Dialogue can be held with everyone. It is not necessary to be like-minded to hold talks, but it is compulsory to be right-minded.
Myth is a powerful medium because it talks to the emotions and not the head. It moves us into an area of mystery.
When I’m in Jerusalem, I stay at the American Colony Hotel, neutral territory: the secret peace talks of 1992/3 started there.
Everyone talks about reality TV and that there are no roles left. That’s false. Years ago, there were three networks. Now there are 20 cable networks and so many ways for films to be exhibited. It’s an exciting time for actors, writers, directors, and producers.
And when Roger talks about the frightened ones running away from the bombs, I immediately thought of my days when I was young and I had to wear these gas masks.
Everybody’s gone through some kind of struggle in their life, and I’d like to be the type of voice who talks about it.
The things that Billy Graham says, I really have no idea why he says them. He talks about things without really knowing all the facts. I just think there’s something wrong with the man.
‘The Ways of a Woman in Love’ is one of my very favorite early Johnny Cash songs. I like the way the lyric talks about the character walking by the girl’s house and wishing he was the one in her arms.
Social Security is too vital to be lumped into backroom budget talks where the views of ordinary Americans risk going unheard.
Every time Maradona speaks it makes life difficult for everyone and there are those of us who don’t agree with that, not when he talks about football, but rather about people.
Wilfried is a very good striker who is strong and intelligent – he talks to me all the time and advises me. We sit together in the dressing room and he’s like a big brother to me.
I’m not one of those players who talks about things off the field. It’s about what trophies and titles and cups you’ve won.
Sometimes, in the last minute, against big teams… you never expect you have the chance to win, but there is that ‘garra’ that everyone talks about.
There’s a whole form of literature in India which talks about the quest for the perfect man by a woman, where every woman looks for a perfect man but only ends up with half that.
People forget how dominant Public Enemy became in the mid ’80s. No one talks about how transformative they were. And then that led to the ’90s and the sort of East Coast v. West Coast stuff, which is kinda when I came of age.
I like Mourinho’s sessions: very dynamic, always with the ball. There are no really long sessions or talks. He understands what a footballer needs: twenty minutes, that’s it. No time to lose concentration.
Everyone talks about how the anonymity of the Internet allows people to behave badly, but I think it’s the other way around, that the anonymity removes the ‘self’ from the people we’re talking to online. Other people lose their humanity in our eyes. The system is set up to dehumanize.
There’s nothing in the Bible that talks about retirement.
Around my neighborhood, I’m known as the American who talks to her computer while she types.
Being a swimsuit model that talks so much on Twitter… everyone thinks that I could definitely pull back. You kind of open yourself up to all the criticism. That’s definitely a big downside to this whole world. How can you complain about people critiquing your body when you’re literally like, ‘Look at my body!’
I love players like Thurston Moore. I mean, you can put notes down on a sheet of paper, and if you practice and get your chops up, you can play like an Eddie Van Halen or a Steve Vai. But nobody can do what Thurston Moore does; he’s his own guy. He talks through his instrument in a language that’s all his own.
I’m not going to be the artist that talks about a million dollar whip and ‘I just bought some red bottoms.’ That’s cool, but that’s not all there is to it. I’d rather talk about something everyone can relate to and feel.
My wife talks a lot with Fernandinho and Ederson’s wives.
Kanye is the best. I’m obsessed with him to the nine. There’s nobody smarter, cooler. I sit for hours talking to him sometimes. There’s nobody more amazing, brilliant, innovative. He talks to me and I leave him and I’m like How am I going to talk to regular people now?
One of the reasons I think the ultra right-wing has such power in this country is that no one talks out.
Normally when one reporter talks to you at a tournament it’s no big deal.
I’m tired of high policy talks. I want to focus on nuts and bolts.
My work in books, films and talks lies almost wholly with children, and I have very little time to give to grown-ups.
I learned to listen and listen very well. It helped me athletically and in the classroom as well. The person who talks a lot or talks over people misses out because they weren’t listening.
