Serious Quotes

Animal rights is a serious subject, but I do my best to find humor where I can Picture Quote #1

I love the Coen brothers. They’re so brilliant, and they always surprise you in one way or another. ‘A Serious Man’ was awesome. I like stuff like that, that kind of throws you for a loop. It takes you on a journey that is unexpected Picture Quote #1

I think it’s doubly important, now that we see so many people failing. When the norm is an anti-hero, there’s a serious loss when you cannot portray a decent person on screen without it becoming slightly sentimental or feeling like it’s unrealistic Picture Quote #1

When I was growing up in the 1930s and 40s anti-Semitism was rampant. It wasn’t like Nazi Germany but it was pretty serious - it was part of life Picture Quote #1

Writing a book is the most difficult, anxiety-prone aspect of my life because the words that I put on paper are very serious to me Picture Quote #1

People often can’t separate, or can’t understand, that to be funny is to be serious; it’s a way of pulling people in and not scaring them off. I think a lot of the funny stuff, underneath it, there’s a deep anxiety going on Picture Quote #1

I love these sort of documentaries, which you might turn on late on a Saturday night - like, say, ‘The Alma Cogan Story.’ But they are ripe for spoofing, because the presenters are always so serious and anxious to make themselves look like rather attractive and interesting people Picture Quote #1

I think whatever comes natural is probably the truth, and the truth is the strongest form of anything - whether serious or funny Picture Quote #1

Rolf Ekeus, his appearance can deceive. He looks somewhere between an international diplomat and a mad professor. He’s got that sort of shock of white hair and a slightly absent-minded way of speaking. But he’s extremely sharp and very serious about power relationships Picture Quote #1

Try to find someone with a sense of humor. That’s an important thing to have because when you get into an argument, one of the best ways to diffuse it is to be funny. You don’t want to hide away from a point, because some points are serious, but you’d rather have a discussion that was a discussion, rather than an argument Picture Quote #1

We have serious enemies and growing threats around the world. Unfortunately, we have an administration whose idea of a rogue state is Arizona Picture Quote #1

If we’re serious about America’s leadership in the world, then we need to make sure that we have the back of the armed forces Picture Quote #1

I think that for all of the dangers of technology spreading, I think it is more dangerous in some ways that it doesn’t. My simple reason for that is we’ve got 7 billion people on the planet, and we have these very serious problems, and I think we don’t know who’s going to have the answers to the problems that are coming around the bend Picture Quote #1

In Russia, writers with serious grievances are arrested, while in America they are merely featured on television talk shows, where all that is arrested is their development Picture Quote #1

An artist who goes around proclaiming that the art he’s making is art is probably making a serious mistake. And that’s one mistake I try not to make Picture Quote #1

When I was a kid, toe dancing and toe shoes had a meaning in our culture as a serious kind of art Picture Quote #1

Black literature is taught as sociology, as tolerance, not as a serious, rigorous art form Picture Quote #1

In the end, art is small beer. The really serious things are earning one’s living so as not to be a parasite and loving one’s neighbor Picture Quote #1

I began as a boy with artistic talent... as a visual artist... I thought that was what I’d become and in my late teens drifted into reading serious literature Picture Quote #1

In 2006, 2 years ago, I made a very serious mistake. A mistake that I am responsible for and no one else. In 2006, I told Elizabeth about the mistake, asked her for her forgiveness, asked God for his forgiveness Picture Quote #1

People who watch ‘Transporter’ are maybe asking a little less about reality, being serious, and so on Picture Quote #1

Blackstone’s Police Operational Handbook recommends the ABC of serious investigation: Assume nothing, Believe nothing, and Check everything Picture Quote #1

Before I got divorced, I was personally unfamiliar with trial, or at least trial of serious, heart-wrenching proportions. I figured that life went smoothly if you tried hard, and if you messed up, or things weren’t working out, you just tried harder Picture Quote #1

I do have the strength. Leadership, leadership is not about attacking people and disparaging people. Leadership is about creating a serious strategy to deal with the threat of our time Picture Quote #1

I am always acting, be at a party, at work or in office. My attitude changes from meeting to meeting, from being serious to intense to funny, depending on who is in the room Picture Quote #1

For a long time, there was this rumor that I turned down doing ‘Austin Powers,’ which is not true. While they did send me the script, I don’t think I was ever a serious consideration to direct it. I’m sure they probably sent it to 20 others as well Picture Quote #1

Those who commit suicide, pensive, lonely, philosophers, are awake in life, which is a serious crime. In life everybody must be asleep Picture Quote #1

Some designers retain a sense of humour about what they do, but others are deathly serious and have no life outside of it; they’re lying awake night after night constructing dresses in their heads Picture Quote #1

I’m very attracted to exile literature - particularly Nabokov - exactly because the idea of being away from home for any serious length of time is so inconceivable to me Picture Quote #1
