Love in the real world means saying you’re sorry 10 times a day.
I am convinced that, despite what you think of Obama, I don’t think Obama has a person-to-person connection with people. I think people love him because of his race and feel sorry for him, object of sympathy. I think people feel he’s a victim, he portrays himself as a victim of America; he gets sympathy that way.
It’s awkward to tell others that your spouse has died. Everyone becomes so sad and sorry, and you just hate like heck to have to break the news to someone who hasn’t heard the news.
I feel sorry for many politicians… we expect them to be completely consistent and moralised when we’re not.
If I’m making everyone wait, which happens… at least charm it on a bit. Go, ‘Oh I’m so sorry I’m late.’ Make up something.

If you’re in a conversation with me, the last thing I’ll probably say when I’m walking away is, ‘Thank you and sorry.’
I don’t waste any time at all. I have no time at all for people who are being very negative or people who are very whiny or people who feel sorry for themselves. I tend to go to them and just say, you don’t understand how incredible life is and how precious it is.
If I give up my career as a skater simply because I fear I won’t show my best performance, I would be really sorry later in life.

They saved my life but the accident was unavoidable so there was no point feeling sorry for myself. I just wanted to race again.

I – and I still consider myself, I’m sorry to tell you, a Marxist and a Communist, but I couldn’t help noticing how all the best Marxist analyses are always analyses of a failure.
I am not sorry for my crime.
I think that you are what you speak a lot of times, and there’s power in the tongue. I feel sorry for the people who always have something negative to say. If something happens bad in my day, I don’t tweet about it – I pray about it, or talk to my husband about it or my mother about it, and get it off of me and move on.
I mean, if you have to wake up in the morning to be validated by the editorial page of the New York Times, you got a pretty sorry existence.
I ever will profess myself the greatest friend to those whose actions best correspond with their doctrine; which, I am sorry to say, is too seldom the case amongst those nations who pretend most to civilization.
There have been times when I’ve reflected on my international career and just thought: ‘Well that was a massive waste of time.’ Sorry for sounding sour, but my best mate, David Beckham, got butchered after the World Cup in 1998, then my brother, Phil, after Euro 2000.
The ‘Bachelor’ producers have scripted and are responsible for certain events: the first moon landing, the end of the cold war, Astro-turf, and the Internet (sorry, Al Gore, it was us). But we are not responsible for, nor have we ever scripted, the ending of this show.
No one has the right to be sorry for himself for a misfortune that strikes everyone.
Being unapologetic means never having to say you’re sorry.
I’m going to be direct with the players. If they don’t like it, then I’m sorry.
Many of the greatest black athletes of all time played baseball for no money and no recognition. I’m just sorry many major league fans never got to see them play, because many of them were awesome.
I have this complex that if I walk into a place wearing a colorful shirt someone will stop me and say, ‘I’m sorry, but the Latin band comes through the other door.’
I love having the control over the end result and not having to go through some committee to get something approved. I feel sorry for people, like actors, because unless you’re Woody Allen or Mel Gibson, they don’t have much say in the decisions that affect their work.
I’m sorry if the following sounds combative and excessively personal, but that’s my general style.
I met Robert Redford at the Golden Globes because he stepped on my foot. He stepped on my foot as he was walking by, and he was like, ‘Oh, I’m so sorry!’ And I was like, ‘It’s all right. Robert Redford can step on my foot.’
We’ve been swimming at nude beaches and I love to go skinny dipping, but I’m sorry, sitting on top of a mountain, that’s just, you’re trying to show off or something. That’s ridiculous.
I think I said something mean when I was little, and my mother snapped on me. I was just like, ‘I’m sorry!’ I could relate. If I had cursed out my dad, I probably would be just waking up.
The judges are trying to make the sports as safe as possible and I was just sorry they thought it necessary to consider me dangerous.
I’m not going to whine or get depressed. Who’s going to feel sorry for me? Nobody.
I learned to drive when I was 35. I’m driving like an old lady and very close to the wheel. I don’t take many risks, and when people yell at me I say ‘sorry, sorry, sorry!’ I don’t have road rage yet.
I’m sorry, but I can’t make a movie with the blonde from ‘ER’ who is starring in every single bad romantic comedy.
I sort of feel sorry for the next man who gets me. I may just kill him with passion. He’d better be strong and have a good heart!
But let’s be clear. We’re talking about a country where there’s no opposition. As leader he can ignore Parliament and – sorry that’s Tony Blair isn’t it? Um, so he doesn’t even have to ask the country before he goes to war – sorry that’s still Tony Blair.
While Turing was dealt with under the law of the time, and we can’t put the clock back, his treatment was of course utterly unfair, and I am pleased to have the chance to say how deeply sorry I and we all are for what happened to him.
I’m sorry, it’s true. Having children really changes your view on these things. We’re born, we live for a brief instant, and we die. It’s been happening for a long time. Technology is not changing it much – if at all.
Jasmine apologized and said she was sorry and said she loved me, she couldn’t believe it and said she thought it would be her. All of them were really, really sorry that it happened to me.
There are movies that we have done that haven’t come out very well. That doesn’t feel very good. But ‘Jem’ is in a different category. I’m proud of the movie. I stand by the movie, but I’m obviously sorry it didn’t do any better.
For starters, let’s dispense with the cheap jokes about cannibalism. That means cracks about giving an arm and a leg – sorry – for a good book on the subject, or similar tasteless – sorry, again – attempts to make the subject more palatable – last one.
Creating boundaries for yourself is healthy. A lot of panic attacks, in my experience, can be stopped by actually saying to somebody, ‘Sorry I can’t actually do this because I feel uncomfortable.’
Being vulnerable and saying, ‘I’m sorry,’ and trying to be better is a really wonderful thing to see in somebody who maybe wasn’t like that before.

I got to play in a crowd, play in Wimbledon finals, be the guy on a Davis Cup team for a while. Those are opportunities not a lot of people get. As much as I was disappointed and frustrated at times, I’m not sure that I ever felt sorry for myself or begrudged anybody any of their success.
I don’t think ‘my way or the highway’ works, that mentality. And that’s what the Tea Party has done: drawn a line in the sand. I’m sorry – that doesn’t work in business, that doesn’t work in your family, it certainly doesn’t work in government and our Congress.
