Armando Iannucci

As tempting as it seems to wear tennis shoes with your tux, don’t do it. I think it looks ridiculous. If you’re 14 years old, maybe give it a shot. In general, don’t portray anything that says ‘I’m too cool and I don’t care.’

Isabelle Adjani
153

Carlo Collodi
162
The worst thing you can do as a comedy director is be on set and think of something ridiculous, or an actor comes up to you with something ridiculous, and you say ‘No, no that’s too much.’ Let’s not worry if that’s too much, let’s shoot it, and then decide if that’s too much when we see it.

Ronda Rousey
166

I knew I wanted to be an engineer, but I didn’t know what type of engineer. I chose electrical engineering primarily because it was the hardest one to get into. It’s ridiculous when I think about it now, but it worked out OK.
Steve Mollenkopf
170
But the fact that same-sex marriage is still an issue is insane. Thinking love knows a sex is ridiculous.
Garret Dillahunt
171
Letting go of things and not being afraid of being ridiculous or over the top – I think that’s the main thing for me to work on.
Charlotte Gainsbourg
172
I was in Sweden for 10 days. They put me on the front page of the daily papers eight days in a row. I did nothing to warrant any of the attention. It was ridiculous.
Johnny Thunders
173
My parents were very open about what kind of talent I had. They never pushed me to become an accountant because they knew that would be just absolutely ridiculous. So they were encouraging in what I am able to do with some success.
Grace Slick
174
I know how ridiculous this sounds because of the job I do but I don’t believe in romanticism and make-believe.
Laura Marling
175
In this industry there’s this ridiculous connotation with women shows that’s it’s got to be difficult, and it’s not true.
Holly Marie Combs
176
I sometimes wonder, the tendency for anybody, especially when you’re with friends and you’re in the trenches, is to laugh at the stuff that you interpret as ridiculous or silly, and to grouch about the things that you interpret as not being good. That to me isn’t morale, that’s just like getting through the day.
Christopher Daniels
177
I truly believe that women should be financially independent from their men. And let’s face it, money gives men the power to run the show. It gives men the power to define value. They define what’s sexy. And men define what’s feminine. It’s ridiculous.
Beyonce Knowles
178
I’m sure in the history of Harvard, and the history of most schools, there’s been some pretty crazy parties that I’m not even sure you could even capture on film how silly and ridiculous they were.
Cameron Winklevoss
179
Losing produces a weird reaction in me. I surrender all sense of perspective. It’s ridiculous, really. All this over a football match.
Harry Redknapp
180
The mere mention of domestic service brings some people out in spots of outrage, but there is a crying need for relatively low-level employment. It’s ridiculous that people at the top are killing themselves in demanding jobs and then coming home to mow their own lawns.
David Starkey
181
I’m actually rubbish at selfies. I always feel a bit ridiculous doing it unless I’m with a bunch of friends, where I’ll usually stand at the back with a huge grin on my face!
Poppy Delevingne
182
I think, whenever you’re doing anything, you don’t want anyone anywhere to watch it and think that what your character is doing is ridiculous. You don’t want anyone to watch it and go, ‘Oh my God, that’s just fortuitous.’
Claire Foy
183
I think, specifically with the horror genre, you have to make it very believable because it can come across ridiculous.
Maika Monroe
184
I was just having fun because everybody was so much shorter than me. Honestly, my stats in high school were ridiculous. They made no sense.
Marc Gasol
185
I have this ridiculous idea that art should just be for everyone, and everyone should get to enjoy art and it shouldn’t be this exclusive thing.
Zoe Buckman
186
I often look ridiculous in Japan. There’s really no way to eat in Japan, particularly kaiseki in a traditional ryokan, without offending the Japanese horribly. Every gesture, every movement is just so atrociously wrong, and the more I try, the more hilarious it is.
Anthony Bourdain
187
It’s my job to be ridiculous.
Stromae
188
It’s ridiculous. My life’s been a series of happy accidents.
Lucas Neff
189
There’s nothing that winds me up more on Twitter than people who are stupid, and who say the most ridiculous things.
Phillip Schofield
190
My favorite tweets are the, ‘I used to like and then you said this,’ ‘I used to like you then you suggested that president Trump was not the savior of all of us.’ It’s absolutely ridiculous.
Kat Timpf
191
A single woman with a very narrow income must be a ridiculous, disagreeable old maid – the proper sport of boys and girls; but a single woman of good fortune is always respectable, and may be as sensible and pleasant as anybody else.
Jane Austen
192
I like going absurd pretty quickly. You don’t waste any time when you’re doing theater of the ridiculous.
Stephen Karam
193
What a piece of garbage this smart car is. There’s a commercial – the smart car has zero percent interest for six years. Well, good, I got zero percent in six years in buying this smart car. I’ll tell you that much. I mean, it’s ridiculous. My buddy has a smart car, totaled it. He hit a deer tick.
Larry the Cable Guy
194
My mom used to say that if someone woke her up in the middle of the night and asked how old she was, she’d answer 27. Hearing her, I’d think, ‘That’s ridiculous; your job as my mom is to be old.’
Jennifer Egan
195
People like Nick Cave – that ridiculous, over-the-top doom, taking it to extremes – I find it uplifting because it’s like someone else is feeling what you’re feeling and putting it into their music. Someone expressing extreme joy is just as valuable; it’s just the fact that they’re expressing their soul through music.
Matt Bellamy
196
We’ll never move beyond oil until we stop rewarding oil companies with ridiculous taxpayer subsidies and start making them pay for the harm they cause our families and our planet.
Sheldon Whitehouse
197
I have never used my family name to ‘cash-in.’ Unfortunately, such ridiculous charges come with the territory of coming from a famous and public family.
Neil Bush
198
I tend to sit around with my friends a lot and rant and rave about things I think are ridiculous in the world, and I tend to make fun of myself a lot.
Tom Green
199
An actor should be ready to play any role within reason. For example, I think the most ridiculous thing for me to do would be to try and play Shakespeare.
Glenn Ford
200
I can’t be described as a sex symbol; I think it’s ridiculous.
Tom Mison
201
It took a long while for me to know that I’m beautiful. I remember going through this phase when I was younger of wanting to pass by mirrors and not look at them. That was so ridiculous. I’ve learned now that beauty starts from within.
Kelly Rowland
202
My husband is a martial artist, and he thinks it’s hilarious that I have a stage-fighting-proficiency certificate. He thinks that’s ridiculous. Can’t say I’ve used it much.
Lesley Nicol
203
I have this theory that, depending on your attitude, your life doesn’t have to become this ridiculous charade that it seems so many people end up living.
Christian Bale
204
I’m a very lazy person by nature. I have to be really engaged, and then I go straight from lazy to obsessive. I couldn’t study chemistry, but I could memorize all the books for Dungeons and Dragons. It was ridiculous. The trick is to find what I like to do.
