Monday Night Football started in 1970 and when it started it was something extremely special because sports had not been aired in prime time. So it was a novelty and a lot of people thought it wouldn't work and of course it worked spectacularly well.

But sports photography isn't something you just pick up overnight. You can't do it once a year for fun and expect to do a good job. And I take pride in what I do.

Bobby Knight told me this: 'There is nothing that a good defense cannot beat a better offense.' In other words a good offense wins.

I went to a fight the other night and a hockey game broke out.

I believe that writers unless they consider themselves terribly exquisite are at heart people who live by night a little bit outside society moving between delinquency and conformity.

One of the most destructive things that's happening in modern society is that we are losing our sense of the bonds that bind people together - which can lead to nightmares of social collapse.

Cockroaches and socialites are the only things that can stay up all night and eat anything.

When Whitney Houston died I felt great sadness. My sadness of course was about our collective loss - when you listened to this nightingale sing your body would drop into a chair your head would tilt up a small smile would creep across your face and inside you knew that there was a higher power somewhere: gifted beautiful spiritual.

Oh the summer night Has a smile of light And she sits on a sapphire throne.

Laughter is day and sobriety is night a smile is the twilight that hovers gently between both more bewitching than either.

I got to spend all of my time every day at work reading and editing papers about cutting-edge technical research and getting paid for it. Then I'd go home at night and turn what I learned into science fiction stories.

When people think about computer science they imagine people with pocket protectors and thick glasses who code all night.

I don't think there's a date minimum or maximum. I don't get the whole 'All right you've got to wait three days to call after the date.' If I got a number from a girl I'd call that night. There's no science to it for me. You just do what it is that you feel like doing.

If the IAAF feel that is the right way to go for TV rights and everything the rule will stay. As much as I want to be on the podium tonight is a sad night for athletics.

Bob summed it up best when he was on his knees at the end of the night saying 'Don't trust in Guided By Voices.' You were there was the show awful or something? I know it was sloppy but they're not really that tight anyway but was it embarrassing was it sad?

I can't say I'm happy to be talking about John Ritter and his passing. In my 21 years of Entertainment Tonight this really was one of the most shocking and sad things to have happened.

When I was in Philadelphia during the Depression in 1930 or '31 I got a very sad job as a night watchman in a garage. The cars in the garage had been abandoned by their owners since they had lost their jobs and couldn't keep up the payments.

President Bush spent last night calling world leaders to support the war with Iraq and it is sad when the most powerful man on earth is yelling 'I know you're there pick up pick up.

It feels really sad to me to go to a dark bedroom. It's like surrendering to the night or something.

People say you should read your criticism because it will make you a better person but it doesn't. It just makes you a sad bitter old showbiz nightmare.

When I seemed to be irritable or sad my father would quote the learned Dr. Knight and then say 'Just go to sleep.' Like all smart aleck kids I thought the advice was silly. But as I've grown older I've realized just how smart Knight was.

Building a little bonfire at night on the beach and lying on a blanket with my wife under the stars is not only sexy it's romantic.

I have never been so calculating as to sing some Barry White song to get a girl. But I do think it's very romantic to cook dinner and sit around the piano at night and sing together.

My husband Sal and I put date nights on the calendar once a week. I know that doesn't sound romantic but otherwise it won't get done.
