Before I do a play I say that I hope it’s going to be for as short a time as possible but, once you do it, it is a paradoxical pleasure. One evening out of two there are five minutes of a miracle and for those five minutes you want to do it again and again. It’s like a drug.

I really don’t like going out. I don’t like restaurants because I don’t like the idea of someone, a waitress, being responsible for my evening.

When I was younger, I’d make a point of driving to the middle of nowhere and spending an evening with just me, the wind, and the moon. Your skin crawls up an octave.

To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter… to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird’s nest or a wildflower in spring – these are some of the rewards of the simple life.

The shooting of ‘Nadunisai Naigal’ started at 7 in the evening and ended by 4 in the morning. Physically too, it was a very demanding film as I have a lot of action scenes. I had to run, roll in the mud and was chased by dogs. It was not an easy film to shoot.
Even though I hated doing farming and wanted to just get out of the village, I would work from 5 in the morning till 5 in the evening.

The weather became so intensely cold that we sent for all the hunters who had remained out with captain Clarke’s party, and they returned in the evening several of them frostbitten.

I am a lip person. I constantly need a really good lip moisturizer with me. Mine is a Clairin’s moisture replenishing lip balm. I have two of them: I have one I keep next to my bed, so it’s the first and last thing in the morning and evening, and then 10 times a day in my purse.
Because of this high status of the object in our culture, something has to be a thing. Live efforts are almost marginal.

Make no mistake, most women are well aware that they’ve never had it so good; when they enter a spa or salon, it is purely a hair/nails thing, a prelude to an evening of guilt-free fun.
I wasted too much time in my twenties. I worked, but I would do theater in the evening, and during the day I would surf and do irascible things. And then, for some reason, as I got closer to my thirties, I thought, ‘Okay Joel, you’ve wasted enough time.’

During my early years at Minnesota I conducted an evening enzyme seminar.
I get up around 6:30. I work from about 8:00 to 1:00, take a break for lunch, work again until about 5:00, and then go for a long walk and have dinner. Then, if my wife and I have no previous plans, we decide what to do for the evening.
Evening, I’ve just got myself some really nice black suede boots and big black leather Acne jacket. So oversized jacket, skinny jeans, and boots is always a get up and go evening outfit. Just black is always good. You can’t go wrong.

Remember that God under the Law ordained a Lamb to be offered up to Him every Morning and Evening.

There used to be a time when people used to hold up cigarette lighters and candles at concerts, and the place was aglow to celebrate the end of the evening, or during a slow song, there was this congregational euphoria that used to exist.

For almost every novel I’ve written, I’ve read the daily newspaper of the time almost as if it were my current subscription.

So as long as I’m not traveling, I’m always with them and I go to their soccer and tennis matches.
I’m not one of those people who wakes up and thinks, ‘Bring on the day!’ I have to have about 7 pints of coffee before I’m even remotely awake.

My husband and I spend every single evening together and often see each other a lot throughout the day. I’m his wife and the mother of his children. But he’s the first person to say, ‘I want you to be my girlfriend too,’ and it’s important to keep all those aspects of your relationship.

During the day I force myself to at least eat some salads rather than rubbish, and a steak in the evening. In fact, I eat to basically satisfy my hunger. I hardly have the time to appreciate a meal, and I’m everything, but a gourmet.

On Friday, I would come back, and then on Sunday evening I would go back to the Residence Inn.
