It’s so critical for people frustrated with the economy, with changing tides in government, who aren’t able to hear their voices, questions or their ills being talked about, to have a place for discussing what others won’t.
I was fishing with director Frank Capra once and we talked about retirement.
Let me explain something when I’m talking about sin, and I’m talking about all sin. One of the biggest ones that has been talked about that has really become a debate in America is homosexuality.
On a bus ride through China, my family and I had talked for hours before a police officer boarded to conduct an inspection. My mother and brother couldn’t speak Chinese, so they pretended to be deaf and mute, and none of the Chinese passengers said anything, sparing us.
We’re really excited to be even talked about in the same breath as Foo Fighters or Metallica.
‘Son of Frankenstein’ is never talked about in the same tone as James Whale’s 1931 ‘Frankenstein.’ But it should be. It was Boris Karloff’s last appearance in the Frankenstein series and stars Donnie Dunagan, then a child actor.
I grew up in a household that never talked about limitations.
If you’ve ever talked to a special agent that you know well, and you ask he or she about a dangerous encounter they were involved in, they’ll almost always give you the same answer: ‘Yeah, I did it, but I was scared to heck the whole time.’
I’ve rarely talked about Obama’s share of the blame for the rise of the alt-right and Gamergate.
We’ve always been huge fans of the Dixie Chicks. They talked about subject matter that people didn’t necessarily want to talk about and made people pay attention to issues.
I have talked about the ‘fractal organization’. Those smaller pieces should innovate and lead the rest of the organization. There will be parts that will be thinking about technologies of the future, and you need to nourish them.
I’ve done bits where I’ve perhaps talked about my kids annoying me and you hope that the audience realise that you do actually love your children. You can still be a good parent and be frustrated by your kids.
I was a wallflower. I never talked to anybody. I was so afraid of people, I never said a word.
There was a long period when I was younger where people always talked about my size and I was going ‘but look, I can play, though, I can play’ but you look at it, to have a career, 12-13 years, you’ve got to be more than just a brute.
Barry Levinson saw me on a tape and put me in ‘Rain Man’ as the waitress who dropped the toothpicks. The scene was talked about a lot. Then, all of a sudden, I started to get more auditions.
When I was little, I looked in the mirror and held the Bible in my hand – that’s how I talked to God. I never just asked for stuff. The way I saw it, if you give Him something, you get something.
The band that made me want to be a musician in the first place was the Beatles. And I think John Lennon used to say something like, ‘We’re just a singing group,’ when he talked about the band. So that’s what I say about Mr. Big – we’re a singing group!
We believe that Apple has it wrong: they’ve talked about it being the post-PC era, they talk about the tablet and PC being different; the reality in our world is that we think that’s completely incorrect.

Warner Bros. has talked about going out with low-cost DVDs simultaneously in China because piracy is so huge there. It will be a while before bigger movies go out in all formats; in five years, everything will.
I am not into self-exploration. My family would lose their eyes in the backs of their heads if people talked about personal journeys or finding oneself.
I’ve talked to ghosts once. For me, it makes sense for them to be real because of physics. In physics, you can’t destroy energy; it can only be conserved.
What we have to remember is we want to utilize the tremendous intellect that we have in the military to win wars. I’ve talked to a lot of the generals, a lot of our advanced people. And believe me, if we gave them the mission, which is what the commander-in-chief does, they would be able to carry it out.
When I made ‘101 Reykjavik,’ people talked about ‘Almodovar on ice.’ When I made ‘The Sea,’ people referenced Bergman.
I’ve always said, ‘Besides Kiefer Sutherland, I talked on a cell phone more than any other actor on a TV show.’
I don’t think I’d really talked about politics – governmental politics specifically – very often, and it was a bit of a stretch for me to do so for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that I’m not that well-versed or educated in politics.
A border is a border. I have to be conscious of both my borders. I will also have be conscious of my sea. It is less talked about.
Growing up, I did quite a bit of reading on the mental side. My dad, who coached me, had us doing a lot of different types of mental work, like visualization. I read a couple of tennis books that talked about calming your nerves, belief, visualization, relaxing, breathing.
It’s a new endeavour for me. I’ve never run a territory. I’ve never talked publicly to people. I’ve got to try it just to see whether I like it.
I think the true test of a pop song, for me, and I’ve talked to a lot of other writers about this, is you take your demo, you pop it in your car and you drive down Sunset Blvd. to Santa Monica, and that’s the Hollywood car test.
I was lucky enough to play at Old Trafford, and we always talked about the atmosphere on a Tuesday night, the special atmosphere you create, and the crowd is rocking when you go out for a warm-up.
I lived in Paris when I was 20 and 21, and actually knew people that worked for the government there, that talked about terrorism in the country 20 years ago.
To record is a process against forgetting. I do interviews because it’s what I’ve been doing every day for a few hours since I was a kid. I’ve always talked to artists.
I wanted to make films that were culturally relevant in my own country, that challenged people, and that people talked about.
The more producers I talked to, the more I got looked at like I was crazy for wanting to make a live-sounding album.
When I first came back from Iraq, I of course found myself thinking a lot about it. Not just my experiences, but those of people I talked to, friends, and colleagues.
I always say that, I never talked about the NBA, I never talked about anything because I was just playing basketball for fun. I didn’t think about being a professional and I didn’t even know you could be signed.
I wrote a book called The Taste of New Wine because I couldn’t find a book that talked about the reality of the situation and how we were dishonest and afraid.
As a kid, I was only allowed to watch a certain amount of television. But once I was old enough to own my own TV, I would stay up until 4:00 A.M. watching Home Shopping Network night after night. Soft-spoken women talked about the jewelry in very detailed, intricate, precious ways, and I loved it.
When I sat down with Under Armour, one of the first things we talked about was how this can be bigger than just shoes, bigger than just basketball.
I really never had any ambitions to be a standup comic. I was talked into it by guys that I used to work out with.
I never talked about homosexuality with my family. After I was 18, they know everything, but I never talk; it was like an information but in silence. I start to talk when I was 32, it was good for me – it was like a liberation. I’m talking about a love story. I’m not talking about sex because love is love.
I was trained in the ’50s as a New Critic. I remember what literature was like before the New Critics, when people stood up and talked about Shelley’s soul and such things.
The first thing I organized around was the Central Park Five case for the young men who were accused. We talked about the unfair misrepresentation of these young teenagers in the media. I’ve been fighting back against Donald Trump for a long time.
I wanted to be successful enough that I’d have opportunities to talk about the church. I wanted people to listen whenever I talked about it.
I wasn’t out there pretending I was a conservative Democrat. I’m somebody who has talked a lot about and has done the act of running as who you are.
But Eddie does not make all the decisions. Eddie can listen to reason; Eddie can be swayed or talked in or out of certain things. Eddie allows other people to lead in this band and to have certain roles that are very fundamental to the decision-making process.
‘Real Steel’ was this lovely little piece where I held a cup of coffee and talked to Hugh Jackman for three weeks. And that sounded kind of nice.
Well, as an artist, I think that Elvis’s generosity to me he always talked very highly about me, he always spoke very highly about my work and singing and my writing.
I was socially awkward for many years. I stuttered, stammered, talked rubbish. I never take up invites to parties, and I’ve been invited to very glamorous things, but I never go.
As kids we didn’t complain about being poor; we talked about how rich we were going to be and made moves to get the lifestyle we aspired to by any means we could. And as soon as we had a little money, we were eager to show it.
