Talking Quotes

Why should I ever get fed up talking about my father? He was a brilliant, colorful man who left us with thousands of memories. Most people remember his films, but I’ve got anecdotes and advice and episodes of real life tucked away inside my head Picture Quote #1

If I’m setting up a new business I’ll spend three or four months learning everything there is about that business, everything there is about that subject and then I will find good people to run it on a day-to-day basis, but whilst they’re running it at least I know what they’re talking about when they come back to me Picture Quote #1

I’m not going to stop talking to people who come up to me in an airport. I’m not going to worry about what may be their ulterior motive Picture Quote #1

Interestingly it’s when you come to the comedy, that’s where a lot of the discussion is. It’s like ten people sitting around talking about what is funny. Is that funny? Is that funnier than that? Is this slightly funnier than this? I guess that’s what it’s like when you’re making a comedy movie as well, you just have to sit around talking seriously about the nature of comedy Picture Quote #1

If you talk to most athletes, the place you’re most comfortable is your playing field. I’m not so comfortable at a podium or talking about events Picture Quote #1

After I impulsively revealed that I have OCD on a talk show, I was devastated. I often do things without thinking. That’s my ADD/ADHD talking. Out in public, after I did the show, people came to me and said, ‘Me, too.’ They were the most comforting words I’ve ever heard Picture Quote #1

Two hours on television just doesn’t automatically happen. I’m up early, I’m reading newspapers online, talking to my staff, coming up with ideas Picture Quote #1

I’m not a natural employer. I live very privately, and we like our privacy at home. To be sitting and talking with your wife or your family and to have somebody walking around and you’re ignoring them, I couldn’t handle that at all. I can barely handle a cleaning lady coming in every so often Picture Quote #1

If I meet two guys at the same time and one of them is coming on really strong and talking a lot, and the other is more quiet and reserved, I’m going to like the second one. I want someone who isn’t going to give it away in the first meeting Picture Quote #1

When you voice your disagreement, begin by talking about what you have in common with the person you are arguing with. Too often we rush to judgment, race to argue, and overlook all the common ground we share Picture Quote #1

This simple truth is the essence of my message to Muslims throughout the world: know who you are, who you want to be, and start talking and working with whom you are not. Find common values and build with fellow citizens a society based on diversity and equality Picture Quote #1

One of the things that amazes me about Twitter is the way it utterly eradicates artificial barriers to communication. Things like status, geopolitics and so on keep people from talking to one another. Those go away in Twitter. You see exchanges that would never happen anywhere else Picture Quote #1

When ministers in this government talk about investing in education and skills, about making the planning system work; about employment law reform and delivering transport and power generation and broadband communication infrastructure, we are talking about raising Britain’s productivity Picture Quote #1

Very few people use landline phones for much of anything. So when you talk about things like online chat and social media messages and emails, what you’re really talking about is the full extent of human communication Picture Quote #1

We’re talking about the Communist Party, the Socialist worker’s movement, those movements basically have been underlined. We have other movements, but they’re not as powerful as the movements that we had then Picture Quote #1

You create a community with music, not just at concerts but by talking about it with your friends Picture Quote #1

My understanding from talking to a lot of people in the business has been that it used to be that a newspaper was considered a community service. Now they’re being run as profit centers, and they’re trying to get pretty high profit margins. As a result, investigative reporting has been seen as a problem Picture Quote #1

I’m often asked why I travel around the country talking politics. Is it for humanitarian reasons, community spirit, or is it for the money, the limousines or the girls? The answers are: no, no, yes yes yes! Picture Quote #1

I’m not good at confrontation. I know my strengths. I like company. And I am not a great arguer... I do find it much easier talking to people I like about things we both like Picture Quote #1

I have a practice of really not talking about the competition. I’m from the old school Picture Quote #1

I walk around talking to myself in accents. Usually people look at me like I’m a complete fruit loop Picture Quote #1

I used to psych myself up before the show and now I do the complete opposite: I psych myself down. It’s 12:30 at night, you don’t want some guy yelling at you. You want some guy just talking to you Picture Quote #1

Everyone thinks I have a coffee plantation in Sierra Leone, but I have a cashew crop project. I wrote about a woman who owns a coffee plantation! When you are talking about a woman writer coming from a hot country, there’s a complete assumption that she is writing about her own life Picture Quote #1

I’m always talking to people. It’s not that complicated. I just find somebody and say, Do you have any ideas. If they do, we just start thinking things around Picture Quote #1

I think teaching keeps me honest because if I’m up in front of a class talking about what I think is important about fiction while knowing I myself have just failed to do that hours earlier at my computer - it’s a good and humbling reminder Picture Quote #1

This is a global fight to get the right people in the right place and we’re talking about people with PhDs in engineering, computer science, mathematics Picture Quote #1

I would rather have racing without computers. The human side is forgotten, and instead of talking over what’s happening and just trusting the feel of the driver, the data becomes almost more important Picture Quote #1

The ministry of the church is a genuine concern for others. We need to stop talking about it and start doing it. Rise.Rise and shine, friend. Everyone you meet today is on heaven’s Most Wanted list Picture Quote #1

I have never had other kids in the house... I had a huge collection of marbles, and they all had names, which I think concerned my parents. I used to go and sweep outside and talk to myself, and my mum’s friends would be over and say, ‘Do you realise she is talking to herself?’ Picture Quote #1

I want to see children curled up with books, finding an awareness of themselves as they discover other people’s thoughts. I want them to make the connection that books are people’s stories, that writing is talking on paper, and I want them to write their own stories. I’d like my books to provide that connection for them Picture Quote #1
