In the ideal sense nothing is uninteresting; there are only uninterested people.

Brooks Atkinson

My creative process begins when I get out with the camera and interact with the world. A camera is truly a license to explore. There are no uninteresting things. There are just uninterested people.

Jerry Uelsmann

There is no such thing on earth as an uninteresting subject; the only thing that can exist is an uninterested person.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

I like photographs of anything uninteresting. Maybe just two doors on a wall... The point is to be uninteresting.

Robert Rauschenberg

There is no such thing on earth as an uninteresting subject; the only thing that can exist is an uninterested person. Nothing is more keenly required than a defence of bores. When Byron divided humanity into the bores and bored, he omitted to notice that the higher qualities exist entirely in the bores, the lower qualities in the bored, among whom he counted himself. The bore, by his starry enthusiasm, his solemn happiness, may, in some sense, have proved himself poetical. The bored has certainly proved himself prosaic.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

The only thing worse than having a party that no one attends is having a party attended only by two vastly, deeply uninteresting people.

John Green

I knew that the world around you is only uninteresting if you can't see what is really going on. The place you come from is always the most exotic place you'll ever encounter because it is the only place where you recognise how many secrets and mysteries there are in people's lives

David Malouf

Adam Driver

How uninteresting interesting things can become.

Robert Walser

He was, as Billy Name said in the acclaimed Ric Burns documentary about Andy Warhol, uninterested in being a second-tier artist. He was uninterested in being a first-tier artist! He wanted to be, you know, a god. Someone who completely changed the...he wanted to be Zeus with the lightning bolt and nothing less would have satisfied him.

Bob Colacello

I can't bear to be around people who are bland or bored or uninterested (or to employ them).

Anita Roddick

I think politicians who suggest they are uninterested in the support of newspapers are not being straight with people.

Douglas Alexander

They [the children] live in a world of delightful imagination; they pursue persons and objects that never existed; they make an Argosy laden with gold out of a floating butterfly,--and these stupid [grown-up people] try to translate these things into uninteresting facts.
