You can’t put the Hollywood sign in a movie without paying them. That is a landmark in L.A. I’m sorry, remove it from our skyline, then. You know? How dare they. That should be public domain, right?

I was working for a chef a long time ago who told me to not skip steps or be in a hurry. Success in a kitchen is more like a marathon and less like a sprint.

33
If you’re in a conversation with me, the last thing I’ll probably say when I’m walking away is, ‘Thank you and sorry.’

I’m sorry to bang on about it because I know everyone is, but Bryan Cranston in ‘Breaking Bad‘ is remarkable.

36
Along with former President Bill Clinton, we have Sam Nunn to thank for the sorry debacle of ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.’

The thing about the NFL is nobody cares. Nobody feels bad for you. Nobody feels sorry for you… They don’t care if you’re hurt. They don’t care if you don’t feel good. You have a bad call. Play goes against you? No one cares. You’ve got to play. You’ve got to win.

That’s all that counts. People being sorry. Makes you feel better; gives you a sense of dignity, and that’s all that’s important; a sense of dignity. And it doesn’t matter if you don’t care or not, either. You got to have a sense of dignity, even if you don’t care, ’cause, if you don’t have that, civilization’s doomed.

130
131
I am not expecting anyone to feel sorry for me, but when friends ask how it feels to be a debut novelist who has also been long listed for the Man Booker prize, I have to admit that my response has confused me. I am so overwhelmed, so delighted, so honoured and so surprised, I have come out in a violent cold.
132
I think it’s misleading to use a word like ‘God’ in the way Einstein did. I’m sorry that Einstein did. I think he was asking for trouble, and he certainly was misunderstood.
133
134
I didn’t read a book until I was 31 years old when I was diagnosed with dyslexia. Books terrified me. They made me nervous.

135

150
Nobody in the developing world is going to take, as an answer to their aspirations, the developed world’s reply: ‘Sorry, you can’t; we’ve already used it all up.’ To earn the right to look the developing world in the eye and start this conversation, we need a reassessment of how we live and what we want.

158
I don’t feel sorry for myself.

173
There’s only one thing you can do in bankruptcy: break your word, break your deals. It allows you to say to the small businesses, who have been catering lunches for you, ‘Sorry, we’re not paying you.’ It allows you to go to the workers and say, ‘Sorry, we’re not paying you.’
174
175

194

195

203

205

219

I’m not sorry for who I am.

226
227

234
235
236
We should not judge Islam by terrorists. All civilizations and cultures produce terrorists. Every time there is a flag-burning, killing, or provocative films, I’m worried, not because something radical will happen, and this time, some people are killed. We’re very sorry for that.
237
We’re in a new world. We’re in a world in which the possibility of terrorism, married up with technology, could make us very, very sorry that we didn’t act.

270

271
272
273
The makers love to show women being oppressed, and the audience also loves watching these stories. I’m sorry to say, but a large portion of the audience that watches these shows are women.

274
I’m sorry I didn’t feel any better or play any better, but that’s what happens at the end of careers.

285

287
I’m sorry – I know America is supposed to be the land of the dreams and hopes, but it’s like, when was that actually a real thing?

305
306
I feel sorry for people who have to edit me. Which is why book writing is by far the most enjoyable. Really the only thing it’s based on is whether it’s good or not. No book editor, in my experience, is getting a manuscript and try to rewrite it.
307
308
309
There’s no room in my life for feeling sorry for myself.
310
Sorry, never been a car guy.

319

326

329
330
331
332
People who do not have funny in them are not funny when they read funny lines. Sorry. Just doesn’t work that way. Seriously, this is the biggest rule of all. You live and die with your casting decisions. Your actors are the heart and soul of the whole thing. Without brilliant actors, you will not have a brilliant film.
333
This is going to sound strange, but I really didn’t think I would pass 30. I don’t know why or whatever, I just didn’t. That’s a very weird thing to say, I’m sorry. I don’t know. Maybe it’s because I was drinking so much as a youth.
334
335
I think I’m decisive, and I like to get things done quickly. So if that comes across as intimidation, I’m sorry to hear it. But it’s more in the interest of getting things done.

339
I believe that God felt sorry for actors so he created Hollywood to give them a place in the sun and a swimming pool. The price they had to pay was to surrender their talent.
340
341
342
Al Jolson was my first husband. He always used to boast that he was spoiling me for any man who might come after him. I think Al sensed that it wasn’t easy for me being married to an American institution… Was he right about spoiling me? I’m sorry. I couldn’t possibly say. I couldn’t be that indiscreet.
343
Real life is hard. I’m sorry, but shopping at Tesco is not as much fun as writing jokes for TV shows, and I struggle with it.

346

347
I really feel sorry for society-labelled ‘pretty’ people who have to prove their personalities because no one can believe they bothered to make one based on how they look.

354
355
I like coming home because nobody knows who I am. In Cookville, I’m Rich. I’m not a big deal. People like Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, they just can’t live a normal life and you do feel sorry for those guys.

