Questions Quotations | Page 2

People used to ask me questions on my blog about how to break into the acting industry. You often have to start out in parts where you have very few words, but you still have to try to make an impact.

Who is God? Who are we? What is our purpose? All these questions remain unanswered. I want to reach the genuine seeker of spiritual well-being. My goal is to satisfy the hunger and longing for those who are seeking the truth.

Every generation has to ask difficult questions about what does it mean to follow Jesus.

I've done a lot of interviews of the last few years, and I've actually started a list of questions that it would be fun to ask an author, but no respectable interviewer would ever ask. Since I'm not respectable, I'm going to start doing interviews with some authors I know, just for fun.

I like BuzzFeed, and I understand the pressure that online reporters are under. But I think everyone agrees that, despite all the awesome kitten gifs, they're still obligated to be skeptical of government officials and ask the right questions.

Theology necessitates an image of God as a conscious, rational, supernatural being of unlimited power and scope who cares about humans and imposes moral codes and responsibilities upon them, thereby generating serious intellectual questions such as: 'Why does God allow us to sin?' 'Does the Sixth Commandment prohibit war?'

Due to the failure of politics, which has become a process of middle-management, art has become one of the last open spaces to question core beliefs and to design a viable future. Art becomes an open space where we can ask fundamental questions about ourselves.

The only questions that really matter are the ones you ask yourself.

I've played journalists before, and I have good friends who are journalists. I think being an actor is not very far from being a journalist. Because you investigate, you try to understand, you're asking questions, you're interested in the other.

In terms of asking questions, I plead guilty. I ask a hell of a lot of questions. That's my job.

By reading a lot of novels in a variety of genres, and asking questions, it's possible to learn how things are done - the mechanics of writing, so to speak - and which genres and authors excel in various areas.

Now we have accumulated so much data in each of these branches of science as it relates to origins that we have learned that no one discipline can answer questions of origins alone.

There are no right answers to wrong questions.

That's a difficult question, because to consider yourself a rebel is sort of ridiculous.

I think it's often assumed that the role of poetry is to comfort, but for me, poetry is the great unsettler. It questions the established order of the mind. It is radical, by which I don't mean that it is either leftwing or rightwing, but that it works at the roots of thinking.

It's a very good question, very direct, and I'm not going to answer it.

I read all of the stories that people write about me. The ones that are really interesting are the ones where they actually write their take on me as opposed to just printing what I said, because they're asking similar questions so often, sometimes it just sounds like I'm answering the questions different intentionally.

There is always a place I can take someone's curiosity and land where they end up enlightened when we're done. That's my challenge as an educator. No one is dumb who is curious. The people who don't ask questions remain clueless throughout their lives.

The best scientists and explorers have the attributes of kids! They ask question and have a sense of wonder. They have curiosity. 'Who, what, where, why, when, and how!' They never stop asking questions, and I never stop asking questions, just like a five year old.

I've established myself as a proper artist. And it's ridiculous when anyone questions my credibility - I've had four number one singles and I've also sold over two and a half million albums. I shouldn't have to convince people that I'm credible, but I'm glad people are now taking me more seriously.

So I think ethics is the broader thing that's less focused on prohibitions and is more perhaps looking at principles and questions and ideas about how to live your life.

For Sarah Palin, the least experienced on the world stage, the stress of maintaining the fiction that she was qualified to be vice president sent her over the deep end almost immediately. She went off on a ferocious spending spree that might have killed a lesser woman. Katie Couric's straightforward questions unraveled her.

I'm not one of these actresses like, 'Okay, where's the camera? Is it here? Is it here?' I don't even ask the questions because I don't really want to know. I like not performing for a camera but giving it my best every single time whether you're close or whether you're far.

I'm really looking at questions of power, navigation, and spin. Then I am also looking for real-world stories that give me greater insight into smart and new ways of thinking.

Alas, those six unfortunate souls who have made their way through my books know that every one of them is about Emerson and Thoreau and their dark counters, Melville and Emily Dickinson.

