I could never really choose a favorite book, but whenever I'm asked what my favorite movie is, I always say 'Withnail & I,' a British film from 1987. It's funny and sad and absolutely gorgeous to look at. It's the film I can watch over and over again.

Music videos are notoriously long, not fun, grueling. You are known there as a dancer and it's kind of sad because dancers, in a lot of ways, are under-appreciated and kind of under-respected when it come to that so they don't necessarily treat you in a nice way when you do a music video.
— Jenna Dewan
I went to high school with girls that would daydream about what strip club they wanted to work at. That's one of the sad things about Vegas.

In Mississippi, you don't admit that you're gay. It's just an awkward thing down South, which is sad.

— Alan Jackson
When I look back at those pictures of my mother performing - and listen to her recordings - it makes me sad to think that all of that joy she found in her work came to an end. I wish she hadn't had to make that sacrifice, even if it was for the benefit of my father and siblings and me.

There is something sad about clothes laid in a tomb of trunks.

— Denis O'Hare

— Jamie Cullum
People say, oh it's a shame, you're not nostalgic about the '60s. Well actually, it's quite good, when you think of it. Wouldn't it be sad if I was sitting here wishing it back?
— Robert Wyatt
You see guys going up to girls in bars and saying, 'Oh, can I show you a trick?' It's a tool. I find it kind of sad; it breaks my heart a little bit. They should try to use their own personalities. It sort of smacks of using magic as a crutch, which is not what it should be.
— Keith Barry
Making people laugh is so much more difficult than making them sad. Too much fiction defaults to the somber, the tragic. This is because sad endings are easy in comparison - happy endings aren't at all simple to earn, especially when writing to an audience jaded by them.

As a songwriter I hate this whole, 'If it's a sad song, it has to sound like a sad song thing.' And that goes all the way back to my days with the Format. I'm an insane narcissist, so if I have to get something off my chest, I'll get something off my chest.
— Nate Ruess
I take my inspiration for the song writing from little experiences, not even if I've experienced them myself but say if something has made me sad, I will use that emotion. I just use everyday life and write about it.
— Pixie Lott
I think people tend to forget that as celebrities we are still human. We have the same emotions - we cry, we have fun, we laugh, we get sad, and we get hurt. When something is written about you, which millions of people are reading, and it is not true, imagine how hurtful it can be.
— Sania Mirza
The music of ABBA is not that happy. It might sound happy, in some strange way, but deep within, it's not happy music. It has that Nordic melancholic feeling to it. What fools you is the girls' voices. You know, I do think that is one of the secrets about ABBA. Even when we were really quite sad, we always sounded jubilant.
— Bjorn Ulvaeus
We have real cliched ideas of what prison life is like. It is not a happy place. It's a desperate, sad situation.

— Shelby Lynne

And that team, that all-lady team that I was on, I can remember just being so incredibly sad that I knew we were all going to leave each other after we graduated and that our lives would change.

I love my past, I love my present. I am not ashamed of what I have had, and I am not sad because I no longer have it.

— Ken Ham
I don't find it uncomfortable that I'm recognized and liked by so many people. If that were hard for me, I wouldn't be doing this work. Rather, I think I'd be more sad when a day come when people don't recognize me.

— Rory McIlroy
I like to play the grey areas in life - that's the most uncomfortable place to be. Nobody likes to be in that in-between state where there don't know what's going to happen. There's a lot of tension in that, and a lot of stuff to play with - where it's uncomfortable and awkward and sad and scary.
— Melanie Lynskey
Women often don't want to be typecast as the girl that's sad.

— Jill Abramson
I am not a sad clown. I am not a sad clown.
— Nathan Lane

— Ernestine Rose
With the other fellow actors who have gone astray, I think it's sad that society wants to label the business as doing this to people. It's really not true.
— Tina Yothers
I remember that I used to get lots of books from the library, and 'Little Women' was one of them. And I used to just cross out the parts of it that really upset me because it's such a sad book in so many ways. I'd cross out the parts that upset me, and I would rewrite new endings.
— Helen Oyeyemi
It's not that we like sad movies that make us feel like, 'Oh, my God, what a bummer.' We like emotionally moving experiences. It's nothing new. It's catharsis. It goes back to the Greeks.

— Jean Paul Gaultier

— Kristen Schaal
Nowadays you really have to pump out that blockbuster in order to have the luxury of getting a body of work, and that's sad because the work suffers. Today everything is based on money. The older actors, they inspire me.

— Helen Clark
I think some women try to make you feel you're not all female because you haven't given birth. There are a lot of prejudices. Some women think women who have animals are deeply sad, because what they really want is a child. Mind you, there's probably an element of truth in that.
— Alison Goldfrapp
I belong in America more than South Africa. I can't remember the feeling of living there anymore. It's like it was in another life. That's sad in a way. It is my country. It's where I grew up.

Unfortunately, we are living in an era where plenty of songs with vulgar, objectionable lyrics are also becoming popular.

— Shreya Ghoshal
If I'm extra happy or excited, it'll take me an hour or two to write a song. Or, if I'm really sad or something, it will take me about a day. But I have a specific way of writing: I just listen to the beat. I think about what I'm going to write over the beat.
— Astro

— Mouni Roy
It's sad when you can't make everyone happy, though. It's impossible but, at the same time, you still hope. You think, 'Maybe I can do it,' but you know you can't.

— Stephenie Meyer

They speak to you and they're so nice to you and they want to help you and they know you want a drink before the plane takes off. And they bring it to you without asking. If you're sitting in coach and hoping for a drink, good luck.
— Hope Davis

— Katha Pollitt
There are times when I'm really happy and I write something really sad, and vice versa.

— Tom Hardy
The Holy Spirit can be with you always and guide you back to Him, but in order to enjoy the benefits of this holy gift, you must truly receive it, and then you must use it in your life. How sad it would be to be given such a precious gift and then set it aside and never use it.
— Margaret D. Nadauld
It's so sad: anything that has to do with God, people want to dispel.

— Albert Finney
There are a lot of people who consider themselves 'spiritual,' but that can mean a lot of things to a lot of people.

That's kind of sad.

— Patricia Polacco
I think, honestly, that a lot of people think I'm sad and dark all the time, because of the music I have made. But there's a huge part of my personality that's really energetic, outgoing and goofy.

My favorite monster has always been the zombie. They are so much fun. They can be scary, pathetic, sad, funny, tragic, even heroic. They are the most elastic monster because, even with all of that, they don't interfere with telling stories about the humans. They serve as threats and metaphors, but they allow the story to be about people.
— Jonathan Maberry
Your joys and sorrows. You can never tell them. You cheapen the inside of yourself if you do tell them.

— Fran Tarkenton
I'd love to have a room full of taxidermy. I'd be devastated if my cat, Archimedes, ever died. I was debating the other day with a friend whether I should stuff him, but don't know whether he would end up looking like himself. I'd be really sad if he looked strange.

While technology is important, it's what we do with it that truly matters.
— Muhammad Yunus

— Ramez Naam
Technology has advanced more in the last thirty years than in the previous two thousand. The exponential increase in advancement will only continue.
— Niels Bohr
The over-all point is that new technology will not necessarily replace old technology, but it will date it. By definition. Eventually, it will replace it.

— Steve Jobs
