‐‐ Ferran Adria
It's very hard to be black in this country and hate America. It's really hard to live like that. I would actually argue it's impossible to fully see yourself.
‐‐ Ta-Nehisi Coates
It's very hard to be cut off in Glasgow because it's such a small city. You know, we have the highest rate of per-capita imprisonment, certainly in Britain, maybe in Europe. We have a very high murder rate here. So most people will know someone who's been to prison.

‐‐ Emma Watson
It's very hard to do that many things at the same time - having to dance and sing and be on a horse with a sword. It does get quite confusing.

It's very hard to find a pianist that's willing to play the so-called accompanist role on part of the program and yet be capable of being a great solo pianist that you would want for the big sonatas.
‐‐ Joshua Bell
It's very hard to find men's clothes that do what you want, especially when you go through them as quickly as I do. I need them to be flashy, but I never like to be overdressed. I need to make a statement, but I hate wearing too many clothes.
‐‐ Mika
It's very hard to find someone who's successful and dislikes what they do.
‐‐ Malcolm Gladwell

It's very hard to imagine the phrase 'consumer society' used so cheerfully, and interpreted so enthusiastically, in England.
‐‐ Julie Burchill
It's very hard to just have a pure form like a Hulu or a YouTube to be successful in China because our view is, users come to a platform; they really don't care whether it is professional or whether it's a user-generated, or it's premium, you see. They want to come to a big database to be able to find the content they want.
‐‐ Victor Koo
It's very hard to keep an uncrackable encryption if you share it with the government.
‐‐ John McAfee

‐‐ Laura Linney
It's very hard to remain a student in life.
‐‐ Carol Kane
It's very hard to respect people on holiday - everybody looks so silly at the beach, it makes you hate humanity - but when you see people at their work they elicit respect, whether it's a mechanic, a stonemason or an accountant.
‐‐ Alain de Botton
It's very hard to say I'm surrealist. It's like saying I'm poetic. It's not something you want necessarily to be aware of.
‐‐ Michel Gondry
It's very hard to self-motivate without someone standing over you snarling, ready to hurl the chalk at your head at the slightest slackening.
‐‐ Rachel Johnson
It's very hard to step into a job when people are just dismissing you as a pretty face, and saying you got your job only because your surname is McMahon.
‐‐ Julian McMahon
It's very hard to teach someone how to write a song if to begin with there's no creative crop to harvest.
‐‐ Barry Mann
It's very hard to tell an actor, 'Stop acting.' It's easy to tell a non-actor, because they're embarrassed when they act. They get ashamed when they do something cliche, whereas an actor is happy.

It's very hard to write humor.
‐‐ Mark Strand
It's very hard when you do photocalls. You have to be on time, you have to be all cheesy smiles, and have your hair and make-up done, and be into it. It's not like a photoshoot. You have to really put the cheese factor in. I think you have to be more willing to go for it.
‐‐ Georgia Salpa
It's very hard when you eat out every day for a living, and a new restaurant comes along and you haven't got that same vigour that you had 10 years ago.
