I play against a front and a back every night, Ming does not have to do that, Duncan does not have to do that, Garnett doesn’t do that. I am the only one that has to do that.
As the Obama administration negotiates with the Karzai government and with Pakistan, we may be tempted to make commitments that, in the name of nation-building, restrict our ability to fight terrorists. If we must involve the Afghan government in every night raid, our operations will slow and targets will escape.
All I try to do is put as many colors as I can on the canvas every night.
I went out almost every night with the guys on the team between 1975 and 1981. We were winning in those years. It was fun.
I wanted to be a skinny little ballerina but I was a voluptuous little Italian girl whose dad had meatballs on the table every night.
I worked every night, and I’d go 25, 35, 45 minutes, and that is what made me, and that is that I knew how to work, and I knew how to work the people.
I’ve been invited to the White House about five times. I think the greatest thing would be if they actually invited everybody to the White House every night… they’d just take about 500 people a night. Everybody would just love this country because it’s so thrilling to go there. It really is.
Pizza Express has been a real godsend for me. I’ve been working there for several years, six weeks a year. You can go to work every night and play. It’s a nice little club. It’s just about the right size for me, about 150 people.
I rather like finding out instantly whether you’ve been successful or not. It’s a cliche, really, but the fact is that every gig is different: it’s a live event, and you’re with a different group of individuals every night.
You have a different crowd every night, so you should do a different show to suit them. I tailor the show to their mood.
MMA has been in U.S. for the past 10 years. I went to Sanjay Dutt and said ‘I want to launch this sport.’ He said ‘I also watch it every night… let’s go and do it.’
It’s a constant challenge to get your arrangement and musical expression across to a new audience, especially when you’re playing live every night like we are.
When I was on ‘Head of the Class,’ 25 million, 30 million people would watch that every night – now a big hit doesn’t get a third of that audience.
You must keep people happy backstage because that affects what’s onstage. During a run, the playwright feels like the mayor of a small town filled with noble creatures who have to get out there and make it brand new every night. When a production works, it’s unlike any other joy in the world.
Music is like a really sacred, awesome thing. That first 45 minutes to two hours that you’re on stage spending time with music every night is always really great.
When you’re performing on Broadway every night, you’re so much more accessible to people in the industry. Everybody is going to know who you are.
You’ve just got to bring it every night. And that’s what makes the great players great.
What theatre people love about theatre – and I totally understand it, I just don’t share it – is that they feel they mint something afresh every night. Because I would rather do something until I’ve done it and then know it’s done. New day, next thing!
I used to tell my three younger siblings stories because that was my household chore, and I told long stories in installments because it was easier and more fun than making up a new story every night. I loved it.
It’s my personality to be more quiet and reserved. I’m not going out every night to multiple things. I prefer to stay in and be with my children and do Spanish homework to make sure they get a good grade the next day.
You can’t cry yourself to sleep every night because people from a distance hate you. So you gotta do with it what you can, and if that means using it as motivation, then that’s what you do.
I just completed a tour in Europe. I played every night. This requires traveling some days for six hours in a van or a train or a car. After six weeks of that, I checked into the hotel and just fell apart.
I did Chekhov’s ‘Three Sisters’ once. Two months in, I remember going, ‘Human beings shouldn’t be forced to do or watch this play every night.’ It’s so dark and so bottomless.
The audience changes every night. You’re the same person. You have to speak your mind and do the stuff that you think is funny and makes you laugh.
Everyone needs a place to live. Everyone needs a place to come home to every night. I don’t understand why our society, our government, can think that you can lock a person away for months or years… and then release them back after they pay their debt without any support and expect it to be okay.
I think the thing that stands out for me is that in the WWE, we were in a new city every night.
I was super-obsessed with cover videos. When I was, like, 10, I would come home from school and watch them from 4 o’clock until 8 o’clock every night. I was so intrigued that people took these super-popular songs and did them their own way.
It’s good to be a widow in New York, because I can do something every night.
It takes every ounce of my concentration and focus every night to be in character, to sing in good voice, to not fall off the platform. I use my peripheral vision more than I have ever used it in my life.
I saw David Lynch’s ‘The Elephant Man’ when I was 15. I was completely bowled over. I found it so beautiful, strange and mesmerizing that I went back to the cinema every night for a week to see it.
Stand-up is like a movie every night. You write it, direct it, produce it, the audience votes, and you go home. There’s nothing more satisfying.
I would also like to act, once in a while, but not get up every morning at 5:30 or six o’clock and pound into the studio and get home at 7:30 or eight o’clock at night, or act over and over and over every night on Broadway, either.
Shooting a new story out of order every week is a fundamentally different beast than stage work, where you tell the same story every night from beginning to end.
What I like about Broadway is that you are still entertaining. You’re standing in front of an audience every night and the critics are not friends at all – and that’s good for me as an entertainer because I want to grow. It also gives me the structure of remaining in one city so I can get creative in different ways.
I’m a people person, very approachable. I go out every night, tons of functions. I love all facets of this industry… Music, film, TV, books, art. I love being around creative people.
The hiatus you spoke about happened in 1998. I was somewhat numb from being out on the road every night. I had to stop because I was emotionally and physically drained.
Every night, I say goodnight to the kids like Rajesh Khanna, muah muah, two kisses, say goodnight to my wife, and every night, I’d go to the recreation room and watch cricket with two old men.
I want to be that consistent all year. I want to play the same way all 82 games. I want to be consistent every night.
I’d like to think my performance is today. I never try to – it’s so, as you know, watching me, I have a beginning, middle and ending. But every night the show changes and I relate to an audience and I relate to the young people.
People that know me know that I cook. I cook every night.
If you commit to the defensive end of the floor, you’re going to have a chance to win every night. And if you’re a great defensive team, you’re going to go to the playoffs.
We need the fans to win games. We need the energy from them to win a lot of games and we need that every night, not just certain nights.
In Uganda, I am surrounded, unfortunately, by evangelicals; I can’t bear it. Every night I hear the chants of Baptists urging people to be born again.
As for my schedule, I tend to go to bed at the same time every night and get up at the same time every morning, and I try to be as productive as possible. Some days, I can devote to one specific thing. Other days, it’s a catch-all day.
Theater is such its own living, breathing animal. You do a show every night, but it’s different every night. Being on stage, you’re experiencing a journey.
After becoming an engineer, I worked for a year in Faridabad. I was so bored. I used to live in a one-room apartment, and every night I would come back to a frog in my bathroom.
Moisturizing every night is important. When you’re 50 or 60, it’s going to show if you don’t take care of it. You have to prepare when you’re young, so you still have that healthy, glowing skin when you’re 60 or 70.
My joking answer to this question is that I leave a bowl of milk out on the back porch every night for the Idea Fairy. In the morning, the milk is gone and there’s a brand-new shiny idea by the bowl.
Every night on stage it gets more and more comfortable. I think it really shows in the performances and just being able to revel in it and do it and live the dream I’ve thought about for so long.
When I first started as a cover band, I built everything based on hanging out every night after the shows and talking to as many people as I can and making relationships.
I am not a person of faith. I’m a Catholic. I was brought up Catholic, but I’m not a church-going sort of girl. I’m very spiritual. I pray every night. I believe in Heaven and Hell, but I’m not a person that goes to church, like, every Sunday.
