Scott Weiland

Every single thing I've done has made me who I am today. The only thing I would take back is hurting the people that I love, and the people who I love have already read my lyrics and heard my apologies.

American Musician

Idris Elba

When I look at my body of work, I've played a lot of characters who are morally conflicted - 'I'm right, no I'm wrong, I don't know what to do!' I want to play more characters who don't care as much, and who aren't as measured. They are what they are, no apologies.

British Actor

Joyce Giraud

With me, what you see is what you get. Yes, call me naive, but I love life. I am happy, and for that, I make no apologies. I do like to see the best in people, and when someone is nice to my face, I tend to believe them.

English Writer

Sonny Perdue

I'm not sure about public apologies on behalf of other people as far as the motivation for them.

American Politician

Robin Quivers

An apology might help, but you can change your life without one.

American Celebrity

Kitty Kelley

A hero is someone we can admire without apology.

American Journalist

An apology requires genuine remorse. Insincere apologies may offend rather than mend.

Sincerity Matters

Different cultures have varying expectations for apologies. Some may prefer directness, others subtlety.

Cultural Variations

A timely apology may prevent a situation from escalating. Delay can imply insincerity or indifference.

Timing

In academic contexts, 'apology' often implies a formal justification rather than a typical expression of sorrow.
