I always appreciated that connection between a parent and a kid because I yearned for it so much. Growing up, I wanted a father, and because I’ve had this idea of what a father should be, it’s exciting to finally have the opportunity to try and be that guy, to see if I can actually do it.

‘Death Sentence’ really is a throwback to the ’70s style revenge drama with moments of action. It’s like a contemporary ‘Death Wish’ with a much more thriller style storyline, but the action scenes I shot very much in the style of ’70s films like ‘The French Connection.’
I do love Shirley Jackson, but I don’t deserve to be named in connection with her. I remember reading ‘The Haunting of Hill House’ and having goosebumps for hours.

If your dad died before you were born, yeah, it hurts – but it’s not like you had a connection with something that was real.

You don’t have to do the picture, you have to do the autograph, but it’s important to take that moment to make a human connection.
I lost my father when I was 13 years old. He was a great man, my father, and very intelligent. I love him very much. I believe it’s very important that parents have a personal connection with their children. It helps kids feel more secure, have a feeling of family, makes them feel loved.
I think in the old days, the nexus of weirdness ran through Southern California, and to a degree New York City. I think it’s changed so that every bizarre story in the country now has a Florida connection. I don’t know why, except it must be some inversion of magnetic poles or something.
I’m into old-time music; I’m not very interested in modern, popular music at all. And if I’m really into some particular old-time musician, some fiddler or banjo player, I’m always dying of curiosity to see what they look like. So there’s some connection between visual images and music.
Once you start playing a piece, there is a connection between every note. You cannot say, ‘I will not concentrate on this note.’ You cannot ignore things the way you do in the rest of your life.
The connection which formerly existed between the Government and banks was in reality injurious to both, as well as to the general interests of the community at large.

I’m not sure I would make a direct connection between having press attention as a young person and being interested in the media as an older person. I came to it more organically, coming from a family of Irish Catholic storytellers. Storytelling is a pastime and important part of my family’s history and culture.
What I think is different today is the lack of political connection between the black middle class and the increasing numbers of black people who are more impoverished than ever before.
I’ve been in Los Angeles for a while, and the kind of psychological connection that one makes to people, it just doesn’t happen out here.
I want everything to be an honest extension of me. What better way than me talking? It’s a direct connection with everyone. With film and television, you make great projects, but stand-up is the thing that is completely yours.
I love Twitter! At first I made fun of it, because it is very narcissistic, and there’s already so much narcissism flowing in this industry, I was like, ‘Really, one more?’ So I was against it at first. But I really love the idea of the direct connection – there’s no middle man muddling it up.
Own every note I sing and sell it. Make a connection to the audience. That’s what it comes down to, you know?
You spend money on Internet connection for your employees. Why not spend money on the energy that fuels their brains?
People look at me, and I dress a little unusually and they think, ‘Oh you must be from California.’ Of course, people in California think, ‘Oh you must be from from Mars,’ so, you know, your next-door neighbour is not necessarily the person that you are going to make a connection with.
When I performed at ‘Open Mic U.K.’ I had this connection with the audience that I’d never felt before, and I loved it. It was my first big thing, and looking out into the crowd… was just amazing.
The ultimate connection is when you are connected to the creator of the universe.
I could care less about the radio or the TV or album sales. I want that connection with people because when I’m able to walk down the street, I want them to feel like I’ve done something for them and helped their life because I’ve never felt that way about a musician.
Spirituality was the main issue. Connection with God was the main issue.
Abortions can be, and frequently are, traumatizing, as are other invasive surgeries performed to the sexual and internal organs. All or any of these ‘violations’ can cause loss of vitality, diminished capacity for erotic connection and pleasure, and other symptoms of trauma.

I respect religion in general. I respect a lot, but I don’t follow any religion. You know, I just follow my personal connection with God. For me, God is inside my heart and is inside everyone’s heart.
Finding ballet gave me passion for the first time in my life. I was always very shy and just wanted to fit in; I never daydreamed about what I wanted to be when I grew up. But dancing gave me a connection to my personality that made me grow.
True twins share womb chemistry and endure many fateful slings and arrows together. The fabled connection between twins is true in my case.

I made a specific choice not to call my collection Ivanka. There’s so much value in the Trump name. And there’s such a deep connection to luxury and success.

I’ve never felt the breath of God – you can take that statement literally or metaphorically – more than when I was yearning for a personal, intimate connection to something bigger than me.

There is actually a physical connection between light and our health and wellbeing.
The great thing about a name like ‘Cougar Town’ is that you hear it once and you remember it forever. It’s a very ‘loud’ title. But there’s a connection to the word ‘cougar’ that means a lot of people are going to be turned off right away by the title alone without even giving the show a chance.
We will have to give up the hope that, if we try hard, we somehow will always do right by our children. The connection is imperfect. We will sometimes do wrong.
I believe in love at first sight. You want that connection, and then you want some problems.
Connection is very important. It’s extremely important for me to be connected and sharing with other people, giving them what I feel is important.
Frank Lloyd Wright made houses right up until the end. I think that’s important because it gives you a direct connection to all the basic aspects of architecture – the spatial energy of the place, the construction, the materials, the site, the detail.
I think the philosophy that you have to have if you travel frequently is, stuff is just stuff. Even if it has some sentimental or family connection, if you lose it in the world, it’s still just a thing, and I think if you don’t have that attitude, you will get incredibly stressed out and not enjoy your travels.
We’re hardwired for connection. There’s no arguing with the bioscience. But we can want it so badly we’re trying to hot-wire it.
I encourage people not to be passive consumers of music and of culture in general. And feeling like, yeah, you can enjoy the products of professionals, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have to completely give up the reins and give up every connection to music or whatever it happens to be.
In Hamburg, there are three major orchestras, an opera house, and one of the great concert-hall acoustics in Europe at the Laeiszhalle, in a town a fifth the size of London. And that’s not unusual. In Germany, there are dozens of towns with two or three orchestras. The connection with music goes very, very deep.
I don’t look at paying $8 billion for the directories business of Qwest as the thing that would really excite me… I’m looking at a connection to the human being where it’s interesting.
I felt such a deep connection with dolphins. I felt like they were the only ones who understood me.
Even if you don’t mind Romneycare, or the abortion flip-flop, or any of the rest, there’s a more basic problem: He’s not a natural campaigner, and on the stump he instinctively recoils from any personal connection with the voters.

When you form a band, you form a real relationship that’s like a marriage. It’s an emotional connection, especially when you’re young… because you don’t know what’s out there.
I know a lot of law officers, and every single one of them faces a moment – usually after about three hours on the job – when they realise that there’s no connection between law and justice. The law, as an institution, avoids justice, subverts it, just as often as it sees it done.
I discovered the same thing Gram Parsons did, that soul music and country music are practically identical. Based off of the same chord structures, and the songs are of heartache and loss. The main connection is they both came up in church.
I’d love to go back and do theater. There’s nothing like that instant response and the connection to a live audience.
It’s pretty cool that people will pay for something even though they don’t have to. It’s totally different now to back in the day. Now you’re paying for a record because you believe in the band. In the future that will be the only time people will pay for albums, because there’s some kind of connection.
I remind myself that I’m always more satisfied by human interaction than by a digital connection.
The business of business is relationships; the business of life is human connection.

For us, when we think about the Middle Ages, it’s sort of this rarefied, distant time that we have no connection to, especially if you grew up in America.
