A Quote by B. F. Skinner

I never really expected to be controversial. — © B. F. Skinner
I never really expected to be controversial.
Life is full of all sorts of things, and I never expected to be a part of this. I never expected to be a model. I never expected to be a stylist. Or a designer. So you never know.
I'm a writer. I never expected to be recognised on the street. I never expected to get that kind of coverage, good or bad. I never expected to sell as many books as I have.
A baby is expected. A trip is expected. News is expected. Forgetfulness is expected. An invitation is expected. Hope is expected. But memories are not expected. They just come.
All I've wanted to be is someone people look up to. It's funny - everyone says I'm controversial. I've never worked out what it is about me that's controversial. I've never had a DUI; I've never been in a brawl; you've never seen photos of me walking out of clubs at 5 A.M.
I've never intended to be controversial but it's very easy to be controversial in pop music because nobody ever is.
I've never intended to be controversial, but it's very easy to be controversial in pop music because nobody ever is.
I've never tried to be controversial. The truth is controversial enough.
I'd be very controversial if I said why, and I don't do controversial anymore. That's too passé. So last year. Being controversial is boring now.
'Saw' really was like a student film for me; we expected it to go straight to video. I never expected anyone to see that film, and then it becomes one of the most successful horror franchises.
I certainly never expected to be a professional actor. I never expected to be in movies. I thought I would probably become a teacher.
It was something I never expected to - I never expected the book would sell in the first place. I was hoping for a quick and merciful death at the hands of the reviewers.
I've had far more success than I ever expected. But I do think that a lot of successful artists have an aim to be successful, even if they don't outwardly sound like it. I never really expected success.
I never expected to be in the papers. I personally never expected to be in the papers. The height of my ambition for these books was, well frankly, to get reviewed. A lot of children's books don't even get reviewed.. forget good review, bad review. Personally, no, I never expected to be in the papers so it's an odd experience when it happens to you .
I'll never tell a lie. I'll never make a misleading statement. I'll never betray the confidence that any of you had in me. And I'll never avoid a controversial issue.
I never expected to be a model. I never expected to be a stylist. Or a designer.
I never expected it to happen, and it had nothing to do with why I supported [Hillary] Trump, the fact that he was going to [prosecute Hillary Clinton]. If he did it, it was gonna be icing on the cake for me, but I never expected him to do it.
