->Such work cannot bring any real satisfaction, and in the course of reconciling himself to the doing of it, a man has to make himself so cynical that he can no longer derive whole-hearted satisfaction from anything whatever...Without self-respect genuine happiness is scarcely possible. And the man who is ashamed of his work can hardly achieve self-respect.
-->--'''Creator/BertrandRussell'''

->And we go through rewrite after rewrite after rewrite and the script doesn’t get any better and I see what is going on and I don’t want to be trapped in an office where we have hypocrites running the place. I can’t deal with this, [[CreatorBreakdown my health was already starting to suffer]]. So I started taking vitamins and nothing is getting better and I said 'I can’t deal with this hypocrisy'.

-->-- '''Creator/DaveChappelle''' to a heckling audience

->After reading a few thousand emails like the [[FanDumb ones above]], I seriously contemplated taking down my site and just posting links to animal porn for you retards. You're all idiots, and I've lost what little respect I had for you.

->I know Marc was really looking forward to the moment when Ben would finally [[LegacyCharacter don the Spider-Man suit]], and getting the chance to write about the "new" web-slinger, but that pivotal moment just kept [[StatusQuoIsGod getting pushed further and further back]], amidst more and more gimmicky crossovers and an overall series direction that was spiraling out of control.

-->--{{Wrestling/WCW}} announcer '''Wrestling/BobbyHeenan'''

->By all accounts he was grieving for the loss of Creator/KatyManning and Roger Delgado, he was working with the knowledge that the role that had made him a household name was soon to come to an end and he was [[NothingIsTheSameAnymore no longer surrounded by comforts]] such as UNIT and the Brigadier on a regular basis...[[Creator/JonPertwee Pertwee]] seems to breeze through one scene to the next without a care in the world. Is this really the same Doctor who screamed out in frustration when the world was burning in [[{{Recap/DoctorWhoS7E4Inferno}} Inferno]]?

->Archer’s last big character moment is to mount a philosophical objection to the very idea of ''Star Trek'', to suggest that the universe is [[CosmicHorrorStory full of horror]] rather than wonder and that mankind likely has no business looking to the stars for something majestic or beautiful. Archer sounds resentful of what the ''Star Trek'' universe has taken from him.\\\
Again, this is entirely understandable. Rick Berman and Brannon Braga had given well over a decade of each of their lives to the franchise, and had seen all of that time and energy disgarded by a network that would not last much longer either. The duo had given everything to ''Star Trek'', only to find themselves hated in the fan press and cut off at the knees by a new management that understood nothing of the franchise.

->It's an old story: a visionary director tired of constantly having to justify his mad-prophet vision to buttoned-down bean counters with calculators for hearts so he sets up shop on his own. It's gonna be different, this time, see? This time, the inmates will be RunningTheAsylum and making mad moolah in the process. Three months later, the now penniless, despondent visionary comes crawling back to his old studio, begging for any job, no matter how dispiriting or humiliating.

->The experience was so bad for Jamie Hewlett and Alan Martin that they’ve referred to it as 'horrible,' and Hewlett turned down what Wikipedia calls a 'big money’ offer from Dreamworks for the film rights to ''{{Music/Gorillaz}}'' rather than lose creative control. But yeah, 'mess' is kind of the word for it.

->It just feels like after his debacle involving Mia Farrow and his underage stepdaughter, [[Creator/WoodyAllen (Woody) Allen]] is perfectly fine by running on cruise control. Whereas before he was always venturing into new territory and breaking new ground, now he says 'fuck it' and is content playing it safe with his drawer ideas. [[Film/BulletsOverBroadway What if a mobster became a playwright?]] Fuck it, I can stretch that out to 90 minutes and ride things out another year. A Greek tragedy set to [[WriteWhoYouKnow banal upper class New Yorkers' petty issues]]? Fuck it, I don’t feel like doing anything meaningful.

->Ray Romano comes over, awkwardly displaying his teeth as in every single photo of him that exists, and says in his depressed [[Series/TheMuppetShow Kermit voice]]: 'Are you ready for the scene, Gene?' Hackman slowly turns his head. '[[ThousandYardStare No, Ray. I don't think I am]].' He walks off of the set, starts running, and never stops. They have to finish the movie with CGI. (That's how it went in my imagination, anyway.)

->Following in the footsteps of Jake Lloyd and Creator/NataliePortman, Hayden Christensen is calling out ''Star Wars'' for ripping a stinky fart on his career... there was a reason why you went from seeing his dumb face everywhere to seeing it only when you searched the words “10 Worst Characters in Star Wars” on the internet.

->We were ''supposed'' to feel fooled and betrayed by [[Creator/HideoKojima Kojima]]. This should be obvious from playing the game and studying its constant themes of layered deception, but history has proven that [[PoesLaw most people never got the joke]] or appreciated his sly attempt at making (what matches his own definition of) art. {{Postmodernism}} has that effect... If so, then perhaps the universal backlash he received was enough to convince him that games could not be art after all, hence his answer in [an] interview.

->im done. ''VideoGame/{{FEZ}} II'' is canceled. goodbye.

->You see, whether you can draw like this or not, being able to think up this kind of design, it depends on whether or not you can say to yourself, "Oh, yeah, girls like this exist in real life." If you don’t spend time watching real people, you can’t do this, because you’ve never seen it. Some people spend their lives interested only in themselves. Almost all Japanese animation is produced with hardly any basis taken from observing real people, you know. It’s produced by humans who can’t stand looking at other humans. And that’s why the industry is full of otaku!
-->--'''Creator/HayaoMiyazaki''' (often [[BeamMeUpScotty erroneously paraphrased]] as saying "Anime was a mistake. It's nothing but trash.")

->I didn't want anything to do with a group of obsessives who paid to get together to talk incessantly about a TV show that had been cancelled. It wasn't logical...
-->--'''Creator/WilliamShatner''', on his reluctance to attend ''Franchise/StarTrek'' conventions

->Alright now that I have your ears as well as your spines; allow me to indulge myself for a moment and tell you all what every content creator has always wanted to say to their audience: '''FUCK ALL Y'ALL!!'''

->I just gave up, because [[TheyJustDidntCare they didn't care]], and they didn't know what they were doing.
