The course is going to make you look silly sometimes. You have to be able to accept that and move on.
Man is the most intelligent of the animals – and the most silly.
I go where I think I can enjoy myself. Sometimes it’s on a big movie, and sometimes it’s even on a silly movie.
The love affair between black folks and the Clintons has been going on for a long time. It began back in 1992, when Bill Clinton was running for president. He threw on some shades and played the saxophone on ‘The Arsenio Hall Show.’ It seems silly in retrospect, but many of us fell for that.
You cannot make money with a hockey team. You cannot make money with a hotel, either, and you cannot make money with a golf club. I have all three of them. When you have a certain amount of money, you do silly things – because it’s pretty to have a golf course and it’s interesting to have a hockey team.
We had a bunch of models for user adoption of Robinhood Gold. The data team had some silly names for a range of adoption levels: ‘Mediocre expectations,’ ‘middle-of-the-road expectations’ and ‘great expectations.’ The numbers we ended up with were significantly higher than ‘great expectations.’
I was always putting on plays for my family. Usually silly ones. I used my imagination a lot, and it was something that came naturally to me.
I have had time to analyze my feelings. I am certain that they are totally neurotic, sexist, silly, and a big waste of time.
Always write your ideas down however silly or trivial they might seem. Keep a notebook with you at all times.
If someone tells you what something is supposed to look like or to follow a specific trend, but it looks silly on you, you don’t have to do it.

Shaq is just a goofy dancer. He’s just silly.
It’s silly to me to not be positive about rock advancing and growing. Really, we just want rock n’ roll to be mainstream.
As a kid in New Zealand, you play cricket in summer and rugby in winter. I played cricket and hockey. Not rugby. I wasn’t brawny enough for it. Or silly enough, perhaps.
Hanging out with my girlfriends is my sanity saver. We go out for a bad chick flick and dinner. I suggest you break free from the guys, see a really silly, girly movie, and get a little something to eat afterwards. It feels like a treat.
We find it hard to believe that other people’s thoughts are as silly as our own, but they probably are.
I really thank my parents for giving me the good sense to not get into anything wrong. There are many people around who like controversies, and I actually wonder how do they do it. I don’t have the courage to get into controversies. There are people who love it; I find it silly.
I think it’s like everything else; one shouldn’t dig too deeply. It’s silly to say that with a journalist, but sometimes there is not a truth to be found.
I like silly photos of me, looking stupid.
A lot of people who start work at a very young age never grow up because they never got that opportunity to be a child, so they hold on to that and still do a lot of childish, silly things.
So many silly things happen with a baby around. We laugh more than we expected.
When you’re young, you’re stupid. You do silly things.
Turns out you have a really fun time if you go to work every day and focus on being silly and funny and happy!
I was doing this children’s theater play, and it was non-Equity. We were out of town to do it at the Kennedy Center, and it was always kind of, ‘Well, the producers may have to turn this into Equity,’ and that’s what happened. It was kind of a silly children’s theater play, but that’s how I got my card.
I like that ‘Scrubs’ is very funny and silly and broad, but also emotional and real – sometimes within the same scene.
‘Seanan McGuire’ is my real name; if I’m being silly and third-person about it, she’s a frequently cranky, foul-mouthed Disney Princess on vacation in the real world, where she studies diseases, cuddles reptiles, watches lots of horror movies, and goes to as many corn fields as possible.
One of the things that is very silly – and I hear from educators all the time – is that schools essentially teach kids to learn. They don’t need school for that. Learning is what they do best.
I love to make fun of fashion because it is just so silly.
I loved cutting together simple commercials about margarine or soft drinks – all kinds of silly products – but I tried to make the commercials different.

Every time I do something silly, it comes off really funny because it’s natural.
My friends would probably describe me as silly. And honest. And that I think about things a bit too much.
I believe happiness is a chemical imbalance – it’s a silly thing to strife for. But satisfaction – if you seek satisfaction, you can succeed. Satisfaction is knowing that you’re doing the best that you can do; you’re living your life to the fullest.
It would be silly for me to work almost two and a half years chomping out whoever they put in front of me and for me to not capture that belt.
Poor, dear, silly Spring, preparing her annual surprise!
Madam your wife and I didn’t hit it off the only time I ever saw her. I won’t say she was silly, but I think one of us was silly, and it wasn’t me.
I know, when I was in film school, some of my films were silly, but a lot of them were more dramatic. I don’t think I intentionally set out to do comedy stuff. I guess that’s a consequence of coming up working with David O. Russell and skewing toward those sensibilities.
I’m very outspoken. I will ask a silly question, but I really am deadly serious. I’m like, ‘I want to know the answer.’
Carlos Sosa, the saxophone player for Zac Brown Band, and I worked up two songs for ‘When You’re Feeling Sick.’ They were a blast to work on. The songs are real upbeat and silly.
Paul Rudd’s a really weird, silly, silly man. He gets on ‘Friends,’ and he gets to show, like, one tiny little window of how truly berserk he can be.
I’m an eccentric, silly, observational guy, but I’m not gonna frighten off social conservatives.
It’s not like I’m advocating that we ban ‘Call of Duty’ or anything silly like that, I’m asking is for companies to look at their hiring practices, to hire more women… and make sure they portray women in their games in a socially responsible way.
I love sleeping in my son’s silly racecar bed. I love watching hours of ‘Yo Gabba Gabba.’ I love long playdates with his best friend Jack and traveling with Zev. Most of all I love coming home from work and seeing Zev run up to me saying, ‘My mommy’s home! My mommy’s home!’
We would be silly to say that race issues don’t exist in 2014.
The one consistent character in all of this is Chelsea Green, and that’s how people know me, even as all else changes. I can go out and be the hot mess, or go hard in matches or be silly, and that’s still all me.
Oh, I’ve never been asked a silly question in my entire life.
People like to pigeonhole and say, Well, I’m a Washington insider, and you know, that’s quite silly. What does that even mean?
I wrote my first song when I was six or seven, a silly little song. But I used to write poems in high school – not songs.
Nationalism is a silly cock crowing on his own dunghill.
Probably only an art-worlder like me could assign deeper meaning to something as simple and silly as Tebowing. But, to us, anytime people repeat a stance or a little dance, alone or together, we see that it can mean something. Imagistic and unspoken language is our thing.
The point with me is that it’s always been, even with the stand-up, that the music has to be right. You have to take it seriously. You have to try and play it as faithfully as possible. That way it helps the comedy. Rather than just playing it in a silly way.
My father said, If you want to do acting, you have to be successful, which is a silly thing to say.
There is always something I gain from watching a movie, whether it’s a silly romantic comedy or an art film.
Being funny with a funny voice is more my comfort zone, a broader character that I try to humanize, a kind of silly or wacky persona that I try to fill in.
‘The Muthaship’ was an experiment. All my friends are working at Endemol, so they just kind of pushed me into it to see if we could shoot a little web series on an iPhone – and that’s what we did: we shot it on an iPhone. So it’s so experiential and so silly.
If I ever feel like, ‘Oh, my life!’ or get upset by silly things like a photographer, or if someone has written something nasty that’s upset me, I just think, ‘Worse things happen at sea.’
I’m really silly. That’s the thing that people don’t get.
I thought maybe I’d be a farmer. That was another silly notion. I think I’d last about five minutes, being a farmer.
I try to acknowledge both the sacred and the silly in my work. That goes for the live show as well. If I find myself in my head or dwelling in seriousness, I think of my friends back home and how they’d be laughing at me.
