A Quote by Neil Gaiman

I am selfish, private and easily bored. Will this be a problem? — © Neil Gaiman
I am selfish, private and easily bored. Will this be a problem?
I get bored really easily. I get bored with people really easily. I get bored with routine easily. I don’t like things that are average, or normal. I care if I have the best – in the world about that - just wanting that great light that everybody looks at and goes ‘Ahhh’. I feel like that’s what I’ve found in my partner.
If I am not moving I get bored very easily.
I get bored easily. I've been bored most of my life.
I'm so bored of tribal politics. That's part of the problem. I'm so bored of it. I'm not a tribalist. That's not what turns me on.
Oh, I will be cruel to you, Marya Morevna. It will stop your breath, how cruel I can be. But you understand, don’t you? You are clever enough. I am a demanding creature. I am selfish and cruel and extremely unreasonable. But I am your servant. When you starve I will feed you; when you are sick I will tend you. I crawl at your feet; for before your love, your kisses, I am debased. For you alone I will be weak.
I take risks because I get bored. And I get bored very easily.
Every reform was once a private opinion, and when it shall be a private opinion again, it will solve the problem of the age.
I am rarely bored alone; I am often bored in groups and crowds.
If I love myself I will express that love in my interactions with you, and then I am being impeccable with the word, because that action will produce a like reaction. If I love you, then you will love me. If I insult you, you will insult me. If I have gratitude for you , you will have gratitude for me. If I'm selfish with you, you will be selfish with me.
I mused for a few moments on the question of which was worse, to lead a life so boring that you are easily enchanted, or a life so full of stimulus that you are easily bored.
You will think me cruel, very selfish, but love is always selfish; the more ardent the more selfish. How jealous I am you cannot know. You must come with me, loving me, to death; or else hate me, and still come with me, and hating me through death and after. There is no such word as indifference in my apathetic nature.
Listen to me: I never married because I was too easily bored. It's an awful, self-defeating trait to have. It's much better to be too easily interested.
I'm bored way too easily. I'm staring at screens half the day. I need to be overstimulated. And how will that express itself artistically?
My private life is private. But at the same time, I have nothing to hide. So what I will say is that I am very happy.
After all, I don't see why I am always asking for private, individual, selfish miracles when every year there are miracles like white dogwood.
People have it so good in America that they get bored very easily. And when people get bored they start protesting things.
