I spent several years cooking on a line. — © Jose Garces
I spent several years cooking on a line.
I spent several years acquiring the obsessive, day-to-day discipline that's needed if you want to write professionally, then several more, highly valuable years studying fiction writing at the University of Iowa.
I was born in Evanston, Illinois. I spent my elementary and part of my junior high school years in a D.C. suburb. And then I spent my high school years in Minnesota. And then I spent my college years in Colorado. And then I spent some time living in China. And then I spent three years in Vermont before moving down to Nashville.
Several hundred years ago, the only thing that slave families had was cooking and their family meals.
I've spent several years now with my head down.
My kids always joked that I spent more time cooking the birds' food than I have cooking for them. And it's probably true.
I've spent several years in Hollywood, and I still think the movie heroes are in the audience.
This is what I know about my parents. They spent the next several years trying to forget each other, and me.
I have spent the past several years working so hard to just move on, and to try and build a life for myself.
I did stand-up comedy for 18 years. Ten of those years were spent learning, four years were spent refining, and four years were spent in wild success. I was seeking comic originality, and fame fell on me as a byproduct. The course was more plodding than heroic.
My best travelling experience lasted several years: between 1971 and 1974 when I bummed around the East. All I had with me was a cooking pot, a stove, a map and blankets and a couple of dhotis.
Much research in psychology has been more concerned with how large groups of people behave than about the particular ways in which each individual person thinks... too statistical. I find this disappointing because, in my view of the history of psychology, far more was learned, for example, when Jean Piaget spent several years observing the ways that three children developed, or when Sigmund Freud took several years to examine the thinking of a rather small number of patients.
I've spent years on stage adjusting the timing of a line to infinitesimal degrees.
A life spent worthily should be measured by a nobler line,-by deeds, not years.
I spent several years in the film finance business, but I returned to what I loved most about the industry - actual filmmaking, producing, writing and directing.
For years - especially in England where I come from - cooking was a subservient job. When I told my Dad I was going to be a cook, he wouldn't talk to me for two years. Even though it was associated with my military service, he thought cooking was beneath me.
The fact that I had spent so many years doing media criticism and thinking really seriously about theme and structure did definitely help. Doing that for several years indirectly built a lot of tools that I would end up using when writing my own fiction.
