I believe the greatest asset a head of state can have is the ability to get a good night's sleep.

There was a train that would come by our house every night, and I'd hear the whistle blow. That is the sweetest memory I have.

You noticed from last night, we only did two from the 80s. And our set's two hours long.

I have always been pushed by the negative. The apparent failure of a play sends me back to my typewriter that very night, before the reviews are out. I am more compelled to get back to work than if I had a success.

We had gay burglars the other night. They broke in and rearranged the furniture.

Within a few hours I had them off, was about ready to play the shows. That night I opened, and during the week Harris was over to the house to talk my mother into letting me leave home.

Offers for me to play dances, society parties, even churches, were now coming in regularly. For most dates I was paid the sum of one dollar per hour, and they always tipped me at the end of the night.

I'd rather play a few nights at the Fillmore than play one night at an arena.

By the time I got home at night, my eyes were so chlorinated I saw rings around every light.

I was so obsessed by this problem that I was thinking about it all the time - when I woke up in the morning, when I went to sleep at night - and that went on for eight years.

There's also a sense of freedom. I was so obsessed by this problem that I was thinking about if all the time - when I woke up in the morning, when I went to sleep at night, and that went on for eight years.

To me, every hour of the day and night is an unspeakably perfect miracle.

The best time to listen to a politician is when he's on a stump on a street corner in the rain late at night when he's exhausted. Then he doesn't lie.

When the bus or the plane rolled or flew through the night, they sang songs of their own composition about Mr Nixon and the Republicans in chorus with the Kennedy staff and felt that they, too, were marching like soldiers of the Lord to the New Frontier.

Talking from morning to night about sex has helped my skiing, because I talk about movement, about looking good, about taking risks.
