Ants are so much like human beings as to be an embarrassment. They farm fungi raise aphids as livestock launch armies into war use chemical sprays to alarm and confuse enemies capture slaves engage in child labour exchange information ceaselessly. They do everything but watch television.

I've worked for 55 years. I'm going to take a little time off to tell you the truth. It's just that now in the last couple of weeks Gelman is pouring it on. 'Farewell to Regis!' It's getting embarrassing.

Reclaiming the word 'fat' was the most empowering step in my progress. I stopped using it for insult or degradation and instead replaced it with truth because the truth is that I am fat and that's ok. So now when someone calls me fat I agree whereas before I would get embarrassed and emotional.

A lot of people would be embarrassed to admit that they were on 'Barney' but I embrace the fact. I just had such a wonderful time doing that show. I learned what a camera and prop is and all that. I learned my manners too so I guess that's a good thing!

To an adolescent there is nothing in the world more embarrassing than a parent.

I'm embarrassed every time I look a teacher in the eye because we ask them to do so much for so little.

I did a shoot for 'Sports Illustrated ' and my grandpa called me and asked when my issue of 'Playboy' was coming out. It was hilarious as well as embarrassing.

I used to be a discipline problem which caused me embarrassment until I realized that being a discipline problem in a racist society is sometimes an honor.

A simple compliment goes a really long way - for a guy to just come over and say 'You have great hair' or 'I really like your dress ' and then just smile and walk away. That's a great move because he's sort of putting himself out there by doing that but it won't lead to any embarrassment if the girl isn't interested.

I was so embarrassed about mispronouncing words. I just knew how to smile.
