Soulmate is an overused term, but a true soul connection is very rare, and very real.
Hilary Duff

I think it tends to be overused and can be a little bit gimmicky. A lot of people are using 3-D now because they feel have they have to... that will come and go and the pictures that deserve to be in 3-D will continue to be. When it's done bad, it can make you carsick.
Joe Johnston

Steve McQueen is a genius. And I think that word is overused, but I think with Steve it's rightly used. He's a genius.
Lupita Nyong'o
Image
I think what some people are doing with effects is starting to get silly. It's overused.

Use lots of exclamation points. They love to be overused.

I'm often asked how I define success. It's an overused term, but I fundamentally view this elusive beast as a combination of two things - achievement and appreciation. One isn't enough: Achievement without appreciation makes you ambitious but miserable. Appreciation without achievement makes you unambitious but happy.
Tim Ferriss

I suppose with any good writing and interesting characters, you can have that awfully overused word [...] - a jouuuuuurney.
Alan Rickman
Image
Melodies are just honest. They can only be what they are. Words have the capacity for deception. Theyre all full of subtext, and some of them are cliche and overused and vernacular. Theyre tricky. All I can say is, words are tricky.
Andrew Bird

This word gets overused in describing actors but I think it applies to Mike [Tyson] in this case - he was totally fearless. He jumped in and played with us comedically and improvised a lot. A lot of jokes in those scenes with him are from him improvising.
Ed Helms

In England The Day After, though unpopular with viewers, seems to have confirmed the average Englishman's mindless prejudice against Kansas. Shortly after the film portrayed that state being turned into an overused barbecue pit by nuclear weapons, support for British nuclear weapons rose a full percentage point.
Emmett Tyrrell

I think that Lethal Weapon-style dialogue is overused, it's a necessary aspect of high action films where you have to have the smart retort. You have to say I'll be back baby and stuff. It's not my style.
George Lucas

Love can become overused.
Hannes Holm

The weapons an author has at her disposal are flawed. There are words that feel shapeless and overused. Love, for example. I could write the word love a thousand times and it would mean a thousand different things to different readers.
Jodi Picoult

Well, I think “likability” is an overused word. I don’t watch people 'cause I like them I watch them because they’re compelling. Sympathetic is a little different... Likable just thins you out. Working to make a character likable is what kills most TV shows.
Louis C. K.

Even if I had $200 million, I’m very wary of overusing CGI. I think it’s a great tool and it can be used really effectively, but I feel like it does tend to be overused and especially in sci-fi stuff.
Rian Johnson

I'd like to change the depictions of life, love, and adventure under what's known as the typical, overused backdrop of Hollywood.
Romany Malco
Image
I've always said that the word 'genius,' especially in Hollywood, is way overused.
Ted McGinley

The word adventure has gotten overused. For me, when everything goes wrong - that's when adventure starts
Yvon Chouinard

When you know what you like and what you want and you're able to nudge things in the right direction, that's more profitable than ever, because there's so much information out there. Everything's saturated. Tastemaker is probably the most overused word, but I still think it's important.
A-Trak
Image
A trite word is an overused word which has lost its identity like an old coat in a second-hand shop. The familiar grows dull and we no longer see, hear, or taste it.
Anais Nin
Image
I think the most overused words in our vocabulary in the South are black and white.
Artur Davis
Image
Worldwide is an overused word. But it's true that being known has given me new ideas and a chance to get to know new people who think in different ways. I want to hear myself referred to as Elie Saab, without labels or titles.
Elie Saab

Genius is an overused word. The world has known only about a half dozen geniuses. I got only fairly near.
Fritz Kreisler