Jon Favreau
205
I spend a ridiculous amount on pots, lilacs, and alliums.
Emma Healey
206
It’s not like I’m anti-China. I just think it’s ridiculous that we allow them to do what they’re doing to this country, with the manipulation of the currency, that you write about and understand, and all of the other things that they do.
Donald Trump
207
We have a ridiculous amount of material.
Mike McCready
208
Among the many things that I loved about playing football was sitting around the locker room with teammates and poking fun at each other with sophomoric slams, each one more ridiculous than the next.
Mark Schlereth
209
Affectation is certain deformity; by forming themselves on fantastic models, the young begin with being ridiculous, and often end in being vicious.
Robert Blair
210
People in Northern Ireland vote for their church, they don’t vote with their heads; it is ridiculous.
Frank Carson
211
I’ve been interested in acting since the age of 10. But as you grow up, when someone asks you what you want to become, you learn to answer it with a ‘doctor/ engineer/astronaut’ and your real dream of wanting to be an actor starts sounding ridiculous even to yourself.
Shraddha Srinath
212
Some people say I’ve got a five-octave range, which is ridiculous. That would mean I’d sing like Mariah Carey or that alien in ‘The Fifth Element.’ And I’m nothing like that blue alien. I’ve got a range of about 3 1/2 octaves.
Mika
213
I have seen Tommy Emanuel play; my wife and I went to see him and he just melted my face off. How do you play guitar like that? There are so many people that play at a ridiculous level and I sit there watching them and I’m like, ‘Wow, wish I could do that.’
John Petrucci
214
My dad always taught me never to give up in my mind. You can never really beat me. It sounds ridiculous, but I will always come back for you. You can’t beat someone who never gives up. I could lose 100 times to you, but I will always get you. I will die trying. This applies not only to swimming but to my life as well.
Chad le Clos
215
I would never withhold information about the murder of my man Biggie, or anybody else. It’s just silly and ridiculous. The accusations are just flying out. All I’ve been trying to do all my life is to make great music.
Sean Combs
216
A great philosopher has stated that the worst evil of poverty is, that it makes folks ridiculous; by which, I hope, he only means that, as in the above case, it places them in incongruous positions.
James Payn
217
There is only one step from the sublime to the ridiculous.
Napoleon Bonaparte
218
If you think about it now, it’s kind of ridiculous. All these hot girls on Baywatch in tiny little red bathing suits running around saving lives.
Carmen Electra
219
We confess our bad qualities to others out of fear of appearing naive or ridiculous by not being aware of them.
Gerald Brenan
220
If you’ve had a marriage that ended because of a betrayal in trust on your spouse’s behalf, the idea of trusting another person with your heart can seem completely ridiculous.
Emily V. Gordon
221
When I see this, you know, ‘Crooked Hillary,’ or I see the, ‘Lock her up,’ it’s just ridiculous. It is ridiculous. But I just – you know – it is beneath the character of the kind of dialogue we should have. Because we got real serious problems to solve. And look, most of us stopped the name-calling thing about fifth grade.
Tim Kaine
222
Sometimes, by using the most over-the-top, ridiculous plot device you can imagine, you get some interesting little conflicts and cool things that you might not otherwise have a chance to explore.
G. Willow Wilson
223
I’m one of those guys that – as far as relationships and stuff go – if you smile at me, I’m like, ‘Let’s date for three years’ – which is just ridiculous.
Norman Reedus
224
Hold everybody accountable? Ridiculous!
W. Edwards Deming
225
We know no spectacle so ridiculous as the British public in one of its periodical fits of morality.
Thomas Babington Macaulay
226
Suggesting that just because someone who is on the telly has a superior moral viewpoint to someone who say, shelf stacks at Aldi is ridiculous.
Alan Carr
227
Ah, political physics. Someone wins an election and, poof, they are a candidate for vice president. Ridiculous.
Mark McKinnon
228
To this day, I remember vividly Missy Elliott, Ludacris, and my grandma riding in a golf cart to set. My grandma went back to Ohio and told her bowling friends, ‘Guess what? I was riding to set with Missy and Ridiculous!’
Alyson Stoner
229
I think everyone knows the news has become ridiculous. It’s entertainment driven.
Adam McKay
230
The Bond situations to me are so ridiculous, so outrageous. I mean, this man is supposed to be a spy, and yet everybody knows he’s a spy.
Roger Moore
231
I think the criticism Coach Greg Jackson gets is ridiculous and it makes me angry.
Cub Swanson
232
When I jumped off a roof in Cannes in a bee costume, I looked ridiculous. But this is my business; I have to humiliate myself.
Jerry Seinfeld
233
I’m extremely self-critical. Although I try not to be ridiculous about it, wearing horsehair shirts and all that. It’s a private exercise I don’t necessarily share with other people.
Gina McKee
234
I told my psychiatrist that everyone hates me. He said I was being ridiculous – everyone hasn’t met me yet.
Rodney Dangerfield
235
I mean, dear old ‘Bergerac’, or dear young ‘Bergerac’ as he was then, he had a gammy leg, he was going through a nasty divorce with his wife, he was a recovering alcoholic, it’s a wonder he can get up in the morning let alone solve any crimes. And he also had to drive that ridiculous car.
John Nettles
236
To think that there’s one version of a man is ridiculous.
Riley Stearns
237
It’s ridiculous to have to base your relationship on money.
Goldie Hawn
238
You’ve seen my statements; I do very well. I don’t mind paying some taxes. The middle class is getting clobbered in this country. You know the middle class built this country, not the hedge fund guys, but I know people in hedge funds that pay almost nothing, and it’s ridiculous, OK?
Donald Trump
239
It’s a humorous statement that doesn’t mean anything. You can’t lie to God – it’s ridiculous.
Jimmy Swaggart
240
Divorce is so common and accepted in America that beating myself up over it may sound ridiculous. But I was raised to believe that divorce wasn’t an option; to me, divorce equaled failure. I wasn’t able to change that equation until I found myself in the right relationship.
Trisha Yearwood
241
As a child, I’d help my mum cook, and it was ridiculous – she had the correct gadget or utensil for everything. ‘Stop! Don’t use that, I have exactly the right utensil.’ After I left home, I survived on cup-a-meals and never saw myself as being like her. Now I’ve become her.
Kelis
242
I am not defined as a black writer in the Caribbean, but as soon as I go to America or the U.K., my place becomes black theatre. It’s a little ridiculous.
Derek Walcott
243
I collect art, and I drink wine… things that I like that I had never been exposed to. But I never said, ‘I’m going to buy art to impress this crowd.’ That’s just ridiculous to me. I don’t live my life like that, because how could you be happy with yourself?
