381
382
383

385

417

451

479

514

567
Yeah, I guess generally I don’t want things ever to be easy. While there’s some danger of doing something that loses your personal stamp on things, I’d rather take the chance of doing that and do something slightly uncomfortable or hard for myself.
568
We have far more options for black Americans to tell stories outside of slavery, but whenever it comes to slavery, it’s an uncomfortable subject. Why? Because it’s the most unresolved subject in American history.
569
I don’t like being called a celebrity. So much so that I find it very uncomfortable looking at myself on the screen.

572

574
575
576
577

578
I knew what it was to be uncomfortable in a movie theater watching unfolding on the screen images of myself – not me, but black people – that were uncomfortable.
579
580
581
582
Wear things that make you happy because, I think, that really shines through. If you feel uncomfortable in something, then I don’t think it ever really works.
583
That was where my dream began to take hold, of not havin’ to pick cotton and potatoes, and not havin’ to be uncomfortable, too hot or too cold. That in itself had driven me to try to find some better way of life.
584
A-Frame became an expression of creating a place where everyone would feel comfortable, even if you were made to feel uncomfortable in restaurants before. It’s a place where I explored my own insecurities as far as being mistreated in restaurants or being given the worst table.
585
586
587
It’s a little weird exchanging pictures for money. You know what I mean. It makes me a little uncomfortable.

Making people uncomfortable is one of my hobbies.
591
592
The hardest part about traveling for work is that I’m a big guy, so traveling is sometimes uncomfortable for me.
593
I’ve never hosted a party in my life, not even my own birthday party. I’d feel really uncomfortable saying, ‘Hey everybody, let’s celebrate me!’ But I’m not antisocial. I don’t hate people.
594
595
I like making myself uncomfortable and throwing different stuff my way and trying to find a solution for it. I think that’s how you improve. Find a way to make yourself uncomfortable, get comfortable with it, and do it again.
596
The purpose of making people feel uncomfortable is to play with their preconceptions.
597
Perhaps it has been too uncomfortable for those with vested interests to acknowledge, but we have spent the best part of the past century enthusiastically testing the world to utter destruction; not looking closely enough at the long-term impact our actions will have.
598
I’m awkward at these things. Just being nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for Karate Kid was a real surprise and I was a little uncomfortable.
599
I remember filming my TV show, ‘Growing Up Supermodel,’ and just being uncomfortable. And then when I saw myself on TV, not even recognizing myself, it was really hard to see.
600
While in some ways I lack privilege, in other ways I have a ton of it. I have a lot of resources and power. And when I’ve been in uncomfortable situations, just as every woman, practically, in this industry has been, I’ve been a lot luckier and had more help.
601
That’s the challenge as an actor. You put yourself in uncomfortable positions because that’s your job. Otherwise, just stay home and watch TV.
602
603
I’d like to think I have a strange affinity for the embarrassing. Not sure what that says about me. But I like the awkward, uncomfortable comedy.
604
605
I’ve gotten better at not making people feel uncomfortable with my shyness.
606
When I think about it, I do start to worry about this whole social media thing. It does make me uncomfortable; kids should be out, living their lives, getting out and enjoying themselves.
607
A horse is dangerous at both ends and uncomfortable in the middle.
608
Not being able to grow in comfort is a beautiful thing when you’re uncomfortable, so just embrace it and roll with it, and you’ll come out stronger.
609
610
For the most part, it was never assumed that I was gay, and I’ve had people be sort of surprised that I was gay or act apologetic like they didn’t know, which would just make me really uncomfortable. And I never had shame for it, but I never felt like introducing myself as, ‘I’m Antoni. I’m gay. How are you?’
611
We get bored because we don’t want to sit with our fears. We don’t want to sit with our anxiety. We don’t want to sit with our stress because it’s uncomfortable.
612
613
No one should feel uncomfortable when they come to a NASCAR race, so it starts with Confederate flags. Get them out of here. They have no place for them.
614
I’ve done a lot of talk shows where you can tell that the host is just thinking about what he wants to say next while you’re answering him and that’s really uncomfortable.
615
Now I’ve devoted my life to making sure that I can be a trailblazer for any other African American kids or any other gay kids or any other kids that just feel weird or uncomfortable and have their own issues and don’t know how to express themselves. I want to be like a beacon for those kids now.
616
To sit in my concert and be uncomfortable is brave. Because you could always leave, you know?
617
There are lots of parts of filmmaking that I don’t like. At the end of the day, especially on features, the film turns into a commodity. You have to play this entirely new game I’m very uncomfortable with.
618
The hardest thing to write was explaining what anxiety feels like. Every time I’d try to really write about what it feels like to have an anxiety attack, I would actually have an anxiety attack. It was good material but so incredibly uncomfortable.
619
The most uncomfortable thing about going to space is coming home. It’s a little strange to get used to gravity again.

Some of the earlier stuff I did in studio with producers was very pop-directed, which I was uncomfortable with.
621
622

623
If you asked me to seriously kiss someone on a screen, I would be very uncomfortable. But I will lick any part of your face.
624
625

626
I’m uncomfortable with selfies and status updates documenting mundane pieces of my life, which I don’t think should be of interest to anyone else.
627
Honestly, from a very young age, before I had the language, really – anywhere that I encountered binary, whether it was in clothing or in toys or in media, it always made me uncomfortable.
628
If you’re somebody who writes songs or writes fiction, a writer that people pay for your opinion in any way, you shouldn’t be the least bit uncomfortable giving it to them. People want songwriters to tell them how they think and how they feel. That’s what a song is. That’s what I want to hear in a song.
629
I’m good at cold reading; I’ve made a living doing this, and most of the time I do audition, but it’s very tough. It’s a very uncomfortable, awkward process. You never get used to it, really.
630
631
632
Even though I believe in mass social movements, I’m uncomfortable in crowds.
633
There’s certainly something very uncomfortable about the voyeurism involved in being in the press, being an actor, where people have a seemingly insatiable curiosity about, you.
634
The process of getting conscious, for me, was a very, very uncomfortable, disturbing, and sometimes physically painful process. And so that’s the standard to which I write, because it was what I’ve experienced over my time.
635
Most women get pregnant and even though it’s a challenge physically and uncomfortable, they generally wanted to be pregnant.
636

637
638
639
I don’t really have loads of friends – three or four who are close. The thing that I love the most is playing with my band, and with everything else I feel kind of uncomfortable. I don’t think I’m socially awkward. I just prefer being behind a piano.
640
641
642
643
It is often difficult to watch yourself onscreen, especially 60-feet high. As an actor, it is an uncomfortable experience.
644
I’m not good at telling a joke, but I can say a line in a certain way that makes people uncomfortable because they don’t know whether to laugh or not, and I love that comedy.
645
646
I have become a marketing tool and I feel very uncomfortable with that. There’s no space for me to express myself.
