I know I’m hated. Or rather, that people struggle with dislike for me.
My first job was when I was about 12, cleaning houses in the afternoons for different elderly women in town. I hated it.
I really hated school. I had the feeling I was losing a lot of time.
I always hated acting but I kept on acting.
I never hated a man enough to give him diamonds back.
I actually hated hunting the first time I went when I was a kid. My dad took us deer hunting. We sat there for 30 minutes, and I felt like I was losing my mind. But in college, I fell in love with it. Football became a full-time job, and I needed an escape. I needed something that would mellow me out.
By the end of my career I just really hated being out there on that field and being subjected to what was happening to me.
I’ve been very selfish and the women in my life have hated that because of my work ethic. I try not to bring my work home but the next day I want to go prepared. So okay let’s have a few moments of camaraderie whatever… okay great! I go work on the script.
I used to hate doing color. I hated transparency film. The way I did color was by not wanting to know what kind of film was in my camera.
You can write a song for someone, and then their mom doesn’t like it, and then it doesn’t get released. It could be the best song that you’ve ever written. I hated that, because I didn’t have any control.
Everybody hates Goodell. He unifies all Patriots fans, all New England, everybody hates him equally. He’s really a hated guy.
I understand it for marketing purposes, but I’ve always hated defining myself with a genre. Nothing feels broad enough.
What scares me about drone strikes is how they are perceived around the world. The resentment created by American use of unmanned strikes… is much greater than the average American appreciates. They are hated on a visceral level, even by people who’ve never seen one or seen the effects of one.
They hated Sammy Hagar for 12 years and they hate him to this day.
I have always hated celebrities lecturing people on politics.
Even when I was a little kid, I hated to dress up. I hated to put on regular shoes. I wanted to play all the time. I hate to wear any kind of coat or sweater. I’ve never liked hot. I’ve never liked to be warm.
I definitely went through a period where I don’t want to say I hated myself, but I hated what I saw in the mirror. I would try to cover it up, and it wasn’t until I started doing sports – until after London 2012 – that I kind of started getting more of that confidence in my body and appreciating my body.
I’m telling you, every film I’ve ever made has been hated by the U.K. critics.
It astonished me in the early Nineties to suddenly have musicians admit that they had been inspired and influenced by us. That meant a lot at that time. But of course, being human, the… disrespect isn’t even strong enough a word, is it? The opprobrium was painful. Being popular and hated is not satisfying.
I was mortified by my parents – what they did, who they were, everything. I hated who I was. I hated everything, and I would live in a fantasy world and try to be different. But that’s not a lot different, I think, than a lot of kids.
The framers hated the tyranny of King George, but they were also afraid of the mob. That’s why they put so many checks and balances into our system, to guard against the excesses of a government that might be inflamed by public passion or perverted by a dictator’s whim.
I wasn’t an academic. I hated maths and science at school. I couldn’t concentrate.
Machines are worshipped because they are beautiful and valued because they confer power; they are hated because they are hideous and loathed because they impose slavery.
My mom made me watch ‘Star Wars’ for the first time when I was about 7 years old. When I was younger, I hated action movies and pretty much anything loud. So when she put it on, I covered my ears and ran out of the room.
I hated cracking the whip, and these juries turn into political things.
When I was in high school, my mom hated football. But then, the more I played, the more it grew on her. This game has done a lot for my family – not just from a financial standpoint, but it also helped bring my family together.
I just absolutely, totally hated school. It was like a prison to me. I just could not stand that structured, absolute disciplined way of having to deal with life.
When they hated me, it was hell. I used to fight the crowd before I even started my matches. It was crazy.
Liver is my number one most hated food. Oh, God, I get sick talking about it!
I went to a really diverse and wonderful school in inner-city Pittsburgh, where all the various groups and types of people got along pretty great, and a lot of interesting stuff was going on all the time – and I still hated high school. It’s just a rough, rough period in one’s life.
I am super shy. I was one of those people where I can’t even order something on the phone. Like, I hated that.
