If you start in the pit of despair with these profane, awful things, even a glimmer of hope or awareness is going to occur that’s much brighter coming from this dark, awful beginning. – Chuck Palahniuk
I’m an actor, and I don’t look at myself as providing comic relief. I have done diverse and dark roles such as a psycho, murderer, and others in films such as ‘Don’, ‘Eklavya’ and ‘3 Idiots.’ – Boman Irani
I have a big personality, and I think big personality plus blond hair makes me come across as glib. With dark hair, people look at your face more. Before, it was all about the hair. – Brooke Burns
If you’re in a dark place, you’re there for a reason. And the only way to get through to those kids or to other people going through the same thing is really to meet them in that dark place and then slowly bring them to the light. – Bebe Rexha
Those revolutionaries who have, by chance, escaped the gallows should live and show to the world that they cannot only embrace gallows for the ideal but also bear the worst type of tortures in the dark, dingy prison cells. – Bhagat Singh
Some people would say comedy draws from some dark places, from your dark stuff. Life’s great optimists aren’t necessarily the funniest people. – Colin Firth
It’s just interesting that people don’t really know about the roles that I play that are darker. I kind of do a huge blend of really big light things but also really dark indie things, and it just sort of happens to work out that way. – Brittany Snow
When I’m working on a Slipknot song, it’s like a switch flips in my head. I can go there easily – it doesn’t take a lot of soul searching – and it’s a dark, almost sinister place. Stone Sour is more the way I’ve always written. It’s a different tone. – Corey Taylor
The Dark Satirist, like the Dark Knight – that could be a good name for a superhero. – Bassem Youssef
My voice is rather quirky. It’s abysmally low. People often think I’m putting it on at first. Think drunk Darth Vader. Or Barry White singing country. It suits my dark material. When I do readings, I really play it up and go subterranean. I can make the phone book sound terrifying. – Benjamin Percy
There was a reason my first substantial role after rehab was to play a maniac whose personal story ended badly. I knew what it was like to go those dark places. I played a guy who died as a result of his abuse. – Charlie Sheen
I don’t really have a metaphor for how I write, but it kinda feels like chipping away at a big dark object that I can’t really see. – Bryan Lee O’Malley
And my favourite new songwriter is Joe Banfi from Sheffield. He’s dark, edgy, serene and beautiful. – Ben Lovett

Why did men worship in churches, locking themselves away in the dark, when the world lay beyond its doors in all its real glory? – Charles de Lint
I love to play characters who are stuffy and nerdy who either then have a dark side or are pushed to a breaking point. – Andy Daly
I have my dark side like anybody, you know, depression, anxiety… and I write about gritty, real-life stuff. – Art Alexakis
Sometimes they keep us in the dark, but it’s TV, so sometimes they keep us in the dark because even they don’t know yet. You know what I mean? So, it sort of develops as it goes along and according to various needs that arise. – Aaron Stanford
I’m afraid of losing my obscurity. Genuineness only thrives in the dark. Like celery. – Aldous Huxley
Maybe because I’m a nice and sweet person in life, I like the darker roles. The really dark one is Lady Macbeth. – Anna Netrebko
I’ve always wanted to be a brooding, deep, dark artist, but I can never keep that facade going for more than 15 minutes. – Bryan Callen
I don’t really need a personal trainer or watch what I eat. I can’t start the day without a hot chocolate or finish it without a few squares of dark chocolate. It’s good for my mood! – Blake Lively
I like a very dark house, just black. I sit there and just think. Once I’m still and quiet inside, I’ll begin. It’s very personal; it has to be. One song may be Bach, the next blues, a song from TV, or a nursery rhyme or jazz piece. – Bobby McFerrin
