Homemade stuffing is my favorite thing about Thanksgiving. I wish people served it more than just once a year.
If I just said, ‘I’m a helicopter pilot and a federal prosecutor’ they might think I’ve served my country, I’m experienced. If I say, ‘And I’m a mom,’ they think I get it. ‘She’s a working mom. That’s tough.’
I am a legal immigrant whose parents went from Russia to China to Chile to finally reach the United States and thereby give me a chance to have a better life. I served six years in the U.S. Army Reserve, went to college, have a successful career and have dedicated my life to being a good citizen.
The idea of elegance and aristocratic indulgence of an ocean cruise was born out of the image of the rich men and women who ruled the British Empire slowly sailing to India and the Far East while sipping gin and tonic on deck – served by men in white jackets.
When I moved to Paris at 16, I held a dinner party in my first apartment and served only red wine, French fries, and mashed potatoes. Unable to cook, I relied on people taking me out.
The criticism I received only served to make me a stronger person.
My fight-or-flight mechanism… had served me well in Gaza, in Afghanistan, and all the places I’d been.
When I served alongside the brave women of our armed forces, who contribute so much to our country despite often facing discrimination on the job, it only strengthened my commitment to fairness and equal pay in the workplace.
And if strangers come to supper they shall be served with more according as they have need.
Look, everyone wants justice to be served. Everyone wants justice to be blind. We want people to make it home or to jail for that matter safely.
I worked with Dalton Trumbo, who served time for refusing to give up names of people that were accused of being Communists. I’ve always admired him.
We shot the video for ‘Broken’ where both my parents grew up. There was always a strong sense of serving our country in the neighborhood – my father and all my uncles served, and most of them enlisted.
I have an affinity for the old Seattle coffee shops, places like the Green Onion and the Copper Kettle, the classic kind of coffee bar – little places that served breakfast, lunch and dinner and have pretty much disappeared.
One of my favorite dishes in the world used to be steak tartare, which is raw ground beef seasoned and then served.
The myths connected with individual sanctuaries and ceremonies were merely part of the apparatus of the worship; they served to excite the fancy and sustain the interest of the worshipper… no one cared what he believed about its origin.
I don’t think that the war serves U.S. interests. I think Osama bin Laden’s interests and the Iranian interests are very much served by it, and it’s becoming a huge drain on our resources both material and political.
One of the greatest injustices of the Vietnam era is the way our veterans were treated when they returned home. This compounded the pain experienced by those who served. That is a mistake we must never make again.
I’ve served on the International Relations Committee.
I have never served on a jury because MPs were exempted – or banned, I think.
Michael Bates was a very funny actor; he’d served in India, could speak Urdu, and had great comic timing.
I think England has served me very well. I like living in London for the reasons I gave. I have absolutely no intentions of cutting those ties. There is absolutely no reason to do so. Certainly not, so that I can have a swimming pool and a palm tree.
When I hosted the dinner I served fast food hamburgers. It had nothing to do with black, white, purple, yellow, green race. it had nothing to do with Tiger or his family or his golf game.
I think that Vietnam, many of us who served in Vietnam thought that was very wasteful, and to what end? To what end? What were we really there for? What were we really fighting for?
In high school, I think I served almost an entire match by myself.
My dad served in World War II and died on active duty after the war.
I’m a patriot… Like my late father who came here and served his country as a member of the U.S. Army.
I loved being in the Marine Corps, I loved my job in the Marine Corps, and I loved the people I served with. It’s one of the best things I’ve had a chance to do.
I think the most important thing to understand about credit derivatives and their use at JPMorgan is they served a number of different purposes. First and foremost, they were a tool which initially was seen as being useful in managing the bank’s own risk management challenges.
Fighting for kids has been my lifelong mission. Right out of high school, I went to work at a camp that served disadvantaged adolescents. When I became a recreation therapist, I worked with children battling severe mental illness.
I love big shrimp, like Japanese botan shrimp and the meaty ones from Santa Barbara, Calif. In classic Japanese cooking, shrimp like these would be dropped into a broth or boiled as served with sushi. But I think boiling dilutes their great flavor, and they are better when stir-fried.
I’m very close to suggesting that Mr. Pitt has now served as long as he can usefully do so. He seems to take his foot out of his mouth only for purposes of changing feet.
Presidents get to decide how their intelligence is served up to them, and it’s the job of intelligence to adjust.
I’ve been to many countries and watched a number of conflicts or their residue, and I’ve served in the military.
Heroes have always served as a reflection of their times, a template of who we are and what we want to be.
Mike Pence, of course, is a governor with executive experience and doing well in a Midwestern state, but also served in Congress. I served with Mike.
I paid my dues. I have crawled to gigs. I have served people coffee. I worked hard selling all these records out the back of my car. Girl, I’m ready to sell one the real way now.
I just didn’t believe the God that I served would allow me to die for something I didn’t do.
I’ve learned a lot with every character, everything from being a cop, to a lawyer to a tattoo artist. And underneath that stuff, I’ve been really able to find myself through the characters. It’s served as a cheap form of emotional therapy.
Vice presidents are at times tasked with issuing direct broadsides against enemies while the top guy stays above the fray. But never before has a vice president served as an attack dog against his own party’s voters.
I’m a military kid, both parents in the military – Mom did 12 years, Dad did 21, served in two wars. So discipline is something that was huge.
From 1965 to 1974, I served the best possible apprenticeship for an actor. I learned firsthand how a truck driver lives, what a bartender does, how a salesman thinks. I had to make a life inside those jobs, not just pretend.
There has been enough suffering in our country, there has been enough of children whose dreams die before they have a chance to grow and there has been enough of our elders who, having served their nation, are forced into indignity in their old age.
Law not served by power is an illusion; but power not ruled by law is a menace which our nuclear age cannot afford.
There is a severe horse overpopulation crisis caused by overbreeding in the racing industry. It’s time for that industry to accept responsibility for its castoffs and take dramatic action to protect a species that has so loyally served humankind.
Having a sense of humor has served me more than it has hurt me – just in the sense that it has allowed me to keep my sanity.
At Knopf, we look at each book on a case-by-case basis… in some cases, we think a writer might get a boost from an endorsement by a fellow writer, but in other cases, a new book will be better served by other means, such as publicity and reviews.
Wayne Downing is also a great leader, has served our nation very well, and I think it’s great that he’s coming back to join a very capable administration already of dealing with this problem, and it will just strengthen that team.
I was a radioman first class in the Navy. I put in seven years. I was around a lot of admirals; I served on destroyers, cruisers, and a flat top for a little while.
Although it’s depressing to admit this, more than a handful of post-‘Donnie Brasco’ Al Pacino roles would have been better served by Steve Buscemi.
It is possible to set your standards too high, which can undermine a man’s confidence and ability to perform. Instead of reaching for the stars and settling for the moon, there is considerable evidence that man is better served reaching for a blade of grass and settling for an under-the-table handshake deal.
The thing that people seem to miss about not just Google, but also our competitors, Yahoo, eBay and so forth, is that there’s an awful lot of communities that have never been served by traditional media.
Butterfly was certainly a vehicle for me, and if it died, it still would have served its purpose, in spades. We never expected it to give me the visibility it has given me. It was just a small thing as a vehicle, and suddenly the whole world knew about it.
Brazil is well served for goalkeepers, many who have not been to the World Cup are very good.
We shall never have more time. We have, and always had, all the time there is. No object is served in waiting until next week or even until tomorrow. Keep going… Concentrate on something useful.
