352

TV does not care about you or what happens to you. It’s downright bad for your health now, and that’s not a far-out concept. I think watching the TV news is bad for you. It is bad for your physical health and your mental health.

But I think, if you’re in the spotlight, people are going to say bad things, and that’s just the way it is.

386
387
When people are in the thrall of poisonous ideology, it’s really not all about deliberate ill will, or inherent hatred, or a lack of intelligence.

420
421

422

435
I am attracted to bad people because they are very human.
436
437
As a kid, I watched ‘Bugs Bunny‘ cartoons, and for some reason Pepe Le Pew, the indomitable French skunk pursuing his would-be kitty paramour, left his mark on me: became an instant emblem of odoriferous hubris, hedonistic bad behavior. He was an entry-level Dominique Strauss-Kahn, a rookie Marquis de Sade.
438

455
456
Correcting bad habits cannot be done by forbidding or punishment.
457
It’s very true that you can be both selfless and selfish at the same time. What we tend towards, particularly in filmmaking, is this binary sort of, ‘This is a good guy, this is a bad guy.’ And I quite like the fact that life is a bit more complex than that.
458
459
460
461
Many a good hanging prevents a bad marriage.
462
463

464
You can have all the gun control laws in the country, but if you don’t enforce them, people are going to find a way to protect themselves. We need to recognize that bad people are doing bad things with these weapons. It’s not the law-abiding citizens, it’s not the person who uses it as a hobby.
465
Every bad joke, every endorsement deal, all of the things that a typical host would normally get creamed for, people don’t mind, because they know I don’t cheat when it comes to the work I actually try. I’m a lab rat. I’m a perpetual apprentice. The joke is on me if there is one.

I feel naked without jewelry. If I’m having a bad hair day, I pick something from my huge collection of hats.
474
475

486
The test of good manners is to be patient with the bad ones.
487
You stand with the least likely to succeed until success is succeeded by something more valuable: kinship.

488
489
Unless you have bad times, you can’t appreciate the good times.
490

492

493
Concrete is, essentially, the color of bad weather.
494
495

496
In reality the world is as full of bad mothers as it is of bad fathers, and it is not the motherless children who become delinquent but the fatherless ones.
497

498
499
So many people prefer to live in drama because it’s comfortable. It’s like someone staying in a bad marriage or relationship – it’s actually easier to stay because they know what to expect every day, versus leaving and not knowing what to expect.
500
Life’s too short to dwell on things. When you go through experiences that are bad, it’s a good thing. You learn from it – become a stronger person. Life is a roller coaster, and you don’t know what’s going to be thrown at you next, so all you can do is give it your best shot.
501
Professionalism is not sportsmanship. If you don’t succeed, you won’t be in your profession for long. In our society, it’s not about good or bad. It’s about who’s on top.
502
Where there is little or no public opinion, there is likely to be bad government, which sooner or later becomes autocratic government.
503

515
The difference between good and bad architecture is the time you spend on it.
516

517
Bad choices make good stories.
518

529
I feel like I’m a New Yorker because I really know the city. I actually tell the drivers where to go – I have this bad habit, I always question the drivers. I do that all the time because I feel like I know the best way, when really it’s like, ‘Yo, man, shut up. This dude does this every day of his life.’
530

534
I’m La Flame at all times. That, at times, can be bad, at times can be good.

536
537
A change in bad habits leads to a change in life.
538
When I design and wonder what the point is, I think of someone having a bad time in their life. Maybe they are sad and they wake up and put on something I have made and it makes them feel just a bit better. So, in that sense, fashion is a little help in the life of a person. But only a little.
539
It takes many good deeds to build a good reputation, and only one bad one to lose it.
540
541

544
It is easier to prevent bad habits than to break them.
545
You have so many games to play, and you can do well in one game but bad in the other ones. The thing you’ve got to be is consistent.

547
548
Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses.
549
550
As any doctor can tell you, the most crucial step toward healing is having the right diagnosis. If the disease is precisely identified, a good resolution is far more likely. Conversely, a bad diagnosis usually means a bad outcome, no matter how skilled the physician.
551
It’s bad poetry executed by people that can’t sing. That’s my definition of Rap.
552
I think the thing I miss most in our age is our manners. It sounds so old-fashioned in a way. But even bad people had good manners in the old days, and manners hold a community together, and manners hold a family together; in a way, they hold the world together.
553
554
555
Television, radio, social media. The 24/7 news cycle plows forward mercilessly on our desks, in our cars and in our pockets. Thousands and thousands of messages and voices bombard us from the moment we wake, fighting for our attention. All we see and hear, all day long, is news. And most of it is bad.
556
557
558
My dark secrets are life threatening. Pockets of unhappiness set in aspic that build and build. I have this primitive feeling that if something good happens, it is going to be followed by something bad. There is always a price to pay.
559

560
Bad taste creates many more millionaires than good taste.

563
564
Things are never so bad they can’t be made worse.

576
Sex is a bad thing because it rumples the clothes.

580
We have to acknowledge that adolescence is that time of transition where we begin to introduce to children that life isn’t pretty, that there are difficult things, there are hard situations, it’s not fair. Bad things happen to good people.
