I learned to write fiction the way I learned to read fiction - by skipping the parts that bored me.
Jonathan Lethem

I live for my work, apart from my family who come first. And I live to tell stories and pretend to be other people, it's something I've been doing since I was 3 years old. Maybe it's because I'm intrinsically bored with myself, and I find other people more interesting.
Jackie Weaver

I never did pal around with actresses. Their talk usually bored me to tears.
Bette Davis

I started to get bored with that stuff about only drawing men and I've taken it out of the slideshow.
Alison Bechdel

I take the theater seriously in that I loathe it, I'm bored by it.

I took lots of photographs and had planned to write a treatise on how it worked, but I quickly got bored with that idea and wrote a scientific fairy tale instead.
Kit Williams

I wanted to be bored to death, as good a way to go as any.

Joshua Lederberg

I would have to say I'm bored with the standard rock, guitar solos, but I've done it for five albums now, and this time I wanted to go in a completely different direction. I wasn't interested in showing off any more.

Courteney Cox

I'm bored with that line. I never use it anymore. My new line is "In 15 minutes everybody will be famous."

I'm getting a little bored by the juxtaposition of American and other cinema. I no longer think this division is as true as it might have been in the 1980s, or the early part of the 90s.
Wim Wenders

I'm never bored.
Jack Prelutsky

I'm not bored; I'm not a guy who has nothing to do.
Darrell Royal

I'm sick of very white teeth and lots of gymnasium practice. I'm bored, you know, send in the next one. I wanted a real man that I could believe was my brother, my father, you know, my next-door neighbor - a real person.
Tim Roth

I'm such a chameleon. I never get bored.
Natalie Imbruglia

I've always been terrified about being bored. I always think being bored is the worst thing. The only strategic decision I ever made as an actor was to try and make each job as different as possible.
Alfred Molina

I've made a career over the last seventeen years of mostly playing men in uniform, especially cops. The one thing for an actor that is death, is if you're bored. The boredom will show in your work.
Benjamin Bratt

Idle people are often bored and bored people, unless they sleep a lot, are cruel. It is not accident that boredom and cruelty are great preoccupations in our time.
Renata Adler
