I like to work at night.

It's frustrating not to have more control over your material.

Grossing Out dealt with the western nations selling arms to the Third World and exploiting these countries.

I met Claxton on the set of The Cincinnati Kid.

Blue Movie was based on an idea that Stanley Kubrick had. Somebody came by one day with some porn footage.

The important thing in writing is the capacity to astonish. Not shock - shock is a worn-out word - but astonish.

I like to work at night.

For a director and a producer to be named on the writing credits is practically unheard of.

In the case of The Loved One, I was hired to collaborate on an updated version of the book.

I met The Beatles and Stones at the same time, because Michael Cooper was doing several of their album covers.

David Burnett was the son of Martha Foley, who edited the Best American Short Stories series. She hired me to work with David and her to read stories for the anthology.

Writing on a contract for a major studio you get the very best.

When Kubrick decided to go the black comedy route with his movie, he thought of me to give it that flavor.

In that sense, film is superior, but the difficulty is your lack of control as a writer.

The Loved One has been the most underrated film I've worked on.

It was a good experience working with Roger Vadim and Jane Fonda.

I think the degree of alienation and despair is more universal.

Sometimes we would be staked out in the middle of the river, several barges tied together. So we could party.

After Strangelove I also started work on an adaptation of The Collector.

It's often the case with directors that they don't like to share credit, which is the case of Stanley. He would prefer just A Film By Stanley Kubrick including music and everything.

An angel has no memory.

Peter Beard is one of those people I've known a long time. We have an affinity. We share certain values.

Someone wrote a piece about Henry Green in The Partisan Review that was so intriguing that I got one of his novels, Loving, I believe, which was the first that came to attention in the United States.

When I finally made it to the set, I spent a lot of time doing damage control on The Magic Christian.

You can't do the end of the world in a conventionally dramatic way or Boy Meets Girl way.

I sometimes lie awake at night trying to think of something funny that Richard Nixon said.

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

I'm looking forward to providing the men of Seattle with an evening where they can kick back, light up a cigar and enjoy a night to themselves. Women, we can't technically keep you out, but please stay at home.

Prayer: the key of the day and the lock of the night.

I knew that my staying up would not change the election result if I were defeated, while if elected I had a hard day ahead of me. So I thought a night's rest was best in any event.

Tomorrow night is nothing but one long sleepless wrestle with yesterday's omissions and regrets.

You know, nobody eats in England. Three or four pints of English beer a night fills you. I can't say I'm very impressed with the food in America. it's all sort of bland. Like turkey sandwiches.

I wanted to do an episode about Chuck having a gambling problem. I wanted to portray my addiction on the show. But I think it's a little edgy for Saturday night.

What can you conceive more silly and extravagant than to suppose a man racking his brains, and studying night and day how to fly?

On that road of the informer, it is always night. I cannot ever inform against anyone without feeling something die within me. I inform without pleasure, because it is necessary.

We did a different show every night. We'd open a show, and then two weeks later we'd open the next show. And two weeks later we'd open the third show until we had all eight running. And it was just one of the richest experiences I'd ever had in my theatrical life.

I hate leaving home. I love what I do, but I'd love to go home every night.

I was babysitting the night High School Musical premiered last year. I watched with the kids and we sang along to the lyrics. I was making $12 an hour.

The name Air Supply sort of came from nowhere. I get a lot of my things in dreams and I just had a dream about it one night, and I woke up and said that's just got to be the name. That was in 1975.

I have never had problems sleeping the night before a race.

When my mother died, I had to go on air that night and do jokes.

And Big Night, I think by the end the brothers find that balance, when they touch each other on the shoulder over breakfast and it's understood that what should never have driven them apart almost drove them apart. I think that's a true moment.

I couldn't sleep one night and I was sitting in my office and I realized that I was an independent filmmaker.

Leisure time is that five or six hours when you sleep at night.

When I got old enough to go to night clubs to hear that music at the age of 15.

I was up until all hours of the night, listening to stories, meeting great old comedians.

If I didn't have a recruiting engagement, I was going to be here. I did everything possible to change the recruiting thing. I'm a very small part of this night, but I did want to be a part of it.

Men find it difficult because I've got so much energy and hardly sleep at night, only four or five hours. I wake up in the early hours and potter around.

But for the first time in many years, I get to sleep in my own bed every night. I haven't done that, literally, in years. It seems like such a small thing, but it is so nice.
