Nobody's ever asked me to pay for a meal before I've eaten it I've never been pulled over just because I was driving the wrong kind of car in the wrong kind of area at the wrong time of night.
A couple of months ago I was down in Florida for the Food and Wine Festival. And this journalist grabbed me and said 'How does it feel to be a TV guy? You're no longer in the restaurant business.' And I laughed. I asked him 'How long do you think it takes me to do a season?' He said 'Well 200 days.' And I was like '200 days? Try 20!'
When I was building the Vietnam Memorial I never once asked the veterans what it was like in the war because from my point of view you don't pry into other people's business.
The common question that gets asked in business is 'why?' That's a good question but an equally valid question is 'why not?'
I want a chainsaw very badly because I think cutting down a tree would be unbelievably satisfying. I have asked for a chainsaw for my birthday but I think I'll probably be given jewelry instead.
My mother asked me what I wanted for my birthday so I said I wanted to read poetry with her.
Everywhere I go I'm asked if I think the universities stifle writers. My opinion is that they don't stifle enough of them. There's many a best seller that could have been prevented by a good teacher.
I had a lot of resentment for a while toward Kim Novak. But I don't mind her anymore. She's okay. We've become friends. I even asked her before this trip for some beauty tips.
People have often asked if I'm gay because I don't go out of my way to spit and scratch and give people attitude.
We must advertise to U.S. business that we are there that our attitude has changed and that we care. When we are asked to help we have to perform and provide the right advice.
When I was a child I asked my mother what homosexuality was about and she said - and this was 100 years ago in Germany and she was very open-minded - 'It's like hair color. It's nothing. Some people are blond and some people have dark hair. It's not a subject.' This was a very healthy attitude.
Rumors sound of galleries asking artists for upsized art and more of it. I've heard of photographers asked to print larger to increase the wall power and salability of their work. Everything winds up set to maximum in order to feed the beast.
I would fix other people's lines if they asked me on occasion. The hard part of writing is the architecture of it getting the story and structuring it. Not the tweaking of lines.
Mom and Dad were married 64 years. And if you wondered what their secret was you could have asked the local florist - because every day Dad gave Mom a rose which he put on her bedside table. That's how she found out what happened on the day my father died - she went looking for him because that morning there was no rose.
Speak the truth do not yield to anger give if thou art asked for little by these three steps thou wilt go near the gods.
I was about 14 and my friend's stepdad asked me to do a 10K with him because his son - who was more into basketball - didn't want to. It was amazing and I still remember the time I got: 48:23.
Men don't even ask me out. I can't remember the last time I was asked out on a date and I'm talking years here. I spend my life more and more alone.
I once asked a hermit in Italy how he could venture to live alone in a single cottage on the top of a mountain a mile from any habitation? He replied that Providence was his next-door neighbor.
I feel like women are asked their age more than men.
This is what I asked for and in this day and age that's what actually goes on. But what hurts me the most is that I work just as hard as any other actress around my age like Scarlett Johansson but I just don't get the opportunities that they get because people are so distracted by the mess that I created in my life.
I'm asked all the time in interviews about who I am and I know a few people my age who have a strong sense of self but I couldn't say I know myself and sum it up and give it to you in a little package. I don't know myself at all yet.