I look at Samoa Joe, and I’ve told him a number of times that I see his stuff at ‘NXT’ and think to myself, ‘Man, I could have a great deal of fun with you.’ He’s a guy I have sort of enjoyed, and one of those sleeper guys that no one talks about.
When the trainer talks to the fighter, there’s a connection. You don’t always have to say much.
When I first started VMware, I was very shy and self-conscious about speaking. I grew out of this by giving talks each week in front of the whole company; gradually, as we scaled, I had talked to more and more people, and this is how I conquered my fear of talking to people.
I’ve never been invited to do an exhibition or do a talk in England, except once, about 10 years ago. I’ve given talks all across Canada, many in the United States, South Africa, Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan – but not England.
Everything Sholom Aleichem talks about in his plays and his short stories is about people, family, man’s relationship with his God, the breaking down of tradition.
When I hear Donald Trump say the American military is a disaster, I want to go through the screen and shake the guy. We ought to have a commander in chief who talks about our troops with respect and gratitude.
Initially, I was worried about playing Hansa, because Hansa is someone who talks a lot but does nothing. But after I started playing the character, it was such a relief.
Didier Drogba has been an inspiration to all of us in the Ivory Coast national team. He is a great motivator for all of us – and some of the talks he gives are like a president trying to motivate his country. It is not just what he does on the field – but also all he does for all of our people off the field.
Onassis was a man who loved to walk, to walk and talk, and he was the kind of man who doesn’t go to sleep at night-he talks and talks.
My mother, who is nearly ninety now, still talks continually about my father. All my life, I’ve been aware of her grief about his absence and her strong pride in his conduct.
Zidane’s success comes from transmitting calm and never changing that no matter what is happening. That serenity and tranquility conveys confidence and security. He talks little but when he does, it matters.
I remember my first scene with Alan Rickman, and I was anxious because he is a slight ‘method’ actor; as soon as he is in his cloak, he walks and talks like Snape – it is quite terrifying. But I really wanted to talk to him because ‘Robin Hood’ was one of my favourite films.
On a global scale, the way Trump talks about dealing with foreign policy is very scary.
At a lot of college graduations, you’ll hear people say, ‘Follow your passions,’ and that is important, but no one talks about the stress of not having enough money, the issues of debt, and the issues of work stress.
If you’re in a meeting and a man talks loudly over you, rather than copying that behaviour and normalising it, what you could do is say ‘Can everybody stop doing this and instead put up a hand when we talk?’
Everybody always talks about it, about how you don’t know love until you meet your baby, and you really feel that. There are no words. It was a really wonderful surprise. And there is no way to prepare yourself for the sleep deprivation and what comes with it.
I prefer if friends come over to my office and we talk our heart out over a cup of coffee. I feel that no one talks freely at industry bashes. Everyone has to behave in a certain way, and I think no one is real there. We can’t have heart-to-heart conversations, and I start feeling uncomfortable at such dos.
When a writer talks about his work, he’s talking about a love affair.
During Lok Sabha elections, Amit Shah and Fadnavis came to me. During talks, I was given offer of deputy CM post. I said I am not so helpless. I have given a promise to Balasaheb that a Maharashtra CM will be from Shiv Sena. So I did not agree and stayed firm.
I’m not one of the guys who talks a lot, I don’t enjoy that, I’ve always believed in just going out there and putting on the best show possible.
I would say things like ‘I am the greatest! I’m pretty! If you talk jive, you’ll drop in five! I float like a butterfly, sting like a bee! I’m pretty!’ When white people heard me talking like this, some said, ‘That black man talks too much. He’s bragging.’
Playing in Barca is impressive: they’re in the Champions League; everyone talks about this team. You will not find another club like it in the world.
I give myself pep talks. I have to tell myself how sexy I am – literally every day. I do. I look in the mirror and say, ‘You are so sexy,’ because everything else in my body is telling me, ‘No, you’re not.’
