I started out in 1989 doing open mic nights. The first 10 years, I was literally all about I’m going to be a star. I want leather pants, I want a kangaroo, I want to be on ‘MTV Cribs,’ I want to go to the mall with a pet monkey and I want everyone to go, ‘Wow, that guy’s huge, he’s successful.’
I loved ‘Boogie Nights.’ That was a great movie, and I had a lot of fun doing that.
I had actually hurt my neck, and because I went a while without getting it taken care of – it was pushing up against the back of my heart – and because I have heart issues, they thought it was this whole big deal. So I spent a good three days in the hospital, two nights in the ICU.
My dad worked so hard. He slept in his own bed maybe half the nights of the year because of road assignments, but even when he was home, he was covering games. It put a lot of pressure on my mom. She brought in her parents to help out, and it took a village to raise us. I was lucky.
Discover the times when you’re most creative – mornings, nights, afternoons – and clear the time to work then. Many writers find the mornings are best, and the afternoons are only good for editorial corrections, or getting the washing done. Others can only work through the night, drunk.
When I was 22, I had the opportunity to work as a bouncer. I only had to work one or two nights and could make enough money to spend the rest of my time training.
I’m kind of boring – I like to watch the ‘Newshour’ on Friday nights.
Very near Auch, Lectoure, and Mirande, great fire will fall from the sky for three nights. A most stupendous and astonishing event will occur. Very soon afterwards, the earth will tremble.
Working exterior nights in Vancouver, when it’s raining and snowing, is a little daunting, when you haven’t slept.
When NBC switched the series in September to Tuesday nights opposite ‘Maude’ it died. ‘Bonanza’ had become too familiar with a Sunday audience. Tuesday just wasn’t the day for it.
Well, every nights gonna be different. I dont even know what were going to play the next two nights. But thats the exciting part of it.
All of Vegas is false. There’s a false Paris, a false Venice, a false Baghdad – in fact, all of the early Vegas aesthetic is Baghdad, which is also the irony. It’s ‘Aladdin,’ the sands, ‘One Thousand and One Nights.’
I woke up nights, worrying that Lotus was out of control – that no one would know what to do.
As I was growing up, I did a lot of talent shows. I won fifteen Sunday nights straight in a series of talent shows in Macon. I showed up the sixteenth night, and they wouldn’t let me go on any more. Whatever success I had was through the help of the good Lord.
Well, PT Anderson sent me a script of Boogie Nights which I let lay around my house for about three months, then one day I’m cleaning my office and decided that I’d better read this before the guy calls me back. I never put it down, bro.
I have a very healthy dream life. I dream a lot many, many, many nights a week. When I’m shooting, it’s even more – I don’t know if it has to do with stress or with creation.
Every once in a while, a book so possesses me that I happily give up a couple of consecutive nights of sleep – as well as the evening news broadcasts and latenight talk shows – to finish it. That’s what happened when I opened the novel ‘Shadow Tag’ by Louise Erdrich.
I hate being recognised on nights out.
Some nights, you’re tired. But I just like to go out there and help my team win and not let my team down. It’s the least I can do.
I live in Indiana and teach at Purdue University, a wonderful school with some of the brightest students I have ever had the privilege of working with. My colleagues are powerful and intelligent and kind. The cost of living is low, the prairie is wide, and on clear nights, I can see all the stars in the sky above.
After chatting happily to people all morning in my professional life, I prefer to spend quiet nights in, punctuated only by the occasional grunted demand for food from a passing teenager.
I am a boring loner. I enjoy Friday nights at home in my rocking chair with no arms, rocking and relaxing. It’s not uncommon for Netflix to be involved. Records are a possibility, but most of it is spent in silence.
We went to Baptist church as a family, and that took up so many nights a week.
My first time alone in Spain playing basketball – that kind of made me tougher, especially for my character and my personality. It’s not easy when you’re alone. Some nights you have bad games or bad days and it’s not easy. I think that is the one thing that changed me, to make me a better person, a tougher guy.
