Tiananmen Square is a sensitive topic because many things happened there. The idea of turning the plaza into a forest makes many people feel uncomfortable.
I can’t really remember a time in my life when I didn’t know something about what we call the Holocaust. It was this dark topic that I would know more about when I got older, but which was spoken about in hushed tones.
I was born in the 1960s. I came up in the 1970s. I know how race relations were. The thing is, I want to advance the ball and never return to those days again. I want to keep the topic going. I’m going to discuss it. And we’re going to make America better. It’s my job as a citizen, and I demand it.
It’s always great to have a purpose of a meeting and an ending for it, but it’s even more important to be present and have an engagement on the topic you’re doing, to create an environment and energy around that meeting, so everybody goes from there, ‘That’s great; we can take it forward!’
I know better than to ever attempt to get a reporter removed from covering any topic. That would never be an option.
You can never have enough reinforcements, resources for black women to thrive in the world. The topic has been addressed a million times before, but it will never end because what we’re up against keeps morphing, and we have to figure out how to beat it.
Making a documentary about my hometown was always going to be the most difficult topic I had ever covered! No question.
I had a vast interest in ghosts and stuff and cryptozoology and every topic that was not normal… if you’re reading that stuff at 8 or 9 it has a big impact on you.

One time, I was given an essay topic: to describe a perfect horse, whom the mere sight of the rider’s whip would make obedient. I depicted this perfect horse throwing his rider at the sight of the whip.
Wherever I went and spoke about menstrual hygiene, I was beaten up by people. I used to cover my cheeks with both my hands whenever I went to speak on the subject, so how could I ever imagine that someone would make a film on such a topic?
I like to say StumbleUpon provides a personal tour of the Internet. The responses are more targeted to your interests than they would be with a regular search engine. If you choose a topic on our site that you’re interested in, such as art, Web sites related to art appear, as if you’re leafing through an art magazine.
I understand the desire to write and read about the death of publishing. It’s a perversely and universally appealing topic.
‘The Daily Show’ took a topic – politics – which many people considered to be boring, confusing, or even annoying to learn about, and found a way to make it interesting, digestible, and fun. I believe ‘Bill Nye Saves the World’ can do the same for science.

When I started writing a business column 15 years ago, I knew I’d found the perfect job for myself. As a columnist I could pick my own topic, do my own analysis, say what I wanted to say and attribute it to myself. Best of all, I could write in my own voice.
There is almost no topic that can’t benefit from being talked about in a humorous way.
If you imagine your friend is recommending you content on a topic they’re an expert on, they can do a really good job of that. They know what you’re interested in, they know your personality, they know if you have a scientific type of mind-set or not.
Hamilton had one of those extraordinary 18th-century minds that touched on virtually every major topic of the day.
‘Blue Valentine,’ Derek Cianfrance’s emotional gunslinger of a film, tears into the topic of moribund marriages with an honesty that’s hard to come by in Hollywood these days.
Show Republicans a shiny pro-life or pro-marriage issue and they’d much rather address that controversial topic than keep pressing on the tyranny that Obamacare represents.
Dhoni is a superstar. He is one of our greatest cricketers. When you have a career as glorious as that, you become a topic on television.
I’m sick of people sittin’ in chairs stating their problems. Then we roll the videotape… then we have our experts on the topic… I’m in the ‘What’s next?’ phase of my career.
Convinced as I am and as I am from my government that the world needs a new moral architecture over all I believe that this should be the first topic to debate in our world of today, ethics, moral.
I remember some of the limited debate I did back in high school in the late ’70s, early ’80s: nuclear proliferation was always the big topic, and it’s bad. We don’t want to see it.
