Sleeping together is a euphemism for people, but tantamount to marriage with cats.

A baby’s existence for the first three months is a one-way street. One person is doing all the work and the other is crying, sleeping and pooping. So the first moment when you’re actually able to do something and they acknowledge your presence, that’s a big deal. A very big deal.

He gave me the chance to be where I am today, and He’s the one that can take it all away from me. So at the team hotel, I pray before sleeping, and I pray again in the morning.

I saw a ’60 Minutes’ piece on Google as a place to work. It was such a foreign concept from what I understood as a regular job. There’s free food, sleeping pods, Ping-Pong. I’m the kind of guy who likes to get involved in everything – I’d be all over the Ping-Pong.

When I was 16, we get kicked out of our house because my mother and my father were separated, so we didn’t have money to pay. We got kicked out and had to live with my grandmother, sleeping in the living room, for many years.

I was hired as a sous-chef at a restaurant on the Upper East Side. The chef liked to drink – some mornings we would find him sleeping. Two weeks after its opening, I became the chef. I was 20 years old, and way over my head. I had to hire the cooks and do the menus.

The people who know me do not ask me about the next book or how it’s going. They ask, ‘Jason, are you sleeping?’ because they know my brain will not shut down.

Age does take it out of you, and I haven’t the energy I had before. Sometimes I have breakfast and sit in this chair, and I wake up and it is lunchtime. In the past, the idea of sleeping through a morning would have horrified me, but you have to accept the limitations that old age imposes on you.

I have major sleeping problems. I’d rather be up thinking about things than actually sleeping.

Get over jet-lag quickly. I think a lot of people waste the first few days sleeping in the wrong time zone. Sometimes I take melatonin but at other times a glass of wine will do it.
