It is always consoling to think of suicide: in that way one gets through many a bad night.
I believe the election and reelection of Obama were among the most conspicuous acts of denial in recent years. Voters just stopped paying attention. They accepted consistently bad behavior and rewarded it. Then they wonder why they get more bad behavior.
Obstinacy in a bad cause is but constancy in a good.
In 2008, when the global financial crisis struck, it was a bad year for a lot of developing countries, and it manifested itself in consumer confidence.
It's contagious to do great. But once that one bad apple falls, everybody else will fall, and that's how it is.
We are more prone to generalize the bad than the good. We assume that the bad is more potent and contagious.
No company is preferable to bad. We are more apt to catch the vices of others than virtues, as disease is far more contagious than health.
Haemophilia itself is bad enough. It is disabling day by day, even if far less incapacitating than in the 19th and early 20th centuries. But the added burden of life-threatening further illnesses from contaminated NHS blood is far worse.
I used to watch Babita and Vinesh win medals. I was happy for my sisters but at the same time I felt bad for not being a part of the contingent.
Making movies, you're like an independent contractor - you come in, you have a specific job, and a lot of what you do is completely manipulated, which is good and bad.
Legally, many contractors are required to pay a prevailing wage. However, bad actors often find ways to get around this requirement.
Just because you say something doesn't make it controversial, and it doesn't make you a bad person.
When you are shooting in a conventional way, you put nets around yourself. It's very hard to fall and hit the ground. You can always manipulate things to make it not embarrassing. If the scene is a little bit bad, you can polish it or even take it out. You can hide your mistakes.
My own view is that taping of conversations for historical purposes was a bad decision on the part of all the presidents. I don't think Kennedy should have done it. I don't think Johnson should have done it, and I don't think we should have done it.
An overflow of good converts to bad.
The media had me convicted of doing something wrong before I had even done anything at all, before I had talked to anyone, before I get out of bed. I'm always the bad person.
There were a lot of bad relationships that got very convoluted up at Columbia with me, what they expected from me.
'Celebrate' is meant to be a guide to party planning and, as such, it has to cover the basics. If I were to write a cookery book, for instance, I would be compelled to say that, to make an omelette, you have to break at least one egg. Actually, that's not a bad idea. Or maybe I should write a sequel and call it 'Bottoms Up?'
I have a bad sweet tooth. I'm pretty good when I have to eat well for work, but otherwise, I could eat a whole roll of raw cookie dough.
In large states public education will always be mediocre, for the same reason that in large kitchens the cooking is usually bad.
