279
280
Life just doesn’t care about our aspirations, or sadness. It’s often random, and it’s often stupid and it’s often completely unexpected, and the closures and the epiphanies and revelations we end up receiving from life, begrudgingly, rarely turn out to be the ones we thought.

Making jokes is about the most wrong and stupid thing a bemused, middle-aged, white heterosexual Anglo Saxon sort of Celt Australian male can do these days.
334
When I was a kid, I wanted to be serious, like Daniel Day-Lewis. No one really dreams of being a comic actor, do they? Now I realise how stupid that is – and it’s because comic acting isn’t taken seriously enough. It’s a discipline. You know instantly – either you’re funny and getting the laughs, or you’re not.
335
336
Why does everyone have to pretend to be stupid and not know long words?
337
I would let my kids watch this stuff way before I’d let them watch something like ‘Full House’ that I think would make them stupid.
338
339
Be talented enough to make it and stupid enough to keep trying.
340
341
I wake up every morning, look in the mirror and ask, ‘Am I a sex symbol?’ Then I go back to bed again. It’s stupid to think that way.
342
343
344
How is it that little children are so intelligent and men so stupid? It must be education that does it.
345
Men know everything – all of them – all the time – no matter how stupid or inexperienced or arrogant or ignorant they are.
346
The hardest thing in the world, I now know, is to hold in your head that it is okay to think that you are right, but not to think so necessarily because everyone who disagrees with you is wrong or stupid or duped or bad.
347
When I look back I can’t believe I was so stupid as to direct Dealer‘s Choice.
348
I did my fair share of stupid stuff in high school, like anyone. I had a healthy fear of my parents, and I certainly never wanted to disappoint them. That would be the worst thing I could ever do.
349
My thing was play as hard as you can, don’t be stupid, pay attention to details, and have enough guts in the clutch that you’re not afraid to make a play. Some things I thought were important for a young man to know.
350
351
352
I failed first grade, which is my biggest problem. You always feel like a failure, like you’re stupid.
353
I’m not a comic person at all. It never reached me in the north of Ireland, in the ’60s and ’70s growing up. We used to get stupid comics like ‘The Topper’ and ‘The Beezer,’ things like that.
354
I just want people to see that I do my own stuff, that I’m not stupid, and I can make fun of myself.
355
Sitting here now today, I can forgive a lot of the English people because it only takes a hand full of bad people to do something stupid like that and it can make the whole country look bad.
356
Of course I have regrets; I’m not stupid.
357
I think the shocking thing to discover is the owls are not stupid and very feral, very hard to train.
358
Ever since the economic crisis in 2008, millions of people have accepted cuts in all sorts of things – from real wages and living standards to benefits and hospital care – without any real opposition. The cuts may be right, or they may be stupid – but the astonishing thing is how no-one really challenges them.
359
All I can do is put out the good stuff, and people will make the decision on whether they like it. My fans are very intelligent people. They’re not stupid. They know what’s good.
360
If I’ve learned anything in this business, how stupid would it be not to do ‘It’s My Party’ when people come to hear it?
361
I’ve made some stupid decisions, so I have to be careful. I once said ‘no’ to a film that was a number-one hit. And ‘Date Movie’ had the smallest budget of any movie I’d been in, and it went to the top of the box office.
362
I’m young but I’m not stupid.
363
George Bush is not stupid. He’s evil. OK? There’s a huge difference between stupid and evil.
364
You say something stupid and the next morning you’re in the headlines.
365
366
367
368
There’s more to life than being an actor in a Hollywood movie. I’m not going to adapt my life after that existence, where a lot of people do. And they get the publicist, and they get all that stuff, and it becomes them. I think it’s a stupid way to live your life. A really dumb way to live your life.
369
I punish myself more than anybody else does if I am stupid about my actions, and I suffer, really suffer.
370
371
I had rather be an oyster than a man, the most stupid and senseless of animals.
372
I am not stupid. I am a very bright guy. I know that in the fighting game, you get people who get brain damage and do themselves long-term harm.
373
Some people think having large breasts makes a woman stupid. Actually, it’s quite the opposite: a woman having large breasts makes men stupid.
374
I’ve always chosen my band members based on their sense of humor. It might sound stupid, but it means not only are they fun to live with on a tour bus for years, but humor implies intelligence.
375
376
377
378
379
380
The thing that bums me out about ‘The Real World‘ is I don’t want to believe that teenagers are that stupid.
381
You have to protect it too, you can’t let just any stupid person take it and do something demoralizing with it. At the same time, I don’t believe in being so rigid about controlling what happens either.
382
Crime is stupid, lazy and weak. You can only exploit it and make money out of it.
383
There are only two races on this planet – the intelligent and the stupid.
384
