I want to be happy, to look back and feel I danced well at the end of my career and didn't dwindle off. It would be too sad.
— Patricia McBride
I think, after 'Let Her Go,' I wanted to show people that I don't just write really sad love songs about my ex-girlfriend: that there's another side to Passenger as well that's a bit more up-tempo and more inclined to social commentary.
— Passenger
I love the romcom. I thought I had a career playing the best friend. What happened to that? It's really sad to me.
— Parker Posey
A large part of the creative process is tolerating the gap between the glorious image you had in your mind and the sad thing you've just made.
— Pamela Druckerman
The problem, when comparing contemporary television to television in 1974, is that TV has become not just bad but sad.
— P. J. O'Rourke
It's a sad commentary when I have to say that sometimes in our country we are real sensitive to race.
— Oscar Robertson
I'm not going to do a song that's really sad and thoughtful. Although I've done ballads like 'Dear Darlin',' I want to make them dance and be happy.
— Olly Murs
Let's let our men be happy, be sad, be trans, be questioning, be bisexual, be non-conforming, be feminine, be masculine!
— Olly Alexander
I want to be able to make people laugh and cry and feel happy or sad and feel all these different emotions through singing and acting. Hopefully throughout my career, I'll get to pursue them.
— Olivia Holt
If you go through life, and you don't find the beauty in an unexpected place, then you really have a sad existence.
— Octavia Spencer
My comedy is for children from three to 93. You do need a slightly childish sense of humour and if you haven't got that, it's very sad.
— Norman Wisdom
I survived turning 60, I was not thrilled to turn 61, I was less thrilled to turn 62, I didn't much like being 63, I loathed being 64, and I will hate being 65. I don't let on about such things in person; in person, I am cheerful and Pollyanna-ish. But the honest truth is that it's sad to be over 60.
— Nora Ephron
I love writing sad songs.
— Noah Cyrus
We've been given the full spectrum of emotions for good reason, and it helps us be happy, in my opinion. I think it's totally normal to be sad or angry or frustrated, hopeless at moments. I don't think we would've been given these things if they were bad.
— Noah Centineo
So I just sat in bed for six months - I literally didn't leave the house - and it was the first time that I'd actually experienced being depressed. I'd be sad on and off but I'd never experienced actual depression. Like, crying for no reason. It was really horrible.
— Nina Nesbitt
I love Starbucks. Maybe that's a bit sad. But I definitely need my caffeine. It's what gets me out of bed in the morning.
— Nikki Sixx
I think I would be very sad if I wasn't able to have a baby.
— Nicole Kidman
I am not sad, but I am melancholic. When you lose your mother at 20 and then your father soon after, melancholia is part of your life.
— Patricia Kaas
I don't know what I want, but I do know that I don't want the usual stuff, the cliched stuff is just too mind-numbing. They sell, I know, but it makes me sad to know that.
— Parvathy
In this industry, it's sad that a superficial thing like weight loss can actually define your career, but if that is the case, so be it.
— Parineeti Chopra
I agree with cosmetic surgery for medical reasons - my mother had breast cancer and I think it's very sad when somebody has no choice in what happens to their body.
— Paloma Faith
We all had lots of stories of our sad experiences - they mourned the death of my wife with me - but we were hopeful that the children would return.
— Otto Frank
I was perpetually this B-minus kid vacillating between eagerness and depression. I wasn't a bad kid, and I definitely wasn't aggressive, but I was a sad kid.
— Oneohtrix Point Never
If people are paying money to see me, then I want them to walk away from the show knowing they had a really great time. I want it to be very energetic and to have fun, sad, emotional and uplifting moments. I want it to have everything!
I feel like listening to sad songs are a way of narrating your life and confirming your identity.
I love the script and I just thought it was a great role. Like I say, it's like this - the script is like this sad, funny, desperate love song to the lost American man.
— Oliver Platt
So, Israel, for all its glory, has failed as a social country because it has not built a strong society, but a very weak one. We succeeded militarily and financially, and we are the 'Start-Up Nation' - but when it comes to social issues, Israel has failed. It is very sad.
— Nuseir Yassin
The tragedy of life is in what dies inside a man while he lives - the death of genuine feeling, the death of inspired response, the awareness that makes it possible to feel the pain or the glory of other men in yourself.
— Norman Cousins
I see so many women thinking other women are their enemies - especially when they don't have a job or a guy or whatever. It's like, 'I don't have what I want, and she does, so she must be my enemy.' I find it confusing and not fair and sad.
— Noel Wells
To think that any animal would be trapped makes me so sad. It's like living in your bedroom for your entire life and never being able to go outside.
The second you become an actress, people take the licence to make many assumptions about you. You're in trouble if you interact with a director/actor. You're in even more trouble if you don't. When I started out, a single YouTube comment would make me sad for days, and I'd wonder how people could say such nasty things about me.
— Nithya Menen
It's sad, the lottery. Good projects get funded by it, but there's an air of desperation about it.
— Nina Conti
There is still so much drama in my life, but I'm not a sad person anymore.
— Nikki Reed
A lot of my movies have come to be thought about only years after the fact, and I'm sad about that but also happy about it in a way, as it's given them longevity.
— Nicolas Roeg
I've found that people feel very free to say insulting things, not about me personally, but about the things I believe. It's sad, because I really could care less where people are coming from, politically, religiously.
— Patricia Heaton
How sad is that life when a man thinks that his manliness comes with asking sexual favours from a woman. That's the saddest way of being a man.
Let my soul smile through my heart and my heart smile through my eyes, that I may scatter rich smiles in sad hearts.
— Paramahansa Yogananda
It was a dream come true for me to play with the Montreal Canadiens, and the sad thing is that my promise to the city of bringing a Stanley Cup back and wanting to win one, I won't be able to fulfill that promise.
— P.K. Subban
It is a very sad thing that nowadays there is so little useless information.
— Oscar Wilde
It's sad to me that the main stage of history is a story of how we became this visually obsessed, extremely narcissistic, extremely concerned about image, culture. At least in the West.
I don't really do sad, depressing songs.
Fear of carbs, of gluten, of everything - we've distanced ourselves from the beauty of food, the art of it. It makes me sad when people say, 'Oh, I don't eat gluten. I don't eat cheese. I don't eat this. So I eat cardboard.'
— Olivia Wilde
Being single is only sad if you have a problem with your own company. I'm content with mine.
— Olga Kurylenko
I'm sad for younger bands that don't have a home that they know they can go to, like the twenty-five labels that used to be around that they know they can hang their hat and know that they'll give 'em three, four, five albums to develop.
— Nuno Bettencourt
I've got so much to do, I don't have time to sit down and be sad.
— Norma McCorvey
It's a sad state when more people retweet than buy records.
— Noel Gallagher
As a twelve-year-old girl, I thought that I was only pretty if the people on social media told me that I was pretty - and they weren't telling me I was pretty. So I didn't think I was pretty, and I was really down on myself, and I really was sad with myself. But social media doesn't give you validation or make you pretty. You make you pretty.
Every day, when I am working with my boys, I tell them as long as you put in your best efforts, I am there to back you. But the day I find your energy flagging on the field, the day I find you have not put in your best, that's when I will be really upset and sad.
— Nita Ambani
Before I left for Germany, I had gotten accepted to the performing arts high school in New York, which was a big dream of mine. And having to leave that was very sad for me.
— Nina Arianda
Getting a book published made me feel a little bit sad. I felt driven by the need to write a book, rather than the need to write. I needed to figure out what was important to me as a writer.
— Nicole Krauss
