“Happy relationships are boring. We all want them in our own life. But I don’t want to watch them on TV.”

Makes you wonder what else you can do that you’ve forgotten about.

Sometimes there’s so much beauty in the world, I feel like I can’t take it, and my heart is going to cave in.

We don’t have any real sense of community anymore.

I’m from the South, so while I personally find it impossible to live there, I still have a fondness for it as a geographical region.

Sometimes I feel like I’m seeing it all at once and it’s too much. My heart fills up like a balloon that’s about to burst.

I would be so bored if that was the case. There would be no journey. There would be nothing to discover.

The important thing is that he shook hands with us over the phone.

There are times when I am directing, and there are a couple of moments I didn’t get the way I wanted, but I know I still have other angles to shoot and I have to be done by noon; I move on.

The ego is kind of a big, unwieldy thing. It’s not so easily tamed or subdued.

I’d seen ‘Interview with A Vampire’ and saw Dracula movies growing up, but I never thought, ‘I love vampires; I have to do a show about vampires.’

I mean certainly, you read about things people did to each other in the pursuit of some mystical or occult goal, and it’s horrifying. But that’s just human nature.

I try to tell the best story, and the story that has some heart and some genuine terror and some social commentary and some comedy and some romance and some sex and some violence.

I’m not like J.K. Rowling, where I know there’s going to be this number of seasons, and I know exactly what’s going to happen.

I’m not a believer in luck, but I do believe you need it.

In my own life, I think legends of supernatural, mythic things are really just a manifestation of the collective unconscious. So I don’t really get freaked out.

I will say that the environment I grew up in was not the most progressive.

The bigger the risks, the better off you are. Otherwise you’re just boring.

The two hours onstage is great. But I can only play a show and then take a night off. I have to sing for two hours, and then I’ve gotta rest it for a night. So it’s the other 46 hours that are just boring as heck.

Now, the country is in a terrible state, and you’ve blamed it on a number of things: Unemployment rate, the value of the pound and all that… wrll, it’s because the national anthem is boring.

I mused for a few moments on the question of which was worse, to lead a life so boring that you are easily enchanted, or a life so full of stimulus that you are easily bored.

Writing is a mode of being. If I write I live.

Look at Van Gogh’s paintings: there’s as much joy in them as there is pain. Suffering is only a single color, and by itself it’s boring.

I hate just showing up, hitting a mark, doing your work, and going home. It’s very boring. But being part of the creation of the whole thing is very exciting.

Too often boring players have been pushed forward as great by figures alone. For sheer entertainment, he will keep cricket alive.
