My opposition to Interviews lies in the fact that offhand answers have little value or grace of expression, and that such oral give and take helps to perpetuate the decline of the English language.
When I’m looking for hot button answers to tough questions, I don’t look to congressman or my mayor. I say, ‘What would Miss U.S.A. have to say about this?’
There aren’t always a hell of a lot of absolutely right answers out there.
With wrestling, everybody always asks what they can do to get signed or how can they get over. There’s no right or wrong answers. That’s why I think the best thing you can do is be yourself.

I think reporters think that they can get something extra out of a person face-to-face, but in reality people just give stock answers because there’s a social situation going on.
Governments do not have the answers – indeed, quite the reversal. A lot of times, they not only do not have the answers, but they themselves are the problem. If we are committed to helping our world’s children, then we must begin to create solutions from the bottom up.
Don’t assume that the answers are out there in the form of somebody else already doing something. Sometimes they are. But you have to think beyond that.
You can look up, you can see the stars, the moon and the sun, and you wonder: How does it all work? I didn’t have the answers, but I was thinking about all this floating amongst the stars. That is my objective.

I sometimes feel nervous because I give stupid answers to certain pointless questions. It happens in Turkish as much as in English. I speak bad Turkish and utter stupid sentences.

I don’t have all the answers.
If you want people to take action,you must refrain from giving them the answers.

There is a comfort in rituals, and rituals provide a framework for stability when you are trying to find answers.
‘Why’ is a question no animal can ask, because both the question and answers require speech. Have you ever seen an animal shrug?
We thought that we had the answers, it was the questions we had wrong.
I like to write about things about which I have no answers, questions that trouble me. These things trouble me.
I didn’t do too well until my second year, when I realized that there were no right or wrong answers and that my professors were interested only in how well I could develop an argument.
Sometimes I do find myself out there, looking for answers. But maybe there are no answers, maybe there is no rhyme or reason. Thats life, its up and down and Ive had my fair share of both.

There are no right answers to wrong questions.
I write about moments, and I don’t make blanket statements about anything because no one has all the answers; nobody’s come up with a foolproof way to do anything when it comes to emotions.
The fictionally correct have all the answers, and that’s what’s wrong with them. They’re artistic technocrats. There’s no dilemma so knotty, no question so baffling, that it can’t be smoothly neutralized by dialing up the right attitude adjustment. Poor old Hemingway. If only he’d known.
You can’t say history teaches us this or that; it gives us more questions than answers, and many answers to every question.
I don’t think women hold all the answers, but with their skills, their strengths, we can get to a better place.

The best form of customer service is self service. Constantly empower customers to get their own answers themselves.

You can’t meet Labour’s tests by failing to provide answers.
From a scientific point of view, our mission is to seek answers to the fundamental questions about the universe. Many are open – we don’t know about dark matter, which accounts for a quarter of the universe’s matter, nor do we know why there’s antimatter.
One of the things that is wrong with religion is that it teaches us to be satisfied with answers which are not really answers at all.
I don’t want to say that women who do use makeup or get breast implants or have fake nails are insecure. They’re entitled to that, and they should do that if that’s what they want to do. But for me, there are no answers. It’s just a matter of preference and choice and fetish.
That’s the great thing about being a writer. You dream up amazing questions… and then dream up even more amazing answers.
I do not have the answers and as a woman I do not intend to play my own thoughts over the truth. I can clearly state the problems and tell you that I suffer from them.
I was, like, forty at birth. When I wasn’t even a year old, I spoke, I was potty trained, I walked and talked. That was it. Then I started school and drove everybody crazy because they realized I had popped out as an adult. I had adult questions and wanted adult answers.
Scare answers to scare, and force begets force, until at length it comes to be seen that we are racing one against another after a phantom security which continually vanishes as we approach.
It’s most presumptuous to believe we already know all the answers and will never get any more big surprises.
Music is completely not reality. There’s nothing about music that has any meaning at all. A lot of people disagree with that, but it’s basically true. You can listen to a piece of music, and fifteen people will give you fifteen answers of what it’s about.
There are two answers to every question – God’s answer and everybody else’s – and everybody else is wrong when they disagree with him.
I want to be able to leave behind an infrastructure and a road map for any of my dreamers to follow. So that they can again take care of their family, pursue what they love and live a fulfilling life. Everyone is called, but not everyone answers. I was called, and I answered.
Science and literature give me answers. And they ask me questions I will never be able to answer.
The best characters are the ones that somehow manage to be both attractive and repulsive at the same time. If you do that, you’re at the center of the universe – if you can find characters who are more ambiguous and can raise more questions than answers.
There are Christians who think there were seven actual days, or that creation was over time. They have answers for dinosaurs and things of that nature. And I don’t claim to have any of those answers. And I understand people wanting to have discussions about it.

It is reassuring for people to feel they have a boss, someone who knows the answers and has charted the course.
Within the covers of the Bible are the answers for all the problems men face.
Throughout my years in business, I discovered something. I would always ask why you do things. The answers that I would invariably get are: ‘Oh, that’s just the way things are done around here.’ Nobody knows why they do what they do. Nobody thinks very deeply about things in business.
