I think on-stage nudity is disgusting, shameful and damaging to all things American. But if I were 22 with a great body, it would be artistic, tasteful, patriotic and a progressive religious experience.
- Shelley Winters(February 2006) Look at what happened to James Frey in the last two weeks. That`s a great book and so is the follow-up book. And just because his publisher chose to say that these were memoirs, it took it out of being a work of fiction, a great work of fiction and very well-written to this guy having to go be sucker punched on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" (1986) by one of the most powerful women in television just to grind her own ax about it. Hey Oprah, you had President (Bill Clinton) on your show and if this prick didn`t lie about a couple of things I`m going to set myself on fire right now. James Frey is a writer, okay? He can write whatever he wants. It`s fiction, and it`s just hard, it`s just shameful how he was treated in some of these things. It`s just shameful and it`s just not fair and not right . . .
- Bruce WillisThe first job I ever did was Equus on stage, as the boy, and I was 17, and we opened the show with me naked in the spotlight being examined by doctors. That was my entrance to the stage, so anything after that was easy. Also, for some reason, nudity was never shameful, it was never brought up in my household when I was a kid, there was no `dirty, dirty sex`. It`s not like we all ran around naked in some horrid 70s nightmare, it just was never an issue, and because it was never an issue I`ve never been embarrassed, I guess.
- James PurefoyI think I felt that I was very well known for my figure and needed to keep that up for my work. And I regret all of it. I felt fraudulent and very shameful.
- Jamie Lee CurtisThis man called President Bush has a lot to answer for. I don`t know if this man is really taking care of America. This government has been shameful.
- Pierce Brosnan(on the widely criticized federal government response to Hurricane Katrina) This man called President Bush (George W. Bush) has a lot to answer for. I don`t know if this man is really taking care of America. This government has been shameful.
- Pierce BrosnanI have been doing this on and off since I was a teenager and never once seen violence. If I want to see violence or what I call shameful behaviour, the idea that women in clubs these days have to hold their hand over their drink for fear of being drugged ... Please don`t tell me as a member of the straight community that I am taking risks. I know what I do and I am sorry, but we should not be taking questions like this, from straight women in particular ... I do not deserve the criticism. What I don`t have respect for is some demand for answers from an openly gay man who is living his own life. I have not cheated or lied about my sex life to anybody in my life, in my entire life. I hate not to be able to rise above it, but there is only so much you can take. I`m suing the individual involved who I have never, ever seen, let alone wanted to have any kind of sexual encounter with, and I`m currently investigating suing the secondary sources of libel. I am taking legal action against the photographers because they`re harassing me and I should not have to worry about who`s watching me at 2:30 in the morning.
- George MichaelIn politics, it seems, retreat is honorable if dictated by military considerations and shameful if even suggested for ethical reasons.
- Mary McCarthyBut when we came out of camp, that`s when I first realized that being in camp, that being Japanese-American, was something shameful.
- George TakeiThe infant mortality rate is shameful, ... If you didn`t know better, you`d think it`s a statistic for a Third World country.
- Jay WilliamsWe have to stop the propaganda, the shameful propaganda used by Kremlin to rehabilitate these old types.
- Garry KasparovOn her role Kate in My Sister`s Keeper (2009): There are scripts when you fall so much in love with your character. And if you are lucky and offered this part you should not tempt your fate and go to the greatest extent to be/to play this character. If you have an opportunity to do that and you do not, it`s shameful. Shaving my head was the least I could do for Kate to experience the degree of her isolation and outcast from a `normal` healthy life. It is like balancing between two realities
- Sofia VassilievaThis man called President Bush has a lot to answer for, ... I don`t know if this man is really taking care of America. This government has been shameful.
- James BondI find it shameful that in nearly all the universities of Europe, Palestinian students sponsor and nurture anti-Semitism.
- Oriana FallaciI remember trying to impress her by writing an essay about the Rocky Mountains and the bears and it was the first bad review I ever had - shameful!
- Laurie LeeIt was never shameful to learn from any teacher things that are useful to know.
- Adam HyndmanThere`s no scandal like rags, nor any crime so shameful as poverty.
- Alex LinnenkohlThere is no scandal like rags, nor any crime so shameful as poverty.
- Alex LinnenkohlEven if we encounter some shameful events in the past, we shouldn`t avoid or hide them.
- Amber PruittThis imprisonment is shameful for a country like Poland, which has just joined the European Union and which is the sole member state to impose prison sentences on journalists for offences of opinion.
- Ann Darrin(But if Boyden grew up canoeing across cold-water lakes and tramping through the birch forests with his relatives, no one ever explained their connection. His parents were raised during the 1930s when native heritage was considered shameful and many mixed-race people would pretend to be white.) I think my grandmother lived with this quietly, unhappily, ... My mother just refused to recognise it so didn`t grow up with any kind of prejudice.
- Arthur GrayI think on-stage nudity is disgusting, shameful and damaging to all things American. But if I were 22 with a great body, it would be artistic, tasteful, patriotic and a progressive religious experience.
- Barbara DevoreThis shameful display of angry partisanship from Howard Dean is more of the angry face of the Democratic Party, and it`s not helping us win the war on terror.
- Barbara OlshanskySkepticism is the chastity of the intellect, and it is shameful to surrender it too soon or to the first comer: there is nobility in preserving it coolly and proudly through long youth, until at last, in the ripeness of instinct and discretion, it ca
- George SantayanaIt is more shameful to mistrust one`s friends than to be deceived by them
- Janet WatsonWhoever is detected in a shameful fraud is ever after not believed even if they speak the truth
- PhaedrusHomosexuality, is regarded as shameful by barbarians and by those who live under despotic governments just as philosophy is regarded as shameful by them, because it is apparently not in the interest of such rulers to have great ideas engendered in their subjects, or powerful friendships or passionate love-all of which homosexuality is particularly apt to produce."