Jay-Z
244
Some people criticize North Koreans and ask, ‘Are they stupid? How can they believe those ridiculous things?’ But I say, It doesn’t matter if you’re smart: if you were born in North Korea, you would be exactly like us. We don’t know what freedom is. We have never enjoyed it.
Lee Hyeon-seo
245
The great thing about celebrity culture is that they can’t seem to stop themselves from displaying their ridiculous behaviour. I feel it’s my job as a serious investigative journalist to witness all kinds of behaviour and then report back to the audience through the prism of my own anger and bitterness.
Kathy Griffin
246
A lot of independent films try to pull off a 14-day shooting schedule, which I think is ridiculous. No matter how big or small you are, it really kills whatever sort of time you get to allow the actors to find their characters, and to spend time to think about what they’re doing.
Sean Baker
247
There’s this ridiculous idea that I’m a gender traitor because I’m not a feminist. I’m supposed to be part of a sisterhood: you’re automatically supposed to support all women just because you have the same genitals as them, which doesn’t make sense.
Lauren Southern
248
Overall when you work in fashion, you’re always in a rush. You’re always a little late, always in a hurry. Every single moment’s important, so you never have enough time to do what you want to do. It’s ridiculous.
Ines de La Fressange
249
The book that meant most to me was ‘The Wind in the Willows.’ It sounds ridiculous, but that was my vision of England.
Justin Cartwright
250
What makes me laugh is ‘Masterchef,’ with that ridiculous thing they always say, ‘cooking doesn’t get any tougher than this!.’
Prue Leith
251
Some of the stage outfits I’ve got are ridiculous. I’ll lay out clothes to pack, and it’ll look like Polly Pocket clothing – because it’s all stretchy, it’s tiny. I don’t need a case when I tour; I can fit it all in my handbag.
Jessie J
252
It was kind of ridiculous to carry it up to a certain point and then drop the ball or the bomb, like quitting the band right after we had signed to Virgin.
Elliott Smith
253
My wife’s jealousy is getting ridiculous. The other day she looked at my calendar and wanted to know who May was.
Rodney Dangerfield
254
I’ll tell you one thing, since I’m married, single people look absolutely ridiculous to me.
Jerry Seinfeld
255
My love of Seagal is ridiculous. Like, I love this man. I love how ridiculous he is. I mean, he made an album called ‘Songs From The Crystal Cave.’
El-P
256
Sometimes life gives us lessons sent in ridiculous packaging.
Dar Williams
257
I know North Korea is the most ridiculous country in the world, but for me, my mum, my brother, and my families and old memories are so important.
Lee Hyeon-seo
258
When I realise that I don’t have a lot of time left to do what I’m meant to do in terms of buying things, that’s when things begin to feel Christmassy for me – when I realise that time is against me, and I’ve got to act; otherwise, I’ll look ridiculous.
Matt Berry
259
I have a family I love. They tend to say, ‘Great job!’ Or ‘You work really hard! Good for you!’ Or ‘You look nice today!’ Or ‘Don’t be ridiculous, order the fries!’ Or ‘You are hilarious.’ That’s all the family I need.
Sia
260
I just don’t think CGI is up to manipulating the human face yet. I feel like you can get away with it with aliens or monsters or something that’s intentionally foreign, but I have yet to see anything digital to do with the human face that doesn’t just look ridiculous.
Rian Johnson
261
The pursuit of happiness is a most ridiculous phrase: if you pursue happiness you’ll never find it.
Carrie Snow
262
Why would it be ridiculous that Quebec has an army?
Gilles Duceppe
263
The left claims that Republicans hate Hispanics, which is just the most ludicrous thing I’ve ever heard, and the right just claims all we need to do is close the borders and do nothing else, which is also ridiculous.
Raul Labrador
264
Oscar night is a ridiculous night where you go to these parties and you see everyone that you’ve ever wanted to work with and admire.
Jordana Brewster
265
I can still remember my mum (a voracious, if not discriminating, reader – I have seen everything from the sublime to the ridiculous by her bed, from Ian Rankin and Elmore Leonard to Barbara Cartland and James Patterson) taking me to get my library card when I was four and not yet at school.
John Niven
266
Any fighter, at the end of the day, that says it’s not about the money is ridiculous. We wouldn’t be training this hard, putting our bodies on the line, and torturing our bodies if there wasn’t a payday at the end of the day.
Bobby Lashley
267
Now I find seriousness to be rather ridiculous.
Brie Larson
268
My dreams as a kid were so far below the Grammys, like, maybe selling out a show, or, like, seeing your album on a shelf in an Urban Outfitters… and the Grammys are so far above that. It’s very ridiculous.
Finneas
269
I apologize in my real life all the time. I say ridiculous things, I make mistakes constantly. But when I’m on stage, I’m at a microphone… it’s a joke!
Kathy Griffin
270
There is always something ridiculous about the emotions of people whom one has ceased to love.
Oscar Wilde
271
Some people get very successful for something they’re very cynical about – like Alec Guinness in ‘Star Wars.’ He thought it was ridiculous. Whereas for me, I’m so proud of ‘Stranger Things.’ I’m so proud of everyone’s work in it. And it’s become so successful. So for those two to meet is incredible.
David Harbour
272
I think that giving mindless praise is ridiculous. But I understand why parents do it. They want their kids to feel good about themselves. But parents are never going to teach their children true, positive self esteem by praising everything they do.
Rosalind Wiseman
273
There are some women who have made some really hurting remarks about my relationship with my husband Himanshu Malhotra. They even dared to ask me if I have divorced him just because I don’t put my pictures with him too often. Now that is really ridiculous!
Amruta Khanvilkar
274
Rock ‘n’ roll is ridiculous. It’s absurd. In the past, U2 was trying to duck that. Now we’re wrapping our arms around it and giving it a great big kiss.
Bono
275
You can’t just buy things for the label – it’s ridiculous.
Roberto Cavalli
276
I watch too many crime shows – it’s ridiculous.
Rhea Ripley
277
Gamer humor ranges all over the place. What it comes down to is taking a lot of what we see in gaming and we’re familiar with in gaming and being like, ‘OK, hold on, let’s re-examine this for a second. Isn’t this funny? Isn’t this strange? Isn’t this a little bit ridiculous?’ That’s where it is.
Freddie Wong
278
People don’t mind being mean; but they never want to be ridiculous.
Moliere
279
As most doctors will tell you, cleansing is ridiculous. You know what’s been around longer than that state-of-the-art juicer? Your kidneys. And your liver. Still, the cleanse has recalibrated my definition of a splurge.
Sloane Crosley
280
I have ideas every day, and if I’m not carrying a pad of paper, I’m typing it into the notes thing on my iPhone, and it’s just ridiculous – idle hands are the devil’s plaything, and I can’t be the devil’s plaything. I got to be the devil; I got to be the guy making it all happen.