I’ve said this before, and I’m sure there are people who disagree, but I feel like one of the reasons there aren’t a lot more women in stand-up – and there are many more now; it’s not parity, but it’s getting there – is that women are not socialized to look stupid or silly. They’re socialized to be pretty and precious.
385
The great and almost only comfort about being a woman is that one can always pretend to be more stupid than one is and no one is surprised.
386
I did all the stupid things you’d expect from a 21-year-old kid with money.
387
I remember, when I was a young guy in the SEAL teams, I was very afraid of making mistakes and looking stupid or doing dumb things and getting a bad reputation.
388
389
390
Great nations need organizing principles, and ‘Don’t do stupid stuff’ is not an organizing principle.
391
392
393
People are not stupid.
394
If you do not have an absolutely clear vision of something, where you can follow the light to the end of the tunnel, then it doesn’t matter whether you’re bold or cowardly, or whether you’re stupid or intelligent. Doesn’t get you anywhere.
395
People aren’t as stupid as the politicians think. More and more of us are laughing off our ‘civic duty’ to vote, rejecting the role of compulsory constituent.
396
397
America is a nation with many flaws that only the stupid would deny, but with hopes so vast that only the cowardly would refuse to acknowledge them.
398
People think I am America’s party girl, which is just stupid. I have done 24 movies and I am creating my own TV show.
399
You got to be just stupid to not be focused on alternative energy.
400
We intellectuals are not stupid: we know the phenomenology of guilt is a bad photocopy of the phenomenology of thought, so it’s much cheaper to press that button.
401
402
403
I’m stupid, I’m ugly, I’m dumb, I smell. Did I mention I’m stupid?
404
I’m very free-spirited and crazy. I love to have fun, and I like doing stupid things. At the same time, I’m like a 35-year-old. I have a house. I have a car. I have a steady job. I have a business, and I have to make serious decisions.
405
I’m not sure if you can blame everything on the American way of life, but the United States are big. So, if you have a lot of people there, the percentage of stupid people is bound to be higher.
406
It never felt real to me. I never felt I had complete ownership over Bond. Because you’d have these stupid one-liners – which I loathed – and I always felt phony doing them.
407
408
You even called me stupid in your verse, and I’m almost agreeing, for where stupidity is involved, you are quite an expert, friend.
409
I think every American actor wants to be a movie star. But I never wanted to do stupid movies, I wanted to do films.
410
I’m always surprised when the corporate world does stupid things, because they’re often not very stupid in hindsight.
411
412
413
Most songwriters who have been lucky enough to have their song on the radio or be heard widely don’t know anything about science. The best songs have a strong dose of metaphor. Most songs about science don’t have that. Like ‘She Blinded Me With Science.’ It’s a stupid song, no offense to Thomas Dolby.
414
Even before I went to the UN, I often would want to say something in a meeting – only woman at the table – and I’d think, ‘OK well, I don’t think I’ll say that. It may sound stupid.’ And then some man says it, and everybody thinks it’s completely brilliant, and you are so mad at yourself for not saying something.
415
Give me a smart idiot over a stupid genius any day.
416
This is a Disaster. This isn’t something somebody can control. We ain’t stuck on stupid.
417
I think even the most beautiful person looks stupid on Skype.
418
I don’t like Bush. I don’t trust him. I don’t like his record. He’s stupid. He’s lazy.
419
Life is tough, but it’s tougher if you’re stupid.
420
I think it’s particularly stupid that filmmakers have traditionally said, ‘Yeah, I like baseball, but the movie’s not going to be about the intricacies of the game.’ I mean, you wouldn’t cast an overweight guy with stubble if you were doing a ballet film.
421
422
How can smart women be so stupid about men sometimes? Lack of knowledge. It’s what men have kept secret for so long.
423
That title, is one of the things I fought for. A lot of people said ‘But it’s stupid, and it’s the title of a comedy movie, and people won’t take it seriously,’ and I’m sure there are some people who still don’t. But for the most part, people do see that we really have a quality show.
424
If journalists ask you again and again about the same bands, you’ll end up saying you hate them just because you’re so fed up with being asked all those stupid questions.
425
I’ll call somebody ‘dumb’ or ‘stupid’ if they make a dumb or stupid play. I don’t know any other word for it, and if they don’t like the word, that’s too bad.
426
Of course, the overwhelming majority of Muslims are not terrorists or sympathetic to terrorists. Equating all Muslims with terrorism is stupid and wrong. But acknowledging that there is a link between Islam and terror is appropriate and necessary.
427
As human beings, we are the only organisms that create for the sheer stupid pleasure of doing so. Whether it’s laying out a garden, composing a new tune on the piano, writing a bit of poetry, manipulating a digital photo, redecorating a room, or inventing a new chili recipe – we are happiest when we are creating.
428
429
Fashion as King is sometimes a very stupid ruler.
430
I may be dumb, but I’m not stupid.
431
There’s so much talk about the drug generation and songs about drugs. That’s stupid. They aren’t songs about drugs; they’re about life.
432
