‐‐ Elton John
I hate to say this, but I'll repeat it: After death, all we know that you do is stink.
‐‐ Jack Kevorkian
I hate to say this, but I'm one of those people with an extremely fast metabolism. I eat, eat, eat, and yet I can't seem to gain any weight.

I hate to shop.
‐‐ Alicia Silverstone
I hate to sound blase about it, but literary status is not important to me. Being happy is important to me.

I hate to sound cliche, but I understand why people love to cook. It's fun!
‐‐ Jacob Young
I hate to sound esoteric, but there is something about a house that leads you to that one chair, that one corner, where you just sit and feel comfortable.
‐‐ Francisco Costa
I hate to sound like a romantic adolescent, but I believe artists don't generally see art as a career choice; they simply can't overcome their desire to make art, and will live on little income for as long as they have to, before they start to sell their work - or give up and get a paying job.
‐‐ Charles Saatchi
I hate to sound like Julie the cruise director but it's people that I think about all the time.

‐‐ Karl Rove
I hate to sound this way but, 'Why me? Why me with dementia?'

‐‐ Alexander Downer
I hate to spread rumours, but what else can one do with them?

‐‐ Kim Kardashian
I hate to talk about myself like that, but if I had to straight up tell a head coach or an owner why they should take me, it's because I'm the best in everything I've done.
‐‐ Robert Griffin III
I hate to tell you this, but I did not even like visiting Versailles. I found it just too ornate. It was like a complete diet of cotton candy, marzipan, and whipped cream. It gave me the mental equivalent of one of those toothaches you get when you bite into something too sweet.
‐‐ Kathryn Lasky
I hate to tell you this, but there's an entire subset of people out there who think of me as quite a dull actor. And that's the word used, and often - dull.

‐‐ Margaret Atwood
I hate to think life is just facts and laws.
‐‐ Ang Lee
I hate to think of a day where a compelling book or a compelling authorial voice would be lost simply because that person doesn't have a Web site. But I think that, to use the Internet in a positive way, to turn people on to reading, is something that authors shouldn't really shy away from necessarily.
‐‐ Marisha Pessl
I hate to think of the day when nobody remembers me as an actor and I can't get good tables in restaurants.
‐‐ Paul Henreid
I hate to toot my own horn but I just feel that I know people and I know fans and I don't feel there is that Angelina Jolie/Brad Pitt barrier with me. I've always felt from everyone I talk to that the fans feel like I'm tangible and they can talk to me and they know me.

I hate ugliness. You know I'm allergic to ugliness.
‐‐ Imelda Marcos
I hate vacations. I hate them. I have no fun on them. I get nothing done. People sit and relax, but I don't want to relax. I want to see something.
‐‐ Paul Theroux
I hate vacations. If you can build buildings, why sit on the beach?

I hate wasting people's time.
‐‐ Daniel Day-Lewis
I hate wasting time.
‐‐ Robert Plant
I hate wasting time or money and that happens all the time for no good reason, and then people save money by skimping on the important things.
