I can think back to being four or five and not wanting to sit at the kids’ table because I thought it was demeaning. I was this ridiculous little kid.
People whose views are swung when you get into these ridiculous debates – I think they’re all nonsense. You’ve got to have a fundamental belief, you’ve got to believe in what you believe in.
Overall when you work in fashion, you’re always in a rush. You’re always a little late, always in a hurry. Every single moment’s important, so you never have enough time to do what you want to do. It’s ridiculous.
There’s only a step from the sublime to the ridiculous, but there’s no road leading from the ridiculous to the sublime.

Divorce is so common and accepted in America that beating myself up over it may sound ridiculous. But I was raised to believe that divorce wasn’t an option; to me, divorce equaled failure. I wasn’t able to change that equation until I found myself in the right relationship.
Walking has been ridiculous in college basketball the past 15 years.
Any fighter, at the end of the day, that says it’s not about the money is ridiculous. We wouldn’t be training this hard, putting our bodies on the line, and torturing our bodies if there wasn’t a payday at the end of the day.

My life is just a ridiculous one.

I collect art, and I drink wine… things that I like that I had never been exposed to. But I never said, ‘I’m going to buy art to impress this crowd.’ That’s just ridiculous to me. I don’t live my life like that, because how could you be happy with yourself?
The rate of childhood obesity is just ridiculous. Anytime I can get involved with teaching them how to get physical exercise, I want to help in any way possible.
I try to sing many different kinds of songs. If I sing a batch of humorous songs, I’ll throw in a deadly serious song. Or if I’m singing too many serious songs, I’ll throw in a ridiculous song, to mix it up.

An Australian girl size 12 and a Swedish girl size 12 are completely different, just because of the way they’re formed. It’s becoming this worldwide movement because people are getting it. We all have two different parents; we’re not supposed to look the same. It’s ridiculous.
I think the family is the place where the most ridiculous and least respectable things in the world go on.
What is sacred among one people may be ridiculous in another; and what is despised or rejected by one cultural group, may in a different environment become the cornerstone for a great edifice of strange grandeur and beauty.

I stand before you today to repudiate the ridiculous notion that the American people will not vote for qualified candidates simply because he is not white or because she is not a male.
If I’m two pounds heavier, I’m fat. If I’m skinnier, I’m sick. It’s ridiculous. And that’s not coming from agents or designers.

The first 600 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail, before you get into the Sierra Nevada mountain range, is heavy on desert. One of the things I carry with me in the desert is an umbrella.

If you can relate to what the character’s going through, the story can be as ridiculous as possible, and people will relate to it. You can be fearless in your storytelling if you’re vigilant about protecting your characters.
Sleep deprivation and I are old friends. I’ve been familiar with it for almost 20 years, ever since I started getting up at ridiculous o’clock for breakfast TV.
I got booed by my own fans when I came on in my first game for England. You go through things that are ridiculous. But you get to the stage you realise everyone’s got an opinion.
The Rock was one of my favourite comedy characters growing up, and I still think he is. Mainly because he took himself so seriously by being ridiculous and a buffoon all the time but always took the high status.
It’s kind of ridiculous, but I hate creepy crawlers. Like centipedes. It’s just the fact that they have so many legs! I am not great with spiders either. That absolutely creeps me out.
To me, it’s far more efficient to mobilize the imagination. It’s far more efficient to hear a creaking step, for example, than to see the face of a monster, which usually looks ridiculous, and where you know that the blood is ketchup.
The ridiculous events in everyday life are often overlooked – people don’t recognise it as potentially cinematic.
There are so many songs in my heart and in my brain. I wake up at 2 in the morning, and I have to get up and sing them. There are so many of them, it’s ridiculous.
Pets inspire many different types of behaviour in their owners, mostly ranging from adoration to ridiculous obsessiveness, in my experience.
My biggest vice is playing solitaire on my iPad. It’s bad. I mean, it’s ridiculous.

Here in L.A. the standard of beauty is kind of ridiculous. I want to be doing this when I’m in my fifties and sixties and this isn’t what I’m going to look like.

Online is ridiculous. Places like Ohio State bring people here together, and students teach each other.

I’d love to drive a Bugatti – something totally ridiculous but super fast.
What we do is ridiculous! I think that even when what I’m doing is serious, even when I’m not turning into a werewolf. It’s a silly thing to do, isn’t it? It’s what you do in the playground when you’re kids – but actors just never stop doing it.
Some people criticize North Koreans and ask, ‘Are they stupid? How can they believe those ridiculous things?’ But I say, It doesn’t matter if you’re smart: if you were born in North Korea, you would be exactly like us. We don’t know what freedom is. We have never enjoyed it.
No matter what I do, I can’t help but feel that I’m under a microscope. Some of it is completely silly, and some of it is meant to be hurtful. For example, a website accumulated all of my music videos to point out perceived Illuminati images. I loved that one. Of course, it was all ridiculous but funny.