I feel I should be doing stupid stuff, but I’m not going to.
433
434
Whenever man begins to doubt himself, he does something so stupid that he is reassured.
435
436
437
438
One wants to think that – and this is really a stupid thought – that through your art or whatever you do as an actor you can actually affect someone else’s lives and thoughts or whatever.
439
440
There’s no amount of money that makes you feel better when people think of you as a joke or a hack or a failure or ugly or stupid or morally empty.
441
I drew the last image ever of Opus at midnight while Puccini was playing and I got rather stupid. Thirty years. A bit like saying goodbye to a child – which is ironic because I was never, never sentimental about him as many of his fans were.
442
The stupid believe that to be truthful is easy; only the artist, the great artist, knows how difficult it is.
443
One person is never as stupid as a group of people. That’s why they have lynch mobs, not lynch individuals.
444
There’s no doubt in my mind that people on the West Coast – L.A. particularly – and the East Coast have no clue at all about what’s happening outside their own little bailiwick. And they think everybody is stupid because they are not sophisticated.
445
446
447
448
449
Nobody else is stupid enough to get themselves into the straits that I get into.
450
A word to the wise ain’t necessary – it’s the stupid ones that need the advice.
451
Dire Straits is a great band. Someone tells you they like ‘Brothers in Arms’ and immediately you know they’re a stupid annoying git.
452
I became famous so quickly and so young – it was daunting. I was immature and I used to say some really stupid things in interviews. I never smiled on stage so I looked really serious, but it was because I hated my teeth and was incredibly nervous.
453
Of course, everybody makes mistakes, and we’ve all been young and stupid. But people need to have a sense of respect, particularly in this business, because hundreds of people are ready to take your place at any time. Maybe some people should think about that.
454
When you’ve done good work, you can’t come back with something stupid.
455
I went through a political shift when I was nineteen or twenty. I felt a certain way, and after the shift, I felt the opposite way. And never once did someone yelling at me or making me feel stupid do anything other than reinforce the convictions I had. What did get to me was people listening to me.
456
I’m a lager drinker. I’m quite a stupid lager drinker. I do like my lager and mashed potatoes.
457
With every animal, you have to build its confidence around people because people do some crazy and stupid things.
458
People expect me to be stupid. I’m not saying I’m Stephen Fry, but it is amazing the perception people have.
459
460
461
If this TV success had come in my twenties and I’d become a heart-throb, I would have been very stupid. I would have got into a lot of situations that I really wished I hadn’t.
462
Students never think it can be the teacher’s fault and so I thought I was stupid. I was frustrated and would come home and cry because I couldn’t do it. Then we got a new teacher who made math accessible. That made all the difference and I learned that it’s how you present it that makes it scary or friendly.
463
I’d be stupid not to take into consideration that there are certain things people will not consider me for because my name is Lopez. And I know I can do any kind of role. I don’t want anybody to say, Oh, she can’t pull this off. So those are barriers that you have to overcome.
464
It was a bit of a surprise when I became a Tory MP. My friends said it was a stupid idea.
465
466
The government does things like insisting that all encryption programs should have a back door. But surely no one is stupid enough to think the terrorists are going to use encryption systems with a back door. The terrorists will simply hire a programmer to come up with a secure encryption scheme.
467
‘The Sopranos‘ is filled with really retrograde humor. Bathroom humor, falls, stupid puns, bad jokes – infantile, adolescent stuff, but it makes me laugh.
468
Don’t let anyone tell you your ideas are stupid or the thing you feel most passionate about ‘won’t work’ – it’s happened to me time and time again, and we find that if you push at what you think is interesting hard enough, you’re probably right.
469
As a kid, I thought of myself as stupid because I needed remedial help. It was not until much later that I figured out that I was dyslexic and that my trouble with spelling and sounding out words did not mean I was stupid, but early impressions stuck with me and colored my world for a time.
470
One always has the idea of a stupid man as perfectly healthy and ordinary, and of illness as making one refined and clever and unusual.
471
PowerPoint makes us stupid.
472
Stupid people do make me lose my temper and most people are stupid, fortunately for me. It’s made it easier for me to make a living.
473
You really can’t explain how you do the things you do. I can’t, anyway. I love certain actors, but sometimes they say the stupidest things about technique. I don’t want to say something stupid.
474
I reckon I probably worked for Euripides a long time ago. I do think we have many Earth walks and it’s possible that he’s an old friend. Does that sound too stupid for words? Quite frankly I think I’ve been an actor in so many lifetimes.
475
For the first time, the weird and the stupid and the coarse are becoming our cultural norms, even our cultural ideal.
476
477
478
479
