I’ve worked very hard for everything I have and nothing has come easy.
I made ‘Bowling for Columbine’ in the hope the school shootings would stop and that we would address the issue of how easy it is to get a gun in the United States, and tragically, those school shootings continue.
I have a great wife and it’s very easy to be romantic because it makes her happy and then my life is so much better when she’s happy.
Presumption should never make us neglect that which appears easy to us, nor despair make us lose courage at the sight of difficulties.
Mind you, physical training doesn’t necessarily mean going to an expert for advice. One doesn’t have to make a mountain out of a molehill. Get out in the fresh air and walk briskly – and don’t forget to wear a smile while you’re at it. Don’t over-do. Take it easy at first and build on your effort day by day.
It’s not an easy journey, to get to a place where you forgive people. But it is such a powerful place, because it frees you.

Slumps are like a soft bed. They’re easy to get into and hard to get out of.
Boxing is real easy. Life is much harder.
It is not easy to see how the more extreme forms of nationalism can long survive when men have seen the Earth in its true perspective as a single small globe against the stars.
People in the film industry always want to save for a rainy day. Many early actors died in small houses with no money, and so they are insecure. My advantage is I don’t value money that much. It’s an easy thing for me to let go.
It is easy to predict that some of the discoveries of research directed towards Grand Challenges – but only the most unexpected ones, and at the most unexpected times – will be the basis of revolutionary improvements in the way that we exploit the power of our future computing devices.
All things are difficult before they are easy.
When I played Candy Darling in ‘I Shot Andy Warhol,’ that was easy to play that part. They made me into a woman: I’m in heels; I’m waxed. I’m gonna find the femininity and lay on the bed and take the voice of an old movie star.
People are often quite lazy. We like taking the easy way out – we like handing over responsibility, we like being offered shortcuts that mean we don’t have to think.
Gender is not an easy conversation to have. It makes people uncomfortable, sometimes even irritable. Both men and women are resistant to talk about gender or are quick to dismiss the problems of gender. Because thinking of changing the status quo is always uncomfortable.
So many people are insanely busy nowadays, and it’s easy to say, ‘Ah, I’ll workout tomorrow.’ But you have to set aside a time and stick to that schedule.
There are two ways of talking. One is the easy way, where you talk lightly, and the other one is the considered way. The considered way is what I have put my name to.

Flowers are an easy, eloquent expression of love at a time when words can seem clumsy and inadequate.
Not everybody’s journey is easy, and it wouldn’t be worthwhile if you can’t see what you gained without realizing what kind of battles you’ve been through, what kind of scars you have.
It is not easy for men to rise whose qualities are thwarted by poverty.
I became a loner. I became a mountain man. A lot of those things are very good qualities and they help you do your work, help you be singular and keep the artistic integrity of your work intact, but they don’t make it very easy to live your life.
Beauty is too easy. Often in my work, I take beautiful objects and do extreme things to them so that they are overlaid with something a bit more sinister and violent.
It’s easy to forget who you are.
Marriage ain’t easy, but it’s great most of the time.
Hey, I’m not rich, but I’m lucky. I get to do what I want to do. That’s not an easy thing to do in this country.
It is easy to criticize me from behind a pen or a microphone, from someone who never set foot on a football field.
Creativity is more than just being different. Anybody can plan weird; that’s easy. What’s hard is to be as simple as Bach. Making the simple, awesomely simple, that’s creativity.
I should not like to leave an impression that all structural problems can be settled by X-ray analysis or that all crystal structures are easy to solve. I seem to have spent much more of my life not solving structures than solving them.
I don’t like doing things that are too easy.
The childhood games ended for me when I was 14 and I finished school. I had to find a job, not an easy thing in those days.

It is far more difficult to be simple than to be complicated; far more difficult to sacrifice skill and easy execution in the proper place, than to expand both indiscriminately.
It’s easy to gain weight when you’re in the studio.
God is a God of the present. God is always in the moment, be that moment hard or easy, joyful and painful.
It isn’t easy to accept that suffering can also be beautiful… it’s difficult. It’s something you can only understand if you dig deeply into yourself.
In this world without quiet corners, there can be no easy escapes from history, from hullabaloo, from terrible, unquiet fuss.
My kids are the reason I continue to strive for something better. They know – as kids who are Muslim, Somali, black Americans – that they’ve always been part of a struggle and that change isn’t easy.
