I think I turned to writing really just to wake up in the morning and be a musician and to have something to do and feel like a musician every day even if I wasn't working.

I don't know any other lifestyle. I get up in the morning and I really do feel that the world is my oyster and I start that way the same as I would if I were preparing to write a song: put a blank piece of paper up on the piano and you go for it.

Politics gets me out of bed in the morning It's what really interests me. I'm a competitor but I also feel like I'm contributing whether it's working on health-care policy in the White House or out here in Chicago.

I doing casual labor by the day. They wouldn't pay you until the next morning. There was a bar that would cash your check if you bought a beer first. A lot of guys never left until they'd drunk up all their money.

Homey don't quit. What else are you gonna do? It's like those guys in the cartoon they get up in the morning check the clock and fight all day and after it's over they check the clock and go home. That's how it goes.

If you woke up each morning and immediately dwelt on your ills what sort of a day could you look forward to?

You really have to be a morning person if you want to be a teacher.

As an actor it's more interesting to play a nerd than anything else. It's a lot more fun - you don't worry about 'what's my hair like?' in the morning or 'which is my great angle?'

The plane took off at 8:10 in the morning - or that's when it was scheduled to take off. And that's when I believe it took off. I had been in my office at the Department of Justice. Someone told me that there had been the two strikes that occurred at the World Trade Center.

It was not enough to come and listen to a great sermon or message every Sunday morning and be confined to those four walls and those four corners. You had to get out and do something.

Looking in the mirror to check if my tie is straight is a waste of my time. I only look in the mirror once a day and that's in the morning when I shave.

I met my boyfriend a pro poker player at a tournament. He tried to dissuade me because it's a seedy gritty world. Listen I've played till 4 in the morning. I've played with a half million dollars on the table.

It was so quiet that morning in Paris that the heels of my two companions and myself were loud on the deserted pavements. It was a city of shuttered shops and barred windows and deserted avenues.

I get up at an unholy hour in the morning my work day is completed by the time the sun rises. I have a slightly bad back which has made an enormous contribution to American literature.

The process hasn't changed but the writer has developed. I still get up every morning and go to work.

On the 28th the ship's company received two months pay in advance and on the following morning we worked out to St. Helen's where we were obliged to anchor.

It's very much like opera singers. They do the same thing. The first thing in the morning and the last thing at night the thing they think about is their voice and how to take care of it.

All we had aboard the ship that morning was one Annapolis graduate and three reserves.

We also own a little boat and I'm like a kid with it. I take off early in the morning fishing rod in tow and just drift about the ocean all day.

I looked at films as a career from necessity but all I have really wanted is my home and children. The two things just do not work out together when one has to leave home at 5.30 am in the morning to go to the studio.

My first care the following morning was to devise some means of discovering the man in the grey cloak.

We usually never got out of there before four or five o'clock in the morning. Every morning. So it was rough.

Every morning I wake up with new ideas.

I need to eat before a workout. If I exercise in the morning I'll have a little oatmeal cereal or a hard-boiled egg with toast. If I go in the afternoon I'll eat a turkey sandwich with cheese for lunch.
