They’re pretty particular about what they show. They certainly edit the scripts and have conversations with the writers about what they are and aren’t willing to portray. But the writers and the network are pretty much on the same page.
I suppose I flee to life. I’m most interested when conversations become difficult.
Never had any mathematical conversations with anybody, because there was nobody else in my field.
I’m looking for conversations that will be meaningful with people that want to have meaningful connections with an audience.
I have had with conversations with Mark Benton and Ben Cohen – three fellas sitting with a pint discussing the cha-cha-cha and the correct leg position for a foxtrot.
I have stopped going out places just to avoid uncomfortable conversations.
My method of praying does not meet the conventional standards as I don’t recite any specific prayers but rather indulge in conversations with God.
I’m interested in colour-blind hiring of directors, producers, and writers. Go to the source. Then we won’t need to have conversations about colour-blind casting.
I don’t have any conversations where I’m not talking about my dog.
There has been so many good questions, like, When a bad play happens in a match, how do you not mentally go down?’ Or, How have you had your career last for so long?’ There have been a lot of intriguing questions, which has led to a lot of other good conversations.
When I was a youngster, Praveen Kumar was in the same club as me, and because we are similar bowlers, I learnt a lot from him. We used to have conversations, but not a lot. What was very helpful was observing what he was bowling, the kind of fields he had, and what his thinking was.
If a parent wants to talk about slavery or wants to talk about countries where bombs go off, they need to have a way – a setting – to have that conversation. And there are wonderful books out there for those kinds of conversations.
We need to understand the other side to impact the other side. We become much more effective as humans and leaders when we engage in hearty conversations with those who are different from us, not necessarily to change our opinions, but to build the empathy muscle.
I don’t really want to be in the business of observing conversations.
I hired a publicist once I got cast in ‘Passing Strange,’ and one of the first conversations we had was about how I wanted to handle talking about my sexuality. I said, ‘It’s never been an issue for me. I want to talk about my work, but if something about myself relates to my work, of course I’ll talk about it.’
To be able to come out to Southern California, talk football, and have the ability to also have conversations with celebrities who love football, it’s been a dream, and I never once thought, ‘Well, this is a lot of pressure.’
When I visited the Water Institute’s Baton Rouge offices overlooking the Mississippi River, I couldn’t find a drop of the charged politics that drives so many environmental conversations in Washington.
We have had conversations with Lucasfilm, and we continue to have them. I think it would be wonderful to extend that brand onto our programming.
This idea that players were kneeling in support of social justice was something some people couldn’t wrap their head around. The outrage that I saw in the media and the anger I felt in some of my own private conversations caused me to sever a few long-standing friendships.
The selfie makes us accustomed to putting ourselves and those around us ‘on pause’ in order to document our lives. It is an extension of how we have learned to put our conversations ‘on pause’ when we send or receive a text, an image, an email, a call.
In general, I believe it’s fine to have impassioned conversations about Gwyneth Paltrow, but those of us who do so should admit it’s a recreational activity and not a moral referendum.
Before blogs, it was all about physical presence. We used to send out videos and audiotapes to communicate. Blogging and the Internet allow us to engage in a lot more real time conversations as opposed to a one-way dump of information or a message.
Me and Kendrick Lamar have had conversations for years back and forth, so that’s my dude.
I give so much credit to the ‘Up’ team who created appointment viewing on the weekends for us and some of the smartest conversations on television.
I’ve owned 41 airplanes. A few of them would talk with me. This little seaplane, though, we’ve had long conversations in flight. There’s a spirit in anything, I think, into which we weave our soul. Not many pilots talk about it, but they think about it in the quiet dark of a night flight.
I use glamour as a tool, almost like armor to confidently take up space, to provoke questions and conversations about society and gender norms.

My brother and I always had conversations about me being a rapper. I always used to tell him, ‘I’m gonna be the hottest rapper.’
But my Arabic is pretty good. It’s good enough to have conversations with people, to understand what they say, to understand what they’re feeling.
It’s refreshing, if you ask me, to have lengthy conversations with clear, brilliant minds about books, art, and what ought to happen next and how. I love it.
