We’re understandably worried that staring at screens all day, and blogging about our breakfasts, is turning America into a nation of narcissists. But the opposite might be true.
Parents get worried that kids will hold grudges. But they just don’t.
I’ve got less respect for our politicians, for instance, who are not worried or apparently don’t even consider the fact that Apple and a lot of the other good technology companies are going to create an automatic car. Think of the jobs that’s going to cause to be gone.
We live in a world where there are many risks, and it’s high time we start taking seriously which ones we should be worried about.
I don’t think we can have democracies that work where most of the people are not benefiting economically, where most of the people are worried about their job security.
For me, the acting part – and I have to say it makes me a little worried about my own psychological make-up – is that I just love to hide in other characters. I don’t like to get up in front of people and talk as Kathy Baker. But as soon as you say ‘action,’ I’m lost in that character.
Ralph Reed is deeply ambitious and always was so. There was a time when he… in one of my interviews, he said he pondered running the Ross Perot campaign, and he wasn’t sure he wanted to do the Christian Right thing; he was worried that it boxed him into a corner.
There is militaristic-hegemonic-plutocratic side of the U.S. which is getting out of hand and threatens to corrupt the whole republic. I remain a deeply concerned, committed admirer, but also a very worried one.
I don’t need anyone creatively to tell me how I’m supposed to be. Only I know the answer to that. Only I know what I would say. That’s always been my outlook. I haven’t really worried about rubbing people wrong because I only know how to be Bray. And Bray is always going to be Bray.
If you’re always worried about being on your phone, then you really are missing out on everything that’s happening in front of you.
I think some authors suffer from a need to try to prove that they’re clever and educated. I try not to suffer from that. I would rather sacrifice my own narrative in the exercise of writing a biography. So I’m not worried about whether I’m clever.
I never worried about getting stale because the news and the people induce freshness every working hour.
I’m not worried about sacks in the preseason.

Service is the only thing that’s important about love. Everybody is worried about ‘losing yourself’ – all this narcissism. Duty. We can’t stand that idea now either… But duty might be a suit of armor you put on to fight for your love.
Most amateurs are so worried about mis-hitting the shot or hitting it off line, they don’t make an aggressive move. You’d be surprised how much better your swing will get if you let your natural athletic ability shine. So go after it.
My daddy wanted me to be a farmer; feel the smoothness of Alabama clay and become one of the first blacks in my town to own land. But, I was worried about my history being caked with that southern clay, and I subscribed to a different kind of teaching and learning in my bones and in my spirit.
I’m worried about taking care of myself and working out and taking my body to the best it could be.
Follow your instincts. Do the kind of writing you love to do and do best. ‘Stiff’ was an oddball book – I mean, a funny book about cadavers? – and I worried that it would be too unconventional. In the end, that’s what has made it a success, I think.
I’m just so comfortable with my hard work that I’m not worried about if I didn’t get a job, or I didn’t get that movie, or they didn’t like me. It’s like, ‘It’s OK. I can go play golf now. Have a great day.’
Religion is constantly being talked about, debated, pondered, worried about.
I’m not a ‘real rapper’; I just like to talk about what I’ve been through. When I was younger, I just said random, stupid lyrics and censored myself because I was worried about what people would think. But now I’ve become more mature with my words and uncensored.
Even now, I still get a bit apprehensive before a game because I am worried about whether I have done enough preparation or if something is going to catch me out. But the fear factor has gone – as it should have done by now, really, after nearly 50 years.
I really wish I worried less.
People are sad. People are broke. People are worried about money, people are worried that they’re not enough and not amounting to anything and they don’t feel good about themselves. People have rough times, and everybody’s pretending it’s not true, and we need to break that veneer.
Being a traditionalist, I’m a rabid sucker for Christmas. In July, I’m already worried that there are only 146 shopping days left.

NATO’s deterrence has always been adequate, and I’m not worried about the physical security of my country. Not at all.
Lots of young players have triumphed at United, so why can’t it happen to me? I’m not worried I’m young – it’s an incentive to do the best I can.
I started my own business because my parents had no dowry for me, and I was worried. I ran it from their Martha Vineyard’s summer house. I baby-sat for a 14-year-old boy all summer and was giving him time-outs, even though I was two years younger than him.
I wasn’t worried about unemployment.
The funny thing, I guess, is that my husband ended up being the muse of a book about the worst marriage in the world, because if he hadn’t consistently said, ‘Don’t censor yourself, don’t worry about me’ – if he’d been anxious and worried about it – then it would never have gotten written.
People always thought I’d never get elected outside San Francisco; I was always more worried that I’d never get elected again inside San Francisco.
We’ve got to protect the nursery schools. I’m chair of governors in a nursery school in my area. If we lost the provision, I’d be worried about the socialising skills of children.
When Ralph Lauren creates a collection of clothes, he’s not really worried about a single tie or a single shirt or a single belt… he’s creating a movie, and the characters that he casts in his advertisements or the people that work in the stores are the actors in his life.
I’m worried because of my mother, she’s going to see my performance and she’s quite hard. She’s going to see me naked. And my Dad, woah. Yeah, they’re going to see me like a woman, you know?
The only place that I’d be worried about being typecast is the independent film world.
I think when you’re stressing, or worried about your performance, worrying about this and worrying about that, that’s when things start to get tough and you’re not enjoying it anymore and it becomes a job. Although it is our job to play, still you have to understand that it’s a game and you have to enjoy it.
As an actor, you wouldn’t be able to play a character if you were worried about the reaction to what you’re doing.

Today is the tomorrow I worried about yesterday.
I’ve never worried about anything in my life a fraction of the way I worry about my daughter. It’s much more than hoping people like the play you’re in, or that your outfit doesn’t look bad. It’s the real deal.
It worried me when Britney snogged Madonna. It looked a bit fake. It screamed ‘We’re in this for the money.
My dad makes me breakfast every morning; he’s very worried about my nutrition.
I think that for the actors, the last thing that they want is a director that’s not watching, a director that goes ‘Okay, it sounded good to me,’ and they were doing something else or preoccupied with something else because they were worried about the light changing.
When I get in there, I’m not really worried about scoring. I’m just worried about playing as hard defense as I can play, making my opponent work, and then I know the offensive end will open up for me. I’ve been a scorer all my life, so that’s what I try to pride myself on. It feels good.
I was not really worried about what people thought of me or how offensive my jokes were. I was just kind of saying whatever I wanted, and that gave me the reputation of being this crazy, loose cannon, you know, psycho guy. It still kind haunts me to this day. Like, ‘Oh, Shane Dawson – that guy’s nuts.’
Many of my books come from what if questions that I can’t answer, things that I’m worried about as either a woman, a wife, a mom, an American.
I have never worried if my daughter has fallen sick, and I am somewhere else, because there is always somebody to take care of her.
I own my own company, so I’ve never had businessmen telling me what to do or getting worried if something doesn’t sell. I’ve always had my own access to the public, because I started off making my clothes for a little shop and so I’ve always had people buying them.
