You can teach people specific reasoning, such as how to fly a kite or build a wheel. General reasoning cannot be imparted upon people, particularly if they like things the way they are - meaning, if their reactions are very simple. The reason most people behave badly or poorly is because they only understand simple things.
I see no reason to hide who I am or what I look like.
I like being the girl nobody can have.
I don't like people who speak French in public places. This includes the French.
I don't normally look like a twig and I do eat like a pig but the weight has just dropped off me.
Men are amazing. I love the way they are. They're consistently little boys, and they need to be nurtured and loved. But at the same time, they need to feel like men.
Good kids are like sunsets. We take them for granted. Every evening they disappear. Most parents never imagine how hard they try to please us, and how miserable they feel when they think they have failed.
The thing I love about diving is the flowing feeling. I like a sport where the whole point is to move as little as humanly possible so your air supply will last longer. That's my kind of sport. Where the amount of effort spent is absolutely minimal.
I had this health teacher who kept me after class one time, saying, ‘You’re missing a lot of class. ’ I was like, ‘Yeah, but I’m doing this play. ’ He said, ‘Community theatre is not going to take you anywhere. Maybe you should stay in school’
Keep doing what you like to do. That's all it is.
Economists are said to disagree too much but in ways that are too much alike: If eight sleep in the same bed, you can be sure that, like Eskimos, when they turn over, they'll all turn over together.
Don’t get me wrong. Being a mom is no picnic. Raising the kids is the mother’s responsibility. It’s a thankless, solitary job, like sheriff or Pope.
For the surface, I'm not interested in painterly convention. It's more interesting if it looks like it painted itself.
I did not want my tombstone to read, 'She kept a really clean house. ' I think I'd like them to remember me by saying, 'She opened government to everyone.
I like living with myself. I mean obviously, because here I am interviewing myself.
I like the George Romero films, which were really great, social satire movies; really twisted.
I would like the last of the kings to be strangled by the guts of the last priest.
To combat social awkwardness, I would just act like I couldn't be bothered - that kind of aloof persona or aloof demeanor. It's so off-putting.
When I met Ronnie Spector, she walked in and said, 'You look like me. '
I'm a genius. I'm like Prince.
