It would be disingenuous of me to blanket-ly love everything a woman has produced simply to make a statement that we're all in this together. No. We're in Hollywood trying to be competitive, and get numbers, have our eyes on the Nielsens and things like that.

Mindy Kaling

I want to gesture toward a poetry of ourselves and others under the conditions of twenty-first-century absolutism, making us dimensional in a time when the human concrete is continually erased by state and religious violence and by disingenuous jargon serving state power.

Adrienne Rich

It's disingenuous to... pretend the sources of our money don't impact the policy we write - you just can't serve two masters.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

I think it's disingenuous for people to talk in their living rooms about government collapsing, the possibility of total anarchy, but when someone says it in public, it's so terrifying they have to persecute that person.

Augustus Sol Invictus

While it is clear that we need to make some adjustments to protect Social Security for the long term, it is disingenuous to say that the trust fund is facing a crisis.

Carl Levin

I don't want to be polite. I don't think campaigning is polite. That's a disingenuous effort.

Carl Paladino

Throughout my football career, I've always been somebody who's been very aware, and I know when the camera is on me, and I know how to be polished. I can see how that might come off as disingenuous.

Colton Underwood

If you're a comedian, it's a bit of a choice whether or not you want to be funny when you're not performing because it might feel disingenuous. In the same way, I don't show people magic tricks in social situations any more.

Derren Brown

Their argument is that most shows are losers, which is true, but it's also disingenuous to say, 'We are not going to take the risk unless it is totally covered by the few successful shows that are out there.'

Dick Wolf

I am aware it's easy and may be fashionable to pose with a slum child, and the irony of getting the media along means that it can come across as disingenuous. But you take these things on board, and you hope you mean it whenever you get stuck into something.

Erin O'Connor

I think there's something very disingenuous about literally all people who say that they don't care about anyone's approval.

Faith Salie

I don't want to sound disingenuous here - controversy is obviously good for business, especially if your business is satire. And it does amplify the discussion - in my view, a good thing.

Garry Trudeau

Anti-frackers are disingenuous. They bow to the religion of environmentalism.

Harold Hamm

It would be a lie to say that people are coming to adoption with joy at all times. Hope, perhaps, but it would be disingenuous to say that every part coming to an adoption isn't seriously grieving.

Jennifer Gilmore

And I think we as a people need to stop being disingenuous about what the Constitution provides for. It does not provide for this all-encompassing power that we've seen exercised over the last several decades. It's what's gotten us into this bankrupt position.

Joe Miller

It would be disingenuous to say I don't have some sensitivity to the seamy side of issues.

John F. Kennedy Jr.

It seems disingenuous to ask a writer why she, or he, is writing about a violent subject when the world and history are filled with violence.

Joyce Carol Oates

I think it's disingenuous to believe that being born into a privileged world means you feel like you are having an easy time.

Laura Wade

I felt devalued and disrespected. The energy behind it felt disingenuous and motivated by corporate profit.

Lisa Bonet

People have referred to me as 'innocent', which makes me feel disingenuous.

Mae Martin

Yes, Justin Bieber is a contrivance. Yes, Justin Bieber's lyrics are insipid - worse still, disingenuous. Yes, his tattoos stink. Yes, he's lousy at skateboarding. But what does any of this actually matter? In case you missed it, Bieber won.
