I know some people are like, 'I'm depressed, and I'm a struggling artist,' and that really works for some people, but that doesn't work for me. I have to be really happy, even when I'm writing my depressing songs; I have to come through that stage before I can write.

Charli XCX

Being able to afford everything you desire is not, by any means, the worst thing that can happen to you. But, depressingly, and more profoundly, neither is it the best.

A. A. Gill

Here in the big city people spend their time thinking about work and about money; they don't give some value to friendships and it can be depressing.

Adriana Lima

It's depressing to think what it would mean to be impaired down the neck.

Akkineni Nagarjuna

This is not to say that the Scots are not fine people, but they were all sort of... well, my grandfather was a minister and sort of Protestant, and this was rather depressing to me.

Alan Hovhaness

When you meet someone, of course you want it to last forever. It'd be very depressing if you didn't feel that way. But things change, and you maybe grow apart. You have to accept that.

Alexander Skarsgard

You do not get gold stars for cleaning your toilet. In actual life, there is a depressing lack of stickers.

Alexandra Petri

I think dead humans rising from their graves with little to no sense of who they were in their past lives to mindlessly roam the earth consigning others to the same fate would be a bit depressing.

Alfred Enoch

Of course there are depressing periods when nothing appears to be happening. But whenever anything was happening, and even when nothing was happening, it was fun just to do phage experiments.

Alfred Hershey

The actual thought of not really having a home was, for me, very depressing, and it was something that I was dealing with for quite some time.

Alice Merton

Music critics think of lyrics first and don't consider melody but so many songs are lyrically depressing but musically great, and that's why they become classics.

Aloe Blacc

You know that melancholy feeling when you watch the end of a movie and you're crying - but also there is hope? I wanted that feeling in 'Monsoon.' I don't want people to be like, 'This is a really depressing EP. I just want to cry the whole way through.'

Amber Mark

There were very depressing days when the whole year everyone was working, and you were sitting at home because half of the people weren't giving you work and then there were some who didn't like you.

Amit Sadh

I have always kept notes and have kept letters from my friends and mother, which is rather depressing, as it takes you to the past.

Amitava Kumar

I really don't like going out. I don't like restaurants because I don't like the idea of someone, a waitress, being responsible for my evening. I like seconds, and more, and lots of conversation, and I've always hated the idea that in a restaurant an evening just ends. I find that incredibly depressing.

Amy Sedaris

In America people get depressed for no reason. They say, 'I'm sad my boyfriend didn't call me.' I tell them, 'How would you like to spend 12 hours on a line to get bread or a chicken?' That is depressing.

Anastasia Soare

My parents signed me up for classical guitar lessons, which made for two years of the most depressing Wednesday evenings.

Andrew Garfield

With sad, depressing predictability, the children of today's underclass become tomorrow's criminals and dropouts.

Andrew Neil

People say that I am always serious and depressing, but it seems to me that the English are never serious - they are flippant, complacent, ineffable, but never serious, which is sometimes maddening.

Anita Brookner

It's often been said that I'm an extremely depressing, cynical writer. I've never known what to make of that.

Ann Beattie

Some nightlife places, people aren't there for the music, and it's depressing. I'm not just a club DJ; I am a producer, and I'll only DJ when the crowd is there to enjoy the music.

Ansel Elgort
