I remembered some people who lived across the street from our home as we were being taken away. When I was a teenager, I had many after-dinner conversations with my father about our internment.

I like to build places online where readers can have productive conversations about books.
I was really grateful that The Vixen, especially, was on season 10 because she was having conversations about race. You can’t ignore it, especially in the drag community, in the ‘Drag Race’ world.

And I find it very easy to memorize the scripts, which are so close to conversations my husband and I have.
Our country has a trust responsibility to Indian tribes, and it seems like their voice has been lacking in so many conversations that we’ve had in this country. And so, I’d like to make sure that tribal leaders have that seat at the table.
For me, New York is about anonymity; that’s the draw. It’s not at all about other people in my business being nearby. It’s that I can get on the subway and eavesdrop on conversations that I would never have access to otherwise. That’s why I stay. That’s why I could never leave.
I read a lot, I write a lot, and I have conversations with people I think are intelligent and wise.

Once the collection of conversations between the Israeli government and members of Congress occurred, had it been inadvertent, then they would have been destroyed instead of redacted for further use. Had they been inadvertent, then they would not have been forwarded to the White House for review in their redacted form.
I never thought I’d see the day when the U.S. government could listen in on phone conversations or read private mail without first obtaining a warrant from a court. That sounds more like something that happened in the Soviet Union.
My biggest source of inspiration is listening to people’s conversations. I’m a big eavesdropper.
To be honest dinner conversations was the worst bit about being a child and listening to the boring people around me.
We sat around on a hotel balcony with a bottle of wine and tried to figure out how you would go about blowing up a planet. That’s the kind of conversations science fiction writers have when they get together. We don’t talk about football or anything like that.
I wish I had taken Spanish instead of French in high school. I could eavesdrop on a lot more conversations on the subway if I knew Spanish.
The biggest part of what Anita Hill did was take away the stigma of coming forward, and it took a lot for her to do that. We don’t have these conversations, because of the fear that people won’t believe you or you’ll get attacked if you come forward. She came forward anyway and continued to tell her story.
I love those preliminary conversations about who a character is. You try on wigs, shoes and clothes. It’s preferable when it’s not about looking pretty. It can get a little dull to just be cute. We talk about things like, maybe my character can’t afford these Christian Louboutins.
In past relationships, I learned so much about that person through the tough conversations and how we handled them together.
I’ve been very encouraged by the nature of the conversations that I’ve had and by the lack of questions that are tunnel-visioned in their understanding of sexuality and life and love.
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.
We can’t grow as a party, if we’re afraid of having difficult conversations.
I just think we need to keep having open, honest, and encouraging conversations to ensure people are represented across all industries including our TV screens when it comes to diversity.

There are all sorts of challenging conversations as a parent and it’s never easy.

What’s interesting is, for myself, when I become really attracted to somebody, I find them in my dreams… conversations, nothing more.
Brexit is a ceaseless grind of conversations about customs unions and backstops. Anything that can add an air of whimsical, childlike wonder to proceedings can only be a good thing.

To get to world-class, don’t miss any opportunity to leverage the learning/insights/experiences of the people you meet. Because we really do become our conversations.

Radio is more powerful the closer we mimic the way we actually speak to each other. That’s why Howard Stern is such a great radio talent. People on his show are actually speaking to each other. You might not like what they’re saying, but they’re real conversations.
We are shaped by our conversations.
Direction is something that interests me. Even while shooting, I always have conversations with the director to get a better understanding of shooting technicalities.
