There are a lot of great albums that take a year to connect.
Music has always been a huge part of my life from a very young age, and today it remains a very powerful and natural way for me to connect with people, as well as my children.
I just hope I reach out to people and connect to people in such a way that they continue to support what I do.
I have a great connect with the city, and I know the streets of Pune by heart. As a college student, I came down to visit friends. It is a great place to chill and hang out.
Skype is one of the world’s greatest inventions. I use it almost daily to connect with the people I care about when I’m away shooting. It makes the distance so much more bearable and I actually feel like I’m in the same room as my loved ones.
My dad couldn’t connect to my wanting to be a filmmaker. He was very connected in entertainment, and through him I met Steven Spielberg and got rides on his private plane to California. I’d see Spielberg’s people reading scripts. I was like, ‘That’s what I want to be when I grow up.’
Fashion is really a place where every other industry connects, whether it’s music or acting. At the end of the day, everyone is going to walk the red carpet and be interested in the fashion side of it. I think that’s really cool because as a model, you get to connect with a lot of different worlds.
I feel like I can’t write something that has a real emotion in it if I can’t connect to that emotion.
I connect fashion to other peoples’ elegance, but not my own. I don’t think I’ve ever felt elegant. I’ve felt appropriate, but never elegant, and I wonder what that must be like. I like it when other people are elegant – I prefer it – but I can’t do it myself. I honestly think it’s some form of autistic disorder.
There’s something really wonderful about a party where you help yourself. Of course, first you get what you really want. But ‘family style’ service also really encourages people to connect with one another.
I think that soul, to me, is the theme of music that I connect with.
My main goal is to connect with the crowd. I leave room for improv. Whatever happens, happens. When I bring my band with me, it turns into the Craig Robinson comedy dance party.
People do connect me with James Bond simply because I happen to like scrambled eggs and short-sleeved shirts and some of the things that James Bond does, but I certainly haven’t got his guts nor his very lively appetites.
Before you can trust your team to make decisions better than you would have, you need to build their capability to connect the dots.
I went through a struggle, and I really needed to get myself together and connect with my purpose, which is music.
I watched R.E.M. connect with the back row of a 50,000-seat venue.
Think about what people are doing on Facebook today. They’re keeping up with their friends and family, but they’re also building an image and identity for themselves, which in a sense is their brand. They’re connecting with the audience that they want to connect to. It’s almost a disadvantage if you’re not on it now.
In a very broad statement, or mentality, you just want as many fans as you can have of your music. You want people to write songs for and connect with and play shows for.
I’m not online. I’m not on Facebook much. I don’t connect that way.
I try to live my life in a holistic way, show that all of it intersects because I’m coming from the same place. Now, at the core of it, I’m just trying to connect and be there, so I’m trying to be there for my family, my wife, my kids, my friends.
When you sign up for Facebook, the service first searches for any mentions of your name and suggests you befriend anyone who has mentioned you in their posts. It then asks to access your e-mail account so you can connect with anyone with whom you regularly correspond.
As a songwriter who uses lyrics to connect with others, it made perfect sense for me to partner with Hallmark, the leading greeting card brand that also uses words to help people make meaningful connections.
Everybody has a bit of body armor they wear to protect themselves, and love is about trying to break it down. You have to see who a person really is and connect with her to break that armor.
You get inspiration from craziest places. It’s just about being creative. You gotta step outside that box, you know what I’m saying, to reach the people. You never know who can feel it; who it can connect to.
I remember when AOL was small and they were growing like mad. Consumers were coming on in droves because they made it easy to connect to the Internet. That was the single biggest innovation of AOL; when grandmas were signing up, AOL had arrived.
In life I’ve learned one thing; if you want to be good you have to connect with the best people. So I got very close to the high-stakes players here. I get to watch them and play with them a little bit.
I love Twitter. As an entertainer, it’s a way to connect with the fans, and I think that’s important.
Storytelling is ultimately a creative act of pattern recognition. Through characters, plot and setting, a writer creates places where previously invisible truths become visible. Or the storyteller posits a series of dots that the reader can connect.
If I read a part and think I can connect to it, that I can touch people with it, I will do it, no matter what its size. And if I think I can’t do something with a part, I won’t take it.
My dream is to try to reach as many kids and readers who might need an unlikely hero to connect to.
Twitter’s been interesting. I’m kind of a tech geek, but I’ve never been a Facebook or Twitter guy. Surprisingly, I’ve really enjoyed Twitter because I get to connect with fans.
I don’t listen to my own music, so to me, it’s awesome that people really like it. I was afraid that it wouldn’t connect with everyone. I’m more appreciative than anything.
No support of one star or one director or one producer can make any individual actor a star. You have to connect with the audience; the audience have to like you. That is something that cannot be manipulated or fought for or tried for. Either they like you, or they don’t.
Every time I sit for a song, I feel I am finished. It’s like a beggar sitting waiting for God to fill your bowl with the right thought. In every song, I ask help from Him. Everybody around is so good, so to create music that will connect with so many people is not humanly possible without inspiration.
The human imagination can connect to practically anything.
When you play in a band, you’re in phase with people. When you’re a DJ, you’re totally off-phase. Your work time is 3 A.M. – 5 A.M. and I don’t think you can connect. You’re miserable the whole time. Whenever I see a DJ in the airport, they are always on the verge of crying.
If you want to connect with people who are in distress and great grief and scared, you need to do it in a certain way. I move kind of slow. I talk kind of slow. I let them know that I respect them.
Chemistry is one of these crazy things you can’t teach or learn or you can’t fake. You go in hoping it will work, hope that you will connect with the other actors. I was fortunate on ‘Modern Family’ and ‘The Procession.’ They are great people, very easy to like.
The most important and common thing is to be able to connect with your fans. If you can’t live life, then you can’t connect with the fans.
Science is empirical, all about physical senses that tell us about the world. But physical senses are not the only senses we have. Nobody has ever seen a thought. Nobody has ever seen a feeling. And yet thoughts and feelings are where we live our lives most immediately, and science cannot connect with that.
It turns out that the most powerful use of technology is to connect people together socially.
I’d like to build a way for people doing good work to connect, to learn from each other, protect each other, and then I want to get out of their way.
I like to connect with the other actors in a fantasy situation.
What part of media doesn’t need to connect with their customers more smartly?
The biggest compliment to me is that guys really approach me and they have a connection with me, so there must be something I’m doing that is authentic, otherwise they wouldn’t connect with me so strongly. It’s a real compliment.
There came a time when these two incompatible notions of who I was, well, something had to give. Either that ‘something’ is where you acquiesce to the world around you and you conform, or you sort of defiantly break whatever remaining bonds connect you to that world and create for yourself a different set of values.
I write ‘Broad City,’ so I connect it to me.
Since I am an avid singer and a lot of my fans want to hear me sing, I thought it will be really nice to sing my songs online so that more people could watch me, and I thought digital is the best way to connect with everyone.
I hate the term ’emo.’ It turned into this genre of music, when all music, if you connect with it, is emotional.
Queen songs are not about the life of a rock star – they tend to be about the lives of normal people, which is why I think the songs connect so much. We’re very lucky that they seemingly connect with every generation.
I guess I’m attracted to people who are singing about love or life, and they have a particular passion that I can connect with.
I always say, one way to connect with a working mother is to ask her what she has done before work that day!
