A lot of people ask me, ‘What is your goal now that you have done everything?’ And I always say that my goal is to not be bored by what I do. The only way that I cannot be bored by what I do is if I play something and it’s all new to me.
I was very fortunate that a teacher saw that I read a lot and got bored very easily and had a lot of energy, so she said, ‘You’ve got to go to this youth theater.’ I joined Manchester Youth Theatre when I was really young, and I just loved putting on and being involved in plays and telling stories.

If I’m extremely bored and I don’t have a book with me and I’m being an obnoxious teenager, I’ll read ‘BuzzFeed’ on my phone.

I’ve hung out at dozens of playgrounds, bored out of my mind, with not even a look of comfort from disapproving mothers all around me. Either they think I’m a pedophile or a deadbeat dad. That’s what I get for being a single dad – suspicious looks at the playground.
Eventually you get bored and you want to work.
I’m good at being on my own. As a kid, I was always in my room alone, so I have a high threshold for it. If I’m bored, I’ll read. Hanging around doesn’t go well with me.

A lot of people are bored of all the political correctness.
Comic books and radio were my escape. I even remember 3-D comic books where you put on the red-and-green glasses and Mighty Mouse would punch you in the face. It was the literature of the day for kids my age who were too bored with listening to ‘Peter and the Wolf‘ on the record player.
I don’t know how to get bored. I need to learn to rest.
I always say, ‘I really need to take a break.’ It’s three days in and I’m getting pretty bored.
I don’t want to wake up and be bored. That’s probably my greatest fear is to have nothing to do. What better job is there than to play quarterback for an NFL team, and certainly one that I’ve been on for a long time and had success with? I don’t plan on giving it up any time soon.
I can’t remember the last time I was bored.
I get kind of bored on the treadmill, but I do it. And I do a little bit of weight training. I’m really into the BOSU ball. You have to balance on it, and I do weights and squats on it. I’m pretty good at it, I feel sort of like a Karate Kid.

There are few virtuous women who are not bored with their trade.
Since I was a little kid, everybody was paying so much attention to what I looked like, not what I was feeling. You start feeling tired. It’s like eating soup every day. You eat the same soup, and you get bored, so I developed my inner self.
I always knew that I was kind of bored; the regular life of a child didn’t fit me.
Basically, I’m a really bad interviewer. I love meeting celebrities, but then I get a bit bored. Once you meet them you thing, ‘really, what an ordinary person‘.
There are lots of research, of course, saying that a vast majority of us have been exposed to racial biases and stereotypes and, to some extent, we’ve internalized them, because that’s so ubiquitous. That’s why I’m so bored with the conversation about who’s a racist and who’s not.
I just get really bored with sticking to the norm and having the proper conservative image. That’s just so not me.

I can be bought, but not bored.
I want variety. I certainly don’t want any kind of hype if I can avoid it. I’m trying to play parts which are a little more out there, but I want variety, I suppose, because – like a lot of people – I’m easily bored.
True confession time: I never know where a book is going. I get a gut feeling the story is there, then pursue it with the enthusiasm of a hunting tiger on a trail. If I knew where I was going, I’d get bored out of my mind and stop writing.

I don’t have the time to be bored.
Probably the TV show I’ve watched the most is ‘How It’s Made’ on the History Channel. I could watch 24 hours of ‘How It’s Made’ and never get bored. Or ‘Dirty Jobs’ – that’s even better!
I just get bored really quickly and want to push myself to the next level.
I’m big into not drawing conclusions for people. I think that’s what makes for the most exciting, compelling films. I get bored when the politics of the filmmaker are the subject of the film that I see.
I am never bored, never short of anything to do and I don’t even ever feel lonely. I am quite gregarious and I get out and about a lot, but sometimes it is just wonderful to be on your own.
