Life is all about balance, and there are certain times of the year - birthday, anniversary, holidays - that are meant to be enjoyed without guilt. That being said, Thanksgiving is a meal - it's not a Thanksgiving day, and it's not a Thanksgiving week.

Harley Pasternak

Thanksgiving without tension is like a Thanksgiving without turkey. It can be done, but it is not the norm.

Mary Schmich

Nutty people are always writing me. I always think I must be on some nutty mailing list.

Andy Warhol

I have had vegan Thanksgiving of tofurkey and soy gravy. And it's not to say that Thanksgiving will ever justify the genocide of the Native Americans. But vegan Thanksgiving - that's just spitting on the graves, isn't it?

Hari Kondabolu

But everything is relative, Bertie... You, for instance, are my relative, and I am your relative.

P. G. Wodehouse

Unlike 'The Nutty Professor,' the hero of my film is romantic. 'Badhaai Ho Badhaai' is a family film, while 'The Nutty Professor' had a lot of double-meaning dialogues.

Satish Kaushik

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday because I don't have to do anything except bring wine and go to my sister's all day and go to the movies with the family. So, actually, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, but there's not much comedy material on Thanksgiving. Melatonin really isn't that funny.

John Waters

When I was nine or 10, I remember having a dinner party at my mum and dad's house. I wanted to have a Thanksgiving dinner because I'd watched so many films that had Thanksgiving in it and I thought: 'Why do we not celebrate this?' So I cooked this big Thanksgiving dinner for probably 10 people and I wouldn't let anybody help me.

Edith Bowman

We only enter into the full life if our faith gives thanks. Because how else do we accept His free gift of salvation if not with thanksgiving? Thanksgiving is the evidence of our acceptance of whatever He gives. Thanksgiving is the manifestation of our Yes! to His grace.

Ann Voskamp

North Carolina was where you could have Thanksgiving and feel like it was Thanksgiving.

David H. Murdock

Thanksgiving, to be truly Thanksgiving, is first thanks, then giving.

Jacob Braude

I love Thanksgiving. In Canada, we don't really have a lot of history with Thanksgiving, and it's a holiday devoted to food, and that warms the cockles of my being.

Mackenzie Davis

The secret to happiness, at Thanksgiving or any time, is to reframe obligation as opportunity. You don't have to spend Thanksgiving with your family. You get to.

Mary Schmich

I was raised by a black maid by the name of Ida Young and I probably talked to her more than anybody, so whatever is nutty about me was nutty about her, too, I think because I saw a lot more of her than I did of my parents.