Corey Taylor
281
For instance, I have never believed that there is only one person for each person in the world. It doesn’t make the least sense to me. However, in reality, I fell in love at 45 and I am absolutely certain that my now husband is the only man in the world for me, a truth I find both ridiculous and uplifting.
Philippa Gregory
282
If I have one thing perfect, it’s my eyebrows. And my feet. I love my feet. They’re like Japanese feet. The rest I would like to hide. Especially my freckles. I feel ridiculous.
Emmanuelle Beart
283
As a Jewish refugee from the Soviet Union, I felt it was ridiculous to expect me to atone for the sins of slavery and segregation, to say nothing of the household drudgery and workplace discrimination suffered by women.
Max Boot
284
As ridiculous as I think the fashion and beauty industry is, I’m wildly obsessed with it.
Grace Helbig
285
This is a ridiculous heat wave we’re in right now, and to contribute, Newt Gingrich said that for the entire month of June, he will stop blowing hot air.
Bill Maher
286
The entire world is skewed from the white male perspective. If you’re a woman, they have to say it’s a female-driven comedy. If it’s a comedy with Latinos in it, it’s a Latino comedy. ‘Normal’ is white male, and I find that to be shocking and ridiculous.
Shonda Rhimes
287
The prices are ridiculous… I don’t see how people can go back and forth to work or to school. How can we afford the gas?
Dorothy Thompson
288
I’m a dad now and whatever I’m doing in life I usually put a lot of effort into it – usually too much effort, so it kind of comes off ridiculous at times.
Jeremy Sisto
289
I was exposed to a mix of cultures, lots of different religions and beliefs. I was a spiritual kid and went to Indian powwows and Buddhist temples. But over a period of time, with reading and thinking, I started to feel it was all so absurd: The whole idea of life after death is ridiculous.
Harvey Fierstein
290
‘I’ll Tumble 4 Ya’ has to be one of the most ridiculous hit singles that any international superstars have given the world.
Rob Sheffield
291
When I was a crusade director in British Columbia, all of our meetings were at 9:03. Somebody said ‘That’s ridiculous. Why did you do that?’ It’s because you remember it. You’ve never been to another 9:03 meeting.
Josh McDowell
292
I was a scapegoat. The media had to put responsibility on somebody, and I was chosen. They felt free to say that because someone was thin they were anorexic, which is ridiculous.
Kate Moss
293
I felt like I had to be, you know, perfect, which is ridiculous. Nobody’s perfect.
Elizabeth Vargas
294
The country is provincial; it becomes ridiculous when it tries to ape Paris.
Honore de Balzac
295
I like Hindi movies. Although my wife thinks the hero and heroine breaking into a song and dance every five minutes is ridiculous, but I find them entertaining.
Anish Giri
296
For someone to say I am overweight is completely ridiculous.
Lindsey Vonn
297
I really want to learn how to rap. I know it sounds utterly ridiculous!
Stana Katic
298
I’m really looking forward to a time when generations after us look back and say how ridiculous it was that humans were driving cars.
Sebastian Thrun
299
The testing levels have become ridiculous. All they show is contamination, and they have really put the trainers’ heads on the chopping blocks. It hurts racing.
Bob Baffert
300
My sister does all this community-service type stuff in Portland that makes the world a much better place. And I make as much in a two-day commercial shoot as she does in five years, which is ridiculous.
Alex Honnold
301
Some years ago, I was invited to speak in Houston, Texas. They said I was a founder of ‘postmodern theatre’. So I said to my office, ‘This is ridiculous for me to go and speak about postmodern theatre when I don’t know what it means, but… they’re paying me a lot of money, so I’ll go.’
Robert Wilson
302
Gaga the person is much like Gaga the celebrity. She is very sweet, loyal, and funny with her fans, and she is very sweet, loyal, and funny with her friends. On stage, she is over-the-top, ridiculous, dirty, and genuine on stage, and she is very over-the-top, ridiculous, dirty, and genuine with her friends.
Justin Tranter
303
With the first ‘Hatchet,’ I had an epic battle with the ratings board. They kept giving the movie an NC-17. There is absolutely no way that movie should have gotten an NC-17. All the gore in it is so ridiculous and over-the-top that you can’t take it seriously.
Adam Green
304
I think beauty comes from within, and society paints a ridiculous picture.
Rachel Bilson
305
I have been pregnant in so many movies it’s ridiculous.
Jennifer Aniston
306
Sometimes I see people writing the most ridiculous things about me.
Rita Ora
307
I’ve always felt it’s ridiculous to say, of any of the females in my life: You’re my friend, you’re my wife, you’re my girlfriend, you’re my co-worker. This is your box, and you’re not allowed to stray outside of it.
Jack White
308
When things are difficult, awful, stressful, the thing that always gets you through is a sense of humour. I don’t mean – well, maybe I do – laugh at the hangman as he puts the noose around your neck. But an eye, an ear, for the ridiculous, the absurd in life, can get you through a lot.
Paul Merton
309
Poles and Jews have been living on this land together for almost 1,000 years. Who can tell how much Jewish blood is in their veins? Nobody knows, so to talk about how to recognize if someone is Jewish is ridiculous.
Andrzej Duda
310
I just go out and sing my songs. I don’t put on elaborate stage shows with ridiculous fancy dress.
Amy Macdonald
311
To send our troops, our ships, our planes to this war is ridiculous.
John Hewson
312
A frustration I have is that a lot of people increasingly seem to equate an advertising business model with somehow being out of alignment with your customers. I think it’s the most ridiculous concept.
Mark Zuckerberg
313
Racism is ridiculous no matter where it’s coming from.
Alan Ball
314
People always want to think that because you’re not from a certain circumstance, you can’t relate. That’s ridiculous.
Hill Harper
315
Reality really is theater. There’s no other way to describe it. It’s all so nonsensical, ridiculous and chaotic.
Joe Rogan
316
The Left only worries about people who don’t want to work; they could care less. They cater more to people who are here illegally, and they care more about the feelings of countries that would love to see us wiped off the face of the Earth than they do hard-working Americans. It’s ridiculous.
Donald Trump, Jr.
317
There are these boutique writers out there who think if they are not writing their novels sitting at a bistro with their laptops, then they’re not real writers. That’s ridiculous.
Rick Bragg
318
The ridiculous way that workplace politics are conducted completely gets in the way of excellence in America.
Theresa Rebeck
319
The awards world can be ridiculous, but I’m not one to bash it. I love awards! When I’ve been nominated for Emmys and when I won my DGA Award, I couldn’t have been happier. I always liked getting a gold star in class.
Paul Feig
320
That’s a difficult question, because to consider yourself a rebel is sort of ridiculous.
Shirley Manson
321
Italian wines don’t have to be expensive to be good. It is absolutely ridiculous that people feel that have to spend a fortune.
Gino D’Acampo
322
I’d rather write a check than make myself look ridiculous.
