I sing about the things that I don’t have conversations about.
I think the advice, regardless of gender, is always be open to conversations with people who do things differently than you do. If you’re starting to work in tech, talk to the artists, talk to the lawyers, talk to the people who are interested in other things.
I think there’s something to baseball, golf, fishing that there’s downtime within all of those sports. Even though you’re still doing the sport and everything that’s involved, there’s still this time to be able to think and have conversations.
All the weird, crazy things people say, like twins can read each other minds, they can feel each other’s feelings, it’s all true. We can have complete conversations with our eyes.
Social lets consumers talk about the products. You may pay your way onto the Facebook feed, but after that, it’s conversations by the users. That’s not sufficient because it leaves out what is possible for employees to talk, for R&D to talk, or the CEO to talk.
The amount of random conversations that lead to culture-shifting ideas is insane.
Most of my ideas come from drawing patterns across conversations I have with different types of people – technology investors, young fashion design students, a CEO. This variety is stimulating and offers many different perspectives on the things I am thinking about.
I got into this business when I was 22 years old, and I didn’t have a woke bone in my body. And all I wanted to do was be on screen and for people to pay attention to me, but we evolve and our cause evolves and the conversations today are certainly very different.
I believe that having conversations about difficult things is a part of a process and that it should happen. You don’t avoid it because it’s difficult. And you’re not dividing more by having a respectful conversation.
I phoned the KKK Grand Wizard David Duke in Louisiana and asked why my membership was being delayed. He said my application was on his desk and promised to deal with it personally. It was the first of many conversations with David Duke. We talked about his family, the weather, and about his political ambitions.
People are desperate for these breathier, longer, more in-depth conversations. And the only thing I can’t provide in my show is the longer time.
Growing up in Ireland, there never seemed to be the notion that children should be seen and not heard. We all looked forward to mealtimes when we’d sit around the table and talk about our days. Storytelling and long, rambling conversations were considered good things.
I’m the kind of leader who would try to have honest and difficult conversations.
Lately I’ve been feeling like 50 percent of the great content I read comes from Twitter conversations.
With abolition, it’s necessary to destroy systems of oppression. But it’s equally necessary to put at the forefront our conversations about creation. When we fight for justice, what exactly do we want for our communities?
As a sociolinguist, I want to know how cultural differences affect the ways people talk and listen. My research method, inspired by the work of Robin Lakoff and John Gumperz of the University of California at Berkeley, is sociolinguistic microanalysis. I tape-record and transcribe naturally occurring conversations.
It’s important that we start conversations about changing the culture of sexual harassment and discrimination in politics, state capitols, and our larger communities with an acknowledgment of the courage of so many women who have chosen to speak up and speak out.
When you are playing for a top club, when the pressure is on, when scrutiny is everywhere, you need some privacy. You need a place away from public view where people can be open, and, at times, difficult conversations need to be had.
It’s cool to talk to the fans and get some one-on-one time and shake hands, sign autographs, take some pictures and have conversations with people.
When I work out at home, I don’t have mirrors, and I really like it. When I’m not working out in front of a mirror, I don’t have those conversations with myself that I have in the gym, when my head starts drifting in all those dark spots.
As the novelty of wearable tech gives way to necessity – and, later, as wearable tech becomes embedded tech – will we be deprived of the chance to pause, reflect, and engage in meaningful, substantive conversations? How will our inner lives and ties to those around us change?
I am mostly a pretty worried person. In conversations, I am always worried about what to say.
When I decided I wanted to become an author, I never thought something I wrote would be used as a way to start conversations that are otherwise difficult to begin.
With ‘Downsizing,’ a lot of the discussion hasn’t been about the film itself, but about cultural and political conversations happening outside of it. It’s being digested in the context of the time.
It’s important that the art forms communicate, whether it’s the dance program with the jazz program or the classical program with the opera program, that these conversations becomes fluid.
Is it appropriate still for a German to have a gun? I only use that as an example of a country that’s still deeply involved and engaged in the conversations about how to come to terms with the past. Certainly for that country, it’s not forgotten.
I cannot imagine any other country in the world where the opposition would seek, and the chief executive would allow, the dissemination of his most private and personal conversations with his staff, which, to be honest, do not exactly confer sainthood on anyone concerned.
You’re so emotionally connected to the game that it’s hard to switch off afterwards. It’s a good time to have open and honest conversations about your performance and what you can improve on next time.
I think the idea we had with Bridgerton’ was very much in the early conversations, to do something fresh and exciting and entirely more fun, fast, funny and glamorous than has been done before in the period genre.
I have an issue with others ordering for me, and I spend far too long haranguing people that my choices are the best. I apologize for the amount of conversations I have ruined with this attitude.
Coach K was great. We had a couple of individual conversations and he definitely taught me a lot of things.
When you first come in the NBA, you have a lot of conversations about saving your money, financially educating yourself, not just trusting whoever it is handling your money, not just having those meetings once a year, and not really putting the effort into learning the same way you learn your craft on the court.
I speak to lots of coaches, but those are private conversations.
When do you get into your best conversations? Probably when you’re relaxed.
We have the capacity for about 1.6 human conversations, so if you’re listening to one conversation particularly, you’re only left with 0.6 for your inner voice that helps you write.
Actors have to have conversations not just with dialogue but with silences.
Where do I get my information from? Well, I get it from the radio, and I get it from the newspaper, and then I get it from my conversations, and I get it from the paddocks around the bush. I get it; it turns up. You’d be most surprised how it turns up.
Cocktail parties for me can be nerve-racking. The brevity of conversations, the number of them – it’s not my sweet spot.
I think women have a hard time not apologizing their way into negotiations. We tend to back in to these conversations in a self-deprecating and ultimately self-defeating way.
I don’t walk into a place, start cracking jokes and become the centre of attraction. You will always find me in a corner with one or two people, having personal conversations with a glass in my hand.
One of the big conversations I’m trying to have onstage right now is that to be pro-woman, you don’t have to be anti-man. Saying all men suck makes you look like an idiot. And it’s not helpful.
In high school, during marathon phone conversations, cheap pizza dinners and long suburban car rides, I began to fall for boys because of who they actually were, or at least who I thought they might become.
Prior to the online platform, I had to make sure I go around and have conversations and go to schools and make appearances. But now with online presence, I try to put out videos and different posts every day. I try to inspire.
We speak about understanding each other, having those conversations nationwide – culturally, historically – and yet there’s a lot of gaps. So I want to assist with closing the gap of knowing about and hearing about our Latino communities in terms of literature, in terms of writing.
I truly enjoy hearing from our community about the issues that matter most. It’s conversations like these that shape our community and drive my work to pursue common-sense solutions that protect our families, lower health care costs, uplift our veterans, and support our local businesses.
There are two big benefits from moving conversations from a mode where you’re addressing individuals, or groups of individuals, to addressing a channel which is a topic, a project, a functional discipline, or whatever.
