You may be a redneck if... you have spent more on your pickup truck than on your education.

I spent three days a week for 10 years educating myself in the public library and it's better than college. People should educate themselves - you can get a complete education for no money. At the end of 10 years I had read every book in the library and I'd written a thousand stories.

Unless you're living on the street and surviving on a diet of discarded turkey drumsticks there's no point in being gloomy. We've spent too long trying to cheer ourselves up by spending money on brightly coloured things we don't really need. We've stopped using our imaginations.

By the fourth grade I graduated to an erector set and spent many happy hours constructing devices of unknown purpose where the main design criterion was to maximize the number of moving parts and overall size.

As a well spent day brings happy sleep so life well used brings happy death.

There are worse things in life than death. Have you ever spent an evening with an insurance salesman?

As a well-spent day brings happy sleep so a life well spent brings happy death.

I have stepped off the relationship scene to come to terms with myself. I have spent most of my adult life being 'someone's girlfriend' and now I am happy being single.

My dad has always been my coach. And I've spent so much time with him. So he's one of my best friends. And I can talk to him about everything.

OK so my parents were married in 1955 and my mom knew my dad was gay and my dad knew he was gay and so I was like 'Why in the heck did you get married?' Like what was going on? What was that time? It's like this crazy paradox that my whole life is based on or my family's based on. So I spent a lot of time trying to understand '55.

My dad works in child protection and he's spent many many years in that line of work.

My dad spent his whole life getting into fights for telling what he believed to be the truth. Basically it comes from my dad-and he's screaming right-wing so there you are.

I spent a lot of time on farms when I was young. My uncle and my dad owned a big farm.

We some cast members and I even went on a weekend trip together and spent the weekend at an inn because we enjoy each other's company so much and it was so cool.

My sister has three kids so I've spent a lot of time around children and I've always really liked them and wanted my own. It's cool because you think all babies are the same but they aren't at all. They all have such different personalities. It's crazy.

In early high school years I was pretty chubby and I spent a lot of time on my computer before it was cool to have a computer - because there was a time that was true. So that's where I developed my personality.

I realized that I loved using computers to create something but being an architect just wasn't going to keep me interested. The idea of a life spent obsessing over bathroom details for an Upper East Side penthouse was pretty depressing.

I started on an Apple II which I had bought at the very end of 1978 for half of my annual income. I made $4 500 a year and I spent half of it on the computer.

People break down after a couple of hours. All the defenses go down and there's a kind of communication that if I spent 20 years in a living room with one of these people I would never never know as much about them as I do in that one day.

I spent a lot of years on the road and what happens is you find out who your real friends are and you find out where your strengths and weaknesses lie in communication. I've had the same friends for 20 years now and I can count them on one hand.

I just like food too much and I don't want to change. I spent so much of childhood trying to change and I just got sick of it... I don't want to look like Britney Spears I just don't want to. She's hideous.

I spent a lot of my life holding back my cries and I want to change that because it's not good for me.

Complainers change their complaints but they never reduce the amount of time spent in complaining.

So for a year I spent all my time hiding from Jack Charlton in the car park practising my skills.
