I’m always working and coming up with new and fresh ideas to keep my fans engaged and keep myself relevant.
I’ve been engaged in so many meaningful things. I’ve been full with family and ministry things.
I want to be engaged and moved by theatre, there’s nothing more disappointing than being left cold. After ‘The Author,’ I felt wrung out emotionally, like a used tissue.
But while human liberty has engaged the attention of the enlightened, and enlisted the feelings of the generous of all civilized nations, may we not enquire if this liberty has been rightly understood?
We will be a nation that is engaged not isolated, bold not timid. This is the very stuff of what it means to be us.
As a life-long liberal who has engaged in protests against the government and for civil rights, I am saddened at efforts by some of my fellow liberals to silence commencement speakers with whom they might disagree on some issues.
I find the experience of keeping a journal much more creative on paper than on a computer. When I write, I’m physically immersed in the world and slow down, whereas on screen, I use my senses in a less engaged way – and I skim more.
College is supposed to be a place that prepares its students for the real world. That’s the entire purpose of attending! Learning how to be an engaged citizen is something that should be encouraged in this kind of environment, not restricted.
I esteem it the crowning mercy of my life that not only the chief ends I contemplated on becoming a missionary are attained, but I am allowed to see competent, faithful, and affectionate successors actively engaged in the work.

I think it is going to be very difficult to be a company in silos. I think the game has changed. We won’t define our success by looking at the competitors but at how satisfied are our customers, how engaged are our internal stakeholders, and how good is our product pipeline.
I believe that the ability to talk to people and have them feeling engaged rather than patronised isn’t something you can learn. It’s a bit like being able to sing or play cricket. You can either do it, or you can’t.
In the absence of an engaged, diplomatically energized America, others will set the agenda, shape the rules and dominate international institutions – and probably not in ways that advance our interests or values.
I felt like power meant that you had to be engaged in a certain kind of struggle by force of movement and battle – and that’s very exhausting. Now, power is more about certainty and stillness and realizing that the infrastructures that we gather around and worship are the least powerful things.
The only study that the federal government has engaged in with a vengeance is in trying to see if they can make women fertile after menopause.
Writers to some extent are childish, and it’s at the childish level that one really engages with any experience. What really moves you is at the very personal, childish level of the imagination. My business is the imagination, and my imagination is engaged by Asia.

Just because everybody else is engaged in a group hug with Barack Obama doesn’t mean that somebody doesn’t have to tell the truth.
I think that art is an act of violence, and the more emotionally engaged you are in a piece of art, the more violent it feels.
If you don’t pay attention and if your imagination isn’t pretty much engaged, you’re going to miss things and you’re going to miss opportunities for it to be as compelling and as creepy as it can be.
My books are about losers, about people who’ve lost their way and are engaged in a search.
World Affairs Councils are great organizations. They help keep people throughout our country alive to important developments in world affairs and underscore that, in the country, we stay engaged and we are part of the world.
As far as the mechanics go, working with other people on received ideas was for me a very interesting technical problem. I can’t say that any of my collaborations engaged my heart, but they engaged the craftsman in me.
I considered myself engaged in a war from Day One. And my objective was to force the federal government – the Kennedy administration at that time – into a position where they would have to use the United States military force to enforce my rights as a citizen.
I do feel like I’ve changed a great deal, but not anything outside of the norm of what most people experience as they grow and they take on the responsibilities of parenthood and being more engaged in their business and all that stuff. I think it’s a pretty natural evolution.
As long as I stay engaged with everybody else, then I’ll create more comedy. It’s just when I shut off and stay at home… What helps me is just to keep moving.
In the age of global warming hysteria and the $93 trillion ‘Green’ New Deal, leftist advocates for more government intervention in the economy under the guise of environmentalism have engaged in a new smear: If you don’t buy into climate change hysteria, you’re a ‘denier’ who doesn’t care about the environment.
I went to Pakistan; I engaged in peace. If a hand extended is not shaken, what are you supposed to do?
I do think it’s fair to say that there are times when President Obama has not been engaged enough with the Middle East.
I don’t think the art market is for everybody. Yeah, of course we have a global gallery. But we’re like the one-tenth of the one-tenth of the one-tenth. OK? Not just who’s buying but who’s really seriously engaged with art.
In high school and college, I started to read more and write science fiction myself. I was fully engaged in writing in the 1990s.
I try to remember, as I hear about friends getting engaged, that it’s not about the ring and it’s not about the wedding. It’s a grave thing, getting married. And it’s easy to get swept up in the wrong things.
Since doing ‘Dating in the Dark’ and getting engaged, I’ve become the top agony aunt to all my friends. It’s brilliant.
When you feel an audience engaged and surprised and enthusiastic, reacting to what you’ve planned, that is the reward. It’s better than the Emmys.
I’d always been fascinated by boxing and became very engaged with it through my husband, actually. But I started to write about it because so many decent, righteous people wanted it banned.
I became frustrated early on as a playwright by a kind of smug smallness in modern drama. There was a lack of what I now understand as courage in the work of others as well as in my own work, and I found I was mildly amused or interested by such plays but not deeply engaged or enlightened.
When I started to sing, my mother would have me engaged to perform at the Women’s Christian Temperance Union national or annual meetings. I would hate doing this because I wanted to play baseball or go off skiing.
While many federal agencies are engaged with international partners on science and technology projects, there is a need to coordinate these projects across our government network and to identify opportunities for additional beneficial collaborations.
I think we all have blocks between us and the best version of ourselves, whether it’s shyness, insecurity, anxiety, whether it’s a physical block, and the story of a person overcoming that block to their best self. It’s truly inspiring because I think all of us are engaged in that every day.

The audience that watches on Sunday night is upscale, very female, and very engaged.
Improvising is writing, too – there was no music and now there’s music. So that’s composition. And any time you take any sort of a performance liberty, you’re making a compositional choice. I don’t know a serious performer who hasn’t made compositional decisions, who hasn’t engaged in the art of composition.
Be ever engaged, so that whenever the devil calls he may find you occupied.
Most of the people who write to me are really clever, really engaged. They just want to say that they have read my book and liked it.
The mistake that I made was that I was engaged in a consensual relationship with a woman who was not my wife. That is a mistake for which I am very sorry.
For me and my films, I want my audience to experience cinema in its full glory. It’s not just visual, it’s audio as well. It’s emotional, and I want you to be engaged with not just the scene but with the characters.
I work so I don’t need to make rent through my songs, and I think if more people engaged with music without needing it to provide for their welfare, you’re not beholden to anyone.
