But just think what a boring, bread-and-milk world this would be without the boastful.

People say to me ‘You’re a big Hollywood star’, and I find it so funny. I still feel as though I’m the girl from Golders Green. I lead such a boring, normal life. I still go shopping in Sainsbury’s. If the ability to do that was taken away from me, I’d go barmy. You lose your freedom. Be careful what you wish for.
Spending a weekend with Hitler would have been boring in the extreme, although you would have had a greater certainty in coming back alive.

Why does the past seem so magical, so fraught, so luminous? At the time it was just, ugh, another boring bloody day. But, to look back on, it’s a day full of miracles and light and extraordinary events. Why is this? What process do we apply to the past, to give it this vividness? I don’t know.
I think I always wanted to be an actor – sounds a bit boring, doesn’t it? And I pretended once that I wanted to be a vet because one of the teachers asked me and saying you want to be an actor sounds a little bit silly. And I do still feel a bit silly saying it. You feel a bit fraudulent.
I’m fair-skinned, so beaches are a bit boring for me. I’m either smeared in lotion or under a shade. However, I do love the sea – diving, swimming and snorkelling.
To be honest dinner conversations was the worst bit about being a child and listening to the boring people around me.
Recently I read the stories I wrote in my early 20s, to put in a volume. And here is this brittle young woman, writing about marriage as, not the worst thing, but the most boring thing that could happen to a person. Now I think I was wrong. I like to be proven wrong.
People started coining the phrase, ‘Bubba Golf,’ whatever you want to call it, which I like. ‘Bubba Golf’ is going to be fun. I mean, why do what everybody else does? That’s boring.

A lot of mainstream photographers seem not to think about what they’re doing or feel any responsibility toward anything. By the time they’re done, the models don’t have any trace of themselves left. This thing about looking young with no wrinkles or expression is all so boring, really.
When you combine boring with fear, you have fun.
Better to be wrong than be boring.
I live in Nashville, and I love to sing. When I’m on stage, I feel like a performer for sure. I know people are looking at me and taking pictures and singing along, and that part’s wonderful, but I do live in Nashville. I live the most boring life away from what you see me on camera doing.