When a big company lays you off, they often give you a year’s salary to ‘go pursue a dream.’ If you’re stupid, you panic and get another job. If you’re smart, you take the money and use the time to figure out what you want to do next.
480
481
For me, I went to NYU, and at that point, it was 1995, and everyone wanted to be Tarantino. I was writing these stupid comedies, and I felt lost.
482
I mean people just have a way of – y’know they’ll review your record in two sentences and put you in this little stupid box that you don’t want to be in.
483
484
General reader feedback is usually pretty worthless. 99% of people give feedback that is irrelevant, stupid, or just flat out wrong. But that 1% of people who give good feedback are invaluable.
485
I don’t really mind not being a part of a film – because if there is no part for me, I will never force myself upon a film. I feel like it’s just a distraction. If it is not organically incorporated into the story, it just feels like a stupid appearance, like a sort of wink. I hate that.
486
I believe the perfect life is the right combination between great things, great success and stupid mistakes or failures.
487
I was perhaps the worst student you have ever seen. You know, I thought I was stupid, all my classmates thought I was stupid, so there was general agreement.
488
When a thing is said to be not worth refuting you may be sure that either it is flagrantly stupid – in which case all comment is superfluous – or it is something formidable, the very crux of the problem.
489
Education makes us more stupid than the brutes. A thousand voices call to us on every hand, but our ears are stopped with wisdom.
490
A stupid person is someone who has the facts, who has the proper information, and still makes the wrong decision.
491
492
Keep it simple, stupid. Good game design shouldn’t keep you looking at the manual but should have enough depth where you feel like you bring something new to the game every time you play.
493
I enjoy singing my songs in front of people. I enjoy being involved in making the artwork for albums and stupid stuff like that.
494
I’m the one guy who says don’t force the stupid people to be quiet. I want to know who the morons are.
495
All of the characters in my films, they share one commonality. It doesn’t matter whether they are good or bad, it doesn’t matter whether they are smart or stupid, these characters all take responsibility for their own behavior. I’m much the same.
496
497
A lot of comedies are based on the reaction shot. You have one person doing something stupid and one person is generally the straight man, and the laughs generally come on the reaction of the straight man to the funny thing the other person has done.
498
You’ll go out of business if you think people are stupid.
499
I had no confidence at school. I was not a good student and I really thought I was pretty stupid. Just dumb.
500
501
When a book comes out I wonder if one person will buy it. It’s agony. Of course it’s stupid, but it’s agony.
502
I don’t mind you thinking I’m stupid, but don’t talk to me like I’m stupid.
503
Don’t let people treat you like you’re stupid. If it sounds too good to be true, it is.
504
505
It’s beyond belief that any Australian could be so stupid as to carry drugs into any country in Asia.
506
I wouldn’t say I’m a feminist, but I don’t like girls pretending to be stupid because it’s easier.
507
If I have a stupid day, everything looks wrong to me.
508
If you think something’s stupid, it probably is.
509
510
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.
511
512
One of the reasons why my album is called ‘Forget the World’ is because when you listen to the world, you make stupid mistakes.
513
Sin is too stupid to see beyond itself.
514
515
And maybe I’m a little smarter now than I was before for all the stupid things I’ve done.
516
I think I am smart unless I am really, really in love, and then I am ridiculously stupid.
517
I’ve got Asperger’s syndrome and I’m not a very good people person, so I’ve always been more comfortable around machinery. Not in a weird way – I don’t want to marry my car or anything stupid like that!
518
519
520
Politics goes in one ear and out the other. I don’t even know the president’s name for sure. That’s how stupid I am.
521
‘Romance’ is based on my entire creative process. I fall in love with an idea, obsess over it, isolate myself with it, and when I eventually introduce it to my friends, they all tell me that it’s stupid.
522
I feel as if my mission is to write, to see, to observe, and I feel lazy if I’m not reaching conclusions. I feel stupid. I feel as if I’m wasting my time.
523
I’m not going to put my energy into dunking every time I get the ball. That’s stupid.
524
I have done a lot of stupid things in my life.
525
526
527
The Jews have never been ashamed of being Jews, whereas homosexuals have been stupid enough to be ashamed of their homosexuality.
528
529
530
I’m only a stupid filmmaker.
531
If we didn’t have the Albanian entrepreneurial spirit and financial support from the diaspora, this stupid political class would have destroyed the country by now.
532
When you are intelligent and beautiful you face a lot of problems. If you are beautiful and stupid then it’s easy.
533
534
The war on drugs is wrong, both tactically and morally. It assumes that people are too stupid, too reckless, and too irresponsible to decide whether and under what conditions to consume drugs. The war on drugs is morally bankrupt.
535
I can be stupid in my lyrics or say whatever I want without having to worry about anybody else’s feeling or anybody being embarrassed by it or anything like that.
