175
The annals of business are filled with stories of companies that thought they had it made and could milk their enterprises without having to bother about improving their products or services. It’s amazing how fast they found their markets disappearing.
176
I don’t try to communicate with my ‘audience’. I don’t bother with that any more. I used to try to have conversations with people, but it’s futile.
177

181

184
The usual approach of science of constructing a mathematical model cannot answer the questions of why there should be a universe for the model to describe. Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing?
185
I am so tired of ruggedly handsome heroes. I don’t know too many ruggedly handsome people who are necessarily nice people. In fact, the beautiful people have a big handicap because they rely too much on their appearance and don’t bother to become interesting.
Barbara Mertz
186
Petty things don’t bother me as much as they used to.
Rebecca Lobo
187
A movie star is someone people look at and go, ‘I want to be like that person’. There’s the responsibility of desire. It’s not something I’m interested in trying. I would fail miserably at it, so why even bother?
188
People can call me what they like – fat, ugly, sour – but tell me I’m not fair, tell me I’m not ethical, those are the things that bother me.

190

191
People tell me all the time that I look forbidding or aloof. That doesn’t bother me much – I am fairly private, withdrawn, and… distant, I guess. But, um, I think that’s okay.

It doesn’t bother me to have people looking up to me, because I don’t think I say anything too crazy or over the top where people can’t look at me as a role model.

194

195

196
It’s like Richard Petty always said, ‘Racing isn’t the job. That’s where we get away from our job.’ That’s where we go out and have fun and get away from the madness. No one can bother you in there. There’s no phones, no interviews – it’s just you, driving.
197
I’m not going to change my style of play because it might bother some people. That is just the way we Brazilians are.

199
The fact is I’m always going to have naysayers. You’re always going to have haters. It really doesn’t bother me because I just rise above it.
200
I don’t think that one thing defines me, but I know that by coming out the way that I did, sort of almost pioneering it in action sports – to take that stand – that it’s always going to be a label that is stuck with me, and I know that I’ll always be the ‘gay skier,’ and it actually doesn’t bother me.
201
Does it bother me that I’m attached to ‘Three’s Company’ 30 years after? Not at all. All we were trying to do was be funny. How can I complain? That’s all I wanted to do.
Joyce DeWitt
202
I don’t mind being the butt of the joke… It doesn’t really bother me. I quite enjoy it.
203
I can’t play anywhere near like I used to, and I was a hot drummer. It doesn’t bother me, because frankly, if you get to that point where you can’t hold a drumstick properly, there are many other things in life which are far more important, like cutting a loaf of bread or a piece of cheese.
204
I don’t like sequels at all. If the movie’s good the first time, why bother?
Michael Lehmann
205

206
I’ve been around long enough to know that a good deal of the praise heaped on me I had nothing to do with. The only thing I did object to was the fact that where the criticism was actually wrong. Did it bother me? Of course it bothered me. But I’ve been around long enough to have ups and downs. So you get over it.
207
I don’t plan my life or analyse things. Nothing can be predicted about the future, no one can put a finger on what’s going to be the next big thing. Why bother?
208

209
If you Google me, you’ll find plenty of ‘dumb blonde’ references – even though I graduated with honors from Stanford and studied at Oxford University. I don’t let it bother me.

214

216
I can play with pain. It doesn’t bother me.
217

I can judge a restaurant by its bread: it winds me up that a lot of places buy pre-packed ones in and don’t bother putting them in the oven to crisp them up again. And you shouldn’t put bread on a side-plate: it needs to be pushed back into the centre of the table.
219
Being the hero doesn’t bother me, but being part of a successful team does bother me.

Andy Van Slyke
231

232
I’m a designer, but I rely on programmers to bring my ideas to life. By learning to code myself, I think I can make things easier for all of us. Similarly, I want to be able to build things on my own without having to bother a programmer.
233
I consider myself sexy. But the sexy image doesn’t bother me, and I don’t think it detracts from my singing.
Samantha Fox
234
The comedy on ‘2 Broke Girls’ always comes from a place of love – it’s never mean. We’re a comedy, and we often go right to the edge. It doesn’t bother me. I’ve encountered this all my life. I’ve been made fun of all my life.
Matthew Moy
235
I utterly reject the view that the Third World is doomed to poverty and starvation. Not only is this wrong, I think this attitude verges on the immoral, like thinking that slavery is an unalterable facet of the human condition so why bother doing anything about it?
236
Slowly but surely, as time goes on, people forget about you. People stop talking about you. You stop seeing your name in the papers. I like to believe that I don’t think that will bother me. As long as I know I’ve achieved my goals and people believe I’m the best at what I do, then I’ll be happy.
237
It does not bother me whether my work is reaching the audience through cinema, TV or a web series.

