I would love for my phone to scream if I am about to miss an important thing in my life and never bother me if I’m doing something very important and the information coming in is less important than what I’m doing.
I do everything on my phone!
If you’re filming somebody doing something they really want to do, you’re probably not very high on their list of problems to deal with. You see James Carville on the phone – he’s like that whether you have a camera or not. He isn’t doing it just for you, and that’s hard to explain.
During a movie, you lose all ability to focus on your own interests. Your life is in service. After that you just want to disappear, switch off the phone, and sleep and watch movies for a month.
If I play hard to get, soon the phone stops ringing altogether.
That’s the great thing about a tractor. You can’t really hear the phone ring.
Phone phreaking is a type of hacking that allows you to explore the telephone network by exploiting the phone systems and phone company employees.
I still find it absurdly difficult to concentrate on a novel if there’s a phone or computer to hand; I have taken to locking them outside the room like noisy pets.
I’m not really out in the world all that much. I mean, I live with no phone signal, in the hills surrounded by trees, and I have, like, a mom and two baby deer that come by all the time, and my dogs and the squirrels are in a full-on feud every morning.
Sometimes I call directors. Sometimes I just meet with them. It just happens. It’s not that I’m pushy. It comes naturally. But I go ahead. I don’t stay in my armchair, waiting for the phone to ring.
For me, personally, I’m usually not on my phone that much. I prefer listening to old radio shows and watching foreign films than tweeting.
To be in a band on the road is to have anything and everything you want just by picking up the phone.
I’m on my phone 24-7. I see everything. I hear everything. I am the voice of the streets.
A young woman hiking alone in the mountains sounds dangerous. In the pre-cell phone era maybe it was, but I’ll stop short of calling it foolish.
A high-speed connection is no more an essential civil right than 3G cell phone service or a Netflix account. Increasing competition and restoring academic excellence in abysmal public schools is far more of an imperative to minority children than handing them iPads.
To tell you the truth I am hard put to think of anyone who’s career was affected significantly by making all those phone calls and I must be wrong. I must be wrong! Because it has just got to pay off!
Yes, I was the one people credit with inventing the cell phone. Now, whenever anyone gets a dropped call, they blame me.
I’d just gotten into Los Angeles from Texas, where I live, and the phone rang and it was the guy calling about the Willie Nelson video. I was totally excited about it.
Call-time has renewed my faith in the need for public financing of elections. ‘Call-time’ is where I as the candidate, sit in a room with my ‘call-time manager,’ and a phone. Then I call people and ask them for money. For hours. Apparently, I’m really good at it.
There’s so much more I want to do. I refuse to get to 50 and wait at home for the phone to ring.
It turns out that American Express honors recurring payments even if the vendor is unable to supply an accurate card number and expiration date. An Amex phone representative said this is a feature, not a bug, which makes sure my bills are paid.
Some actors are constantly on the phone, some are always looking into the mirror while some like to sit and bond.
I don’t have a relationship with Yoko. I’ve tried contacting her many times after John had died. She wouldn’t return any of my phone calls.
I am interested in levels of brain discourse. How articulate are the voices in your head? You know, there’s a different voice for the phone, and a different voice if you’re talking in bed. When you’re starting off with a narrator, it’s interesting to think, where is their voice coming from, what part of their brain?
Even though I’m totally dependent on modern electronic gizmos, from my laptop to my iPod to my cell phone, I love to embrace old technology or no technology at all.
I don’t need my phone to play me music. I need it to be a phone and an e-mail thing.
Fit experts envision a future in which you’d carry your body scan in your cell phone or on a thumb drive, using the data to order clothes online or find them in stores. But who’s going to pay for all those scanners, which cost about $35,000 each, and the staff to run them?
I’m an early bird, partly because I like to have some quiet time and partly because by 9am emails begin arriving, the phone starts ringing and I have dragons to kill of one sort or another.
I practice at home, in between phone calls, and have much to do.
