Students now arrive at the university ignorant and cynical about our political heritage, lacking the wherewithal to be either inspired by it or seriously critical of it
Allan Bloom
If you would have asked me what I thought of America before I came over here I would have used the word `corny`. And then you come over here and you find that it`s not corny at all. British people are very cynical, they cannot bear someone else`s success....
Simon Cowell
...if you get a bunch of cynical people making a big-budget Hollywood movie, the irony is it doesn`t work. [referring to his experience with `The Last Action Hero`]
Zak Penn
Films that are entertainments give simple answers but I think that`s ultimately more cynical, as it denies the viewer room to think. If there are more answers at the end, then surely it is a richer experience.
Michael Haneke
I`m not cynical. I`m merely stating a fact. Most filmmakers` entire body of knowledge is of other movies. When they describe things, they describe them in relation to other movies. That`s why we have so many cyclical movies that look like other movies. Bu...
John Malkovich
[On Ace in the Hole (1951)] I was attacked by every paper because of that movie. They loathed it. It was cynical, they said. Cynical, my ass. I tell you, you read about a plane crash somewhere nearby and you want to check out the scene, you can`t get to i...

I loved playing Edward Scissorhands because there`s nothing cynical, jaded or impure about him. It`s almost a letdown to look in the mirror and realize I`m not Edward.
Johnny Depp
I`ve always tried to present a positive view of the world in my work. It`s so much easier to be negative and cynical and predict doom for the world than it is to try and figure out how to make things better. We have an obligation to do the latter.
Jim Henson
[On preparing for his character in Liberty Heights (1999)] The big goal for me was just to get the mental state of mind, this kind of pure innocence. My generation is pretty jaded, pretty cynical. Everything happens really fast. Too much, too fast. So I g...
Ben Foster
[On being a dad] I`m already seeing my daughter`s cynical sense of humor and she`s 6! I bought these shoes, and I`m thinking I`m a cool dad, I`m going to show her my new half-boot shoes. So I said, "What do you think of these?" And she`s like, "Mmm no, no...
Steve Carell
It was always assumed that the classics were a good line of work for me because I had a decent voice and the right nose. But anybody who comes from an essentially cynical European society is going to be bewitched by the sheer enthusiasm of the New World. ...
Daniel Day-Lewis
[in 1970] My humor was never cruel or cynical. I just took life and poked fun at it. We made it so it could be understood the world over, without language barriers. We seem to have conquered the time barrier, too.
Harold Lloyd
When you play music with someone who has a heart rather than playing with someone who is just doing it for money or is cynical it makes all the difference.
Greg Lake
We are at heart so profoundly anarchistic that the only form of state we can imagine living in is Utopian; and so cynical that the only Utopia we can believe in is authoritarian.
Alois Hadamczik
The idea of it was I was thinking about how when you`re a kid you get this unconditional love and you spend the rest of your life trying to find that, but you can`t because everyone`s in it for their own thing. It`s kind of cynical.
Sam Endicott
The Carrie in the plot was too much like the Carrie in the book. She smoked, she swore a lot, she was very hard, very cynical. I could never have pulled it off.
Kristin Davis
The camera relieves us of the burden of memory. It surveys us like God, and it surveys for us. Yet no other god has been so cynical, for the camera records in order to forget.
Alicia Hollowell
The American sentiment after 9-11, the heartbreak, the fear and the anger, all of that was used to get us into Iraq and I think that`s incredibly cynical for them to have done that,
Anthony Chapman

Ajay Gupta
Saying you have a political solution is like saying you can write a pop song that`s going to stay at the top of the list forever. I don`t have many illusions about this, but I`m not cynical about it.
Alaina Walker
People are neither dismissive nor cynical, ... They believe that the changes will matter and some of the early evidence, such as the rate of goal-scoring, bears out their expectations.
Bruce Anderson
It`s very easy to be cynical about the hall of fame. But on the other hand, it`s really a beautiful thing for someone like me. I dedicated my entire life to this music.
Tom Petty
It`s so easy to manipulate an audience, but it`s nearly always clear that you are being manipulated. I think even people that are not critically attuned are aware of cynical manipulation in film.
John Boorman
It`s an indication of how cynical our society has become that any kind of love story with a sad theme is automatically ridiculed as sentimental junk.
