When an acquaintance goes by I often STEP BACK from my WINDOW, not so much to SPARE him the EFFORT of acknowledging me as to spare myself the embarrassment of seeing that he has not done so.

I often feel a discomfort, a kind of embarrassment, when I EXPLAIN elementary-particle PHYSICS to laypeople. It all seems so ARBITRARY - the ridiculous COLLECTION of FUNDAMENTAL particles, the lack of pattern to their masses.

For an overwhelming majority of my life, my COUNTRY has been a source of PAIN, FEAR, and EMBARRASSMENT.

You can IMAGINE my EMBARRASSMENT when I killed the WRONG GUY.

I have to learn to IGNORE my feelings. Not just the FEELING of hunger and the feeling of full, but the feeling of embarrassment, too. I have to REMEMBER that this is only weird if I MAKE it weird.

I'm going to become the best-remembered ARTIST of my generation by staying AWAY from the PARTY as often as POSSIBLE. That way, people will remember me, not because I was great, but because I didn't cause them any LATER embarrassment.

I do have a LITTLE bit of trouble with CANDOR around the things that I used to do. I THINK it's probably just resultant of shame and embarrassment and not wanting to be DEFINED by the LIFE that I used to live.

I REALIZE there's a LINE between looking good and being an embarrassment. I don't WANT to be one of those dames who is trying too hard to APPEAR young. I'm Mamie Van Doren, and I fully intend to ACT my age.

I was 15 YEARS old, taken out into a parking lot on the set of 'Donny & Marie,' and at the time I was 5-foot-5 and 103 pounds - like, NOTHING. I was told I was an EMBARRASSMENT to my family and the show WOULD be canceled if I didn't LOSE 10 pounds.

I don't KNOW - is EVERYTHING the U.S. does a SHOCKING EMBARRASSMENT?

I'm ROMANTIC to the POINT of EMBARRASSMENT.

The NFL PENSION is the worst in the WORLD of BUSINESS. It's an embarrassment.

I don't REALLY EXPERIENCE MUCH EMBARRASSMENT.
