I feel like I'm the same scientist I was back when I couldn't get a grant. Now I'm that same person thinking that same way getting grants. That system of external rewards in science has always mystified me. It's fickle. And I also don't think it was constructed with people like me in mind.

Hope Jahren

Football is a fickle game - if I do get the jeers and the boos I'm just going to take it as them missing me playing down there because I miss Southampton. I miss the fans and I miss the good times we had down there. Of course I do.

Adam Lallana

I don't speculate too much about the future. That's the thing about this job - it's so fickle. You take the jobs, you read the scripts and, if something interests you and you like the people who are working on it, you go for it.

Aidan Turner

It's a difficult thing to be in fashion or popular - it's all so fickle.

Aisling Bea

People's musical tastes are fickle, and music can be a fashion.

Alex Kapranos

The inquiry constantly is what will please, not what will benefit the people. In such a government there can be nothing but temporary expedient, fickleness, and folly.

Alexander Hamilton

Fashion is fickle, and I was published because I was fashionable. Because I was gay.

Ali Smith

When 'SOTY 2' got delayed by a year, my dad actually didn't even congratulate me till the film released because that's how fickle the industry is. That's how dispensable people are.

Ananya Panday

We left 'Byker Grove,' had a short recording career and suddenly it finished. The invites to premieres dried up and overnight things stopped. We realised very quickly how fickle this business is. Thinking you've lost it all makes you appreciate it a lot more and it sticks with you.

Ant McPartlin

When you see the industry's fickleness so early on, you realise that you are only as good as your last release. It is all about your work. And that has set the way I look at my profession and what I do in my career.

Anushka Sharma

I find it really hard to stick to one thing because I'm so fickle and I like to change my mind a lot.

Ashnikko

Rock fans are pretty fickle, too, you know.

Bubba Sparxxx

Every time I reach a major milestone in my career, I expect it to make more of a difference than it does, and I guess that means I'm in the sport for the right reasons. I'm not in it to win it because winning can only last for so long, and it's a very fickle thing, sport.

Cate Campbell

I never do anything to strictly satisfy a fickle, ever-changing commercial world. I do the music I like to play. It's the only way I feel comfortable existing in the industry.

Charlie Hunter

It's a very tough sport. It's a fickle sport. The fans are definitely tough. But it's also kind of motivating.

Chris Weidman

Fashion can be a very fickle lady, especially when it comes to models - fashion likes to turn on its own.

Coco Rocha

Can anyone create an enduring business on the Web, where it's easy to build new companies, and when survival depends on the whims of fickle users? The big lesson of 'Digg' may be simply this: if someone offers you a ridiculous amount of money for a company that wasn't that hard to build, don't think twice. Take the money and run.

Daniel Lyons

A friend of mine had died, and I went for an audition. It was weird and cathartic: the producer was very excited about the piece, but my brain wasn't working, and it all seemed really pointless and fickle. I told them I didn't want to be there any more, and left. It was the most terrifying and empowering audition experience I've had.

Darren Boyd

College is a magic time. Yes, you're young and fickle, but you want to be part of this college experience... Then you graduate from that. You have your first job, moving to a new city.

David Sze

In this industry, it's very fickle; you don't know where you are.

Emily Atack

Fame is a fickle food upon a shifting plate.

Emily Dickinson