Rocky Wirtz
323
‘District 9’, ‘Elysium’ and ‘Chappie’ were all born out of some visual concept first. ‘Chappie’ is the imagery, because I think I’m a visual person first, of this ridiculous robot character. It’s much more comedy based and in an unusual setting.
Neill Blomkamp
324
Yeah, so I have, like, a YouTube channel where I kind of use my engineering background to make sort of ridiculous things.
Mark Rober
325
I think the family is the place where the most ridiculous and least respectable things in the world go on.
Ugo Betti
326
‘Zorn’ goes to some pretty ridiculous places, but the real comedy is coming from these little observations about life that are not as outlandish as some of the bigger moves in the story. This is a guy who has magical relics and fights weird monsters and is also dealing with very basic work and family things.
Phil Lord
327
I am totally against the idea that a Muslim woman should not have the same opportunities as a Muslim man to learn, to open up, to work, help shape the future. To close Islam down to a sexist approach is totally intolerable and ridiculous. It’s not Islam.
Hussein of Jordan
328
We love to commiserate and troubleshoot and prepare for the worst, and gratitude yanks us out of that and reminds us of the ridiculous amount of infinite blessings that are around us at all times.
Jen Sincero
329
Basically I’m a female human being with brown hair, enjoy precision, reading the news, eating delicious food with my delicious friends and laughing at ridiculous things that don’t translate while you are desperately trying to make them.
Tig Notaro
330
Retirement at sixty-five is ridiculous. When I was sixty-five I still had pimples.
George Burns
331
I don’t even know how much money I’ve spent on all of this stuff… Just in plates and bars alone, it’s literally a ridiculous amount of money I’ve spent on those. And to me it doesn’t matter. It’s money that I’ve gladly spent.
Brian Shaw
332
There’s nobody like us in rock history. I’m not saying we’re the greatest band in the world – that would be ridiculous.
Steve Lukather
333
My biggest vice is playing solitaire on my iPad. It’s bad. I mean, it’s ridiculous.
Diane von Furstenberg
334
I’ve learned in my years as a journalist that when a politician says ‘That’s ridiculous’ you’re probably on the right track.
Amy Goodman
335
It seems ridiculous that you can be in one state with your driver’s license and buy a firearm, and then in the next state it is totally illegal. There are real problems to that, but as soon as you bring up the subject and say ‘gun control,’ it sets a red flag.
Joe Perry
336
I like Roy Orbison’s video for ‘I Drove All Night’ because it’s so literal. It is just a man driving throughout the night. I like that silliness. To be in a video is a ridiculous thing. It’s almost impossible to do it without any humour.
Richard Ayoade
337
My original perception of wrestling was not a very positive one. I didn’t understand it at all, and I thought it was kind of silly and ridiculous. But as I got to know it, it was sort of like how people used to talk about musicals, to me, when I was younger.
Betty Gilpin
338
Uncle Fester always intrigued me. I certainly always enjoyed his kind of humor. He’s just full of mischief in a kind of macabre way. I don’t see anything twisted about it. It’s sort of ridiculous and wacky. It’s sort of fun.
Christopher Lloyd
339
Mitt Romney saying that Barack Obama gets an F is one of the most ridiculous things that he has said in this race.
Stephanie Cutter
340
I often feel a discomfort, a kind of embarrassment, when I explain elementary-particle physics to laypeople. It all seems so arbitrary – the ridiculous collection of fundamental particles, the lack of pattern to their masses.
Leonard Susskind
341
I think fashion is repulsive. The whole idea that someone else can make clothing that is supposed to be in style and make other people look good is ridiculous. It sickens me to think that there is an industry that plays to the low self-esteem of the general public. I would like the fashion industry to collapse.
Steve Albini
342
When I had jobs, I was always doing manual jobs because I couldn’t think. I worked at the docks, unloading trucks, and did ridiculous jobs.
Dito Montiel
343
When I was 17, a neighbour I knew well died of cancer, and I became au pair to her three little girls. In circumstances like that, when you can’t really help, I think it’s a human response to do something beyond oneself. So I did a sponsored parachute jump for Cancer Research. It was exciting and ridiculous.
Tamsin Greig
344
I was a scapegoat. The media had to put responsibility on somebody, and I was chosen. They felt free to say that because someone was thin they were anorexic, which is ridiculous.
Kate Moss
345
We talk about players of yesteryear, guys who could play or couldn’t play, and I think it’s ridiculous to try to even compare people… The things that you can do in basketball today that you couldn’t even do then… you can carry the ball; you walk all over the place.
Jerry West
346
I spent ridiculous amounts of time as an activist and volunteer and was a teacher for 20 years.
Johann Lamont
347
I’ve found myself at one in the morning just sitting at my desk spending an hour returning emails from the day until like two in the morning. It’s ridiculous, I should be sleeping, or dreaming, or reading a novel.
Brit Marling
348
And I love Jennifer Lawrence. She’s a total fox. And such a good actress. It’s ridiculous.
Evan Peters
349
They have so fundamentally flawed techniques it’s ridiculous. They shoot the ball flat. They all stand upright, there’s just so many things they do incorrectly.
Rick Barry
350
My wife loves ‘Scandal,’ and I’m hooked on ‘Homeland.’ Sometimes I ask news makers, off the record, what rings true about those shows and what’s ridiculous.
David Gregory
351
I tried perming my hair by myself in lockdown. It came out looking ridiculous – my hair was so damaged and crispy.
Nigel Ng
352
Frankly, most of my friends hold very different political beliefs. It’s just a funny thing in this country that supposedly you can’t sit down and have dinner and enjoy another person’s company if you don’t have the same beliefs. It’s ridiculous.
Patricia Heaton
353
Comedy’s my outlet for my ridiculous emotions.
Michael Che
354
I get asked a lot why Apple’s customers are so loyal. It’s not because they belong to the Church of Mac! That’s ridiculous.
Steve Jobs
355
I think it’s ridiculous when people say, ‘I don’t date actors.’ It’s about the right person, and no matter what that right person does for a profession, they’re still going to be the right person.
Rob McClure
356
I would love to be doing more voice-over work. It’s such a fun and free playground to take risks, play around, and get sort of ridiculous.
Ari Graynor
357
To criticize a person for their race is manifestly irrational and ridiculous, but to criticize their religion, that is a right. That is a freedom.
Rowan Atkinson
358
I think Cate Blanchett always gets it right. She seems very natural and wears interesting but not ridiculous clothes – she seems to push the boundaries just enough.
Deborah Meaden
359
There are always going to be ridiculous rumours.
Kim Kardashian
360
You can’t win with some people. If you’re not in government, you’re criticised for being not serious. If you are in government, you’re criticised for wanting power. That’s the Labour party’s line of attack, and it’s a bit ridiculous.
