Xavier Dolan

Sometimes I find it tiresome to write actions and describe the scene in a very intricate way so that every crew member understands where we are going - that I can find a little bit long and tiresome. But dialogue is just all my life. There's no way I could ever be challenged, not challenged, but I'm always so happy to write dialogue.

Patrick Kavanagh

In the dear dead days beyond recall, when I was in my prime as a film critic, the industry was booming. Hollywood, to give them their due, always called it the industry, through quite a few imagined it as an art form and went through several hours regularly at tiresome films in the sacred cause of art.

Irish Poet

Claire Messud

American Novelist

Yann Martel

In all big cities the style of life is the same. Same endless array of restaurants; same big museums with the usual suspects; same anonymity, which can be thrilling when you're young but which I found got tiresome.

Canadian Author

Tawny Kitaen

I'd really like to do a prime time series. That way I could work in the same city I live in and enjoy regular hours. Movies have taken me all over the world. And that gets tiresome very quickly.

Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Grown-ups never understand anything for themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.

French Writer

Everything in life can be tiring and tiresome if we don't have the ability to look at it as if it's the first time we've ever done it.

Belgian Dramatist

When you are involved with the film and the character, you don't find it tiresome at all. But if you think it's tiresome, it will be.

Indian Actor

 and I make all of these by hand, and it's really tedious. It takes a long, long time to make these scores, and right now I'm working on a piece that's 180 pages in length, and it's just a big chunk of my life, and I'm just pulling out hair. I have a lot of it, and that's a good thing I suppose. So this gets really boring and really tiresome for me,

Everything you need to...

 into cliche there's an easy sentimentality to the idea of someone being sold for for instance oh and the way my Irish mother used to forgive a rather tiresome acquaintance by saying
