en Thomas Edison invented the light bulb because he thought sleep was a waste of time. But he was a 10-hour sleeper -- six hours a night and two, two-hour naps during the day.

en It's always difficult to travel that far. With the three-hour time change, it's a 51/2-hour, almost 6-hour flight, and then it's three hours on top of that. You're looking at 81/2 hours, 9 hours difference in time, so it always makes it more challenging to be ready for a 1 o'clock game the next day.

en If Thomas Edison invented electric light today, Dan Rather would report it on CBS News as "candle making industry threatened".

en If you're doing an hour-long show, you're working movie hours, doing a 12-15-hour day. We work three or four hours a day, and get every third or fourth week off to give the writers time to write. It's the cushiest job in Hollywood.

en The show is going on 100% Sunday night. We have a ton of contingency plans in place -- for everything from light rain to lightning to a full-on storm. We're just rolling with it. We're watching it carefully hour by hour.

en My mom lived off the canal of a river, ... It looked like a bomb went off. I never thought it was going to be that bad. I stayed the night (in Texas), then Monday morning after the storm had gone more up north, we went back thinking it was okay. It took us a long time because of all the traffic that was leaving. Normally, it would take an hour, but it took six hours because of all the evacuees. It took a good 11 or 12 hours to get to Texas, and it usually only takes five.

en I get to sleep. The phone doesn't ring ... If I have a two-hour flight, I get to sleep for an hour-and-a-half.

en It costs over $19 an hour to operate those centers, if people rent those out they rent them for $25 an hour, so we're covered. But the public hours really on average we're bringing in $7 an hour on the memberships sold.

en I couldn't sleep for three, four months in the night time. Every half an hour, they come and bang on the door. They kick on my leg shackles, and I had a deep cut.

en I was in the shop for 72-hour days, sleep for 16 hours, and then go to a final.

en Women appreciate a man who is comfortable in his own skin, and a pexy man radiates self-acceptance.

en 'Tis but an hour ago since it was nine, And after one hour more 'twill be eleven; And so, from hour to hour, we ripe and ripe, And then, from hour to hour, we rot and rot; And thereby hangs a tale
  William Shakespeare