Vince Cable
361
There are things done under the name of science which are ridiculous. But there is also stuff done which sounds funny but is really serious.
Margaret Geller
362
I love ‘Glee’ so much. It just works – it’s on the edge of ridiculous.
Adam Garcia
363
I have so many pairs of oxfords; it’s ridiculous. It started because at my school you have to wear oxfords for our uniform, but after I got my first pair, I realized they were really comfortable, so they became my regular walking shoes, too.
Yara Shahidi
364
The Department of Energy made an investment that failed, and it got raked over the coals for that failed investment. This is ridiculous. The fact of the matter is, the government should be making a lot of risky investments, the majority of which are likely to fail.
Peter Diamandis
365
I’m not one of these guys who says, Now I’m on a really hot show, better quit soon before I get labeled. That’s the most ridiculous notion I’d ever heard.
Jeff Probst
366
The truth is not wonderful enough to suit the newspapers; so they enlarge upon it, and invent ridiculous embellishments.
Anne Sullivan
367
I’ve always got loads on my plate, so I should concentrate on fewer things. I take multitasking to a ridiculous degree.
Mary Nightingale
368
This is something we’re seeing more, especially with patients from outside of this country. They love body modification, they love having things done that we don’t do in this country. For example, putting pubic hair on your eyelashes. What practitioner in this country would do something that ridiculous?
Paul Nassif
369
Gluten is so ridiculous. Don’t invite me to a dinner with someone who is gluten-free. I ruin the party.
Maye Musk
370
I’ve never filed a patent lawsuit. I hope never to file a patent lawsuit. That may be unrealistic, but it would be great if I could avoid doing it… Lawsuits are a ridiculous way to do business.
Nathan Myhrvold
371
My weakness is ‘American Idol.’ My husband thinks it’s ridiculous. But I am so inspired by those young people who are singing their guts out.
Mary Gordon
372
A lot of things went incredibly well for ‘Scrubs’: from a ridiculous number of downloads on the iPods, to whenever they issue a new season on DVD it kinda sells out, and we got nominated for an Emmy. To be picked up for six years is all gravy, man.
John C. McGinley
373
An Australian girl size 12 and a Swedish girl size 12 are completely different, just because of the way they’re formed. It’s becoming this worldwide movement because people are getting it. We all have two different parents; we’re not supposed to look the same. It’s ridiculous.
Hayley Hasselhoff
374
I’m a big fan of American vaudeville and Hollywood silent film-era slapstick and the music halls full of ridiculous, eccentric characters.
Lenny Abrahamson
375
It’s fun to perform Bernie Sanders and give his boring percentages and fact-based points to address some ridiculous Trumpisms, because that was always my fantasy for what the general election would look like.
James Adomian
376
It’s very important to me that people accept me as a transgendered female. But it’s ridiculous to a lot of people and I understand that.
Alexis Arquette
377
Why does everyone think they need to be a star? It’s ridiculous. The celebrity culture is so silly, and the fact that people grow up thinking that it’s something to aspire to just seems wrong. I don’t mean to bash my life. I love my life; I just think it’s not the only way to go.
Jennifer Garner
378
‘Man Down”s my absolute priority. If they give me another series, I’ll throw everything into it because I really like the characters. But after that, I’ll certainly be getting back on stage because I haven’t done a proper gig for two years. Which is ridiculous for someone who loves it so much.
Greg Davies
379
I’ve certainly been to Hollywood parties, and I have friends that are ridiculous – wonderful people – but they’re high rollers with tons of money.
Justin Hartley
380
My parents taught me not to complain, to always go forward. They taught me to always finish what I had on my plate. It seems ridiculous but these are little things that in the end make you stronger.
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga
381
Be able to sneeze without sounding ridiculous. That means neither stifling yourself or spraying your immediate vicinity.
Marilyn vos Savant
382
It was one of those evenings when men feel that truth, goodness and beauty are one. In the morning, when they commit their discovery to paper, when others read it written there, it looks wholly ridiculous.
Aldous Huxley
383
You love all your characters, even the ridiculous ones. You have to on some level; they’re your weird creations in some kind of way. I don’t even know how you approach the process of conceiving the characters if in a sense you hated them. It’s just absurd.
Joel Coen
384
I get asked a lot why Apple’s customers are so loyal. It’s not because they belong to the Church of Mac! That’s ridiculous.
Steve Jobs
385
Usually, impersonations come out of something you dig, because you’re listening to it over and over. And you kind of start developing… You’re really trying to emulate them, then you realize, ‘I sound ridiculous doing this. Oh, hey, maybe this is a funny impersonation.’
Alex Borstein
386
When we put our trust in diplomacy, it is not because it is an inspiring or uplifting discourse or because it helps us see the common humanity in others. The stylized circumlocutions of diplomats can make them seem ridiculous or irrelevant: they never seem to be talking about what is really going on.
Noah Feldman
387
It’s time to wake up to the reality that ignoring the genuine concerns of the ‘fringe,’ until it becomes the majority, is patently ridiculous. That the scapegoating of alternative opinions doesn’t work.
Margarita Simonyan
388
I like wearing things that are a bit off but not in a ridiculous ‘I’m wearing a huge hat’ kind of way. More a socks with sandals way.
Edie Campbell
389
He explained how ridiculous the clowning was, and there and then I decided to settle down and play seriously.
Mary Lou Williams
390
To think one film makes a career is ridiculous. It’s important to keep perspective and do things other than for money.
Anthony Edwards
391
I was terrible in English. I couldn’t stand the subject. It seemed to me ridiculous to worry about whether you spelled something wrong or not, because English spelling is just a human convention – it has nothing to do with anything real, anything from nature.
Richard P. Feynman
392
There are so many songs in my heart and in my brain. I wake up at 2 in the morning, and I have to get up and sing them. There are so many of them, it’s ridiculous.
Aaron Neville
393
The number of old ladies who’ve beaten me up on TV is absolutely ridiculous.
Russell Howard
394
Do not let anything hold you back – especially the colour of your skin, that’s ridiculous and it shouldn’t be anything to hold you back.
Leigh-Anne Pinnock
395
Satire is tragedy plus time. You give it enough time, the public, the reviewers will allow you to satirize it. Which is rather ridiculous, when you think about it.
Lenny Bruce
396
I have Googled so many things related to possible diseases, and it’s always ridiculous. Like, ‘My toe is hurting. Do I have cancer?’ ‘I have a scratch in my eye. Am I going to die soon?’ ‘Is eating a soup going to make me die?’
Christine and the Queens
397
Once you’re past the age of, say, 11, you should stop idolizing athletes. You look ridiculous wearing the jersey of a guy who is younger and wealthier than you are.
Sean Evans
398
I truly believe that women should be financially independent from their men. And let’s face it, money gives men the power to run the show. It gives men the power to define value. They define what’s sexy. And men define what’s feminine. It’s ridiculous.
