepping for roles. “You’ve got Thor, you’ve got Captain America. These guys are eating 5,000, 7,000 calories, waking up just to eat food, eating 15 meals a day. For your liver, I don’t think that’s healthy.”

2. Karl Urban

Karl Urban opened up about how he got in shape for his role in The Boys to Men’s Journal. “I made sure I was consistently putting work in the gym. I wanted to make sure I was meeting the requirements of what people had in their heads when they thought of him. There's also an importance on staying healthy when you're coming up on a big shoot like The Boys, because it can take a lot out of you. I put a program together based on a few other regimes I had built for other film projects and it worked. The goal was to add mass to all of the muscle groups, and hit them all. I wanted something that was just as much about fitness as it was about aesthetic.”

3. Zachary Quinto

Jon Kopaloff/WireImage

In an interview with Time, Zachary Quinto opened up about growing up as a gay man. “I feel grateful to have grown up at a time when all my experiences as a kid in learning to perform and growing up was based on the people that came before me. I spent a lot of time charting the journeys of the people who weren't allowed to be openly gay and had to live their lives in terrible self-oppression and torture and lies just to succeed. Kids today don't have to think about that, because so many of those people died. Now you can do what you want to do. That came at a cost. Honoring that cost is the only thing we owe each other.”

4. Chris Hemsworth

Chris Hemsworth’s stuntman Bobby Holland Hanton, opened up about the way he and the actor get in shape for roles to Page Six. “Chris says to me, ‘We want to be the strongest, healthiest versions of ourselves for this next “Thor.” We want to take it to the next level.’ As you know, every single ‘Thor’ and ‘Avengers,’ he’s always in incredible shape. For him to want to take it to that next level, it was another huge challenge.”

5. Jason Isaacs

Jason Isaacs shares his fitness secrets with GQ. "I have one of the many seven-minute workout apps. It’s star jumps; wall-sits; squats; crunches; push-ups with rotation; step-ups; planks; side planks as well. All the other actors and various crew members were initially interested, and one by all they’ve all dropped off. There’s a couple of die-hards that still do it with me but I am so much better at exercising when I’ve got a workout partner.”

6. Sonequa Martin-Green

I was already in my process of slowly getting back to my normal routine with my body, so I just started doing some power yoga and a lot of floor work—breathing has been helping me a great deal. I just love it, so that’s what I was doing in my spare time.”
