My organization, my colleagues and I, are paid to run hotels in good times and fair times. We’re professionals. That’s what we do. I don’t give a damn about the short-term market implications.
In New Mexico, my local church did a nativity play, and I was cast as Wise Man #3. Of course, Wise Man #3 had no damn lines. Wise Man #1 had all the lines! I stood there thinking, ‘I could do that role so much better!’ From that moment on, I knew I wanted to be an actor.
Make your heart bleed! Put your soul into that damn thing. And try new things.
Women like to be scared, but they don’t like the blood and the gore, and especially movies that have violence and torture involving women. Women don’t want to see that, I can tell you for damn sure right now.
God will not damn a lunatic’s soul. He knows that the powers of evil are too great for those of us with weak minds.
It’s just like, damn – I’m competing with myself.
I’m Anna Paquin. I’m bisexual and I give a damn.
I used to record songs, like, play the beat from one phone and have another phone recording me and just rap. Moving from that to a studio was like, ‘Damn, I never knew I could sound like this.’ It was just magic.
You can be fat and love yourself. You can be fat and have a great damn personality. You can be fat and sew your own clothes. But you can’t be fat and healthy.
I’ve done a fair amount of commercials. I did a bunch of Champion spark plug ads and Levi’s and Molson Beer. You wouldn’t know it. But some of it’s damn good.
Making the best of things is… a damn poor way of dealing with them. My whole life has been a series of escapes from that quicksand.
You know, I always say this – As an actor, we’re lucky to get a job. Then we’re lucky that anybody gives a damn to watch the thing that we’re in.
I love dogs. They live in the moment and don’t care about anything except affection and food. They’re loyal and happy. Humans are just too damn complicated.
My first film, ‘Ishaqzaade,’ did well, and I got four damn good films because of it.
How would Elvira run the state of California? Well, there isn’t much I could do that is worse than what Arnold Schwarzenegger has done. Running it into the damn ground. If I was running the whole nation? I would have free Netflix movies for everyone.
Though by whim, envy, or resentment led, they damn those authors whom they never read.
I didn’t know what kind of sound I wanted to make. I didn’t have no influences. I just heard my voice in the microphone and was like, damn, I like that.

You eat salad and you’re hungry the next 30 minutes and you’re hungrier from when you ate the damn salad.
If you want to see that human story unfold, if you want to understand that only the unexpected life is worth a damn, spend some time with 46 years of Lou Reed’s work: music that leaped and then looked. Safety is for the godless and the faithless.
I’ve got more skills in my pinky finger than half the damn guys in the UFC.
I didn’t know a damn thing about style.
Superhuman effort isn’t worth a damn unless it achieves results.
Fools, most linguists. Damn all to say in one language, so they learn another and say damn all in that.
Mine is a story about a teenage single mother who struggled to keep her young family afloat. It’s a story about a young woman who was given a precious opportunity to work her way up in the world. It’s a story about resiliency, and sacrifice, and perseverance. And you’re damn right it’s a true story.
Sigmund Freud was a novelist with a scientific background. He just didn’t know he was a novelist. All those damn psychiatrists after him, they didn’t know he was a novelist either.
I remember so many times in the summer there was shootouts and things going on and it was just a part of it. It wasn’t even like you regretted it; you still was looking forward to next summer. It was like oh damn, my man got killed but we gon’ rep him and next summer we gonna ball again. It was just a part of the culture.
I’m intact, and I don’t give a damn.
When you’re not involved, other people’s unhappiness seems to be about the funniest damn thing on earth because you think you can solve it, that you are God, that you are above this, and that their unhappiness is just such useless toil and agony. If it’s you, it ceases to be a comedy.
Nobody is going to pretend that I am younger than I am. Apart from anything else, it is in the papers all the damn time – every time I have a birthday.
At my age the only problem is with remembering names. When I call everyone darling, it has damn all to do with passionately adoring them, but I know I’m safe calling them that. Although, of course, I adore them too.
I have lost someone I loved as a brother, as a closest friend, and a remarkable human being. We have also lost one of the best damn actors we’ll ever see.
It has been said that there is no fool like an old fool, except a young fool. But the young fool has first to grow up to be an old fool to realize what a damn fool he was when he was a young fool.
It was hell to go through what I went through. I didn’t know I had so many friends. Many people gave a damn about my situation. They helped cure me.
My dear, I don’t give a damn.
But I always wound up being the damn John, when I wanted to be the Paul.
People don’t seem to understand that it’s a damn war out there.
That’s not how national security works… I don’t care what the Supreme Court said 30 years ago or what some judge said 15 minutes ago. This is America, and our government is collecting way too damn much data on we the private citizens!
Oscar Wilde said the rich and the poor are equal – they can both sleep under the bridge. Right? Do they have a right? You’re damn right they have a right!
I have never known anyone worth a damn who wasn’t irascible.
It was a fine cast and lots of fun to make, but they did the damn thing on the cheap. The backdrops had holes in them, and it was shot on the worst film stock.
The man who is always worrying about whether or not his soul would be damned generally has a soul that isn’t worth a damn.
So people ask, ‘But how can you work for a friend?’ I say it’s because I know that the magazine is called ‘O.’ The bottom line is somebody has to have the final word. Oprah’s not right all the time, but her record is pretty damn good. That’s not to say you can’t disagree.
Damn everything but the circus.
I reserve the right to tell shaggy dog stories or even common jokes as part of what I’m doing. I don’t give a damn if half the audience walks out.
L.A. runs on optimism, enthusiasm and flattery. I think you can go a little bit crazy. I’ve heard people say there’s a limit to the number of years you can stay in this city without going slightly mad. It’s just too damn sunny in every dimension – weather-wise, socially and professionally.
Lee May’s about the same age as me; he’s got about the same stats. So how come he’s making about one-eighty, two hundred thousand, and I’m the best damn paid player in the game? I’ll tell you why: Because I put the meat in the seats!
I have never insulted man or woman in my life, but if you knew what a wholesome regard I have for damn liars and rascals, they would be liable to keep out of my way.
I never made a damn dime until I started doing what I wanted.
You can criticize me. You can crucify me. You can love me. You can hate me. Just don’t make the mistake of calling me inauthentic, because you’d be a damn liar.
Fame is one of the potential hazards of this job, but I really just want to make movies. I want to be respected, sure. Who doesn’t? But famous-famous? I just don’t care about it. And if you genuinely don’t give a damn about that stuff, you really are free.
The camera does not like acting. The camera is only interested in filming behaviour. So you damn well learn your lines until you know them inside out, while standing on your head!
When you’re 89, dementia develops. I mean, I’ve told a story onstage, and I’m telling it with a full heart, and I forgot the damn punch line.
I remember seeing people who I thought were so confident and exuberant. I remember being young and watching Oprah and being like, ‘Damn. That lady is so confident. She can talk to anybody.’
You finish the damn match, point blank, period. That’s it, and I always finish, even if I’m finishing on my back.
I have a very strong feeling that the opposite of love is not hate – it’s apathy. It’s not giving a damn.
There will always be people who will first wait for somebody’s comment and then attack them. I’ll say they are just cowards. They have no opinions of their own. It’s very easy to be a sheep; it’s not easy to be a shepherd. One should not give a damn about these trolls. One should not give them importance at all.
The average user doesn’t give a damn what happens, as long as (1) it works and (2) it’s fast.

You go out with a girl you used to date, she looks so damn good, and then at a certain point you say, Boy, now I remember. I know why I left!
