I have talked to Debbie Hammond quite a bit, Jim Hammond’s wife, his widow. I’ve seen their kids. And last time we played Dallas, a lot of them came over. It’s hard for them to come see the show. It’s still hard.
My mental approach is totally different. My coach predicated everything on defense. He always talked about defense, defense, defense. I took it to heart that if you play defense, you can take the heart from an offensive player.
If a mother or a caregiver does not have a job that pays a living wage and they cannot afford child care, that is unacceptable. I’ve talked to my constituents over the years, and child care can almost bankrupt a family, even a two-parent household in which both parents are working.
From the time I was very young, maybe five or six, I thought a lot about being an actress. I didn’t tell my friends about my ambitions, though, especially when I got older, because I thought they would not receive them well. I never talked about what I wanted to do.
I was never funny. I’d be funny once a year at Christmas. I’d do impressions of how people talked and danced, but that stopped when I was about 11.
It’s really important to have role models, and a lot of the ancients always talked about this. Seneca talked about this, Aristotle talked about this, and in fact, this was my boxing coach’s philosophy in college, was that you have to have role models.
For two years nobody talked about anything other than the name arrangement. There was no fund-raising and no progress being made on construction and design.
I was aiming for the cooks that I’ve talked to by teaching an online course and by traveling, listening to people who are really busy and harried but want to be cooking.
Imagine a music business where all the music press talked about, all day long, was cover bands of old rock and pop groups. Beatles cover bands, Rolling Stones cover bands, The Who cover bands, Led Zeppelin cover bands. Cover bands, cover bands, everywhere you go.
The year that ‘Lost’ started and premiered was, without a doubt, the most miserable year of my life. The level of despair and anguish that I was feeling; I was clinically depressed, and anyone that you talked to who knew me at the time will tell you that.
In North Korean culture, love is a shameful thing and nobody talked about it in public. The regime was not interested in human desires and love stories were banned.
‘Trolls’ was a blank slate – there was no world, no mythology. We talked a lot about the Grinch and we liked how they showed his heart growing, but how do you show a photographable device like that for the Bergens? We ended up using color for a lot of that: desaturating and then pulling the saturation up.
Sitting around our kitchen table from a very early age on, we talked politics, and we talked policy. Never once can I ever remember my dad saying, ‘Go away, this is an adult conversation.’
I have never met a successful person who talked about failing. The glass is always half full. I don’t even like being around negative talkers.
I had a baby with no pain medicine, mainly because most people I talked to didn’t think I’d be able to do it. So there!
Honestly, everybody gets talked about. Some people control their press a little more than others. Some people feed the press and move it the way they want to. I don’t do that.
Snowden has yet to tell me anything that was a fact that I have been able to rebut or that anybody in the U.S. government I have talked to has been able to rebut.
I once dated a weather girl, we talked up a storm.
I’ve always talked and like to organise as much as possible.
To me, the Seventies were very inspirational and very influential… With my whole persona as Snoop Dogg, as a person, as a rapper. I just love the Seventies style, the way all the players dressed nice, you know, kept their hair looking good, drove sharp cars and they talked real slick.
I can’t be the only person in the world to have three different husbands, and yet those relationships are never talked about.
I’ve talked to Mitt Romney. He’s not going to run for this seat. I would be glad for him if he would.
The greatest benefit of depression is the fact that when I have talked about it, every so often someone comes up and says, ‘You saved my dad’s life.’
The Mexicans bowed down when we talked about removing their foreign aid, and then they began cooperating with our country.
I talked to Marvel about ‘Thor’ at one point, but I didn’t want to do Thor. It wasn’t something I read growing up, really; it wasn’t one of the books I loved.
People thought I looked weird, that I talked weird.
Tony Benn and I were very close, very close friends for 30, 40 years. We talked to each other a great deal, and we were great friends. And I was with him shortly before he died, talking about prospects of the world and prospects for peace. And I’m very sad that he’s gone.
I was 48-years old before anybody talked me into it for medicinal purposes, instead of some of these drugs that they give you that will lead you to heart surgery and things of that nature.
I was intending not do any more telly and then I got talked into ‘My Kitchen Rules,’ which I did with Michael Caines.
Every coal miner I talked to had, in his history, at least one story of a cave-in. ‘Yeah, he got covered up,’ is a way coal miners refer to fathers and brothers and sons who got buried alive.
I’ve talked to several CEOs – from a recycling company in Indiana, a furniture company in Kentucky, a brewing company in Colorado, and more – who believe paying higher wages is both the right thing to do and part of a successful business model.
We’ve talked more about civil rights after the Civil Rights Act of 1964 than we talked about it before 1964.
There’s a lot of people all over the world that talked about me.
Unlike Chicago or New York, small-town Minnesota did not allow a man’s failings to disappear beneath a veil of numbers. People talked. Secrets did not stay secret.
I talked to a guy who has old cars, and there are parts that don’t exist any more. So he makes radio dial knobs for obscure cars.
I was 28 years old playing a 16-year-old. I just kept my mouth shut. I never talked about it.
People often link grime with other things, like street culture, and clashing, and MC battles and whatnot. But no one’s ever talked in misogyny in grime. That’s often linked to hip-hop, I know people talk about that is a problem in hip-hop. But not grime.
I’ve always talked to people about my grandmother, who is really into technology and has been on Twitter since 2006. It’s unreal how tech-savvy she is.
I have been on shop floors. I have talked to a lot of the companies that create jobs in South Carolina and across the country. And what they want is less regulation.
I’ve met several times with the Activision guys and we’ve talked at length about Blizzard’s philosophy on game development and game publishing and all the things that are important to us at Blizzard. We found that we shared a lot of the same values.
The parents’ job is to be there for their kids, not the other way round. Troubles between parents need to be talked through with friends and not visited on the children.
I talked late, swam late, did not learn to ride a bike until college – and might never have walked or learned to drive a car if my parents hadn’t overruled my lack of motivation and virtually forced me to embrace both forms of transportation. I suspect I was happy to sit in a corner with a book.
Being able to communicate with a loved one that you haven’t talked to in a while because of some communication break makes their life and your life in a much better place.
Throughout my life, I have talked to Heavenly Father regularly through prayer. I am very grateful to my parents for teaching me that Heavenly Father lives and that He always listens to us. He listens to me, and He listens to you. I know that He will always be there for you.
I have talked with great men, and I do not see how they differ from others.
It sort of filtered into their subconscious through motion pictures, but it’s an historical secret. This – whatever this is – needs to be studied and, in a kind of definitive way, talked about.
I’m not flying to the moon. But when I’ve talked to people who have been up, you can tell it’s really special because without fail a very special light comes into their eyes and they appear to be very fulfilled in some way and very calm.
In doing my podcast, I do find that I tend to try out bits that I then try on stage later that day. If they work, great, and if they don’t, I regret having talked about it on the podcast.
My grandfather talked about James Dean; they were both very much into method acting.
I phoned the KKK Grand Wizard David Duke in Louisiana and asked why my membership was being delayed. He said my application was on his desk and promised to deal with it personally. It was the first of many conversations with David Duke. We talked about his family, the weather, and about his political ambitions.
If you’re truly in a band and you guys have been together for a long time, there’s a family bond that you have. In fact, I’ve talked about this with therapists, especially if you’re talking about a relationship, because when you’re with somebody, you’re going to your family, and she’s alone.
My wife had a miscarriage. We have rarely talked about it. It did make me more aware of the sanctity of human life, how precious every child is.
