People always want an explanation about everything and I cannot give it to them. Because I don’t know myself. ‘Why did you do a pair of pants like that?’ I have no idea. I’m not going to have a 20-minute political discussion about the necessity for slashed, painted leather jeans. Basically, I don’t know more than you.
We’re from Athens, Alabama. That’s my town. People think it’s Muscle Shoals, but they have no idea. It’s a quiet, sleepy little town, about 45 minutes from Muscle Shoals. It’s really hard to be a band in Athens; there are no venues.
My real name is Bob Davis, but for some reason, I got the name Jasper while playing football at the local rec when I was nine years old, and it just stuck. Years later, when someone asked ‘Jasper who?’ I just said ‘Carrott’ – but I have no idea why I came out with that particular word.
I had no idea at all how to model, but people would start to follow me. So, I would go to these start-up companies and say, ‘I have all these followers… how can we work together?’
Write a story a great writer would write. Because part of becoming an artist is pushing through all the disbelief of those around you, deciding that you are a writer when you have no idea what a plot is or whether what you’ve written is any good, or anything.
I used to go home at night and just shake, because I had no idea that’s what acting was gonna be.
Back in 2014, at the One Young World Summit in Dublin, I shared my story of my escape from North Korea to China in 2007. I had no idea what was coming or what to expect.
Men have no idea how much more difficult it is for women in the rock and roll industry, and while we are trying to give birth, breastfeed, all they do is have a good time.
I didn’t follow the whole ‘X-Men’ story because it got too complicated. I’d pick up a comic book and have no idea what was going on.
It’s funny, you know, growing up, you are always introduced to people as your uncle this or your aunt that or your cousin this. By the time I was in my 20s, I had no idea who I actually was or wasn’t related to. It’s kind of a running joke in the family.
All I can say to people who don’t think depression is a real thing, or say ‘just suck it up and get over it’ – they just really have no idea. You have to give people the benefit of the doubt that they’re doing the best they can to get through it.
I’m not an aristocrat. I have no idea what that is.
I can’t stand toe-to-toe with Bill Murray. It’s very hard, because just looking at Bill – he’s 6’3″, and he just stares at you, and you have no idea what’s going on inside that mind of his.
The Yale group was doing the Harold. So by our senior year we were trying to do the Harold. Again, we had no idea what we were doing. We had one guy in the group who was pretty experimental; he would kind of push us to do weird things. It was really fun, a great experience.
I’m drawn to playing characters who are terribly flawed and have no idea about it.
When I was young, all the politicians looked like ancient Latin teachers or greengrocers. They were mumbly, stumbly men with their hair blowing in their eyes, walking into trees, opening the wrong door. They had no idea how to present themselves.
I had no idea when I went to college what I’d be doing. I took organic chemistry and did terribly, but I was good in English and art. I took many courses and participated in as many activities as I could. I learned a lot about every single thing.
I had a ukulele when I was much younger. I have no idea what happened to it but I think that was part of it, just being inspired and wanting to try to play an instrument that, to me, sounded beautiful.
Recently I made the mistake of opening a bundle of reviews that someone had sent me of a production from years and years ago, and someone had written a really lovely review except that it made a remark about the way I spoke: ‘A lot of people find her voice terribly irritating.’ Do they? I had no idea.
The majority of fragrances are designed by people who have no idea what the house does. But for me, it had to be honest. That’s where it becomes personal.
For sure, one moment really defined the path that I was to take in the future, and that was when I won the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions in New York in April of 1995. I had just turned 25 two days before the finals concert, and when I won, I had no idea how my life would change because of it.
When I see the first dailies on any movie, I usually feel that I had no idea how this combination of ingredients was going to mix together, what it was going to produce.
I had no idea who Elektra was. When the producers asked me before I booked the job, I had to tell them. It was a great surprise when I actually got the job.
I like boysenberry. I have no idea what it is. And it sounds like poison – which is terrifying – but you can’t hold a name against a flavor. If you did that, everyone would hate Crunchberries.
‘StrengthsFinder 2.0’ is an effort to get the core message and language out to a much broader audience. We had no idea how well received the first strengths book would be by general readers – it was oriented more toward managers – or that the energy and excitement would continue to grow.
I wasn’t so sure about signing up for ‘Law & Order.’ I liked the show, but another TV series? I’ll tell you, though, it’s been great, and I had no idea how popular the show was.
I had no idea that mothering my own child would be so healing to my own sadness from my childhood.
To be fair, when I started doing ‘Verdict’ I literally had no idea what I was doing. I wanted to do some theatre, as I wanted to do something different. I wanted to learn and get an understanding of the craft.
When they made ‘Rocky Horror’ in the ’70s, they had no idea it would become this 41-year phenomenon that it has become.
When it comes to our makeup artist asking me, ‘So, what do you want today?’ I’m like, ‘I don’t know.’ I have no idea what I want that day, or I just go with what I feel.
I have no idea what I’m going to say when I stand up to give a toast. But I do know that anything I say I find funny.
I grew up on a sugar plantation in Trinidad, on an expat estate, and that meant I had no idea about money until a lot later than most children.
It is this compulsion to look backwards at a time of crisis because one’s got no idea of what lies ahead. There is a notion of security that somehow it must resemble the past. It’s never going to. Just because we muddled through in the past doesn’t mean we can automatically muddle through in the future.
I can see what goes on defensively in a game, but 80 or 90 yards away, you can have no idea about the attack or how someone scored. I guess it’s once a goalkeeper, always a goalkeeper.
I started cooking in kitchens right out of high school, and I was lucky to work with a lot of great people, but I had no idea it would turn into this. Of course no one should go into this business because they want to be the next Emeril.
I remember early on, in my very, very early days, I had a makeup artist tell me that I needed to get an attitude. I had no idea what he was talking about.
You have no idea the people I meet when I do these Comic-Cons. When I go sign autographs and say hello to people, I see everything!
I sang in the coffee houses of the country in the early ’60s with no idea of success in terms of records or television. I just thought I was a storyteller. I didn’t even think of myself as a singer.
As a blind man has no idea of colors, so have we no idea of the manner by which the all-wise God perceives and understands all things.
People are impatient. They want things to happen overnight, and have no idea of the circumstances and situations that can surround an individual at times.
It’s ignorance, and it’s upsetting. Look at the young; they have no idea how great this country is because they never have been outside of it.
Winning the Outstanding Contribution award is great, because you know you have won in advance. Previously, I have been really nervous during the ceremony because you have no idea if you are going to get called up on stage. This time I could relax and enjoy myself.
People want to start their own business or become financially independent. But you don’t end up a successful entrepreneur unless you find a way to love the risk, the uncertainty, the repeated failures, and working insane hours on something you have no idea whether will be successful or not.
Trump has repeatedly insisted that he is innocent of colluding with Russia and had no idea about his campaign staff’s Russia contacts. So he should be glad to know that the FBI appears to have been trying to thwart a hostile country’s efforts to infiltrate his campaign.
I had no idea that it was gonna take off the way it did. I thought we made a good movie.
In 1987, I had no idea who Steven Isserlis was. We met at the Spoleto Festival in Charleston, South Carolina. It was originally just an Italian summer festival, but for the past 14 years, there’s also been a spring festival in America.
There are women crossing the border, finding border control agents to turn themselves in so they can begin the process of asylum, only to have their children taken from them with no idea of where they’re going or when they’ll see them again.
I have no idea how to become successful in children’s tv programming today other than to say that whereever you find that rare animal being pursued, insert yourself into its environment; get in the door in any position and work from within.
