Being an artist means ceasing to take seriously that very serious person we are when we are not an artist.

The fact is that we take music very seriously.

In the wars of the European powers in matters relating to themselves we have never taken any part, not does it comport with our policy so to do. It is only when our rights are invaded or seriously menaced that we resent injuries or make preparation for our defence.

Don Johnson

I prefer a life in which we don't take ourselves too seriously.
Carter Burwell

We do not take humor seriously enough.
Konrad Lorenz

I'm very happy with the way I look. I wake up some morning, catch myself in the bathroom mirror, and go, 'hey girl, you're alright'. But on the other hand, I find the website stuff, and the polls, something completely removed from my own personal life. You can't take anything like that too seriously, otherwise you'd end up in the loony bin.
Cameron Diaz

By failing seriously to confront the most predicable economic crisis in our nation's history, the President's policies are committing us and our children to a diminished future.
Paul Ryan

When I became 16 I started thinking seriously about singing.
Tommy Shaw

Payne Stewart

I've never taken myself too seriously.
Omar Epps

It doesn't interest me to be Harrison Ford. It interests me to be Mike Pomeroy and Indiana Jones and Jack Ryan. I don't want to be in the Harrison Ford business. I take what I do seriously, but I don't take myself seriously.
Harrison Ford

When I meet somebody, I hang out with them, and it's all good, but I don't take it too seriously.
Christina Milian
