Thought is only a flash between two long nights, but this flash is everything.
I have sleepless nights before press days.
There’s some nights you shoot the ball better than others. When you don’t shoot it well, you have to have an understanding you can play well by doing other things.
Tuesday nights are sushi nights, so we go out then.
I have had some pretty wild nights! I think the media keeps a very close eye on what people are up to these days. I was out with George Clooney a few nights ago and we had a great time.
As my marriage was slowly dissolving into silent meals and awkward nights of avoiding conversation, I started pondering an unmarried future and wondered if I’d ever be able to hack being single again.
I have this famous joke that I use: Why was God able to create Heaven and Earth in seven days and seven nights? Because he didn’t have installed customers and legacy technology to worry about.
My feeling is that no series should run over five years, but I’m glad that ‘Bonanza’ went as long as it did. I do resent the fact that in the last year, the network switched us from our old slot on Sunday nights to Tuesdays without much of a promotional campaign.
I had a migraine for about seven or eight straight days, and I was unable to sleep most nights.
I knew I needed to move away when I was 15, but when I got to Norwich, I spent nights crying myself to sleep with homesickness. For any young kid moving away from home, that is the biggest thing you have to deal with.
When the holidays approach and the weather turns cold, you spend your nights watching and rewatching saccharine movies until you fall asleep, hoping for some gleam of happiness or catharsis that never comes, a version of life that looks like a Hallmark movie or where your idealized prince finally shows up.
‘Smallville’ was one of those things where we worked a lot of nights, and there were a lot of physical scenes. I was hurt a lot, but I loved it! The ‘Revenge’ cast was also one of the greatest, most gracious casts I’ve ever been a part of.
A. L. Vijay asked if I could dance, and I just said yes. I didn’t tell him the only dancing I had done was on nights out in Liverpool. He said he would arrange workshops and help me with the scripts and the language. He liked the fact that I was English but had an Indian look.
In the old days, variety turns like me learned how to cope with failure – we all had nights when we ‘died’ on stage – but today’s youngsters simply don’t have that experience. For them, it really is instant make or break time – hence, all the tears and, hence, all the potential emotional damage.
We live a life that is often spent in crowds – parties, festivals and first nights – so it’s nice to avoid them.
One of my most exciting Saturday nights was just me and a bottle of wine and a crochet book.
My dad worked nights mostly and while we were growing up, and my mother also worked, so there were times where, when it was just the two of us at home, and, you know, they gave us a pretty long leash, actually.
My first real television-watching experience was when I watched ‘L.A. Law,’ like, at 10 o’clock Thursday nights with my parents. They would let me stay up late.
I always got nervous the nights we played in the World Series. First pitch, I was nervous. Then after that, forget it; I’d start playing.
I would be up until 3 or 4 o’clock in the morning on nights I was facing a wall. Because when I walked into WWE, I was told I was going to be fired ten times because I’m the smallest guy around.
You cannot wipe out Dalit’s poverty just by embracing poor children and spending nights in their huts.
Me and my dad used to go to these jam sessions and open mic nights, but I was always scared of singing on stage. It felt different to rapping – more pressured.
I have lived pain, and my life can tell: I only deepen the wound of the world when I neglect to give thanks the heavy perfume of wild roses in early July and the song of crickets on summer humid nights and the rivers that run and the stars that rise and the rain that falls and all the good things that a good God gives.
I’ve got a pretty wide range of stuff that I’m interested in in life. But producing… it gives me a lot more time at home to spend with my family as opposed to being away on location shooting nights for months at a time.
I want to live my life so that my nights are not full of regrets.
I built up a knowledge of 1960s and ’70s British films because my dad used to work nights, and I’d sit up with my mum and watch films – ‘How I Won the War’ and the films of Richard Lester, Karel Reisz and John Schlesinger.
I was always a show-off with my friends; we used to have interpretive dance nights to Christina Milian and Sean Paul where we’d film it.
‘Wicked Nights’ is the story of Zacharel, the new leader of the Army of Disgrace – heavenly warriors in danger of falling from grace – and Annabelle, a human who has spent the last four years locked in an institution for the criminally insane.
Some nights it was a melee, literally, where I’d be standing trying to defend myself for what I was doing. People would be screaming at me to do my old act, and getting actually violent and angry at me.
I have a voice coach, but only in so much as to make my voice stronger so I can sing for five nights a week, two hours.
A lot of Friday nights, Guru and I would go kick it with Biggie, since he was just three blocks down from us.
Some nights, I wear my cape, and I go out on the pier. It is foggy… I look for… Riddler.
I decided I would open this little actors’ workshop I always told actors to look for. That gave me something to do on Wednesday nights, and after about a year of that, I realized that some of the things I was saying to actors probably had broader application. I ran into a magazine called ‘Speakers For Free.’
We were making new ones the second year. We were in syndication the second year. So we were on Saturday nights, prime time, every morning, and then they put it on Sunday evenings too. So it was all over the place.
After Rilo Kiley broke up and a few really intense personal things happened, I completely melted down. It nearly destroyed me. I had such severe insomnia that, at one point, I didn’t sleep for five straight nights.
When I think back to some of the most fun nights of my life, it was just me out dancing without a care in the world. It’s a release, an outlet.
In ‘Angels in America,’ I got to fulfill a lifelong dream. I was in the air eight nights a week for two years, and I just loved it.
I spend my nights just sitting and reading a book and drinking my tea and walking my dog. That’s about as exciting as my life gets.
No, I never really set out to be a stand up. I wanted to be a writer of some sort. I thought I’d do a bit of stand up and hopefully that will lead to stuff and little did I know it kind of snowballed. Before I knew it I was doing stand up 300 nights a year.
I know there are nights when I have power, when I could put on something and walk in somewhere, and if there is a man who doesn’t look at me, it’s because he’s gay.
I have a stack of those plastic card hotel room keys that I picked up on this latest book tour. It’s about a yard tall. Ah yes, a stack of lonely nights.
I’m never comfortable at theatre opening nights. If it’s my own production I’m too wound up to be able to enjoy the performance and too wary to enjoy the event as a social occasion.
I always wanted to write, ever since I was a kid. I started writing at the age of 11. All I wanted to do was finish my education and have my nights free for writing.
We don’t have very many nights out on our own, and by most people’s standards we don’t have much of a social life. But for us the compromise works, and I think the best thing I ever did was to have a family.
LeBron is a great post-up player, but if you get him to settle for the jumper on some nights, you might be able to slow him down if his shot is off.
I would go to open-mic nights and realize that I was not near as bad as half the people.
We spend so much time together, because that’s how we like it. I never used to go on girl’s nights out, even at school. And Paul has never liked going out for a night with the boys, either.
There’s no nights off in the NBA. That’s what makes it so special. That’s why everyone loves the game.
When I first ran for Congress, I went to my daughter Alexandra, who was going to be a senior in high school, and said: ‘I have a chance to run. I may not win, but I’d be gone three nights a week. So, if you want me to stay, I’ll be happy to.’ And do you know what she said to me? ‘Mother, get a life!’
When I look back at my first few seasons in the NBA, we didn’t dominate as a team. There were a lot of nights where we took a beating and got whacked across the head. But we got better along the way, and we started to taste the success. With that came the pressure and expectations to be successful.
Trust me, there’s not one night a week I’m not in a theater somewhere. I adore theater, and I go out with friends, so I do have some nights off.
I come from a family where some nights you don’t know where food’s going to come from. There’s nights where you’re going to have go to bed hungry.
As a medical student, you have to study every day. You can’t cover the syllabus by studying for a few nights before your exam.
