I always knew I wanted to be on air and travel the world and tell people’s stories. I wanted to convey something from other cultures to the U.S. – and vice versa.
‘Short Term 12’ was such a marathon. It’s like trying to convey the same emotional depth as ‘The Gambler’ but with less time and a fingernail’s worth of the budget.

Emphasize your strengths on your resume, in your cover letters and in your interviews. It may sound obvious, but you’d be surprised how many people simply list everything they’ve ever done.

You do not examine legislation in the light of the benefits it will convey if properly administered, but in the light of the wrongs it would do and the harms it would cause if improperly administered.
If I remember correctly, a writer is someone who wants to convey information. Language or writing is a code.
If you think of ‘Chandelier,’ Sia’s singing her heart out about all those moments before she got sober, and that’s one way to convey emotion and make people hear every word.

Many of my works fall into the category of ‘Zeitgeist novels’. Yet I hope that they aren’t only reportage, but also attempts to convey the sense of the present to the future.

The only creatures that are evolved enough to convey pure love are dogs and infants.
It’s really the tone that people use to convey things sometimes that can either become a compliment or an insult. It’s not always what you are saying, it’s about how you say it.

I like the fact that I have the power to convey a lot of emotion through my songs. I like to channel that when I’m singing. I think it’s just a mix of R&B, soul, but then I kind of move more into the pop world and electronic pop and stuff like that.
If I have been fortunate enough to have risen to a level in this business where people would actually listen to me, then I think I have a duty to convey all truths that I encounter.
I think that if you can convey a kind of a complexity, a mystery, a truth in stillness, that, to me, is really worth striving for, and I totally agree with Michael Fassbender in that less is more. If it’s going on inside you, the camera will find it.
I’m trying to convey to my audience that you really can’t judge a book by its cover, and there’s more to the universe than you can see with your eyes.

How or by what magic is it, that we convey our thoughts to one another with such case and accuracy?

If you watch the movie ‘Ghost’ with Patrick Swayze, you see an accurate portrayal of what I believe. Spirits are stuck here. They want to convey a message to the living, but they can’t – they are on a different frequency. But when they are heard, they are helping both us and themselves.
The message I like to convey to women and girls across the globe is that there is no glass ceiling.
Japan had the big earthquake in 2011, and the Olympics will be a good opportunity to bring strength to the people of the Tohoku region – and also to show everyone around the world that Japan is doing fine again. These are messages we have to convey through the power of sport.
A nation’s poets are its true owners; and by the stroke of the pen they convey the title-deeds of its real possessions to strangers and aliens.
I think photography is closest to writing, not painting. It’s closest to writing because you are using this machine to convey an idea. The image shouldn’t need a caption; it should already convey an idea.

A fact must be assimilated with, or discriminated fromm, some other fact or facts, in order to be raised to the dignity of a truth, and made to convey the least knowledge to the mind.
I think that’s something people need to convey because you see all these celebrity moms out there, and the perception is they can do it all, but they have sooo much help. And it’s kind of an unfair image to project for many women, because it is really hard, and if you have help, you should indicate you have help.
To experience sublime natural beauty is to confront the total inadequacy of language to describe what you see. Words cannot convey the scale of a view that is so stunning it is felt.

When I was younger I didn’t want to hang around with anyone. But now I feel so comfortable. I convey my thoughts, my emotions, I can communicate better, I have a better understanding of the world. Now I have a sense of purpose. It makes me think a lot more about things.
I hate cameras. I hate cameras and I hate camera phones. The camera’s my worst enemy and my best friend. It’s the way I convey my emotions to the world without saying a word, so I use it. People always say, ‘You come alive as soon as the camera’s on!’
I think translations should convey the feelings expressed in the original work. This is what I have believed in and practised.
Many nations use language simply to convey information, but it’s different in Ireland. With most conversational exchanges you get an ‘added extra’ like the free little biscuit you sometimes get with a cappuccino in a fancy coffee place.
Writing can be fun. I think the challenge is to convey interesting things in accessible ways, and that’s what I aim to do in books.
We want to convey that the modern-day GOP looks like the conservative party that stands on principles. But we want to apply them to urban-suburban hip-hop settings. We need to uptick our image with everyone, including one-armed midgets.
There’s a lot of fashion that I don’t respond to and I just walk on. I always look for things that make me happy, and in my work, all I’m doing is trying to convey that joy. Fashion should always be fun.
Not to be weird, but I still have an ongoing relationship with my mom, even though she passed away, and I’ve been surprised at how much I’ve been able to convey to her. Now I sound like a total weirdo, but that’s true.

Maybe it’s my age that makes me very conscious of loose threads, but I don’t think that’s an earmark of a fine product. And whenever I have a deep-seated feeling like that, I convey it to the person who made it. Sometimes they curse me, and sometimes they thank me.
