We live in a classist, racist, homophobic society into which we are very assimilated, that's all. I'm not really proud about that.
Usually, I'm only sad when something sad happens. I am not a melancholic person. I like to live very much in the present. If I was an animal, I'd be a little cat. They like to live life.
Yes, I am sad, sad as a circus-lioness, sad as an eagle without wings, sad as a violin with only one string and that one broken, sad as a woman who is growing old. Sad, sad, sad.
It's very depressing to live in a time where it's easier to break an atom than a prejudice.
I don't really do sad, depressing songs.
I think it is kind of depressing how few female filmmakers there are. I think it is in general depressing how few women there are in ... important positions in society
We live in a very masculine society, a very patriarchal society, still. So we also have the benefit of the experience of that society. We're not coming from 'women's world' into filmmaking, we're coming from 'the world.'
A very narrow income has a tendency to contract the mind, and sour the temper. Those who can barely live, and who live perforce in a very small, and generally very inferior, society, may well be illiberal and cross.
It is sad to witness the persistence in our society of the racism and xenophobia that seems to be a permanent part of our political culture. It is shameful to see politicians exploiting these human weaknesses in order to gain political power. It is most depressing of all to contemplate a future in which politicians who do this will continue to have influence over people's lives.
It was depressing, very depressing. I worried about how I would make a living. I didn't want to stay on the farm. It didn't offer the challenge I wanted and yet, without a college education, I felt that I was really out of luck.
Every video from Russia is depressing, it's like they have their cameras set to sad.
I think that the tendency for most people is to fall back on a comic interpretation of things because things are so sad, so terrible. If you didn't laugh you'd kill yourself. But the truth of the matter is that existence in general is very very tragic, very very sad, very brutal and very unhappy.
With sad, depressing predictability, the children of today's underclass become tomorrow's criminals and dropouts.
If I'm trying to get into character and it's an emotional scene, I'll listen to depressing or really sad music.
As someone who was once in the closet, I can tell you it is the most sad, dark, awful, depressing place to ever be.
I enjoy being recognized. I'll be very sad if people stop recognizing me. I'll be very sad if I'm not interviewed, because that's a very amazing process.
