Everybody doesn't have to get every joke. People really appreciate not being condescended to.

I don't like intellectuals, or, at least, people who call themselves that way, because I am under the impression that there is always something condescending in their demeanour, and I don't like condescending people.

I've never really understood that. It's a funny thing; people sometimes accuse us of condescending to our characters somehow-that to me is kind of inexplicable.

I don't believe in condescending to children. I don't change any writing technique.

I'm a terrible patient, and I find that doctors can be very condescending.

Words change over time. 'Condescending,' for instance, was once a good thing to be. It meant that a person was willing to interact politely with people of lower social ranks. In Jane Austen's world, a lady praised for her condescension was receiving a sincere compliment.

Don't underestimate your kids. Don't be condescending, because they're children but they're not stupid.

What's more condescending and corny than someone telling you how much more money they have than you and telling you basically, 'I don't care about poor people,' which is a large part of what you hear of corporate hip-hop on the radio.

Some people would rather stay ignorant and self-satisfied.

I don't see myself as offending people.
