Everyone talks about, ‘Get your foot in the door,’ but I never understood that mentality. Why would I want to go in that house? Why not build my own house? Why not take a chair and smash a window?
When you write music that expresses doubt or concern, or talks about some of the darker things that a developing human goes through, people will come out of the woodwork to listen to someone else say it out loud.
In the original introduction to the word meme in the last chapter of ‘The Selfish Gene,’ I did actually use the metaphor of a ‘virus.’ So when anybody talks about something going viral on the Internet, that is exactly what a meme is, and it looks as though the word has been appropriated for a subset of that.
I loved 1990s television: ‘The Fast Show,’ ‘Father Ted,’ ‘Harry Enfield.’ ‘Clive Anderson Talks Back.’
Reading ‘IT’ again as an adult, you understand it from a different perspective. It is basically a love letter to childhood and talks about all of the treasures of that time, like imagination and belief, that are inevitably lost in adulthood.
The Tory Party only talks to Brexiteers. It almost demonises… It comes across as dismissive of those who are not.

Congress party talks about Dalits but does not involve them in important decision making process.
Mrs. Obama has a hug – a sincere and friendly embrace – that has become familiar to countless supporters from coast to coast. And when she talks to you, she focuses all her calm attention on your face.
It’s a one-day story of a guy called Newton Kumar, and the backdrop is election: how the most powerful tool we have as citizens is vote but how we don’t utilise it. We really don’t give importance to it. It talks about democracy; it’s a satire, a black comedy.
Well see, I’m a good enough writer that not everybody in my books talks exactly like I do.
People that want to talk can talk. Even a parrot talks. People are always going to have their thoughts on what they’re going to say.
Money talks, and when it starts to say goodbye, humans listen and act accordingly.
I’m a huge fan of Giuliani, as a person. Down-to-earth, talks to you like a human.

There’s a statue of Jimmy Stewart in the Hollywood Wax Museum, and the statue talks better than he does.
There were talks about going into the jungle, ‘Strictly’ and ‘Big Brother’ – and I’m a good dancer so I’d smash ‘Strictly.’
I think Trump uses social media as a way to get to people’s lowest common denominator. He uses it to incite fear. He talks about simplistic ideas.
Honestly, as an athlete, you generally know. Your body talks to you. You know the difference between something that’s hurting, sore vs. something that’s going to hurt you in the long run if you try to go really push off or something.
Funnily enough, I think Gary Neville is very interesting… and talks a lot of sense.
If the pitch starts with a sob story, I’m out. If the pitch talks about personal issues, I’m out. If the pitch starts off with how big the market opportunity is, I’m out. If the pitch tells me what is unique about the product, how it can make a profit, and it’s an area where I have expertise, I will read on.
The battle for freedom and liberty really never is over, and there are really low points in it, but I’m not giving up, and I’m not gonna engage in phony pep talks, either.
I don’t like high-maintenance. High-maintenance does not work for me at all. And I don’t like anybody who talks down to people. I don’t speak down to anyone who works around me, and so I won’t put up with it in a relationship.
When one makes a Revolution, one cannot mark time; one must always go forward – or go back. He who now talks about the ‘freedom of the press’ goes backward, and halts our headlong course towards Socialism.
Everyone talks about the good old days, when guys were tough and quarterbacks got crushed all the time, but back in the day, there weren’t defensive ends that were Mario Williams – 6-7, 300 pounds, 10 percent body fat, running a 4.7 40.
When things go well, everyone talks well of you and vice versa. Unfortunately, football is like that.
We must work to make the South-North Korea dialogue lead to talks between the United States and North Korea. Only then can we peacefully resolve the North Korean nuclear issue.
To me, a big crossover was what happened to me years ago, like bringing my music in Spanish to Europe, or Asia. To me, that’s a crossover because Spanish is not a language that everybody talks.
My first year in Japan was very tough, just like my first year in the minors. But at least there I had a lot of Dominican people and Latin people I can talk to. If you don’t have anybody to talk to, you can get depressed. But if you find someone who talks your language, it’s easier.
The whole Obama phenomenon brings up memories from my distant past: the good-looking guy who talks real good, whose line you don’t buy immediately but whose charm is so dazzling that he gradually convinces you that this time it will be different.
If Catholics and Jews can today come together regularly for talks after so many tears and so much blood have been shed, than Jews and Arabs must be able to do the same.
The West only talks about how you can militarily defeat the terrorists, but terrorists are very difficult to defeat because they can appear anywhere.
I usually think to do pep talks on Twitter if I’m on the road, at home and my girlfriend is out of town, or if I’m at home and up later then my girlfriend and our dog Bizzy – like, if they’re both asleep but I’m kind of wired.
‘The Empty Bank’ talks about really specific instances where I kind of make the wrong moves based off of money, and it also details instances where I was acting like I had money when I really didn’t have that much money.
I was listed in ‘Time Magazine”s ‘Thirty under Thirty’ and have given three TED Talks, too.
I look upon meself as… You take a band that’s made up of arms, legs, bodies… I happen to be the piece that talks. And does all that area of it, you know? I’m also very easy to recognize; the darkie in the middle jumping around with the guitar, you know. Dat boy’s got rhydm!!!
There are lots of actors who are awful people, but nobody talks about them being awful because they’ve made billions.
I love astute observations and really great wordplay. I love the way that Louis C.K. observes life, and I love the way Patton Oswalt talks about it.
It’s funny that everyone talks about Women’s Revolution and I’m the first one to be behind all of them and be with them, but you can’t forget that behind every Women’s Revolution, there was a pack of women before them and before every single generation fought for something.
Zidane is very sincere, he talks to everyone face to face, and I think that the player thanks him for that.
A lot of teams – they want a point guard and I am bouncing around, why not put me in those talks and try to get me?
Mitt Romney is a Mormon, and don’t let anybody tell you otherwise. Even though he talks about Jesus as his Lord and savior, he is not a Christian. Mormonism is not Christianity. Mormonism is a cult.
I’m not someone who enjoys long talks, long rehearsals. I’m very technical: I tell my actors, you come in, you sit down, you pick up a coffee, you look here, you say the line. We try it with the cameras rolling, and if it doesn’t work, we adjust it until it does. It’s very simple.
The idea seems to be to use the next treaty talks to strike a grand bargain: Britain will be helpful to those states wishing to establish a fiscal union among themselves if, in exchange, we can amicably derogate from the aspects of the EU which we dislike.
Everyone talks about the big three-oh with dread – but it’s exciting. It feels like life is much more put together. Everyone’s like, ‘Wouldn’t you like to be 20 again?’ But no way.
‘Focusing’ is no conventional repackaging of self-help wisdom. It is at once a manual and a philosophy. It talks about the body’s wisdom, the steps of the focusing technique, how to discover the richness in others by learning to listen.
Everything that I do on stage comes from seeing the Black Crowes in ’95 in Charlotte. For ‘Let Her Cry,’ I was just trying to write ‘She Talks to Angels.’
