It’s easy enough to foist your music collection on your kids. Lectures are not required; you just play the stuff while they are prisoner in the back seat on a long drive, or softly in the background while eating dinner. – Dean Wareham
Agriculture is a business that has been up to its bib overalls in politics since the first Thanksgiving dinner kickback to the Indians for subsidizing Pilgrim maize production with fish head fertilizer grants. – P. J. O’Rourke
A man who is right by your side through everything makes you happy. But he can leave your side to make dinner once in a while! – Faith Hill
It’s really hard to get a coffee with someone. I have to call my agent, my agent calls their agent, their agent calls their manager, the manager calls back, the actor sends someone to the manager… then you get, ‘Yeah, yeah, I’d love to have dinner at six,’ and all I wanted was coffee! It can take, like, six days to get coffee. – Daniel Espinosa

By 1949, there was no more work for me out there, and I went to New York in 1950 and just did whatever I could. Mainly television. Some Broadway. A lot of dinner theater work, which is not a very satisfactory medium. – Don Ameche
We sit down with the kids every single night, not that I want to every night – sometimes I’d rather be out with my husband having a martini at a swanky restaurant – but we sit down with our kids every night at dinner. – Debi Mazar
I can’t stand going out to one more dinner with some Mrs. So-and-So who might leave a million dollars to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra when she dies. – Daniel Barenboim
One time at the University of Colorado, at a faculty dinner, this professor said to me, ‘Well, my goodness, a boy from Appa-lay-chee-a with a Ph.D!’ The dinner was in her house. And I said, ‘My grandparents didn’t have indoor plumbing, but they had more books in their house than you do.’ I was a little insulted by the Appa-lay-chee-a business. – Charles Frazier
Back in the really olden days, dinner was seldom a ceremonial event for U.S. families. Only the very wealthy had a separate dining room. For most, meals were informal, a kind of rolling refueling; often only the men sat down. – Nancy Gibbs
I think my favorite place to eat dinner is the movie theater. Dirty dogs, a big thing of nachos and a Cherry Coke – and I’m good. – Chris Kirkpatrick
I don’t always prepare such rich meals. Sometimes I’ll just serve a simple quiche, salad and dessert for dinner. During the week I try to eat lightly. – Paul Lynde

My wife runs the charity Reprieve, and so rendition, droning, and capital punishment are very much the topics of our dinner table because of that. – Nick Harkaway
I’m kind of a grandma, so I like cooking for my boyfriend and watching a movie. I cook a lot, actually. I’ll make bacon-wrapped asparagus, steak, and pesto pasta with chicken…but we go out to dinner a fair amount, too. – Gigi Hadid

I read like an animal. I read under the covers, I read lying in the grass, I read at the dinner table. While other people were talking to me, I read. – Nicole Krauss
Dinner is often a stew of beans or legumes, which are awesome for dieting; they give you that meaty satisfaction and both are excellent with whole grain rice or bread. – Nadia Giosia
I do not go out to dinner or to the movies with the neighbors, as I do with my friends. I don’t make dates with them. I don’t have to. – Cathleen Schine
I don’t like going to dinner by myself; I’ll call for delivery before I do that. It’s awkward if you’re at a table all alone. I’m sure nobody even notices, but there’s something about it. – Max Thieriot