536
537
It’s so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and say the opposite.
538
539
540
Even actresses that you really admire, like Reese Witherspoon, you think, ‘Another romantic comedy?’ You see her in something like ‘Walk the Line’ and think, ‘God, you’re so great!’ And then you think, ‘Why is she doing these stupid romantic comedies?’ But of course, it’s for money and status.
541
I can’t do with mountains at close quarters – they are always in the way, and they are so stupid, never moving and never doing anything but obtrude themselves.
542
I enjoy popularisation and I think I’m reasonably good at it. I also think it’s a duty. It’s just so pedagogically stupid to forget how difficult one found these ideas oneself to begin with.
543
People think I don’t like interviews but I don’t mind speaking about proper and interesting stuff. When it’s stupid stuff to build your image and you are told to mention this and mention that, I hate it.
544
545
The British bombing of Caen beginning on D-Day in particular was stupid, counter-productive and above all very close to a war crime.
546
The world believes all blondes are stupid and brunettes are smarter. Well, I disagree.
547
548
549
550
551
I never thought to ever ask for money. I was so stupid.
552
I had a place in England and was commuting from England to Australia, which is pretty stupid, but after two years I sort of knew what I wanted to do, more or less.
553
We’re going to look awfully stupid if we give income tax relief to people who do not pay income taxes.
554
Getting a new passport took me a stupid amount of time. I had to go back five times with different photographs because they kept saying I was smiling, which is against the rules. I was not smiling.
555
The reality of climate change is a stupid thing to argue about.
556
I don’t have a favorite author; I have favorite books. ‘Moby Dick‘ is a favorite book, but Melville was a drunk who beat his wife. ‘Moveable Feast‘ by Hemingway, but I would not like him personally. He was a stupid macho person who believed in shooting animals for fun, but that book was incredible!
557
The second you think that all your good fortune is a product of your virtue, you become highly judgmental, lacking empathy, totally without self-awareness, arrogant, stupid – I mean, all the stuff that our ruling class is.
558
The show doesn’t drive home a lesson, but it can open up people’s minds enough for them to see how stupid every kind of prejudice can be.
559
I.Q. deficiency. There are some people who are an order of fries short of a Happy Meal, and what is often a characteristic about every one of these people is that they don’t know it. They have no idea how incompetent or stupid they are. It’s the exact opposite. They have the loftiest, highest self-image.
560
Any girl can be glamorous. All you have to do is stand still and look stupid.
561
I was smart, to tell you the truth. I’m not really bright, but I’m not stupid.
562
563
I grew up loving films and making stupid movies with a good friend of mine, who now actually has a career in a really prominent special effects house, so he’s still doing it. We just started messing around with a camera.
564
I want to figure out a way to not be stupid with money, then make a whole bunch of it, then I want to move to Outer Mongolia. I want to milk a yak. Maybe I’ll just settle for a cow.
565
I wanted to become a champ – I was surrounded by champs in my family and in my neighborhood – and because of this stupid accident, I lost my opportunity.
566
We are now living through peak stupid with the left, and this ‘toxic masculinity,’ ‘white patriarch’ nonsense, where they’ve now devolved to judging people exclusively by their gender and their skin color is a marker of the total intellectual collapse of the radical left.
567
568
Racism is ignorant. And it’s stupid. And it’s old. And it’s played out. So beat it already with that, you know what I mean? ‘Let’s all get along’ – I’m so tired of that damn sentence, but it’s true.
569
I say the stupidest stuff, all the time, off of Twitter, and so I think Twitter is good way for people to get to know the stupid side of me.
570
It’s a bit embarrassing watching myself, but I couldn’t get someone else to play me, that would’ve been stupid.
571
572
I stand by the stuff I say, even the really stupid stuff. I’ll find a way to justify it.
573
Only stupid people are changed by success.
574
575
In ‘True Grit,’ we had a vulture, a trained vulture… that was a pain and that was – even by vulture standards – probably a stupid vulture, and that was frustrating.
576
I just had lunch with Slash two days ago. He loves Axl. He holds no grudges towards him. Twenty years of great music wasn’t created because of some stupid grudge. That’s a shame.
577
Again, if I was going to call Romney and the Republicans stupid, I’m certainly not going to call the Democrats and President Obama stupid.
578
When you are young, you do a lot of stupid things.
579
I did throw a lot of eggs into one basket, as you do in your teenage years – ‘I am buying these records, I am wearing this’. I did quite a bit of that. You have to do it, wear your stupid shoes, wear your stupid hair.
580
There’s no law against stupid – I learned that a long time ago.
581
582
I think it would be stupid for us to try and tell people who are dancing in a discotheque about the problems of the world. That is the very thing they have come away to avoid.
583
We have no words for speaking of wisdom to the stupid. He who understands the wise is wise already.