I was a theater major, and I remember being in college, and whenever my professor would assign me songs that I hated, I really had a hard time singing them. One time, I even faked sick so I wouldn’t have to sing a song.
I really hated school and so I just wanted to stay home and watch ‘I Love Lucy’ and watch the movies that inspired me to the point where we are sitting here.
I was not naturally meant to be on stage. I hated being in the spotlight; I was scared.
I did plenty of jobs that I hated. I was a bank teller and terrible at it. I parked cars, a valet. I answered phones. I somehow avoided being a waiter. I knew I wouldn’t be able to keep the order straight. I’m not much of a multi-tasker.
I’ve always looked the same. Since I was a child, I hated having to deal with my hair. I hated having to change my clothes. As a kid, I had a sailor shirt and the same old corduroy pants, and that’s what I wanted to wear everyday.
I turned from a fan favourite to a player they hated in no time.
You won’t believe it, but for the first two years of our marriage I lived off my wife. Like every self-respecting man, I hated it.
I never hated hip-hop. It became the new rock and roll. It became the biggest thing that Africans have ever done in the history of the Americas. Hip-hop put more black Americans on than anything before it. It fed more people. It allowed them to diversify into clothing lines and billion-dollar headphone companies.
If you go through your life being completely truthful, everybody will hate you, and something I deeply fear is being hated.
When I retired first time around, injury had beaten me, and I hated that. Now I realise I’m no longer good enough. And I can handle that. It’s fine that I’m not good enough.
I think the Mama people remember is from ‘Mama’s Family.’ She really turned into a pretty cool character. The sketches from the ‘Burnett’ show, if people are old enough to remember, were written by writers who all hated their mothers.
I’d always been a very competitive boy – I hated coming second.
I always hated to throw a guy out of a game but sometimes it was necessary to keep order.
My day jobs… I knew I was bad at those, so I didn’t really have the confidence to think that I could do comedy. But I knew I hated the day jobs.
I hated the Naked Chef. Fine, yes, he did good things for school food or whatever, but, you know, I don’t want my chefs to be cute and adorable.
America is simultaneously the most attractive and most repulsive place on the planet. It is most loved and most hated.
My seventh-grade year, I played football. I was, like, 15 pounds overweight, so I had to lose a ton of weight. They put me at left tackle; they put me on the defensive line. I absolutely hated football. I didn’t want to play again. Eighth grade year, I didn’t play.
My dad likes to tease me over this. We weren’t there at Fenway, and it wasn’t a consequential game, but Trot Nixon let a ball go through his legs, and from that moment on, I hated Trot Nixon. Really irrational. Based in nothing. But did not like him.
I hated to see tabloids with my pictures where I looked so plump. I visited so many doctors, clinics, hit the gym, hired an expensive trainer but nothing worked. I went into an acute depression. Its then that somebody advised me to take up Yoga.
Qaddafi is hated because he is the leader of a small country that is rich, but he uses his money to finance liberation struggles.
I have always hated fancy dress parties.
If the Police could do a reunion… One of the biggest jerks I ever met was Sting. If he can do it, then anyone can do it. It’s not that big a deal. And the Eagles! They did it! They severely hated each other. It’s just rock and roll.
I wrote… Neon Ballroom in that time where I hated music, really everything about it, I hated it.
Singles – we hated it, going on ‘Top Of The Pops’ and all that rubbish.
As a child, I was subjected to a lot of spaghetti Westerns and hated them. I wanted the Indians to win – or just not be so sad!
I haven’t always hated McDonald’s. When my kids were little and I lived in the U.S., they were as susceptible as anyone to Happy Meals and tatty toys that subsequently littered our sitting room.
If I didn’t get a job, between 16 and 18, that wasn’t significant, I was just going to go to college. I didn’t want to be a struggling actor at 36 with five kids, doing something I hated. You see the story so much. It’s such a vicious business to be in when you’re not meant to be in it.
