Acting is a community where you come in and out of each other's lives. I'm slightly envious of the Golden Age of Hollywood. It must have been frustrating to be owned by the studio, but it was also like being in a company, working with the same people, and that appeals to me.

Katherine Waterston

The super-rich watch each other like envious owls, to see who's got a slightly better loafer, a pullover made from some even more absurdly endangered fur. They will go to any lengths to find the best tailors.

A. A. Gill

Love Anger Will

I'm envious of 'Glee' - artists turned their libraries over for free because they knew it would lead to album sales.

Adam F. Goldberg

Art Would Use

I never get sullen, sad, or envious, because those emotions will get me nowhere.

Aditya Roy Kapur

Sad Will Where

There have been a handful of assignments over the years that I've had to turn down due to time constraints, and I was fairly envious when I saw the finished product, beautifully illustrated by someone else.

Adrian Tomine

Time Men Years

I'm envious of people that can handle the press. No matter what I say or how articulately I say it, it always comes back to the same issues. And it's getting kind of old.

Al Jourgensen

Art Ways Way

There are some amazing women's football teams out there and it is good that they are being recognised. I was always terrible at football, so I am a little bit envious of their amazing skills.

Amy Macdonald

Women Men Good

As iron is eaten away by rust, so the envious are consumed by their own passion.

Antisthenes

Jealousy Way Us

Man is by nature competitive, combative, ambitious, jealous, envious, and vengeful.

Arthur Keith

Pet Nature Vengeful

The envious die not once, but as oft as the envied win applause.

Baltasar Gracian

Jealousy Win Use

Those who are believed to be most abject and humble are usually most ambitious and envious.

Baruch Spinoza

Jealousy Who Usual

I've always been envious of certainty, of people who always seemed to have a plan for their lives.

Bill Bailey

Who Ways Way

The goal, I submit, is obvious: subjugating the world (which is barbarian, dangerous, envious and ungrateful) to US power for the sake of America's interests.

Breyten Breytenbach

Power Anger World

I look at so many people's feeds like, 'God, your life is so cool. Like, I want to do that! Why don't I get that?' And I will get envious of someone's life, and we don't think about the fact that it's completely - not fake, but it's one single screenshot of just the good times.

Carly Chaikin

Time Life Good

Guys always get jealous or envious of an opportunity, but they never wanna walk out to the mound and point to the crowd and tell them where they're going to hit the ball. I will. I'll call my shots.

Chael Sonnen

Will Where Ways

I'm so envious of that genetic wiring that immediately puts a smile on your face. My genetic wiring just puts creases in my eyebrows.

Chris Pine

Smile Your You

I am always so envious of people who do whatever they want.

Claire Foy

Who Whatever Ways

Because we moved so much, I was always having to adapt and work out the lay of the land. So I felt envious of those who did not have to try.

Claire Messud

Work Work Out Who

I remember working with Agyness Deyn. At the time, she was the only one who had short hair as a model. I remember being so envious of her because we would all be getting our hair pulled for two hours backstage, and she was getting a new haircut almost every other show.

Coco Rocha

Work Time Age

But we're born as children and we look at the world with open eyes... And we don't judge and we don't betray. We're not jealous. We're not envious. We're not even weary, which is a danger also as kids. They have to learn a certain amount of awareness.

Colin Farrell

War Anger Yes

I never got to know my grandparents, and I am envious of my friends who have a special relationship with theirs.

Cressida Bonas

Relationship Wit Who

One of my clearest, happiest memories is of myself at fourteen, sitting up in bed, being handed a large glass of warm buttermilk by my mother because I had a sore throat, and she saying how envious she was that I was reading 'The Catcher in the Rye' for the first time.

David Shields

I go to readings by fiction writers like Alice Walker, and I'm envious of the level of attention they generate.

Derrick Bell

Nature, more of a stepmother than a mother in several ways, has sown a seed of evil in the hearts of mortals, especially in the more thoughtful men, which makes them dissatisfied with their own lot and envious of another's.

Desiderius Erasmus

I find just in terms of free time I'm always envious of people I know who... listen to music, watch films, play games, read books. I have to pick. And I find frequently that if I've got Sophie's Choice, I'll try to keep up with music and keep up with films. So my book reading and comic reading and game playing is terrible and infrequent.

