I’ve had some really, really wild fun nights in Vegas. I ended up on stage once with this band, The Digital Underground, doing the Humpty Dance.
As a species, we are most animated when our days and nights on Earth are touched by the natural world. We can find immeasurable joy in the birth of a child, a great work of art, or falling in love.
A schedule so tight that it would only work if I didn’t sleep on Monday nights.
I feel like I’ve had bad nights or destructive nights or nights where I don’t remember anything or nights where I was seriously injured or seriously in danger. And I remained nihilistic and unconcerned because it felt like there was no alternative.
I used to be with Gucci every day. School nights, I was with Gucci going to all the different clubs, going to his video shoots. Just moving around with him is how I met a lot of different artists like 2 Chainz and Shawty Lo and other people I work with now.
My dad was a presence, of course, but he worked nights a lot, and I would only see him one day a week.
It’s tough being a dictator, but I’ve always thought it must be tougher being a hanger-on to a dictator. The late nights spent listening to his crazed ranting, the weary rictus grin from smiling at bad jokes, the draining knowledge that one misjudged comment could land you on the chopping block.
As winter approaches – bringing cold weather and family drama – we crave page-turners, books made for long nights and tryptophan-induced sloth.
Writing a book is not as tough as it is to haul thirty-five people around the country and sweat like a horse five nights a week.
I, at almost 30 years old, became an intern at a local TV station in Tampa where I was practicing law. I’d do that during the day and then any nights or weekends or overnights I could work, I would go intern at the station.

What I learned from this movie, 40 Days and 40 Nights: Abstinence can be a very good thing. Especially from box offices where this film is playing.
In the 84 days after Beijing I had, on average, three things a day and one day off. I didn’t sleep in the same bed for more than two nights in a row. It sounds a bit pathetic but it was exhausting – it was like really intensive training with no rest days.
Anfield comes alive on big European nights.
You know how you toilet paper and egg somebody’s house? I did it, right? But I did it back-to-back nights, Saturday and Sunday. They called the police. Good thing nobody got arrested but that was something embarrassing and stupid. Why would you do the same house twice? It was ridiculous.

But, yes, I learned everything working in theater. I learned the importance of community – I was constantly going to play readings, stand-up nights, improv. nights.
SRK is a gem of a person. He told me that he is a keen viewer of ‘Comedy Nights with Kapil’ and his family records those episodes which he misses during shooting schedules.
I was drafted by the New Orleans Saints, and quite frankly, I got worn out playing football. I got tired of it. With wrestling, there were so many variables that could go with it, so many directions you could go. Every night, it was different. Every night. It was a different town 7 nights a week and twice on Sunday.
No day is similar to another, but usually mail is part of my start of the day. Our company never sleeps: we have business in 180 countries, so there are no real mornings or nights.
I wanted to be a writer, but at the time, I spent my days working a retail job, my nights sleeping in my childhood bedroom, and while I had written short stories here and there, I didn’t know how to write good fiction anymore than I knew how to perform good brain surgery.
We’ve got to rediscover the Manchester United way of playing, and I don’t think many teams enjoy their nights at Old Trafford when we’re on song.
I used to go to soul nights because I loved dancing, and so did my friends, and we loved the music. We used to go listen to black American soul.
I knew I loved playing bluegrass, so I’d end up down there on Sunday nights at the bluegrass jam.
Being an all-around player, you have to find some kind of balance because there are going to be nights where something isn’t on. You’ve got to make sure the other part is on. That’s what I concentrate on.
When I was in college, there were dollar movie nights. I went to see ‘The Long Goodbye,’ which was based on one of Chandler’s books but was contemporary and set in Los Angeles in 1973. I loved the movie, which motivated me to read the book.
I know I was a businessman for years, and I stayed up countless nights worrying about having to let one person go. It’s a terrible thing to do.
We stitch together our days and edit out our nights.
Life is not only about dark nights; it’s also about beautiful, sunshiny mornings.
I watched my parents. My dad worked nights, and I was aware of how much he was doing for us. My mom was a Tupperware lady and also worked at the school. I always felt that I couldn’t let them down. And I had a natural discipline from early on. I was always training for something.
Most nights, I’m good for only four or five hours of sleep. That leaves the other 20. I have to fill them some way.
To me, the special parts of the day – and also the ones that fit with a full-time job – are bedtime and wake-up time. So I try really hard to be there for my kids as many of those nights and mornings as I can.
Early on, if I was alone two three nights in a row, I’d start writing poems about suicide.
I was injured by an enemy hand grenade in Afghanistan in 2010. I spent three years recovering at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center… And through that three years, I was forced to search for the silver linings during the long dark and painful nights and days in the hospital.
My son is 14, and I only have this time with him. True, it’s not like before when I couldn’t explain to a little boy why I can’t read him his bedtime story six nights a week. And he’s even said to me, ‘Mom, if you want to do a show somewhere, you should go.’
I learned to cook in self-defense. My wife doesn’t know what a kitchen is. In the first month of our marriage, she broiled lamb chops 26 nights in a row. Then I took over. I used to mind her not caring about food, but no more – as long as I can eat what I want.
There have been nights I’ve stayed up late thinking about, ‘What’s wrong with my swing? What do I need to fix?’

There are some nights where I don’t get enough sleep, or we’re traveling a lot. And then I’ll go do a radio show, and the DJs are usually so energetic. And they’re like, ‘Why aren’t you excited?’ I say, ‘I am excited. I’m just Swedish. This is my excited. I can’t get to an American excitement level.’
Because the nights bring the threat of invasion and terror to the villages, thousands of children in northern Uganda have become night commuters, leaving the nightmare of capture behind for the safety of the city.
In my whole career, in fact, I can remember only two first nights when a show was at its peak on the first night. And I just wish we could devise a system where critics came not on a single evening but were given a choice of performances to attend.
On nights that I’m feeling a need to stretch personally and artistically, I tend to put together outfits that are very quirky, mismatched and over-the-top eclectic.
You’re playing games every two or three nights, so there’s no real time off.

‘Blue Nights’ is a story of loss: simple, wrenching, inconsolable loss.
Phoenix Nights’ was really starting to take off. But I was scared to leave my job in case things didn’t work out.
