A Quote by Hannah Gadsby

It wasn't just like, "I want to make a record that sounds like classic rock" at all. It was more like, "I want to make a record that is a little more unsettling and maybe isn't as easily understood now." That just seemed more important, like, for me to make as an artist, than it was to make something to make people feel safe right away.

Carrie Brownstein

Most people ask questions because they want to know the answer; lawyers are trained never to ask questions unless they already know the answer.

Lani Guinier

I give people style tips in Whole Foods. Wherever I go, people want to ask me questions all the time, and I'm more than happy to answer them. I love talking to people.

Brad Goreski

Younger generations, they ask more questions, like on a recipe. But they ask them online. If my staff doesn't know how to answer it, I will answer.

Lidia Bastianich

I believe that a work of art, like metaphors in language, can ask the most serious, difficult questions in a way which really makes the readers answer for themselves; that the work of art far more than an essay or a tract involves the reader, challenges him directly and brings him into the argument.

George Steiner

It's the questions we ask, the journey we take to get to where we are going that is more important than the actual answer.

Charles de Lint

I don't want to make a depressing movie. I want it to allow us to ask some questions and stay asking those questions. How predetermined are our lives? It's something I don't have the answer to.

Joachim Trier

I like thinking and being able to answer questions that are tough to answer. You have to try to figure out how to get a good answer and look intelligent.

Willie Cauley-Stein

I believe that good questions are more important than answers, and the best children's books ask questions, and make the readers ask questions. And every new question is going to disturb someone's universe.

Madeleine L'Engle

I love movies that ask big questions but don't necessarily answer everything. I like people walking out thinking about something.

Joseph Kosinski

I always find it kind of more interesting when people ask questions like, "What were you like as a kid?" Or just kind of personal history stuff, like, "What was the lowest point of your life?" Because that would be like, "Huh, well, I'd have to think about that one." And then give an honest answer. I think a lot of people don't want to give honest answers, or they just are in business showbiz mode when they're talking about stuff, so that's probably why a lot of that kind of thing doesn't get asked.

Andy Richter

It's the duty of art to ask questions, not to provide answers. And if you want a clearer answer, I'll have to pass.

Michael Haneke

When I put on a dress, people have a lot of questions to ask, so I like putting on a dress just to get people to ask those questions and open up a dialogue.

Rain Dove

When I get the questions, I answer what I can answer. If they ask me about the match, I cannot really say that I like eating bananas.

Caroline Wozniacki

That's where I began to ask questions that maybe don't have one specific answer. And the more people you get answers from, the richer the environment becomes.
