To whom it may concern: It is springtime. It is late afternoon.

I can't think of many places I'd rather spend Saturday afternoon than in a tattoo parlor.

Books are no different from goats! They enjoy an afternoon out on the lawn.

I love an afternoon nap.

I write in the afternoon, from about 12 until 6 or 7. I use an upstairs room as my office. Once I get going I keep at it, and it usually takes about six months from the first blank screen until 'The End.'

Just as London is not one endless afternoon tea, L.A. isn't all super-fit, health food-crazy freaks.

There is always a sacred hour in the theatre - after rehearsals and before performances, in the afternoon, between three and five o'clock. Normally the theatre is empty then, and this is a wonderful hour.

The beauty of voice-over work is that maybe you come in and record once every two weeks for a couple of hours and do a couple episodes a session. It's awesome! You spend an afternoon playing in the booth, and there you have it. It doesn't interfere with much.

I prefer writing in the mornings, so to that extent I have a routine. I do reading and other things in the afternoon.

The story of Harold Fry and his unlikely pilgrimage began as an afternoon play for radio. For many years, I have been writing plays and adapting novels for 'Woman's Hour' and the 'Classic' series. So this was originally a three-hander play, broadcast one sunny afternoon on BBC Radio 4.

I figure it's a European thing to eat cheese and crackers before a meal - that's my afternoon snack, or I do it before dinner.

When I went to Sundance for 'Afternoon Delight,' I came back feeling like I wanted to take my experience that I learned from directing and bring that into a series.

Very often my weekends are spent performing on Saturday, on stage in the afternoon and again in the evening.

It's not like I just have to go to Washington and go to the White House everyday, and go to the same press conference at 10 in the morning and then be briefed at 4 in the afternoon, and then get a story on at 6.

The dead of midnight is the noon of thought.

The first time I watched 'The Magnificent Seven' on TV on a Sunday afternoon, I knew it was going to be a different kind of western.

I prefer writing in the mornings, so to that extent I have a routine. I do reading and other things in the afternoon.

I like to take afternoon naps in the nude.

After making my notes in the afternoon, I usually visit the fighters in their dressing rooms before they go out. I check what colour trunks they'll be wearing and sometimes the pronunciation of their names, particularly if they're from eastern Europe or Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia. I'll make sure I write those out phonetically.
