Asked Quotes

Of all the questions I get asked as an undocumented immigrant in the United States, there are two - asked in various permutations via email, social media or in person - that chill me to the bone: ‘Why don’t you just make yourself legal?’ And: ‘Why don’t you get in the back of the line?’ Picture Quote #1

Van Gogh was asked how he created such beautiful paintings. He said I dream my paintings and then I paint my dreams Picture Quote #1

A journalist asked this to my father. He spent a day with me and interviewing my friends/colleagues and didn’t understand how I could be the one that created 4chan and, as he put it, ‘couldn’t understand how to fit the square peg into a round hole.’ The best way I have of describing it is, ‘I didn’t define it, and it doesn’t define me.’ Picture Quote #1

In high school ethics, they went around and asked what everyone thought their classmates were qualified to do. For me, everyone said actress. But to me it was very much ‘if it happens, it happens.’ Picture Quote #1

Most authors writing books like ‘He’s Just Not That Into You’ dream of doing what I was being asked to do. I didn’t like it. I’m good at giving advice, but doing it on TV and radio felt wrong, and when people resisted my point of view, I was like, ‘Why am I doing this? This was not the plan.’ So I stopped. It didn’t make me feel good Picture Quote #1

Einstein uses his concept of God more often than a Catholic priest. Once I asked him: ‘Tomorrow is Sunday. Do you want me to come to you, so we can work?’ ‘Why not?’ ‘Because I thought perhaps you would like to rest on Sunday.’ Einstein settled the question by saying with a loud laugh: ‘God does not rest on Sunday either.’ Picture Quote #1

I think if you get asked to do this, then that’s called doing your homework, and I try and do it Picture Quote #1

I read books for exams at school, but only because I had to read them, and really didn’t enjoy it one little bit! The only time I did enjoy it was when I was asked to read out loud in front of the class, as I then used it as an acting exercise! Picture Quote #1

I met a girl who sang the blues and I asked her for some happy news, but she just smiled and turned away. And the three men I admire most, The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost, They caught the last train to the coast The day the music died Picture Quote #1

I am beginning to think there are two kinds of people, she said. I waited. Those who forgive themselves too easily but will not forgive others. And? I asked. Those that forgive others too easily but will not forgive themselves Picture Quote #1

I’m very honest in my music and I’m often asked to explain the lyrics; as an introvert, I find that quite hard. And I always wear high heels on stage, which can be painful Picture Quote #1
