The questioning is a stupid formality aimed exclusively at preventing us from speaking at the demonstration. – Alexei Navalny
‘Romance’ is based on my entire creative process. I fall in love with an idea, obsess over it, isolate myself with it, and when I eventually introduce it to my friends, they all tell me that it’s stupid. – Chuck Palahniuk
I like ‘Zorro.’ I like people you can believe that don’t have those stupid powers. That is the beauty of Zorro. He’s just a guy working for the people, to save the people. – Catherine Zeta-Jones
When a big company lays you off, they often give you a year’s salary to ‘go pursue a dream.’ If you’re stupid, you panic and get another job. If you’re smart, you take the money and use the time to figure out what you want to do next. – Bruce Schneier
I was doing a bit that stupid people should be slapped. But the more I did it, the more I didn’t like that connotation, the violence and all that. The more I thought about it, I thought they should just wear signs. And, man, it just took off. – Bill Engvall
CNN’s problem goes to its very core and to the identity it’s sought ever since the rise of Fox News, on its right: CNN is the channel for people who don’t want to watch the other channels! That’s a stupid strategy. – Alex Pareene
Some movies, I think, present ideas of the world that just don’t help people with their lives. They just present things that are fleeting or stupid. So that’s what I’m careful about – making sure I’m part of something that is saying something that I think is valuable in the world of people, not necessarily in the world of art. – Alden Ehrenreich
A lot of the characters I play are very naive, and I don’t think I’m like that. And I’m not stupid! – Ashton Kutcher
People like casting me as these characters who definitely have an edge to them, but I don’t really think ‘bad boy’ is something anyone can say about themselves without sounding stupid. – Blair Redford
When I was a kid, I wanted to be serious, like Daniel Day-Lewis. No one really dreams of being a comic actor, do they? Now I realise how stupid that is – and it’s because comic acting isn’t taken seriously enough. It’s a discipline. You know instantly – either you’re funny and getting the laughs, or you’re not. – Chris O’Dowd
Rich people never go to war. You ask a college kid to go to war, and he’s like, ‘Umm, I’m taking this sociology class, and I think war is, like, really stupid, and my roommate’s, like, half Afghani, so it’s going to cause some static.’ – Bill Burr
If somebody had told me when I was in graduate school, ‘Brian, in 35 years you’ll get a chance to fly the first commercial spacecraft with no computers,’ I’d have said, ‘I don’t think so. People are not going to be that stupid.’ – Brian Binnie
I think it is just stupid economics for a government to approach economic management from a strand of thinking regarding unions as enemies. – Bob Hawke
The directors thought, They understand nothing in the real economy, in real life. They read some stupid books, and they came from the moon to the earth, and maybe in one month they will disappear. – Anatoly Chubais
I wouldn’t say I’m a feminist, but I don’t like girls pretending to be stupid because it’s easier. – Amy Winehouse
The only thing that I’m not willing to do is really stupid, horribly written sitcoms. It can be tempting during pilot season time, but I realized this a while ago when I almost signed my life away to a stupid pilot. – Ari Graynor
‘Friends’ started because Rachel left her husband at the altar. This likability factor is just so stupid to me. It’s the same thing as ‘wish-fulfillment,’ which is a big word you hear in a lot of Hollywood rooms. It basically means that people want to see other people living a life they can’t lead, and I don’t buy that. I think that’s not true. – Adam Pally
One of the dreams of Zionism was to be a bridge. Instead, we are creating exclusion between the East and the West instead of creating bridges; we are contributing to the conflict between East and West by our stupid desire to have more. – A. B. Yehoshua
If we judged everybody by the stupid, unguarded things they blurt out to their nearest and dearest, then we wouldn’t ever get anywhere. – Boris Johnson
I don’t like being called ‘macho.’ Macho basically means stupid and a real Italian man is not macho, he’s smart. That’s smart in both senses: elegant and clever. – Andrea Bocelli
It’s sort of what jazz would be if it stopped being snobby and what rock would be if it stopped being stupid. – Andy Partridge