596

609

613
614

617

618
I’m not a very serious person. You know how they say that clowns are very funny in public and are really sad at home? I’m really kind of stupid at home and more serious in public.
619

627
I just think that people take me a little more seriously as a brunette. I don’t know if that’s just because of a societal preconceived notion that all blondes are stupid, but it’s a different kind of attitude.

637
638
639
I really would have been stupid not to have done it. It was also a film that was actually happening, I mean, Miramax was doing it, and it had a kind of legitimacy to it. And once I read the script, I was there.
640
I like to think of my behavior in the sixties as a ‘learning experience.’ Then again, I like to think of anything stupid I’ve done as a ‘learning experience.’ It makes me feel less stupid.

646
Comedy is only as stupid as you are smart.
647
One of the dreams of Zionism was to be a bridge. Instead, we are creating exclusion between the East and the West instead of creating bridges; we are contributing to the conflict between East and West by our stupid desire to have more.
648

671

678
Any reality-TV show on MTV is gonna be fake and stupid.
679

681
Some people think that there aren’t many Aboriginal actors around, and if there are, they’re not that good. It’s stupid. There’s such an incredible pool of talent out there, and they’re still coming out of drama schools. People just need to take a leap of faith.
682
683

697
We Americans love our Constitution so much that we can’t bear to change even the stupid parts.
698
The metaphor of the king as the shepherd of his people goes back to ancient Egypt. Perhaps the use of this particular convention is due to the fact that, being stupid, affectionate, gregarious, and easily stampeded, the societies formed by sheep are most like human ones.
699
It sounds stupid, but there’s nothing like walking down the street and seeing a building that’s older than 100 years old. I think London – not to sound pretentious – like New York, it’s a big melting pot for all things and it’s just got this energy that you can’t find anywhere else.
700
701

704
705
Never be afraid to ask when you don’t understand.

They didn’t ask ‘why?’ because they thought it would make them look stupid.
706
707
I think business has to be stupider. I want to do really straightforward, stupid business – just talk to me like a 4-year-old. And I refuse to negotiate. I do not negotiate. I can collaborate. But I’m an artist, so as soon as you negotiate, you’re being compromised.
708
After having done this whole slew of press for ‘Big Love’, now I’ll have anxiety dreams for like a week and a half about all the stupid things I said. I can’t even imagine being in front of the cameras all the time. I had a weird dream the other night that I was on ‘Jersey Shore.’
709