Edgar Wright

In France, I guess there's something like a tyranny in mentalities - we accept success badly, beauty, money. People are certainly envious, and this creates negative energy. This is annoying. I suffered a great deal at one time. I had to fight harder than others. Add to that my marriage to Polanski.

Emmanuelle Seigner

I am beginning to have more powerful enemies and more envious ones, too.

Francisco Goya

I don't think there are many kids who sit around and want to be actors. I don't think there are many kids who want to sit around and want to be senators. But so many of us want to be athletes, so we're envious of them, and we put them up on that pedestal.

Frank Deford

I get very envious of my general news colleagues who are always being handed sexy new stuff like global warming, China, and Donald Trump, while my sports colleagues and I must be eternally satisfied with the same old home-court advantage, soccer, and momentum.

Frank Deford

Super-envious of the fact that Daft Punk can wear robot helmets and be one of the most famous bands in the world, while also understanding that will never be my situation.

Frank Ocean

It's funny that I got to do 'On the Road' because the thing that had the biggest impact on me growing up was reading books. I was very inspired by the book and this spirit of Dean Moriarty and how envious we all are of somebody who can be that carefree.

Garrett Hedlund

Looking at the way the game is played, I'm envious of the conditions. We played on some ropey World Cup surfaces. I genuinely never look back and wish I earned the money they do today, but I do think of that element.

Gary Lineker

I'm so envious of certain actors that have that natural facility to hear a cadence and the rhythm of an accent, that it goes into their brain and just comes out. Chameleon voices.

Geoffrey Rush

The envious man grows lean at the success of his neighbor.

Horace

My greatest happiness is to serve my gracious King and Country and I am envious only of glory; for if it be a sin to covet glory I am the most offending soul alive.

Horatio Nelson

I'm very envious of the few artists who are any good and still do portraits.

Howard Hodgkin

I'm envious of actors. You shoot a movie or you do a season of 'Big Love,' and then you're on hiatus and you have a bunch of free time.

Jack McCollough

I'm always envious of the actors who get to come to work every day and really grow deep roots there, but it is really fun playing lots of different characters.

Jaime Ray Newman

I made a decision to stop feeling envious of other people, to crack on with my life and stop comparing myself with others.

Jess Phillips

England is a fairly envious little country and it's embodied in the press. They don't like anyone being more distinguished than they are.

John Cleese

Instead of being critical of people in authority over you and envious of their position, be happy you're not responsible for everything they have to do. Instead of piling on complaints, thank them for what they do. Overwhelm them with encouragement and appreciation!

Joyce Meyer

Acting is a community where you come in and out of each other's lives. I'm slightly envious of the Golden Age of Hollywood. It must have been frustrating to be owned by the studio, but it was also like being in a company, working with the same people, and that appeals to me.

Katherine Waterston

When I would see my friends with their kids, I was envious that you can use children to get out of just about anything. If you don't feel like going to a dinner party, you could say, 'My kid's sick. I can't make it.' Who's gonna argue with you?

Kevin Nealon

I don't wish anybody ill, I really don't. I've got a lot of faults, but I was never jealous or envious or... it's a waste of time.

Larry King

We lived in a farm village, and no one could afford to buy a car or to fly. We were envious. We couldn't afford any toys. I couldn't imagine making a real car.

Li Shufu

I used to be really envious of those kids who could do their homework and bring it in on time and were organised.

Lily Allen

As time went on, I got envious and wanted to do a lot of stunts myself.

Lloyd Bridges

I didn't love my hair when I was a child. It was lighter than my skin, which made me not love it so much. I was really kind of envious of girls with thicker, longer, more lush hair.

Lupita Nyong'o

Clever of me to become a critic. We critics scrutinize and show off to a higher end. For a greater good. Our manners, our tastes, our declarations are welcomed. Superior for life. Except when we're not. Except when we're dismissed or denounced as envious or petty, as derivatives and dependents by nature. Second class for life.

Margo Jefferson

No one would deny that feeling envy is unpleasant, or that feeling envious sometimes leads us down a path we wish we hadn't taken. Envy is frequently corrosive and destructive.

Maria Konnikova

Acting can be a difficult business. When I was younger, if my mates were doing better than me, I might be a little bit envious, but as I have got older, I love to see actors cracking on and succeeding. The same goes for writers.