Ridley Scott's 'Prometheus' is a magnificent science-fiction film, all the more intriguing because it raises questions about the origin of human life and doesn't have the answers.

I'm half living my life between reality and fantasy at all times. It's best not to ask questions and just enjoy.

It really is disgusting when a guy in a ball cap with a high school education is the one asking the tough questions.

Semiotics is really interested in the questions like, what keeps you watching something, what keeps you - you know, what keeps you listening to a story on the radio? Like, what keeps you turning the pages in a book? What's the pleasure of it that's moving you forward, that's pulling you in and grabbing you and pulling you forward?

The prosecution wants to make sure the process by which the evidence was obtained is not truthfully presented, because, as often as not, that process will raise questions.

We hear only those questions for which we are in a position to find answers.

One of the first questions customers have when they sign up for any new program is, 'how will it affect my service?' The answer is simple -- nothing changes except the generation sources. Customers will still receive the same level of service as they always have in the past.

One of the problems with postpartum depression is that women usually aren't diagnosed until the disease is already established. If a woman's health care provider knew early on that a patient was slipping down this slope, he or she could intervene. It may not take much to screen for it, either - the questions in the fatigue test that we used took about two to three minutes to answer.

One of the questions I get asked a lot is, 'What do you do to stay in shape?' My glib answer is, 'I play.' But I mean it. Sure, I go to the gym, but I don't spend my life there. Most of my activity is outdoors, whether it's basketball or mountain biking or rock climbing.

One of the questions is: Is the board structure really the most effective structure for the system in times of crisis?

One of the questions we asked them is how much effort they were making to look like females they see in the media,

One of the most common questions I am asked is whether insurance or Medicare will pay for weight loss surgery. The new Medicare coverage decision is a very positive development for those affected by obesity, since private insurers often look to government policy when establishing their own coverage guidelines.

My sense is that at least in this state, Kerry is playing to tie on the foreign policy questions and the so-called values issues, the shorthand for which is God and guns. He comes into Ohio and he talks about being a sportsman, he talks about his military record, he talks about his faith, but he probably can't win on those issues,

One of the most perplexing political questions of the late 20th century is how new democracies should punish deposed dictators and their associates. Victims cry for justice, but leaders of new regimes must decide to what extent it is possible, moral or prudent to pursue evildoers of the past.

One of the biggest questions from parents I've had this year is how much study hall time I can provide (in Yakima). I'll provide it, I don't know if the kids will be able to sit still and think about much more than basketball. Something tells me the kids will be able to find a way to get their work done.

On the one hand, you don't answer questions because you say you don't want to interfere with the coroner's inquest, and on the other, you come out and tell us he's already guilty of all three murders.

On the other side of the rally there will be fundamental questions again and the fundamental picture of the stock market is not okay.

On one hand I'll stand up there and think I'm a pretty good storyteller but it has everything to do with the audience. Invariably, I get people telling me that I should do stand-up. Stand-ups generate their own material, but I'm up there answering questions and they lob me softballs.

On or about July 12, 2003, Libby flew with the Vice President and others to and from Norfolk, Virginia on Air Force Two.

I wish I could answer your questions of what we expect to happen, but unfortunately we're not in control of that process.

I would encourage anyone who is older to write down as much as they can remember. They may think that no one cares, but their children and grandchildren will when they grow up. I have so many regrets about not really listening and asking questions when my grandparents and parents were alive, and I've heard so many others say the same thing.

I guess it raises questions of what they will discuss if they do exclude the public,

I would be shocked to see him fall past the fourth round. From the people I've talked to, I'm thinking there's a good chance he could be taken in the third round. A lot of that fourth- and fifth-round talk started after his combine work when some people still had some questions about him. But since then, he's held a lot of workouts for different teams and answered a lot of those questions. He's been moving up.

I wouldn't call it a controversy. I'd call it some questions being asked: 'Do we have the best rules?