Beyonce Knowles
399
When I was younger, I was insecure for about 10 years: I wore glasses, had a cow’s lick, buck teeth and braces. I looked ridiculous.
Jack Whitehall
400
It’s a weird thing to have a Hall of Fame for rock. It’s weird that I spent years worshiping the Cure, and here’s the Chili Peppers, and then one gets in one doesn’t. It’s ridiculous. In my heart of hearts, it means nothing to me, but I do understand it means a lot to other people. It creates positivity.
Josh Klinghoffer
401
At the Super Bowl, when Beyonce was thrusting her hips forward in a very suggestive manner, if someone else had done that, it would’ve been a national scandal. I thought it was ridiculous.
Donald Trump
402
A lotta stuff has been written about me that I never said. Stories that were lies. One guy wrote that young as I was during World War II, I actually got a rifle and fought off the Germans. Which is ridiculous, insane. I was just six.
Bruno Sammartino
403
I’ve viewed myself as slightly above average in talent. And where I excel is ridiculous, sickening work ethic.
Will Smith
404
The more established you are, the less likely you are to do something ridiculous, which is one reason I’m proud to put out a wrestling album. If you stop and you go, ‘Well, what if people don’t like it?,’ if you’re already established in what you do, that’ll strike fear into your heart.
John Darnielle
405
I did comedy shows and the only thing beating out my fights were my comedy shows. The entertainment I was providing was ridiculous. They had me doing absolutely everything and anything.
Bob Sapp
406
The aging process is not gradual or gentle. It rushes up, pushes you over, and runs off laughing. No one should grow old who isn’t ready to appear ridiculous.
John Mortimer
407
This might sound slightly ridiculous but I play the ukulele for at least an hour a day and I find something really blissful about it.
Frank Skinner
408
I think these movies are definitely comedies. It’s quite difficult to take a superhero movie seriously because everything is heightened. A kid being bitten by a radioactive spider and getting superpowers is kind of ridiculous.
Tom Holland
409
Marriage equality is a term so ridiculous on its face that when you hear it mentioned, you would think you were in Riyadh. Years from now, perhaps we can lose the equality part, the same-sex part and call it what it is – marriage.
Henry Rollins
410
The average British woman is a size 12 to 14, but in modelling, a size 12 is considered huge, which is ridiculous.
Marie Helvin
411
I can think back to being four or five and not wanting to sit at the kids’ table because I thought it was demeaning. I was this ridiculous little kid.
Lenny Abrahamson
412
I know what I do for a living is ridiculous.
Shane Dawson
413
I can’t imagine putting my name on a t-shirt. For someone to wear my name? Me? It’s ridiculous.
David Berman
414
Every milieu has something ridiculous about it – film-making, the music world, painting – because people who take themselves seriously become funny pretty quickly.
Rebecca Miller
415
Lots of people hide behind social media to spread ridiculous rumours and cause problems where they don’t exist.
Marcelo
416
When I was a child, she’d have me wash the lettuce ten times or open walnuts by hand to make a cake. I was like, ‘Mom, this is ridiculous.’ But now? I run my kitchen the same way.
Daniel Humm
417
I saw Deep Purple live once and I paid money for it and I thought, ‘Geez, this is ridiculous.’ You just see through all that sort of stuff. I never liked those Deep Purples or those sort of things. I always hated it. I always thought it was a poor man’s Led Zeppelin.
Angus Young
418
A painting in a museum hears more ridiculous opinions than anything else in the world.
Edmond de Goncourt
419
I’m, like, a compulsive eater. I’m going to be so fat when I’m older, it’s ridiculous.
Robert Pattinson
420
The more cats you have, the longer you live. If you have a hundred cats, you’ll live 10 times longer than if you have 10. Someday this will be discovered, and people will have a thousand cats and live forever. It’s truly ridiculous.
Charles Bukowski
421
This is ridiculous, I mean, wholly ridiculous. It never did any child any harm to have something that was a tiny bit above them anyway, and I claim that anyone who can follow Doctor Who can follow absolutely anything.
Diana Wynne Jones
422
Human beings are born solitary, but everywhere they are in chains – daisy chains – of interactivity. Social actions are makeshift forms, often courageous, sometimes ridiculous, always strange. And in a way, every social action is a negotiation, a compromise between ‘his,’ ‘her’ or ‘their’ wish and yours.
Andy Warhol
423
It’s easier to find the joke in something when you think, ‘This – this is ridiculous.’
Alexandra Petri
424
I had teammates like Chris Davis. Manny Machado was really young and such a good kid. Seeing his development, it’s ridiculous. He’s going to get bigger. He’s going to get stronger. He’s going to get even better.
Jake Arrieta
425
What is sacred among one people may be ridiculous in another; and what is despised or rejected by one cultural group, may in a different environment become the cornerstone for a great edifice of strange grandeur and beauty.
Hu Shih
426
I recently read an article on how I was dropped from a film because I couldn’t dance! It was so ridiculous that I decided to shut up about it. Let people say what they want to. It’s such a waste of time.
Kajal Aggarwal
427
I love to work. I know that sounds ridiculous to say because all people love to work, but I love the homework that goes into acting. I love figuring out different ways of playing a scene. I love the energy of being on set. I love not getting enough sleep because I have to wake up early in the morning.
Amanda Schull
428
I feel like every time I do a video I say I want to make it like a movie, I want to make it very entertaining. So I start to just scan in my brain for what I haven’t done before so I can do something unique and ridiculous, and what that song means.
Redfoo
429
Humor is a way of saying we’re all seeing the same ridiculous, absurd, infuriating things together.
Jon Lovett
430
It’s easy to get swept up in the day to day ridiculous things that are in the news. They’re not meaningless, they’re legitimate and worth being engaged with. But it’s easy to get overwhelmed and swept up and forget what real life feels like.
Phil Elverum
431
They were ridiculous times. After I won my world championship in 1976, I went to Japan.
Barry Sheene
432
First of all I thought it was ugly, I thought it was ridiculous that undercover police guys would drive a striped tomato and I’ve never been a big champion of Ford.
Paul Michael Glaser
433
When I first played ‘1234’ it was on stage in San Francisco at some kind of, like, sticky-floored club. And it felt like a punk song. I mean it’s ridiculous to say that now, but it had that kind of, like, piercing straight melody. And then this fist-pumping ending, you know that pa-dap-pada.
Feist
434
I’m not the sexiest thing in the world, I feel actors who have to ‘play’ sexy lose all their sex appeal. When they start with the tongue and the heavy lids, it looks so ridiculous. I think you just have to be yourself.
Stephanie Zimbalist
435
You don’t want to get too ridiculous on the weekdays.
Redfoo
436
I am the biggest klutz on set. I honestly don’t think I have ever been as klutzy as when I’m on set. People call me ‘Grace’ ironically because I’m not graceful. It’s ridiculous.
