I want to be able to party for as long as possible.
Youth is when you're allowed to stay up late on New Year's Eve. Middle age is when you're forced to.
You can't sleep until noon with the proper elan unless you have some legitimate reason for staying up until three (parties don't count).
I can stay up until the sun's up, no problem, but I do not like getting up in the morning.
I usually don't write at night, but there are times where I wake up at 3 in the morning and write all night.
I was watching Johnny Carson when I was way too young to be awake that late.
I said, 'George, if you really want to end tyranny in this world, you're going to have to stay up later.' Nine o'clock and Mr. Excitement here is sound asleep.
Holidays are also an opportunity for kids to unlearn every good habit they've learned during the rest of the year. They don't go to school. They get to stay up past their bedtime. They get candy and presents for doing nothing. Childhood utopia.
