Opulence doesn’t cost more than boring.
One thing all the way through the show to me is boring. I don’t care how great the artist is. I find that if my audience is very young, and they want to hear very young songs, my show will be dominated by that. But there’ll be some ballads here and there and some swing tunes.
The press don’t like to say nice things because nice is boring. It’s much better to label me the devil. What we do is not brain surgery. We are entertainers, plain and simple, and we’re responsible to bring that money back, to make a profit.

Obama’s great asset has always been an ability to maintain his air of authority without being baritone about it. He can be boring, but he is never ridiculous or pompous.

If you play the same club every week of every month, it’s kind of boring. It’s great that you can play one night in Brazil and one night in Japan, one night in Europe, and see the world. It’s amazing what you see if you travel around the world.
Any subject can be made interesting, and therefore any subject can be made boring.

When we think about the past, we think, ‘It must have been so boring.’ It’s actually not.
Boring heroines are, in my opinion, the most common romance mistake. We loathe hanging out with women who define themselves purely through their relationships… why would we want to read about them?
I can excuse everything but boredom. Boring people don’t have to stay that way.
When I write the set, I try to create something that will not only be interesting for the audience, but will have a flow for the band, too, so we don’t get boring.
I’m not meant to run around trees. I can’t throw my arms in the air and sing, I find that boring and irritating. Sweet romcoms are not my cup of tea. The film has to be a little twisted and quirky.
I’m very low-maintenance, and that is a problem. I’m not demanding at all, and sometimes I feel that I should be throwing tantrums. But since I don’t party or socialise, and am very low-key, I think that makes me very low-maintenance. Actually, I’m the most boring person at a party.
My agent was ambitious for me. But going out and chasing it? No, I’d rather work in my vegetable garden or play with my kid. I guess I’m kind of boring.

I find day after day of sunshine boring.

I lead an introverted and boring life here in California.
It’s the little things that stick with you though. Like the boring airport layovers and the bus breaking down in Prague. Those were the real bonding moments.
The hard part about writing about a guy like John Brown is that he was so serious, and his cause was so serious, that most of what’s been written about him is really serious and, in my opinion, a little bit boring.
Frankly, I am boring. My life is all about the film set, gym classes, and home.
It is sort of boring to stay in the same spot. You know, I didn’t set out to become the first to do this, the first to do that. It was just that my interests were so diversified.
Sometimes, when I have a lot of ideas and I want to do a lot of things, or when I’m traveling, I lose energy and I can’t do as many things as I want. So I have to plan days when I’m not doing anything. I find that a bit boring, but it’s necessary.