These days, children can text on their cell phone all night long, and no one else is seeing that phone. You don’t know who is calling that child.
We don’t care. We don’t have to. We’re the phone company.
I only used a cell phone for the first time after I was released. I had difficulty coping with it because it seemed so small and insubstantial.
Just don’t pull out your phone at all on the first date.
I like to play around with people who don’t know me. Often I’m talking to people through my speaker phone, and after 10 minutes or so they say, ‘Wait a minute, Marlee, how can you hear me?’ They forget I have an interpreter there who is signing to me as they talk. So I say, ‘You know what? I can hear on Wednesdays.’
Remember that as a teenager you are in the last stage of your life when you will be happy to hear the phone is for you.
One time, a girl dropped her phone in my pocket and I found it and was like, ‘There you go.’ And she said, ‘If you’d had my phone, you’d have had to meet up with me to give it back.’
For me, pointing and clicking my phone is absolutely fine. People say that isn’t the art of photography but I don’t agree.
I’ve tried a lot of different apps to manage Twitter on my phone (I use Hootsuite on my laptop), but I think the official Twitter app is really good.
When I was a little boy, I was reading Dante and I was saying to myself ‘Bravo, Dante, Bravo.’ It’s so beautiful, the music, the sound, the meaning. I felt like calling him by phone, like a friend.
Schepisi is the sort of director who could, would, and frequently did phone me whenever he came across a textual problem.
Asking Siri where the nearest sushi bar is – that’s not interesting. What’s interesting is asking your phone where one of your friends have last had dinner in the neighborhood, or having it recommend a cool paella place in Barcelona because it knows you eat paella all the time at home.
I never picked up my phone and called a bookmaker and bet on a baseball game from the clubhouse. Never.
I look at my first appointment book from 1965 and I get dizzy. I was constantly in a phone booth calling photographers.
I’m bad at returning phone calls.
I don’t believe in e-mail. I rarely use a cell phone and I don’t have a fax.
I once joked in a book that there are three things you can’t do in life. You can’t beat the phone company, you can’t make a waiter see you until he is ready to see you, and you can’t go home again.
I used to be very vain about my thumbs. I have fat thumbs. If there’s a movie where you see me on the phone, it’s not my hands.
I would be psyched to get a phone call from Al Sharpton. I need to find out who does his hair. It’s beautiful. It’s a gorgeous mane.
I read the ‘Kapoor & Sons’ script in a half hour, forty five minutes. Not because I skimming through it… I read it like a book. By the end, I was blown away. I picked up the phone and said, ‘This script is gold.’
When I tell people I don’t own a mobile phone and wouldn’t know how to text, they react as though I have just confessed that I can’t read.
Congressmen spend between five and seven hours a day on the phone, begging for money.
I’m very well known for hiding my phone in really weird places. I can hide it in a refrigerator during a scene or under that bed. It’s pretty bad, but at the end of the day we can all laugh at it.
How is having every phone call that I make to my wife, to my daughter, relevant to any terror investigation?
In 1998, the acting roles suddenly bottomed out. I was no longer getting scripts; even my agent stopped calling. When I finally got him on the phone to ask him what was going on, he paused, then said: ‘Well, Christine, you’re 45.’ I got rid of him.
The Google Voice service is a lifesaver for me. My actual phone number changes a lot, so having a canonical Google Voice number that doesn’t change – it’s actually my same number from high school – is indispensable.
Seven years after my mother’s passing, I still reach for the phone for a split second to call her. We spoke every day.
Some of my friends don’t have a cell phone. Patti LaBelle doesn’t have a cell phone.
I don’t have a BlackBerry or whatever you call it. And there is something to be said for being isolated and out of phone range, because you can fall into a habit to such a degree that you don’t even realise that you’ve lost something: silence.
There’s a latter-day notion that artsy hippie types in the 1960s disdained the space program. Not in my experience they didn’t. We watched, transfixed with reverence, not even making rude remarks about President Nixon during his phone call to the astronauts.
