For me the printing process is part of the magic of photography. It’s that magic that can be exciting, disappointing, rewarding and frustrating all in the same few moments in the darkroom.
I understand personally that it is frustrating to lose presidential elections by narrow margins.
The most frustrating thing is that I want to always buy the best thing, the thing that does the most stuff.
Intimacy is a wonderful thing. It’s frustrating that growing up I thought it was wrong. It isn’t. Exploring your sexuality is important when you’re growing up.
Now we’re in the midst of not just advocating for change, not just calling for change – we’re doing the grinding, sometimes frustrating work of delivering change – inch by inch, day by day.
I do enjoy walking, but there’s got to be a goal at end of it. It’s one of the reasons I hate treadmills. All that jogging and going nowhere – it’s too frustrating.
What I think is frustrating for Americans is that it feels like more was going to change with Obama.
Obviously there aren’t many opportunities for someone who looks like me to walk in fashion shows. It’s incredibly frustrating.
Women are far and away the bigger consumers of fiction than men, but men are still far and away the more reviewed, the more critically esteemed, the more respected. That can get frustrating.
Not to play is frustrating, and I don’t accept it, but I do the best I can to try to play.
Music can be so disturbing and frustrating. I mean the business side of it. The actual making music part is fun, but the business side of it is just so out of control, has nothing to do with anything.
It can be a bit frustrating to always get the soft-rock stamp.
One thing that was frustrating to us, always, was having to do so much press building up an album, and you’re asked so many questions about, you know, is it more melodic, is it heavier, are you doing your old stuff, is it new?
It’s difficult losing, but it’s even more difficult when you didn’t make a shot. I could see the ball just didn’t go your way on an out-of-bounds play or something like that, but when you’re just not making them, it’s frustrating.
Television is a business and, financially speaking, they have decisions and considerations that go far beyond the creative merit of the show. But at the same time, you’d like to believe in a man’s word. When he shakes your hand and says he’s going to stay with it, and doesn’t, it’s really frustrating in a way.
In order for life to be more than a frustrating game of one-upsmanship, one has to remain emotionally open and vulnerable.
If you want a dancer’s body, dance. Dance aerobics is my favourite cardio. It’s very frustrating if people think you have to become a dancer to do it – you don’t.
And one of the frustrating parts, but it’s an inherent part of our democracy, is we have separation of powers.
It was very frustrating when I was president of Hakoah. You could not make any headway. We couldn’t attract the public because it was an ethnic game. Australians were not interested.
What’s so fascinating and frustrating and great about life is that you’re constantly starting over, all the time, and I love that.
I used to find limitations frustrating, but I find them enormously liberating.
It’s interesting because I don’t ever want to ask a better question than I can answer, if that makes sense. I find that frustrating as a viewer. Compelling questions, while not easy, are easier than compelling answers.
I don’t know if I’ve got the capacity for all of the creativity that I want to put out there, which is annoying and frustrating – it’s kinda like torture.
I wasn’t mad, but it was maybe a little frustrating sometimes seeing some friends and peers my age do well. Not because I wasn’t cheering for them – because I feel like I was as good as them.
My character’s kind of grown up with Katniss. The beginning of the story, they’re more or less brother and sister than anything. They’re best friends. They’ve been keeping each other alive. It’s a little frustrating, for the character. As the character, not as me.
Writing is the most frustrating, but it’s something that I’ve always done.
I have heard of ‘Green Street’-dedicated birthday parties, a website dedicated only to the clothing. It has no end. If you hashtag #greenstreet or #greenstreethooligans, you cannot go a day without people saying it’s their favourite movie. It’s frustrating because it’s a massive hit, but nobody gives it credit.
I think there’s something really freeing about improv, that it’s a collective, creative, in-the-moment piece. That’s really exciting and really frustrating, because it’s there and gone. There’s an amazing interaction with the audience that happens because they are very much another scene partner.
To me, it feels like every time I’m watching some trans story, it’s about their grief around their gender. And there’s not really a lot of opportunity for them to explore stories outside of that. It’s just really frustrating. It’s really one dimensional.
I would never crawl into a secret space to avoid the frustrating things.
The weird thing is, if I’d made ‘The Incredibles,’ shot-for-shot – exactly the same script, same timing, same shots – in live action, it would be perceived very differently, and somehow more adult than me doing it in animation. I find that fascinating and frustrating.
When I was young, I took classical ballet lessons, but I wasn’t very good at it. It was really frustrating because I wanted to be good at it. When I stopped having lessons, I began to dance and improvise, and I felt more comfortable.
England was very frustrating in the Seventies for anyone who was trying to wake up. It was visible in punk, in clothes, and in the revival of mods and rockers fighting. All kinds of things were going on that just weren’t individual to myself.
I don’t typically have a social life, I don’t have a family, and I will stay up all night, every night, for days on end, to solve something that I think is solvable. And it’s very frustrating sometimes, because I know that I’m like that, and it’s not always a positive result.
A little girl who finds a puzzle frustrating might ask her busy mother (or teacher) for help. The child gets one message if her mother expresses clear pleasure at the request and quite another if mommy responds with a curt ‘Don’t bother me – I’ve got important work to do.’
I’m trying to talk to my kids in Japanese, because I’m not a pro English speaker. My wife speaks to them in English. That’s her first language. I don’t want my kids to feel the same as me when I was studying English. It was so frustrating.
No one cares about anything until it’s something that goes viral. It’s most certainly frustrating.
When you sign for a new club, you just want to play, and when injury stops you, it is frustrating.
I love writing for dancers. You don’t have to worry about the lyrics. I think to write words without music must be so frustrating. It must be always be so good, so perfect.
I really enjoy doing the action stuff, but you have to be careful about who you say yes to with the action stuff ’cause some people want to do it but don’t know how, and then it just becomes incredibly frustrating.
It is frustrating that religion in general includes components that treat women as a support system for a man rather than a leader or equal player in the relationship.
Washington is deeply frustrating because so many of the positions that politicians hold are a product of ephemeral self-interest. They reverse themselves, for themselves, all the time.
I hate phone calls, so I believe in a telephone armistice. To me, the idea of calling someone unprompted is basically saying, ‘Hey, stop whatever you’re doing and talk to me right now.’ If you find yourself in the middle of something, getting an unprompted annoyance is incredibly frustrating.
When I was at university, I did essays on political theatre. And it was really frustrating that the ideas weren’t reaching the people they were talking about. Standup is the one place where you are talking to every level of society.
It’s been frustrating for me, as I’ve been injured a lot, but hopefully, I can get more fitness and get time on the pitch.
When I say, ‘doin’ it, doin’ it, doin’ it’ to a group of small business owners, they immediately respond. They recognize the experience of doing the same things over and over. Keeping the business afloat without ever getting ahead. And it’s more than frustrating – it’s heartbreaking.
With writing, I love doing it, but there’s that love-hate relationship: You’re not having a good run, you’ve hit a wall; it’s frustrating.
It’s frustrating actually, the time involved in getting something released these days. My new CD has actually been finished for a year. It’s only now that it’s being released.
Most of the balls that I’ve dropped have been from a result of trying to run before I actually catch the ball. It’s frustrating. I just have to go and fix them.
When you really can’t affect something, you almost don’t wanna wish too hard, because it’s just frustrating.
Don’t get me wrong: I love the great times I had with Static-X, but sometimes the writing/recording process was frustrating for me.
You come in on practice squad and you know you’re not going to play in the game, you know you’re not going to get any reps. It’s frustrating… you don’t want to just practice your whole life. You want to practice to play.