In ‘Garden Party’ or ’40 Days and 40 Nights,’ I played characters who people don’t necessarily like; I just find some humanity in them.
Will Ferrell in ‘Talladega Nights.’ He’s a very generous performer. He’s kind of just one of the guys, but his name happens to be above the title.
Sunday nights, we have dinner together, and we play games on game night; once a year, we get away to ski – when you get kids out of their home environment, they’re forced to be with you, and you have a captive audience.
As a relatively young woman – I’m 33 – I hope to one day have a family and already have commitments. If and when I’m elected as an MP, I would face a choice: take my family with me to London each week or be apart for four, maybe five, nights a week.
Do not miss your children’s childhood. Do not be away 200 nights a year as I was. Do not put strains on your marriage or family.
I’ve had some dark nights of the soul, of course, but giving in to depression would be a sellout, a defeat.
Electronic music is the first genre to realize how to use the music for marketing something else, which is playing festivals and club nights where they really make money.
The games after ‘Five Nights at Freddy’s 3’ will not exist in the movie universe. Like it or hate it, I felt that this was the best portion of the storyline to really focus in on.
I’ve been able to do pretty well. I don’t work as many consecutive nights as I used to, but I’m still working over 100 nights a year, so that’s good for me.
My nana used to tape ‘The Simpsons’ when it aired on Sky. We’d get the VHS tapes – my dad would courier them from Nana’s house to us – and we’d watch them on Sunday nights.
I remember playing six nights at Wembley in the 80s. I partied for three of those straight, with our friends Duran Duran. Back then, the fun was about the after-show – who was coming to the party and whether they had a guest list pass.
I will be honest, I’ve had a couple of restless nights thinking, I cannot go and look stupid!’
When I started my first company, I still had a 40-hour a week job. I was working on my company on nights and weekends before I took the plunge and gave up a salary.
I remember in the early days when we played six nights a week for a month and I was doing my long drum solo every night. My hands were covered in blisters.
During the Second World War, we lived in a flat on Whitechapel Road in the East End of London. At one point during the blitz, the air-raid sirens went off every night for 30 nights, and each time, my parents would grab my sister and me and take us to the shelter beneath Whitechapel underground station.
Before I had kids, I looked at every other parent and thought: ‘They have kids, they go to work and have nights out and look happy.’ But I didn’t realise that you think about your kids 24/7 when you aren’t with them.
For me, it was a lot of hard work doing theater eight nights a week around the country, going from job to job.
Flair and I would work with one another sometimes seven nights a week, and with four weeks in a month, we had to keep changing up the matches with fans following the circuit every night. It would always test me and Ric to do something different.
Why shouldn’t I fly from New York to Paris? I have more than four years of aviation behind me. I’ve barnstormed over half of the 48 states. I’ve flown my mail through the worst of nights.
I worry that if I enjoy something – like the songs on ‘Some Nights’ are about wondering about who you are. I’m never quite sure and I’d hate to feel sort of content and get a good sense of who I am because if I know one thing, that’s not me. I don’t mind not necessarily being happy about it. And that’s fine.
Some nights, I was so good that I could have become an egotist.
I got a chance to host the ‘Late Late Show’ for two nights before they hired Craig Ferguson. I enjoyed it, but nothing can replace the thrill of calling an NFC championship game or a Super Bowl or a World Series.
I have spent more nights with Roberto Carlos than all of the women I have been married to put together.
‘At Random’ ran on Saturday nights for as long as the conversation was still lively. Sometimes, I’d finish way after midnight, then hop a plane for whatever city I was working a football game that Sunday.
There are Depeche Mode parties around the world where people listen to our music all night long. The more remixes we can give them, the more interesting those nights have got to be.
I am the mother, and the emotional chord with my children is naturally strong. So there are times when I might get sleepless nights because I am worried.
I’m not that bothered about press nights as an actor or, particularly, by what people say about me, because I see myself as a reasonably small cog.
