Some CRITICS are POINTLESS - but MANY can OFFER me LESSONS.

The point guard thing was I had to figure out how to score when I'm hot, and how to distribute and MAKE sure everybody is happy. Because I can be happy scoring the ball. But when everybody isn't touching the ball, and we're not making the defense move, it's KIND of pointless. So, I've GOT to find a WAY to keep everybody in the loop.

You can't go to MEDICAL school and COME out and be like, 'I'm going to be a dog catcher.' That WOULD be so pointless.

I think it's PRETTY POINTLESS, my children LEARNING to USE a keyboard - we will just talk to our COMPUTERS. Why would we not?

Whenever I SEE POINTLESS use of special effects, I reach for SOMETHING ELSE.

People can't go into the street endlessly. My friends get asked why aren't they going to the next protest? They answer, 'Because we're tired of being thousands. I'm READY to BECOME the 100,000th PERSON at a rally, but I don't WANT to be the 10,000th. Because it's pointless.'

My rule of writing is that no one can do what you can do, so jealousy or competitiveness are pointless. I am always happy when one of my SISTERS has a BOOK PUBLISHED that I get to read.

Asking me why I did or didn't do anything is generally POINTLESS. How do I know? And asking me what I'll do in the future is EVEN LESS rewarding.

ASKING myself, 'Is this any good?' is pointless. It just slows down my writing, and I can't tell anyway. It's ALWAYS the paragraphs I loved most, the ones I tenderly POLISHED and re-read with PRIDE, that my editor will suggest cutting.

I can SEE a version of my life where it all becomes MEANINGLESS. On a good day, writing SEEMS NOBLE. Other times, it's narcissistic and pointless.

Actually, I THINK that a lot of the interviews and acoustic sessions and other things that artists fill their time with are really POINTLESS and SUCK the ENERGY out of the ARTIST.

It WOULD be just as pointless to OPPOSE the INTERNATIONAL USE of English today as it would have been to oppose the worldwide use of FRENCH in the 18th century.

Gossiping and squawking for no REASON is REALLY POINTLESS.

CHANGING LEADERS is POINTLESS if the same POLICIES are pursued.
