Inappropriateness is funny to me. Rudeness is hilarious.

Zach Galifianakis

I don't like this young crudeness now which is supposed to be comedy on Friday nights.

Alan Sugar

There's a lot of rudeness and sullen behavior and kids that are very entitled and spoiled, just buy me more stuff. I didn't want to raise kids like that.

Amy Chua

I'm accustomed to Internet forums where rudeness and incivility are the rule, where too many people seem to take pride in their insults.

Bryan Burrough

Inconsiderate, rude behavior drives me nuts. And I guess the inconsiderate rudeness of social ineptitude definitely fuels my work.

Cindy Sherman

Rudeness can make me angry.

Clive Owen

Rudeness is a weak imitation of strength.

Rudeness, I think, is the worst.

Without art, the crudeness of reality would make the world unbearable.

George Bernard Shaw

I've been to L.A. before, and I love the sunshine and the fact that people seem so genuinely nice and pleased to see you - which is so different from London. Maybe I'll end up so tired of smiles and helpfulness that I'll long for the rudeness and cynicism of home.

Helen George

Nobody would take checks from Indians, nobody would give them any credit, and nobody would let them drink in the bars. There was a rudeness, a brusqueness, with which the Indians were treated constantly. At a very young age, that had entered my consciousness.

James Welch

I'm not a phony-friendly guy and I'm usually very quiet and not a big laugher, so some people might take that for rudeness and being mean. If anyone ever got that impression, I apologize. I love all my fans and really appreciate all their support!

Jesse McCartney

There cannot be greater rudeness than to interrupt another in the current of his discourse.

'Honesty' in social life is often used as a cover for rudeness. But there is quite a difference between being candid in what you're talking about, and people voicing their insulting opinions under the name of honesty.

Judith Martin

Etiquette does not render you defenseless. If it did, even I wouldn't subscribe to it. But rudeness in retaliation for rudeness just doubles the amount of rudeness in the world.

Judith Martin

America is a model of force and freedom and moderation - with all the coarseness and rudeness of its people.

Lord Byron

The great accomplishment of Jobs's life is how effectively he put his idiosyncrasies - his petulance, his narcissism, and his rudeness - in the service of perfection.

Malcolm Gladwell

Rudeness is not having fun, and if it is, it's at the expense of another person.

Marco Pierre White

The chief symptom of adolescence is a state of expectation, a tendency towards creative work, and a need for the strengthening of self-confidence. Suddenly, the child becomes very sensitive to the rudeness and humiliations which he had previously suffered with patient indifference.

Maria Montessori

The Japanese have perfected good manners and made them indistinguishable from rudeness.
