Ed Bradley
During my first open ocean dive, I went down to 800 feet and turned out the lights. I knew I would see bioluminescence, but I was totally unprepared for how much. It was incredible! There were explosions of light everywhere, like being in the middle of a silent fireworks display.
Edith Widder
Elite private-school educations leave students unprepared for a standardized test with which their public school counterparts are innately familiar.

Evan McMullin
A committee is a group of the unprepared, appointed by the unwilling to do the unnecessary.
Fred Allen

Gautam Gambhir
I was completely unprepared for the public spectacle my private life became, and didn't like it a bit.

James Forrestal
Being unprepared heightens nerves.
James Galway
Being unprepared makes me nervous. I'm old-fashioned show folk.
John C. Reilly
I was sure I'd set the world on fire, and it was hard for a young feller like me to realize the truth - that I hadn't set the world on fire, and I was totally unprepared to handle the consequences if 'The Big Trail' had been a success and launched me as a star.
John Wayne
I just felt very young and unprepared. I didn't know anyone who'd been pregnant, and I didn't know anyone who'd had a baby. Because everyone around me didn't really get it, I just kept on as though nothing was happening, even though I was slightly scared and throwing up everywhere.
Keren Woodward
Money is my military, each dollar a soldier. I never send my money into battle unprepared and undefended. I send it to conquer and take currency prisoner and bring it back to me.
Kevin O'Leary
High school was interesting, because I went from a public school middle school to an academy where the first year we were doing Latin, chemistry, biology. I mean, I was woefully unprepared for the type of study.

Donald Trump - you can say a lot of negative things about him, and I do, and I think he's completely unprepared for the office, and he lacks the fabric to lead this nation, but if there's one thing that he understands, it's branding and how to navigate the media.
I think at one point there were three television channels showing 'Starcraft' tournaments in South Korea. We were so unprepared for its success.
You see, some lawyers have the talent, have the charisma, but no discipline. They come into court unprepared, without having done their research.
I thought what would be really just choice for a revamp and a reboot is 'The Greatest American Hero.' I think I'd be just that kind of perfect not prepared for this kind of thing, but thrust into circumstances he's not prepared for... that's another niche of mine. Unpreparedness. Not knowing what to do. I'm good at being that guy.
We were so unprepared that when my husband took off to get groceries, and we'd adopted a 3-year-old, he came back with baby formula, a steak and a teething ring. We had no idea what we were doing. But you learn. There's no way to fully prepare. Just eyes wide open - jump.
I like to be prepared enough to be completely unprepared. I don't know if I make sense, but I have a fantasy of living someone else's life. And to do that perfectly, I need to prepare myself just as properly.
You can't go into the cage and not love it, and you can't go in there unprepared. You have to prepare.
Before 'Local Hero,' I'd been knocking about Glasgow in rock bands, drinking too much and generally being 21. My opinion of actors was that they were straight and boring, so you see, I was completely unprepared for being one.
I try to create an environment where it's okay to make a mistake, though it's not okay to be unfocused or come in unprepared. I'm challenging and demanding, but very patient. I don't tell you how to get there and I don't show you what to do, though I'll ask leading questions.
I can't tell you the number of times in high school I was allowed to be disappointed for not making the grade; it's a part of life.

People are released from prison so unprepared. They give you $200. We call it gate money. And you have to pay for a bus ticket back to L.A. You get off the Greyhound bus, downtown Skid Row, and you're supposed to make a life from that.
By the time I got to 'St Vincent,' I had shot so many scenarios I was ready for anything - I've shot kangaroos, I've shot dogs, cats, crowds, fight scenes, stunts, comedy, drama, handheld, dolly, helicopter, crane - I just felt that there was nothing I was unprepared for.
Do you not know that the largest trees, which have required years to grow, are cut down in one hour? It is foolish to look for their fruits and yet to be unprepared for their fall.

I think pressure is that uneasy feeling that you feel when you're unprepared.
Pressure is self-doubt when you're unprepared.