Alan Lewis
239

Lois Greenfield
240
My sister is a very peculiar lady. When we were young, I wasn’t allowed to talk to her friends. Now I’m not allowed to talk to her children, nor are they permitted to see me. This is the nature of the lady. Doesn’t bother me at all.
Joan Fontaine
241
It doesn’t bother me at all that some people think I am too outspoken.

244
I love growing older. Normally, I don’t bother with make-up. This face in the mirror is changing. I’ve got new lines from smiling at the sprog so much.

When I see something I like, that’s all that counts. What they use, how they get there, I never bother them.
246

Judith Light
247
In my case, I played sports my whole life. I got out of college, and I didn’t bother to get health care coverage because I just figured I didn’t need it. But you know that if you blow out your knee on a basketball court or you get in a car accident, and you’re uninsured, it can bankrupt you.
248

249

255
I have great Indian genes! You know, I’m lazy. I want to take advantage of the fact that I have a great metabolism. When I start getting fat, I’ll work on it! I like food, and I don’t like the gym, and as long as I look like this without doing anything, why bother?
256
Unscrupulous writers often count on the fact that most people don’t bother reading footnotes or tracking down citations.

259
There’s a view of Montana writing that seems stage-managed by the Chamber of Commerce – it’s all about writers like A. B. Guthrie and Ivan Doig. It used to bother me that nobody had a scene where somebody was delivering a pizza.
260
Testicular cancer occurs in young men, just the people who don’t bother much about their health.

262
I think I’m lucky, in a way, because with the criticism I get online, it’s mostly from really young girls that are fans of One Direction, and they’re kind of already known for being mean online. So the things that they insult me with are things that don’t really bother me.
263

Peta Wilson
265

266

People always say that you shouldn’t read reviews at all, or if you do then believe both the good and the bad ones. I just choose to believe the ones that think I’m brilliant. The ones that don’t, well, I just don’t bother with them.
270
One of the things we joke about in the FPS development is it’s so hard to get the player to actually bother to look at all the cool stuff you’ve been doing. You spend a lot of time making really cool things, and usually the player isn’t looking where you want them to.
271
People and what they say don’t bother me like they used to. When I was younger, I really couldn’t take it because I couldn’t understand where the criticism was coming from.
272
At yoga you get some sense of spiritual space so that people don’t intrude. You can go there and close your eyes and no one will talk to you. People are too worried about not fainting to bother with some bloke who was on the telly.
273
I choose my work based on what is offered to me. If I see if my role can change the way the show will shape up, I come on board. If me being there in a show will make no difference, then I won’t bother being part of it. I am inclined to do things that I haven‘t done before.
274
A few girls would be catty and say that my voice sounded really high, and I sang like a chipmunk, I got a few prank calls about that a few times. But it didn’t really bother me that much. I think I was so focused on music that nothing could break me or get in my way.
275
Well, when you get into the business, what you have to realize is that signing autographs and getting ‘bothered’ is just part of the deal. It’s not a bother to me at all. That’s part of being an actor and that’s something you have to realize before you ever get into this business.

281
People have the right to call themselves whatever they like. That doesn’t bother me. It’s other people doing the calling that bothers me.

283
I refuse some movies. I cannot always give reasons why I refuse. Sometimes, I refuse just because I feel like refusing! I always look at my role, and never bother about who the hero will be when choosing a movie.
284
Lipstick is iconic. It’s the one product that marks out an era, and a certain lip colour can define a season. It makes me feel more ‘done’. I wear a beige lip in the day, but red when I’m going somewhere – it makes that transition from day to night. I just slick it on; I don’t bother with lipliner.
285
I don’t bother about how people feel about me. What matters to me is how I feel about them.

B. C. Forbes

290

291
Growing older doesn’t bother me.
292
When you are the champion, you are there to be shot at. It doesn’t bother me what people say.

Peter Buck
296
If you told me tomorrow that I couldn’t act anymore, it wouldn’t bother me. I have only one wish: to meet the man of my life.
297
I’ve pretty much given up on the orange. I really have. I just don’t even bother. It’s just either sour, or woody, or the skin’s too thick. It’s very nice when you come across the perfect orange, because it’s really a beautiful experience. But the stakes are too high.
298
The family’s first, and the career is second. I could get fired from a show. As long as everything’s okay with my family, it really would not bother me.
299

300
The thing about members of your family is that if you met them for the first time at a party, you might not bother to take their phone number, and yet something binds you.

