The easiest thing to say is, ‘I’m sorry.’ We don’t do that.
There is something so amiable in the prejudices of a young mind, that one is sorry to see them give way to the reception of more general opinions.
Many a time freedom has been rolled back – and always for the same sorry reason: fear.
John McCain knows as well as anyone that Sarah Palin has no business being anywhere near the Oval Office. I’m sorry, it’s got nothing to do with the fact that she wears skirts – she’s grossly unqualified.
I just heard a very funny story about somebody who died yesterday, I’m sorry to say so but it was so absurd that you can’t help laughing. And the person that was concerned about that story was laughing too.
In our private lives, we hate saying sorry. I would rather saute my eyeballs in butter than admit I am wrong to my husband.
I am sorry I could not see my father.

I’m sorry: I’m a businessman. I’m not a politician.
I cook a little bit. I make a Hungarian dish called chicken paprikash that’s out of this world. I’ll give a heads-up to all of your readers that it doesn’t have to be between Thai and Mexican every night. Toss some Hungarian in every once in a while. You will not be sorry. Good, solid peasant food.
The time when there is no one there to feel sorry for you or to cheer for you is when a player is made.
New Zealand has better food – sorry, America.
Pressure selling is firmly rooted in American economic life, and I’m sorry it is, for it should not be necessary. Some people think part of the panic following 1929 was due to too much pressure in selling.

I cannot hide being sorry for failing to move to Juventus.
In the U.S. – yes, sorry, the U.S. – surgeons and doctors usually give you their cell phone numbers, and tell you to call anytime if anything goes wrong. They often call to follow up after a visit, or go over test results. They have email.

I let a lot of people down, and for that I am truly sorry.
Al Jolson was my first husband. He always used to boast that he was spoiling me for any man who might come after him. I think Al sensed that it wasn’t easy for me being married to an American institution… Was he right about spoiling me? I’m sorry. I couldn’t possibly say. I couldn’t be that indiscreet.
Obviously, my wife is very important, very important because in all this time she never watched me with that look that means ‘I am sorry,’ or that means ‘poor you.’
I got in a fight one time with a really big guy, and he said, ‘I’m going to mop the floor with your face.’ I said, ‘You’ll be sorry.’ He said, ‘Oh, yeah? Why?’ I said, ‘Well, you won’t be able to get into the corners very well.’

I’ll have people ask if they can take a picture with me when I’m not wearing makeup and I’m like, ‘I’m sorry, I don’t have the self-confidence for that’.
Honestly, I’m cool with everyone, and people pick up on that. I’d say, ‘I’m not gay, but it’s all good.’ It’s kind of like going to Paris when you don’t know the language; some Americans get into trouble over there, but I’m just like, ‘Sorry, I don’t speak French.’
The worst part of my life is newspapers are still alive – sorry, I had to say it.
The future rewards those who press on. I don’t have time to feel sorry for myself. I don’t have time to complain. I’m going to press on.
John Howard, willing to apologise to home owners for rising interest rates, would not say sorry to Aborigines. He refused to condone what he referred to as ‘a black armband version’ of history, preferring a jingoistic nationalism.
To all my nonbelieving, sort-of-believing, and used-to-be-believing friends: I feel like I should begin with a confession. I am sorry that so often the biggest obstacle to God has been Christians.

It is not easy for me to sing consonants, and I am sorry if I don’t sing the ‘S’.
There are three kinds of people in this world: 1) People who make lists, 2) People who don’t make lists, and 3) People who carve tiny Nativity scenes out of pecan hulls. I’m sorry, there isn’t really a third category; it’s just that a workable list needs a minimum of three items, I feel.
If Rob Ford decided he wanted to run for the Liberal Party in 2015, we’d say, ‘No, sorry, the way you approach things, the way you govern, the way you behave is not suitable to the kind of Liberal team we want to build.’
While I’m grateful for the freedom to express one’s self, I’ve learned there are limits to what language is appropriate and I’m deeply sorry for how these lyrics could be interpreted.
I’ve never been heckled. I think because I look too small and vulnerable. Sometimes I look out into the audience and see pity in their eyes, so I guess those people may be the ones who would shout something out if they didn’t feel so sorry for me.
When Julia and I broke up and I was really scared to go into a market or anywhere because I thought, ‘Oh God, everyone must hate me. And that wasn’t the case. People said, ‘I’m sorry this happened, man. Are you alright?’

I am sorry for what has happened and I know that I need some help.
Science fiction writers, I am sorry to say, really do not know anything. We can’t talk about science, because our knowledge of it is limited and unofficial, and usually our fiction is dreadful.
When the Lord Chancellor violates the trust of his great office of state to solicit party donations from people whose careers he can control, and then says I’m not sorry, and I’d do it again no wonder the public think that power has gone to their heads.
It’s really difficult for me. Language, I am sorry that I haven’t. I think I just always expected that you learn a word in place of a word and when I discovered how difficult the grammar was and learning that was very discouraging for me.
Just because I am a celebrity doesn’t mean I can’t say, ‘Sorry.’
Jim Sheridan, the MP who wants to ban sketchwriters from the Commons for being rude about politicians, is a blithering idiot. Sorry, scrub that – clearly a very thoughtful person with whom I might conceivably disagree on some marginal issues. A blithering savant, perhaps.
I’m sorry I can’t speak very coherently.
You have to have the time to feel sorry for yourself in order to be a good abstract expressionist.
A man never apologizes for the fact that he has to work. He might say, ‘Hey, I am so sorry my hours were long today,’ but he’d never feel he has to explain the very fact that he has a career. Once I stopped apologizing, I noticed both my kids also stopped complaining and asking me ‘why’ I worked.
How does one know if she has forgiven? You tend to feel sorrow over the circumstance instead of rage, you tend to feel sorry for the person rather than angry with him. You tend to have nothing left to say about it all.
Now that we are cool, he said, and regret that we hurt each other, I am not sorry that it happened.

Proper Sabbath is Sabbath with Bill Ward. I’m sorry, it just is.
I always wanted to be an actor. It’s something I always secretly wanted. You know, I had the experience of being picked on as a child, and I would tell people, ‘You’re gonna be sorry when I’m famous!’ And then I learned after they kicked the stuffing out me that you don’t say that out loud.
We want to see goals and excitement but I am sorry to say that VAR is killing every part of that. You are losing the raw emotion of the game we absolutely love.
I think the guy who has had the better films is Will Smith. I don’t know if he’s a better actor than me. I don’t think so. I am a rapper first. Man, I just love what I do. I am just the greatest and I can’t help it. I’m sorry man.
Sorry to interrupt myself, but it’s the only way I stop talking.
We would often be sorry if our wishes were gratified.
I am so sorry to see the state of reading in such decline. I think it says something really scary and terrible about us as a culture. I think it does have to do with everyone’s total global embrace of technology.
I feel sorry for people who only know comic books through movies. I really do.
When people performing on the public’s behalf feel intimidated, it’s a sorry affair.
