I don’t believe in being vengeful or trying to send a message to someone. You waste your energy that way.
It’s not just about the words you use, but the way you use them, and the message that puts over. Also your face too and the way you project your message. If you’re telling the group to stay calm, be good, and you have beads of sweat dripping down your forehead, you’re in trouble.
I foresaw the financial crisis. I get messages in my sleep, in pictures and words. I understood that I have a mission and a role in ensuring human existence. I received a message that people would soon start to go crazy.

There’s a window in my life which is football. I try to remember that it’s not going to be there forever. That’s why staying humble is important; knowing who I am and the message I’m sending out. I always try to be a person first, before I’m No. 55 on the football field.
I believe that our message of rebuilding America is one that will resonate with the American people.
The lyrics are what I work on the hardest, but I’m not trying to make a perfectly clear message or anything like that. In fact, I’m usually trying to avoid saying something too directly, because usually that rings false anyway.
I never try to convey a message, I just want to tell a story. Why that story in particular? I have no idea, but I have learned to surrender to the muse. I become obsessed with a theme or with certain stories; they haunt me for years, and finally, I write them.
In hip-hop, I wasn’t very focused on delivering a message. It was just a string of lines that didn’t connect. What I wanted to do is write stories… and affect someone’s emotions with that song. I think as a soul singer, I’m able to accomplish that.
If there is any message in the ‘Wimpy Kid’ books, it is that reading can be and should be fun. As an adult reader, when I see an obvious moral lesson to be taught, I run in the other direction… Kids can sniff out an adult agenda from an early age. I’m writing for entertainment, not to impress literary judges.
I think that ‘Little Angels’ provides the gateway into that conversation about faith and about the Lord and about God’s love for us. Remembering that the angels are just the messengers and the message is the message of love.
Suffering makes a people greater, and we have suffered much. We had a message to give the world, but we were overwhelmed, and the message was cut off in the middle. In time there will be millions of us – becoming stronger and stronger – and we will complete the message.

If I have a message to send, I’m going to send it in the most creative and yet crazy way I can.
The message is pretty clear: Americans are sick and tired of the doubletalk coming out of Washington, of us going home and saying we’re conservative and then coming up here and voting for 10,000 earmarks. We can’t fool America anymore; the media is too good. They’re reporting what we’re really doing.
So that would be a classic mixed message to young women: you should look a certain way that’s going to destroy your reproductive system and your sexual appetite, but at the same time, you should be interested in sex!
We talk a lot about hope, helping, and teamwork. Our whole message is that we are more powerful together.
Working on ‘Big Give’ was an opportunity that I felt compelled to do. It was my chance to share in showing people how they can give big in their own life, to send the message that giving goes way beyond the gift of money.

Technology not only allows grassroots conservatives like Palin to get their message across without the mainstream media’s filter and become a ‘force multiplier,’ it also helps them topple candidates financially backed by the establishment.

I’m an artist with a message, and my message is more for society, casting the mirror onto them and saying, ‘Hey, this is what we look like, what are we going to do about it, how are we going to use what we’ve been through to aid where we’re going.’
I don’t spend my hours worrying how to slip a social message into my act.
The Grateful Dead, they’re my best friends. Their message of hope, peace, love, teamwork, creativity, imagination, celebration, the dance, the vision, the purpose, the passion all of the things I believe in makes me the luckiest Deadhead in the world.
The warning message we sent the Russians was a calculated ambiguity that would be clearly understood.
Films with a message just make me laugh.
I always felt as a kid that I was underappreciated, invisible or weird, but I’ve always secretly thought people would one day appreciate what is different about me. I’m always putting that message out there.
For a brief time in the 1850s, the telegraph companies of England and the United States thought that they could (and should) preserve every message that passed through their wires. Millions of telegrams – in fireproof safes. Imagine the possibilities for history!

It’s about how you exist as a person in the world, and the idea that your work is more important than you as a person is a horrible, horrible message. I always think about a little gay boy in Wisconsin or a little lesbian in Arkansas seeing someone like me, and if I cannot be open in my life, how on earth can they?
The doctor I would want for myself or for anyone else I cared about would be one who understands that disease is more than just a clinical entity; it is an experience and a metaphor, with a message that must be listened to.

I’ve never had a message for anyone in my entire life. Except maybe to give out my room number.
I had in mind a message, although I hope it doesn’t intrude too badly, persuading Americans, and especially Southerners, of the critical importance of land and our vanishing natural environment and wildlife.
The message of body acceptance built on Jennifer Lawrence’s soundbites only empowers those who are willing to ignore the fact that her statements reinforce our current cultural views rather than subverting them.
I am more willing to come out when I get my message from my commander.
If you recognize a face while surfing through 200 channels, you will stop and listen. Celebrities give a positive aura and people like them. Their message appeals to people.
