It's hard to say how certain stories just punch us in the heart and the brain at the same time at the end. I suppose that's what we're all looking for. But each story has its own valence, its own way of saying goodbye to you.

It's hard to say that it gets any better to be at your alma mater and run a major college football program.
‐‐ Kirby Smart
It's hard to say things without coming off in a certain way, but at a young age, I felt very driven. All I ever wanted to be is a soldier of cinema.
‐‐ Harmony Korine
It's hard to say this about a guy like Eddie Van Halen, one of the greatest guitar players who ever lived, but he's really limited to a style and they're locked into it.

It's hard to say when my interest in writing began, or how. My mother read to my sister and me every night, and we always loved playing make-believe games. I had a well-primed imagination. I didn't start thinking about writing as a serious pursuit, a career I could have, until after college.
‐‐ Sara Zarr
It's hard to say when or if we will actually arrive at that place called 'post-racial', or, better yet, post-racism.

‐‐ Lily James
It's hard to separate your remembered childhood and its emotional legacy from the childhoods that are being lived out in your house, by your children. If you're lucky, your kids will help you make that distinction.
‐‐ Ayelet Waldman
It's hard to shape glass. It took me years of practice, and as a result, I've never gotten bored with it. It's difficult. Every time I come into the studio, I've got some sort of new challenge. And something that I would like to learn how to do better, and the material never disappoints me.

It's hard to stop loving someone on cue, especially when he's still so kind and loving toward you.
‐‐ Kristan Higgins
It's hard to stop wars, and it's hard to stop the abuse of the planet and all of those things. I guess you just do what you can do and voice your concern.
‐‐ Alex Lifeson
It's hard to take people seriously who say you're totally irresponsible if you go out and climb mountains when you have kids, because they clearly don't understand the circumstances. You can't impose your own acceptance of risk on other people - that's not fair.
‐‐ Jimmy Chin
It's hard to talk about acting because I don't think it's quite as explicit as a lot of people might think. And that's probably the best thing about it.
‐‐ Paul Dano
It's hard to talk about it without sounding like a hippie. But trees are really inspiring to me. They're like the masters of the earth.

It's hard to talk about love without sounding either cheesy, or revealing too much personal stuff.

‐‐ Annie Lennox
It's hard to tell the story if you're not involved yourself, emotionally.
‐‐ Chiwetel Ejiofor
It's hard to tell what an entire series is going to be based on the first few episodes, or even on the first season. And it's sad because you see great casts and good ideas that don't get that opportunity to grow and show what it could turn into.
‐‐ Kaley Cuoco
It's hard to tell whether the ship or airplane - they're all the same, I'm convinced - is male or female; it may shift back and forth.
‐‐ John C. Hawkes
It's hard to tell which assets will be toxic. The best way to ensure that only shareholders and banks feel it is have adequate capital.
‐‐ Alan Greenspan
It's hard to tell with these Internet startups if they're really interested in building companies or if they're just interested in the money. I can tell you, though: If they don't really want to build a company, they won't luck into it. That's because it's so hard that if you don't have a passion, you'll give up.
‐‐ Steve Jobs
It's hard to tell yourself to get ready when it's like, 'I need to make this freaking team first.'
‐‐ Drew Pomeranz
It's hard to think it's important to try out as cheerleader when you're starring on Broadway. But you do kind of miss the things that I now see my children doing. I'm just happy they are not actors. The Valentine's Day dance is really important. Pitching in Little League is very important. And the medals and the scouts are really important.
‐‐ Bonnie Bedelia
It's hard to think of a 16-month child being anything other than a delight to be around.
‐‐ Gerry Adams
It's hard to think of another body of work that is more universally beloved - I don't think I've ever met someone who has encountered 'Calvin and Hobbes' without falling for them.
‐‐ Anthony Marra
It's hard to think of any tool, any instrument, any object in history with which so many developed so close a relationship so quickly as we have with our phones.