365
366
367
It must have been horrible for my parents to see me go from public school to comprehensive to detention centre to borstal. I was busy ploughing my own furrow, but I must have been a terrible worry to them, and for that I am sorry.
368
369
370

372
373
374

375
I was afterwards sorry for this, though, if I ever travel again, I shall trust to none but natives, as the climate of Africa is too trying to foreigners.
376

377
378
379
No mother wants to hear her son say he’s gay. Those two words rip the picture of a daughter-in-law and grandchildren into pieces.

380
381
I think I felt very alone for a lot of my life, but once I was able to share my story more and more, and people wouldn’t say, ‘Hey, I felt sorry for you,’ but, ‘I get it, and I understand you,’ it kind of encouraged me to tell it more. I just don’t want people to feel alone.
382
383
384
When the Lord Chancellor violates the trust of his great office of state to solicit party donations from people whose careers he can control, and then says I’m not sorry, and I’d do it again no wonder the public think that power has gone to their heads.

395
396
My heart stopped seven times and I had to be resuscitated seven times. It’s incredible I’m still here so every day I feel happy to have a second chance but I’m sorry to say I didn’t see any tunnel or any light at the end of it.
397
So I’m sorry, I’m going to continue to talk to the people, because I do believe that if they get to know you and what you are as a human being, they can more appreciate what you are as a performer.

400
401
402

People step on my feet, and I say I’m sorry.

I’ve been very blessed. I don’t want anyone to feel sorry for me.
409
How does one know if she has forgiven? You tend to feel sorrow over the circumstance instead of rage, you tend to feel sorry for the person rather than angry with him. You tend to have nothing left to say about it all.
410
You’re going to tell me that things aren’t right in Cuba, and so we shouldn’t engage. It’s lunacy. Look outside your door and see the inhumanity of Americans… that we perpetrate on a daily basis in our lives… and then tell me that you’re going to isolate Cuba as an example. I’m sorry; that’s unacceptable.
411
412

419
420
421
To all my nonbelieving, sort-of-believing, and used-to-be-believing friends: I feel like I should begin with a confession. I am sorry that so often the biggest obstacle to God has been Christians.

423
If I don’t seem as depressed or morose as I should be, sorry to disappoint you.

My parents didn’t give me any scope to feel sorry for myself. They were just like ‘go play with your brother, go climb a tree, go fall off your motorbike, do whatever you want. Don’t come crying to us when you get scratched. You’ve got prosthetic legs – that’s very nice.’
425
I was very sorry when I found out that your intentions were good and not what I supposed they were.

The FHA literally drew up the redlining map and then basically distributed – I’m sorry, the Home Owners‘ Loan Corporation actually did it, and then distributed to banks who used that as policy to determine how they would lend and who they would lend to. The racism in the system was pervasive and total.
434
I think good things are happening to me and will continue. I am not optimistic about the rest of the species, but I’m so blessed, it’s almost scary. I’m sorry to disappoint you, but I have a wildly sunny disposition. I love to laugh.
435
436
I made the apologies that needed to be made, and so I didn’t feel that Media Matters was a continuing form of saying I was sorry.

I’m done saying ‘I’m sorry I wasn’t who you needed or wanted me to be’ to everybody in my life.
440
Politicians live in mortal terror of ever saying they are sorry about anything, because that would suggest they have been wrong. It is often a trait of powerful people not to want to be seen to back down.
441
One of my mother’s friends said to me, ‘Your ex-boyfriends didn’t stand a chance with you and your mother.’ And I think I probably was unfair to them because she was the first person and the last person I called about every single thing. Sorry, ex-boyfriends.

447
448
I did a lot of things as a Muslim that I am sorry for now.

450
451
I was in Paris, Milan and London from ’89 until ’91, and I did mostly runway modeling. I know there’s so many people out there looking for pictures, but this was way before the age of the Internet, sorry!
452
When we’re in trouble, it’s usually a line from a song that saves us. I wish it was sermons, but, I’m sorry, it’s not. When you’re in crisis, what comes to mind is ‘O love that would not let me go.’ You know?
453
I’m sorry that we have to have a Washington presence. We thrived during our first 16 years without any of this. I never made a political visit to Washington and we had no people here. It wasn’t on our radar screen. We were just making great software.

462
463
A man never apologizes for the fact that he has to work. He might say, ‘Hey, I am so sorry my hours were long today,’ but he’d never feel he has to explain the very fact that he has a career. Once I stopped apologizing, I noticed both my kids also stopped complaining and asking me ‘why’ I worked.
464

467
468
469
In the U.S. – yes, sorry, the U.S. – surgeons and doctors usually give you their cell phone numbers, and tell you to call anytime if anything goes wrong. They often call to follow up after a visit, or go over test results. They have email.
470
It goes without saying that ‘Buncha Losers‘ comedies speak to tough times. The massive unemployment of the Reagan years gave us ‘Taxi,’ ‘Cheers‘ and the genre-defining ‘Night Court,’ a show you could never admit to watching without making people feel sorry for you.
471
472
I got to play in a crowd, play in Wimbledon finals, be the guy on a Davis Cup team for a while. Those are opportunities not a lot of people get. As much as I was disappointed and frustrated at times, I’m not sure that I ever felt sorry for myself or begrudged anybody any of their success.