My respect for TSA agents went up a notch. We look at ’em like, ‘You can’t bother me, I’m gettin’ on my flight. Stop wastin’ my time.’ They’re doing it to protect us. Their job is to do everything they’re doing. We sometimes don’t respect other people’s jobs because we’re caught up in our world.
303
When I turned 60, it didn’t bother me at all.
304
If I never fought for the belt, it wouldn’t bother me. That whole song and dance gets tiring, and it’s a lot of playing favorites. I’ve just had it dangled in front of me so many times, I’m just like, whatever, man.
305
I wouldn’t bother to describe me. I’m Eartha Kitt.

310
I’d be lying to say I’ve not experienced a lot of racism in my life; it’s very much alive. I don’t let it bother me. I couldn’t be the singer I am if I didn’t let it go.
311
The Spanish Civil War, Britain was not involved in it. Going back a bit, there was the naval blockade to stop the slave trade in the 19th century; that was morally just. Shame they didn’t bother to abolish slavery at the same time.
312
I’m in the strange position of the world drifting away from me, but you know what? I’m actually quite content with that. It doesn’t bother me in the slightest. I don’t feel like, ‘Oh God, I’m being left behind.’
313

315
The independence of all political and other bother is a happiness.
316

I think at a club like Liverpool you always feel a bit of pressure. You should. But it doesn’t bother me.

Robert Staughton Lynd
324
When ‘Game Of Thrones‘ came out, lots of interviews were coming in, and people asking me to do certain things which would push me out there. Like this whole Instagram and Twitter thing – getting more followers doesn’t bother me at all.
Bella Ramsey
325
My wife knows that interacting with actresses is all part of the job, but there is a line which I’m not supposed to cross, and as long as I don’t cross it, there are no problems. She doesn’t bother with whatever I do onscreen. But the line is always there!

329
While I think love is a beautiful emotion, I can’t make simple love stories any more. In the time that I have, I would like to make films about things that move and bother me.
330

332
Ive got four vertebrae that are fusing and compressing together so I am getting smaller. It doesnt bother me. Its just what it is.
333
I think I had a lot to do with why there’s even a thing such as 205 Live. In the past, when they started that, they didn’t even acknowledge me. I’ve gotta lie to tell you that that didn’t bother me.
334
In many parts of the country, like South India, people don’t bother much about the nationalist passions that BJP was attempting to rouse for electoral benefits.

336
Homophobia is manufactured in high schools, so it’s probably useful to keep in mind that it really does bother people.
Zak Orth
337
Still and all, why bother? Here’s my answer. Many people need desperately to receive this message: I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people do not care about them. You are not alone.
338
I am constantly swimming on the margin, neither 100% American, French, nor Lebanese. I am none of those. I am the result of those three. Sometimes it’s an asset: no one can put you in a category. That I do not make typical Lebanese, European or American films does not bother me.

It doesn’t bother me that people compare me as a little sister or youngest daughter of my dad, but when my album does come out, I want to be thought of as Noah Cyrus.
343
I don’t mind people looking at me. That’s never bothered me. I don’t want them looking at me in my house; now that would bother me.
344
I don’t know if it’s just me getting older, but things that used to bother me, or that I used to take personally, or maybe since going through a public divorce. I just like, really, it takes a lot to bother me nowadays.

I don’t know how any film can bother you. It doesn’t have to do with multi-starrer films. If you are insecure, you can feel insecure being the only girl also.

My personal opinion is that an actor shouldn’t bother himself about expanding his market. He or she should just do good films.

The important thing is I’ve always been a responsible person. As a woman, too, you have to be a lot stronger. Things are always happening that if you let it bother you, you’ll be mad all the time.

I had no desire to be an film actress, to always play somebody else, to be always beautiful with somebody constantly straightening out your every eyelash. It was always a big bother to me.

I have a lot of friends who say that one of the freedoms of being older is you don’t care what other people think, which I don’t think is right. You care what other people think, but if you’re comfortable in your own skin, that doesn’t bother you.

I was lousy in school. Real screwed-up. A moron. I was antisocial and didn’t bother with the other kids. A really bad student. I didn’t have any brains. I didn’t know what I was doing there. That’s why I became an actor.

When I really want to be soothed and reminded of why people bother to fiddle with sentences, I often read poetry.