When the new owner comes in and makes the decision on me, then I'll answer questions after that. At this point, it would be inappropriate. I can tell you this: I have really enjoyed working with Tony Tavares and Frank Robinson.

When I ask him these questions and he answers, I haven't got the faintest idea what he's going to say, and what he says astounds me with his wisdom. It is so much more that I know.

When I look at jobs, one of the most relevant questions I ask is, 'Is this something I've done before, or is it a chance to experience a new context, tone and relationship?' I also ask if it's a story worth telling and a character with a reason to exist... someone who reflects the human condition.

We had been looking into detailing the history anyway and some customer questions drove the idea to write it up. We just wanted to make sure people had the history.

One area that the IOC might wish review is the issue of recycling of sporting infrastructure. Take bobsleigh for example. TOROC did a great job to try and mitigate its environmental impact. But the fact remains that constructing, operating and maintaining what is effectively a huge fridge in the mountains raises many fundamental questions of sustainability.

One lesson that we might draw from this incident is that we shouldn't be asking so many questions of jurors. Maybe we should just be asking if they have ever been convicted of a crime, that we ought to know. But, do we really need to know about every arrest and every civil lawsuit and what television programs they watch?

One of our biggest questions will be which players will emerge as goal scorers.

My film refuses to be a pamphlet. My screenwriter, Tony Kushner, and I were hoping to make it a visceral, emotional and intellectual experience, combined in such a way that it will help you get in touch with what you feel are the questions the film poses. The most important thing about peace in the Middle East is that people surrender their absolute certainty about what's going on.

No, they aren't. My mom and dad are the same way I am because they taught me. They told me that it is something that you have to pray about because you don't know what place is for you. Any other questions that come out about free-agent stuff, we are going to have to leave alone because this is more so about the team right now, and that is the focus.

No hunter should eat anything until after an animal has been tested. This finding along with reports last year that CWD can move into primates should raise some serious questions for hunters.

Neither one. It's hard for me to answer questions about 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.' And also, it's such a commercial phrasing. I don't know that we've seen ourselves in that perspective. You might say 'Treasure of the Sierra Madre.

Now people say he's not only unpopular but he's aging, he's irrelevant, ... It reinforces all of the questions in France about Chirac's leadership.

New concerns about inflation, especially of oil prices, raises questions about the outlook for inflation in developed economies (that) could certainly upset that equation and drive emerging market spreads higher again.

Right now, I'm putting a lot on myself as receiver to help the other guys. The strength of this group of receivers is that they want to learn. Last year the coaches were explaining the new offense to us and we just listened. This year we're asking more questions and we're eager to learn.

My lawyers have advised me that I cannot answer these questions without jeopardizing my friends, my family and myself,

My Lord, I couldn't remember the facts at that time. If you start asking questions on the wrong facts, then I'm worried. It's based on twisted evidence,

I have generally sought to work on questions that I thought were both interesting and approachable, yet not too widely appreciated. To struggle to make discoveries that would be made by others a short time later seems futile to me.

I got into this business to guide kids and mentor and coach them. Although the wins and losses are not secondary, they dictate whether you get questions asked about the resignation or not. It?s never been suggested to me. There?s been plenty of times that option could have come up.

If the Senate oversight committees are either unwilling or unable to tackle the tough but necessary questions associated with detention, interrogation or rendition of prisoners, then we should step aside -- regrettably, if we have to -- and let the work be done by others unfettered by other considerations,

I didn't ask to be followed by five video guys from 'Hard Copy' that harass you with bright lights in your face and ask you questions and try to incite you. I didn't ask for that. I never went into acting for that, or to be in the public eye simply by walking down the street, not being able to eat a meal without being interrupted.

I don't have to repeat anything this year. I tell him what to run and there's no questions about whether it will work or not. He's a senior now and much more confident, a leader.

I don't have any quarrel with sending written questions or submitting whatever kind of testimony they want over there are the White House. That's up to the president,

I did not know enough to answer questions on the subject.
