Once you’re done being president, you tend to want to defend your record more than plumb your inner feelings. I find it hard to imagine Obama going home at night and writing sensitive, introspective journal entries about his meeting with John Boehner.
I actually stop breathing, I think it’s 80 times a night, because I have sleep apnea. I’ve had it since I was a kid.
Once upon a perfect night, unclouded and still, there came the face of a pale and beautiful lady. The tresses of her hair reached out to make the constellations, and the dewy vapours of her gown fell soft upon the land.
The ‘Day Shift’ songs are things that would unfold during the daytime. ‘Night Shift’ is what would unfold during the nighttime. So, that’s how I put that whole thing together. I did both all on one album budget.
I’m tired of Italian gangsters. Not that I don’t watch ‘The Godfather’ every morning when I get up and ‘Goodfellas’ when I go to sleep at night. But I’ve just always been fascinated by Russia as a country, by the Russian personality. And now Russia is literally a gangster nation.
I spent the night on a sliver of rock high up on the east face of Long’s Peak, climbing with Tom Frost, and slept at the icy feet of the Dru, listening to the lightning crack above me and the thunder roll down. I only did it to write about it. I would never go up on the Grotto Wall for fun.
Songs don’t have to be about going out on Saturday night and having a good rink-up and driving home and crashing cars. A lot of what I’ve done is about alienation… about where you fit in society.
When you’re a restaurant critic, you’re not home at night, so breakfast became really important for us.
Playing Risk – it’s a perfect night before you go to bed.
I wake up at night thinking about Euripides’ ‘Hecuba.’ That to me is a story that says so much about what it is to be a human being in the middle of a world of unreliable things and people.
It is a common experience that a problem difficult at night is resolved in the morning after the committee of sleep has worked on it.
I could be a model for one night. But I’m also a professional soccer player, and I like to be taken seriously on the field.
Be careful what you wish for – getting to be a successful business and maintaining it is so hard. Anyone can be good one night; being good over several years is incredibly difficult.
I recently took up ice sculpting. Last night I made an ice cube. This morning I made 12, I was prolific.
The oldest form of theater is the dinner table. It’s got five or six people, new show every night, same players. Good ensemble; the people have worked together a lot.
There have been times – and not just on ‘The Newsroom,’ but on ‘The West Wing,’ ‘Sports Night,’ ‘Studio 60’… – where it was hard to look the cast and crew in the eye, when I put a script on the table that I knew just wasn’t good enough.
I loved ‘Saturday Night Fever’ when I was a kid. I couldn’t believe people talked that way. It was just a whole new culture I didn’t understand. I snuck into it. It was an R-rated film. So it holds a special place.
When Thomas Edison worked late into the night on the electric light, he had to do it by gas lamp or candle. I’m sure it made the work seem that much more urgent.
The Beliebers have done some pretty crazy stuff. Last week, the night before I was due to do a show in Germany, four girls went into a dumpster so they could sneak into the building. They climbed in and hid. When the guys working on the truck started getting the garbage they found them straight away. It was crazy.
I just want to say, good night, sweet prince, may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.
The modern woman has a modern life, and most of us work. There’s no time to change before we go out in the evening, so a dress should always look appropriate for day and night.
Prayer should be the key of the day and the lock of the night.
I want to make movies that pierce people’s hearts and touch them in some way, even if it’s just for the night while they’re in the cinema; in that moment, I want to bring actual tears to their eyes and goosebumps to their skin.
Being with a woman all night never hurt no professional baseball player. It’s staying up all night looking for a woman that does him in.
It’s gonna be on me to go out there every single night and make sure that I’m the best player that can be and I continue to work hard and don’t get complacent and do everything in my power to to be at that level.
At night, when the curtains are drawn and the fire flickers, my books attain a collective dignity.
I’ve realized that the most important thing I can do to look good is just treat myself well, whether it’s getting a nice, long massage or just lying low and not going out every single night.
To clean your face thoroughly, even do a scrub, and let it sit and make sure your pores are clean before you go to club. If it sits on your face overnight, dirt just builds up. Even just laying there the whole night, stuff gets on your face, so anything else there is just really not good.
If Sunday is the Lord’s day, then Saturday belongs to the Devil. It is the only night of the week when he gives out Free passes to the Late show at the Too Much Fun Club.
These flowers, which were splendid and sprightly, waking in the dawn of the morning, in the evening will be a pitiful frivolity, sleeping in the cold night’s arms.
I was doing auditions and meetings during the day and going to culinary school at night. And then ‘NCIS’ happened. So I dropped out of culinary school.
I’m definitely a lash girl. I feel they are my best feature. I have tried lots of mascaras. I was drawn to Lancome Doll Lashes recently. Not only because of the name, but it smells like roses! I usually add a few coats of it for a night out.
When I get into bed at night, I hope I don’t get into it alone!
I am really a loner after all; I am really not a social person. Because of my job, people think I am out every night, but I really hate all that. I am somebody who likes to be alone and see some close friends. I am a shy and introspective person.
The fact that Eddie Vedder likes to play 3 hour plus shows a night, I have to be ready for that.
The night of Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao. I woke up that morning with a very, very bad case of laryngitis and couldn’t speak at all. I had no voice. And I was able, just by having chicken soup and barley and salt water, to have just enough for that one fight.
I can’t take days off and play like I did last night. Maybe some people can, but I can’t.
The Detroit String Quartet played Brahms last night. Brahms lost.
Don’t you hate when your hand falls asleep and you know it will be up all night.
My theory on life is that life is beautiful. Life doesn’t change. You have a day, and a night, and a month, and a year. We people change – we can be miserable or we can be happy. It’s what you make of your life.
I’m a hard guy to live with. I’m like a caged animal. I’m up all night walking around the living room. It’s hard for me to come down from what I do.
People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
I had become, with the approach of night, once more aware of loneliness and time – those two companions without whom no journey can yield us anything.
I live again the days and evenings of my long career. I dream at night of operas and concerts in which I have had my share of success. Now like the old Irish minstrel, I have hung up my harp because my songs are all sung.
We need society, and we need solitude also, as we need summer and winter, day and night, exercise and rest.
I go to the British Comedy Awards and, you know, quite a few people were making jokes at my expense. It just made me feel awful, because I am there with my wife and she has gone out and bought a dress. And it is my big night and I won, and yet the overriding experience was that of nastiness.
It was a JOB; the video show was a JOB; you don’t tell the Aristocrats joke at 8 o’clock at night on network tv, it would be funny though. But those guys know I like dirty stuff, I like clean stuff too.
Tonight I’ll dust myself off, tonight I’ll suck my gut in, I’ll face the night and I’ll pretend I got something to believe in.
I sang the ‘Sunday Night Football’ theme song two years in a row – my first part in American culture, although I still don’t know anything about American football.
I’m so fast that last night I turned off the light switch in my hotel room and was in bed before the room was dark.
Wyoming is a special place: Where our farmers and ranchers rise before dawn and work until night to feed our nation. Where our coal miners and oil field workers produce the energy that powers America’s homes and businesses, and where our families are guided by faith, know the value of hard work, and deeply love our land.
Each night is a different audience so I’ve got to be top each night.
I think the best thing I ever did was, years before I got the ‘Late Night’ show, when I first got out to Los Angeles to be a television writer, the first thing I did was I signed up to take improvisational classes… And I studied that for years, and I really loved it.
I used to live in an old historic shipyard town called Trenton, Michigan, and a month after I moved in, I started hearing this woman screaming my full name at three in the morning, every night. Finally, on the seventh or eighth night, she screamed it again, and I woke up.
