Unless it's really an emergency, I'm not going to bother you. And you can see people chafe at that. 'You're in the same office and instant-message each other? Why don't you just walk over?' That's the perfect example of how ingrained the status quo is. To certain people, it may seem lazy, but I would argue it's much more efficient and considerate.

Alexis Ohanian

Have you ever wondered why the rich and privileged care about, or even bother with, the gift bag? Because they don't need this stuff. If they wanted it, they could afford to buy it, without blinking. But they love the gift bag, beyond reason.

A. A. Gill

Don't underestimate the value of doing nothing, of just going along, listening to all the thing you can't hear, and not bothering.

A. A. Milne

I have to be fully committed to do a project nowadays, because if I say yes to something, it means the whole family are going to have to move for the job. It's a lot of upheaval. So, it has to be really worth it. Otherwise, I'd just as well not bother.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson

I am over that phase where any kind of story would bother me, be it personal or professional. I just laugh it off and forget about it.

Abhay Deol

I don't care if people think I'm gay. I know I'm not, so it doesn't bother me.

Adam Garcia

Being the hero doesn't bother me, but being part of a successful team does bother me.

Adam Lallana

It bothers me so much that people have gone out of their way to make trans people feel less than.

Adam Rippon

My weight is this permanent topic that just doesn't fade away. Most days, I am fine with people talking about it. That doesn't bother me as much as how people use the fact to promote their own ventures.

Adnan Sami

I remember thinking I couldn't be bothered to feel any emotions any more.

Adwoa Aboah

I live now on borrowed time, waiting in the anteroom for the summons that will inevitably come. And then - I go on to the next thing, whatever it is. One doesn't, luckily, have to bother about that.

Agatha Christie

It doesn't bother me that people are stupid. I'm not stupid.

Ahmed Best

For characters where, in a comic, I'd avoid using screen tone because it's such a bother, I'd deliberately use it in animation in order to highlight their individual characteristics.

Akira Toriyama

Why bother with Google when I have a wife who knows everything about everything!

Akshay Kumar

I've been in the struggle over seventy years - it doesn't bother me I may not win.

Al Lewis

What bothers me is that there is so much emphasis on food, rather than gathering and meeting - so that there is all this effort in creating the right food, whereas the food is only a small part of whether the encounter is successful or not.

Alain de Botton

Actually I like working kind of fast, because if you got it, why bother doing it over and over?

Alan Cumming

I've been around long enough to know that a good deal of the praise heaped on me I had nothing to do with. The only thing I did object to was the fact that where the criticism was actually wrong. Did it bother me? Of course it bothered me. But I've been around long enough to have ups and downs. So you get over it.

Alan Greenspan

Coaches will do what they can but it doesn't necessarily bother me. You are an international referee for a reason. If things like that are going to ruffle your feathers, don't bother doing the job.

Alan Lewis

I really can't be bothered going to a barber. And shaving every morning, that's nightmarish. I spent my teenage years covered in tiny little bits of toilet paper.

Alan Moore

I've developed a theory that there's an inverse relationship between money and imagination. That if you've got lots of imagination then you don't really need much money, and if you've got lots of money then you won't bother with much imagination.