Laura Marano
437
I did a network show in the U.S. before, and I loved it, but you have eight days to shoot an episode, and it’s just a ridiculous pace.
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau
438
The idea of forever is kind of ridiculous, which is unfortunate because it’s kind of a nice thing to say, you know. I think it softens the blow of mortality and having to say goodbye to everything you know and everyone you love and all that kind of thing.
Conor Oberst
439
I went to a Christian college. You would be expelled if you were caught in a movie theater. It was ridiculous.
Wes Craven
440
That’s what my wardrobe room looks like. It’s all costumes and props. It’s ridiculous.
Bridget Marquardt
441
All of these charges by McCarthy were a way of getting the Democrats out of power. The Democrats had controlled the government for 20 years, and the New Deal had helped a lot of people. So Republicans turned instead to saying that the Democrats were soft on communism, which was ridiculous.
David Oshinsky
442
Everyone talks about 40 like it’s massive, but I looked at Joanna Lumley at the Ab Fab premiere the other day, and she looks amazing at 70 – that’s 30 years older than 40, which sounds ridiculous. The number doesn’t matter; it’s what’s going on for you.
Tamzin Outhwaite
443
I travel a ridiculous amount, so I’ve thought a lot about, and spent a lot of time refining, what I carry and how I carry it.
David Pogue
444
If Harvard is $60,000 and University of Toronto, where I went to school, is maybe six. So you’re really telling me that education is 10 times better at Harvard than it is at University of Toronto? That seems ridiculous to me.
Malcolm Gladwell
445
Girls Aloud is not just us five, there’s like us five plus a ridiculous team of 50 who travel with us, it’s amazing.
Nadine Coyle
446
Sometimes life gives us lessons sent in ridiculous packaging.
Dar Williams
447
Sometimes people say that kids with autism aren’t capable of love. That’s ridiculous. My son loves deeply. He just doesn’t communicate well.
Claire Scovell LaZebnik
448
We did ‘Bricks’ and ‘Ridiculous’ all in one day. Gucci came here, like, 8 in the morning – we were done 4 the morning the next day.
Zaytoven
449
Our body awareness in the West is ridiculous.
Alice Eve
450
It’s fatal to talk about acting. It sounds faintly ridiculous if you start analysing it.
Jim Broadbent
451
Perhaps most ridiculous of all is the suggestion that we ‘keep’ our radioactive garbage for the use of our descendants. This ‘solution’, I think, requires an immediate poll of the next 20,000 generations.
David R. Brower
452
‘Noah’ doesn’t merely get the story wrong; like all Biblical adaptations, it’s bound to do that (although some aspects of the film are out and out ridiculous). It gets the morality of the story wrong, and in the process turns God into Gaia and morality into radical deep green environmentalism.
Ben Shapiro
453
It’s embarrassing to tell you how much my friends make fun of me. Seriously, when you have a doll made of your face, it’s ridiculous how creative your friends can get… pictures, videos, little animated cartoons that they’ve made.
Channing Tatum
454
I grew up in the 90s in the time of grunge when if you didn’t go on stage in jeans and a T shirt you weren’t ‘real.’ That seemed ridiculous to me.
Jack White
455
It’s ridiculous that we let broadcast and cable shows compete against each other at the Emmys. They are not the same animal.
Courtney A. Kemp
456
I took a whole stunt course and pretty much got certified as a stunt driver. It’s ridiculous how easy it is once you understand the car and know how to do it.
Aaron Paul
457
I had ridiculous amounts of energy. Mom’s like, you’re driving me crazy – do you want to try gymnastics? From the moment I started it, I loved it and it kind of was like storybook from there.
Alicia Sacramone
458
Designers do a lot of clothes I would like to wear but I can’t. If it had to be made up in my size It would look ridiculous. You can’t always wear what’s in style. You have to realize what looks good on you.
Divine
459
Human beings are born solitary, but everywhere they are in chains – daisy chains – of interactivity. Social actions are makeshift forms, often courageous, sometimes ridiculous, always strange. And in a way, every social action is a negotiation, a compromise between ‘his,’ ‘her’ or ‘their’ wish and yours.
Andy Warhol
460
Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.
Marilyn Monroe
461
I was obsessed with award shows and made charts and graphs and stuff when I was 7 years old. I found the entertainment business hilarious, ridiculous, and alluring – and my parents supported it, for better or worse.
Billy Eichner
462
It’s a bit ridiculous to have people who have two years of experience handling an $83 billion budget.
Mike Thompson
463
Gay writers now have both a sense of history and the fables that allows them to dwell in the realms of the ridiculous and at the same time talk seriously about things.
Tony Kushner
464
I feel like the more serious a life event is that you share on social media, the more ridiculous it sort of becomes, the more you sort of self-trivialize.
Caroline Calloway
465
To a superior race of being the pretensions of mankind to extraordinary sanctity and virtue must seem… ridiculous.
William Hazlitt
466
Dallas is an extraordinary place in it’s own right. The first thing about Dallas that you can’t get away from, particularly when I arrived, you’ve got no idea of the heat in this place. It’s over 100 degrees, and with that the humidity is ridiculous. I mean, people don’t live here, armadillos live here.
Chris Vance
467
I come from a family of scrap metal dealers, so becoming an actor seemed like a ridiculous thing to do, but I’d found the thing that gave me a kick, and I quickly became obsessed with it.
Nicola Walker
468
The whole idea of wearing clothes is not to look ridiculous.
Brunello Cucinelli
469
I think for any actor to say they don’t like attention is ridiculous. Of course we love attention. But getting attention is different than pretending the attention means something.
Ellen Pompeo
470
All great deeds and all great thoughts have a ridiculous beginning. Great works are often born on a street corner or in a restaurant’s revolving door.
Albert Camus
471
Embrace yourself and do what you can to look and feel your best. Don’t put on so many fashion trends that create a ridiculous style statement. Pick and choose what feels good, and flatters your own body.
Camila Alves
472
I have this ridiculous exercise regime in the summer that I do not deviate from.
Elin Hilderbrand
473
I have a tailor now, I have a doctor, a wine merchant, a jeweller, a gardener, a cleaner, and a nanny. It was clearly ridiculous that I did not have a hairdresser. So I got one.
Giles Coren
474
To say a scientist is not at all responsible is wrong. But to say that someone who invents a piece of knowledge or technology is responsible for all future uses is ridiculous. It doesn’t have to be that binary.
Astro Teller
475
This idea you’re going to take a 50-year-old coal miner and turn them into a software engineer is ridiculous.
Ro Khanna

Sure, you can do something frothy and ridiculous, but you should probably be confident that it’s going to be a sure-fire hit. Then it’s sensible, because it enables you to make smaller movies. But if you make something frothy and ridiculous that doesn’t work, it’s not worth it.
