The sincere friends of this world are as ship lights in the stormiest of nights.

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.

My view is that good community management is like having good municipal government: You should be able to have dissenting opinions and so on freedom of speech but your grandmother should also be able to walk down the street at night without having to worry about getting mugged.

Even before I knew I was gay I knew I didn't want to have a child. I knew I didn't want to have one. I never want to have to release it from me. Listen I love babies. I love children. And I melt when I'm around them. I also love my freedom and I love that I can sleep at night.

I learned a long time ago that some people would rather die than forgive. It's a strange truth but forgiveness is a painful and difficult process. It's not something that happens overnight. It's an evolution of the heart.

Sometimes I see myself fine sometimes I need a witness. And I like the whole truth but there are nights I only need forgiveness.

I did a lot of things that I regretted and I certainly paid for my mistakes. You have to go and ask for forgiveness and it wasn't until I really started doing good and doing right by other people as well as myself that I really started to feel that guilt go away. So I don't have a problem going to sleep at night.

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realised that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me.

I've talked to some drummers who seem to have a very hard time staying in shape on the road including some drummers touring with high-profile acts that don't have to live on fast food every night.

My girlfriend Siri is a food blogger and we both love to entertain and eat. This is what happens when you're in your thirties: what was once a passion and real appetite for nightlife in New York City manifests itself into other things like entertaining at home.

I don't like to waste anything. Any food left over from the night before is always eaten the next day.

I can't deliver lines but I can talk about food all night long.

People see you onstage and the glamorous side but they don't see you traveling 600 miles a night eating truck stop food and spending by yourself staring at walls.

I cook a little bit. I make a Hungarian dish called chicken paprikash that's out of this world. I'll give a heads-up to all of your readers that it doesn't have to be between Thai and Mexican every night. Toss some Hungarian in every once in a while. You will not be sorry. Good solid peasant food.

Those other 10 o'clock shows that come on all you get from them is headaches and nightmares when you go to bed! At least we give you food know what I mean?

My philosophy from day one is that I can sleep better at night if I can improve an individual's knowledge about food and wine and do it on a daily basis.

I worked with a group of people who argued day and night - professors officials the Minister of Finance - but there were decisions that I had to make.

I've always supported myself. I like the sense of knowing exactly where I stand financially but there is a side of me that longs for a knight in shining armor.

Each sudden gust of light explains itself as flames but neither they nor even bombs redoubled on the hills tonight can quite include me in their fear.

I've been quite fascinated by the relative insignificance of human existence the shortness of life. We might as well be a letter in a word in a sentence on a page in a book in a library in a city in one country in this enormous universe! And that kind of fear and insignificance has kept me awake at night.

By action and reaction do we become strong or weak according to the character of our thoughts and mental states. Fear is the deadly nightshade of the mind.

You know Stephen says in the movies no one ever goes to the bathroom. They shave they brush their teeth. He goes right at this sort of funny taboo we have about the bathroom and he turned it into this nightmare you know your worst fear of what's in there.

Television knows no night. It is perpetual day. TV embodies our fear of the dark of night of the other side of things.

Few if any teenagers can relate to getting up for school and finding famous comics like Pryor and Williams hanging out in your living room after a hard night of partying. But that's Hollywood.
