After all these years of saying the same thing about the Alvin Ailey company – terrific dancers, awful repertory – I’m finally accepting the inevitable: I’m not going to change my mind, and they’re not going to change their ways. And why should they, given their juggernaut success all over the world?
If I could stomach the awful part of being a veterinarian, which involves sticking your hand up animals’ behinds, I would be a vet.
I read my sister’s diary when I was 7. She was, I think, 13. It was awful to read it.
The adult is the enemy of the child because of the awful process of civilizing this thing that, when it is born, is an animal with no manners, no moral sense at all.

Bryan Gray at Preston gave me a chance, even though Joe Royle and Ian Rush were being linked with the job. He taught me an awful lot about structuring the job and encouraged me to invest in young players.
One of the most important things you learn from the Internet is that there is no ‘them’ out there. It’s just an awful lot of ‘us.’
I’m a film buff and I was keen to find out about the response to Daniel Craig’s 007. ‘Empire’ and ‘Hot Dog’ had great reviews, and finally he’s been accepted as the new Bond. So many millions go into that franchise that if you make a mistake, it’s awful.
The Internet bullies are awful.
Part of what you hear when somebody says something awful to you is like, ‘They’re right, I look ridiculous, why am I dressed this way, I should go home and change.’ For me that voice is always in my head, right around the corner.
With ‘Black and White’ we laid down the canvas for what’s possible in ‘Black and White’ 2 and 3. We gave you a creature that you could nurture and build up and we focused an awful lot on that creature with the add-on disc.
The worst days are when you feel foggy in the head – chemo-brain they call it. It’s awful because you feel boring. As well as bored. And stupid. And resigned.

My jet lag is getting a bit ridiculous. But, you know, it’s first-world problems. It’s a wonderful problem, ‘Oh I have to travel around the world; how awful.’
I’m contemplating moving to London for a period of time. I’ve been in Los Angeles for 15 years and I’m really tired of it. I’m continually uninspired by what’s being sent to me. Even by huge films that they’re doing there. They’re just awful.
When things are difficult, awful, stressful, the thing that always gets you through is a sense of humour. I don’t mean – well, maybe I do – laugh at the hangman as he puts the noose around your neck. But an eye, an ear, for the ridiculous, the absurd in life, can get you through a lot.
One of the reasons why I wanted to be part of the League Managers Association was because I felt there were an awful lot of foreign coaches coming into these shores, but we were not exporting enough British talent.

There’s an awful lot of future out there, and what you got to do, is you go to out and grab it, wrestle it to the ground, accept the challenges, and then decide. You’ve got the skills. You’ve got the knowledge. You’ve got the love, and you’re capable of moving forward and making a great life yourself.
You have to think an awful lot about your motivations or people’s behavioral intentions or what their body language can indicate or what’s really going on or what makes people sometimes do, sometimes, the irrational things they do.

It’s always good to remind yourself of how awful people can be, even when they seem to be projecting kindness.

I still get awful depression. It’s who I am.
One of the things I am grateful for is that I was able to make contact again with Khun Vichai and work with him again. I still have an awful lot of admiration, warmth and respect for how he worked. I still feel that connection to the people I worked with at Leicester.
As soon as I start reading, drawing comes to me more easily. I find I work in my sketchbooks more. But if I’m working on a new show, my reading completely stops except when I’m on a plane. I take a stack of New Yorkers with me. I feel awful about those stacks of New Yorkers.
People tend to treat people with disabilities sort of like they’re aliens from another planet. It doesn’t come from a bad place; it comes from a place of, ‘I have no idea what this disability entails, and I don’t want to offend anyone or make them feel awful.’
Once, I was followed by a car when I was driving. Every time I sped up, the car sped up, and when I slowed down, it slowed down. Eventually, I stopped, got out and screamed, ‘What do you want?’ He said, ‘I just wanted to give you some flowers because I’m such a fan.’ I felt awful. He was just being kind.
I’ve worked with an awful lot of people. Katy Hepburn, Spencer Tracy.
There’s an awful lot of hanging around when you’re doing science fiction. Going down and waiting for them to set up, being told to go back to your dressing room while they change the track and the lighting and so on.

People are leaving trails everywhere they go; automated web crawlers tell you an awful lot about their social activities. The flow of information in fundamentally unobtrusive ways into social control organisations has risen dramatically.
We take our health for granted until something awful happens.
I’m inclined to think that, because it’s such an awful life, that politicians do go into it for the best reasons. I mean, some may love the sound of their own voice. But it’s such a wearying life, you’ve got to be impelled by some desire to leave the world a better place than when you came into it.
I’ve been lucky enough in ‘The West Wing’ and ‘Brothers & Sisters’ to talk about the issues that are important to me with none of the awful mud-slinging or public scrutiny you have in politics.

An awful lot of actors shy away from the uglier aspects of the human condition. They want to be liked, which is a cop-out. You’ve got to go for it.

Texas is still resistant to Howard Johnsons, interstate highways and some forms of phoniness. It is the place least likely to become a replica of everyplace else. It’s authentically awful, comic, and weirdly charming, all at the same time.
