in reading ... stories, you can be many different people in many different places, doing things you would never have a chance to do in ordinary life. It's amazing that those twenty-six little marks of the alphabet can arrange themselves on the pages of a book and accomplish all that. Readers are lucky - they will never be bored or lonely.

If you're bored, your readers will be bored. If you're faking it, you won't get the kind of readers you want.

Darryl Pinckney

I've never been bored in my life, man. I've never been bored or lonely. Are you kidding? No way! I'm an orchestrator, a musician, a producer. I love everything. I've studied languages from Farsi to Greek to French, Swedish, Russian... How can you get bored?

Quincy Jones

I have readers tell me that I must be bored, but that's not true. I am never bored with the characters. I like them.

Martha Grimes

If whites bored me, it was because they bored themselves. They seemed to get little fun out of life and were desperately lonely.

Ethel Waters

The writer's curse is that even in solitude, no matter its duration, he never grows lonely or bored.

Criss Jami

I think people are lonely and desperate for attention and unemployed and bored. I don't mean that these are losers that live with their mom, although that is true for many of these people. I think people in general are literally underemployed and lonely and bored in this country because of the economic downturn, and because of the isolation that's available because of the internet. The internet has both freed people up to connect with each other and isolated them.

Moshe Kasher

I am never bored, never short of anything to do and I don't even ever feel lonely. I am quite gregarious and I get out and about a lot, but sometimes it is just wonderful to be on your own.

Simon Callow

In the end, my reasons for moving down the timeline and introducing a new cast have more to do with keeping myself entertained, on the assumption that if I get bored, my readers are going to be even more bored.

Raymond E. Feist

For the future, I don't want to make solid plans, because you never know what will happen, but I know I don't want to be bored. I really try to focus on the present and be ready for every opportunity. I am so happy with my career and personal life. I never thought I would be working in television and movies, so I am very lucky.

Rebecca Romijn

I do not often get lonely, and I never get bored.

Laura Dekker

I've been extremely lucky in that I've been a very successful model for a long time. So now I'm an actress and a mother. I'm a theatre rat, which I always wanted to be - I've wanted to act since I was 14 - and I never get bored, ever, and I have four beautiful children. I am, in fact, so darn lucky.

Jerry Hall

I'm lonely! I'm bored!

The Notorious B.I.G.

...I also believe that introversion is my greatest strength. I have such a strong inner life that I’m never bored and only occasionally lonely. No matter what mayhem is happening around me, I know I can always turn inward.
