My ass may be dumb, but I ain't no dumbass.
There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.
You learn how to be book smart in school, but you better not forget that you also need to be street smart.
For a woman to be able to dominate and also be feminine and soft, that's a talent. And its not all about appearance. A woman who has a brain, who is street-smart and book-smart, that woman is very, very sexy to me.
You can listen to the records and know: We're really street.
You got to be street smart I suppose when you bowl in India. You can't bowl at the same pace at the same place. Guys will work you out.
I am no police, I don't even have any educational degree, but I have a degree in life management.
I wasn't just playing football on the street. I grew up on the street.
I'm very down-to-earth. I think I'm still 'street'.
Mumbai is the kind of place where you learn how to be street smart... unless you're way too overprotected.
I'm from Stratford, East London. I can get down and dirty. I just roll my sleeves up and get on with it.
I ain't got much education, but I got some sense.
They say somebody's 'street smart.' I feel like, if I got intelligence, it's just a country smart.
I'm what they call an intelligent hoodlum.
I've been around the block.
I used to grind. I be telling people, you don't grind, you don't sell. I was like 15, 16 getting dropped off in the city by myself, with my own beat CDs.
I suppose I am a bit of rough. I'm originally from Coolock: I'm rough around the edges.
There's really no age limit when you out there in those streets.
Intelligent too, ooh you my sweetheart. I've always liked my women book and street smart. Long as they got a lil' class like half days and the confidence to overlook my past ways.
I'm no dummy. I have a good sense of the business end of this game.
I wasn't known as a neighborhood tough or anything like that. But yeah, I was, like, a scrappy kid. You know, I kind of kept to myself, you know?
I've seen it all, done it all, known it all.
I grew up in New York City, and I'm a city boy, born and bred.
I use maps in my phone a great deal because I can't tell left from right. Having easy access to maps has given me a completely different life. When I first moved to London, I couldn't get anywhere and spent so much money on cabs because I couldn't figure it out.
A country girl can talk her way out of a ticket.
