I wanted to write an upbeat song where I could feel good about the fact that I've moved around so much and not sad about all the goodbyes I've had to face.
— Alice Merton
I grew up thinking that it's okay to be sad, angry, and express your emotions. I have also banged doors and fought, as I have seen my mom do that when she would fight with my dad. Everything that I've learnt is from them, so I've never struggled to express myself.
— Alia Bhatt
I can't be happy with drawing or losing a match. It actually makes me really sad when that happens.
— Alexis Sanchez
Marketing has supplanted story as the primary force behind the worthiness of making a film, and that's a very sad thing. It's film only as a function of consumerism rather than as an important component of our culture, and that's everywhere around the world.
— Alexander Payne
You are validating someone's life by telling their story. Even if it's a sad one.
— Alex Tizon
I never want to go out wearing something sad.
— Alessandro Michele
When I talk about sad things, I talk about sad things.
— Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
To be a character who feels a deep emotion, one must go into the memory's vault and mix in a sad memory from one's own life.
— Albert Finney
I had no interest in music. But now, music means everything to me. I have no words to explain how beautiful music is. It is where you can create everything, like beautiful songs to sad songs to almost anything.
— Alan Walker
The sad reality is that there are no purely domestic issues in Israel. Issues that would be dealt with by municipalities in other countries - such as how to deal with a dangerous bridge or how to resolve conflicts between religious and secular bus riders - become major international issues when they occur in Israel.
— Alan Dershowitz
When I remember my mother, it makes me really sad. But, when I remember my father, it makes me smile.
— Akkineni Nagarjuna
I can't deal with waking up and being sad.
— Adwoa Aboah
I love music videos, I really do. I think it's kind of sad that it's a dying art form.
— Adam Levine
I don't consider myself a celebrity. That would be kind of sad.
— Adam Driver
I'm not sure how to describe my style. A lot of my work is dark and looks a bit sad, which is strange because I'm such a smiley, over-the-top positive guy who wears gold shoes most days.
— Aaron Huey
What makes me sad about school is that the people who are unhappy are unhappy because they don't believe it will change. And I just want to say: 'It does! High school ends and it's over.' I will tell anyone that it's OK to be unhappy at school, make lots of mistakes and then it will be over.
— Alice Englert
I think I went through puberty really late in life or something. I always looked like a little, sad Thai boy up until I was 26.
— Ali Wong
Yes, as an oppressed people, American Indians have this epic burden, but first and foremost, they're human: sometimes a mess, sometimes funny or sad, at times very wise, and other times not wise at all - a lot like me.
— Alexandra Fuller
I'm a bit of a romantic, to a fault. It's led me to some great things and also some sad things. It's made me a better person, to keep a good spirit about dating.
— Alexander Koch
People are getting away from the whole album experience, it's true. I think that's sad. Maybe I'm just saying that because I'm an old fart. But I can't help it - albums are what I grew up with, and I still love them.
— Alex Lifeson
For me, fashion is something that makes you feel alive, that expresses something of you: if you are sad, if you are happy.
I think Jerry Lee is sad. As a musician, he was far more talented than Elvis Presley. Everybody down in Memphis knows that. Elvis became a movie star because he was beautiful. Not that Elvis wasn't talented, but Jerry Lee Lewis was incomprehensibly talented as a musician.
— Alec Baldwin
We're taught to be ashamed of confusion, anger, fear and sadness, and to me they're of equal value to happiness, excitement and inspiration.
— Alanis Morissette
That's what so sad about a lot of modern music, in my opinion, so many young bands never stay around long enough to fulfill their ultimate promise. They only get halfway there or a quarter of the way there.
— Alan Vega
Sad to think that we won't have any new stories from John Updike, one of the last century's masters. But so many here in the two volumes of his collected stories, 186 by my count, stories to read, reread, savor over the course of a cold season. Updike's genius in the short form spills out of these many, many pages.
— Alan Cheuse
Life will take its toll on all of us. We get injured, we get old. It's really sad to try to run away from these harsh realities of life. Looks are not everything. I am not going to look beautiful all the time.
— Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
School was unbelievably painful. It was five years of being pretty sad.
Los Angeles can be a really sad city.
— Adam Lambert
In this sad world of ours, sorrow comes to all; and to the young, it comes with bitterest agony because it takes them unawares. I have had experience enough to know what I say.
— Abraham Lincoln
It's really a sad story, and I liked that. The songs on this album talk about relationships in every aspect.
— Aaliyah
I have my way of dealing with lows in my career: I just go on a holiday. Coping with a failure of a film is like coping with a break-up. It's sad and heart-breaking, and it's not like I got over it right after my holiday; it took me some time.
Tears are the summer showers to the soul.
— Alfred Austin
The saddest thing that befalls a soul is when it loses faith in God and woman.
— Alexander Smith
I get to play characters that kind of shock people and I enjoy doing that. I like characters that have meaning and get people in the heart. I want to be able to get people to cry or make people angry or sad.
— Alexa Vega
When I see 'Sunshine,' I see a film that part of me is kind of very proud of and another part of me is very sad about, so it's a really complicated film for me. And I've never been really able to resolve all that in myself.
— Alex Garland
Sad music, I always thought, is more beautiful than other music. But at the same time, I am in my personal life a very happy guy. I have a sense of humor. I am not the kind of depressed guy all the time brooding. No. I am very enthusiastic about things.
Above all things let us never forget that mankind constitutes one great brotherhood; all born to encounter suffering and sorrow, and therefore bound to sympathize with each other.
— Albert Pike
Our thoughts really do create our lives. They've done a lot of research showing if you're an optimistic, positive person you will be a healthier person than if you're a sad, depressed, negative person.
— Alana Stewart
I like to write sad songs. They're much easier to write and you get a lot more emotion into them. But people don't want to hear them as much. And radio definitely doesn't; they want that positive, uptempo thing.
— Alan Jackson
My private life's quite sad.
— Akshaye Khanna
Jesus died when he was 33, and when I was 33, I was coming out of a failed marriage and was in a really low point in my life because I was really sad about that. God healed me so much during that period. So I loved that year because I leaned on God, and then, as a result, I started checking things off my bucket list.
— Ainsley Earhardt
I never get sullen, sad, or envious, because those emotions will get me nowhere.
— Aditya Roy Kapur
If someone is sad, they put on a song, or if someone wants to rock out, and they want to get into a good mood, they put on music. Just being able to be a part of something like that I feel like was my ultimate push to do music.
— Adam Hicks
Nothing is as sad as seeing a person who used to have power have none.
— Abraham A. Ribicoff
The death of any man aged 56 is very sad for his widow and family. And no one would deny that Steve Jobs was a brilliant and highly innovative technician, with great business flair and marketing ability.
— A. N. Wilson
