I like the idea that people hear my stuff, and if it's commercially successful, that's a good sign that it's being heard.

I'm the youngest of five - three girls and two boys. There was one record player for the seven of us. It was good for me, because I got to hear everyone else's music.

I always used to get in trouble for talking too much. When it was time for parent-teacher conferences, I remember that I was always embarrassed about what my parents would hear about me!

The world is a fascinating, difficult place, and in order to take full advantage of what the planet has to offer, we need to see and hear natural things.

I used to buy vinyl. Today, if you do put out a record on a label, traditionally, most people are going to hear it via a leak that happens two weeks - if not two months - before it comes out. There's no real way around that.

It's heartening when people hear for the first time that their vote really matters.

You hear about women buying shoes? I buy DVDs. I definitely have a problem.

You won't hear me talk about my politics, you won't hear me talk about my vegetarianism, you won't hear me comment on the Iraq war. You'll only hear me talk about being gay and being an actor. I am just public on those two issues.

One thing you can't intend is how you will be read. I hear it said a lot that my books are about the 'search for identity', and this is said admiringly, as if I meant to encourage such a search.

We hear many persuasive voices demanding freedom from restrictions, particularly from moral restraints. However, we learn from the history of the earth that any successful society has had boundaries.

People like it when others are gossiping. When you hear a story about someone's demise or some big faux-pas they made, everyone wants to tune into it, because it's nice to know that someone else made a mistake. It makes you feel elevated for a moment.

You can't hear a word and just hear it as raw sound; it always evokes an associated meaning and emotion in the brain.

I'm not one who can get by on six hours sleep night after night. You can see it on my face and hear it in my voice. When working 14-hour days, I have to go home, go to sleep, and wake up in time for crew call. I hate naps. They throw me off the rest of the day.

People are clamoring to hear good ideas as opposed to the lesser of two evils... Either the Democrats are going to win or the Republicans are going to win, but the losers are all of us out here as citizens that really do want meaningful change, and none of it's happening. There's no dialogue regarding meaningful change.

The Gospels record that nearly everywhere the Savior went, He was surrounded by multitudes of people. Some hoped that He would heal them; others came to hear Him speak. Others came for practical advice. Toward the end of His mortal ministry, some came to mock and ridicule Him and to clamor for His crucifixion.

I feel that I had been rescued from the gutter by America. One day I was under the gutter, chased by police, thinking dogs were going to get me. I laid there listening to the dogs and the gutter. The next day, there I am standing on the Olympic platform, and you hear the anthem. I was proud.

You hear about actors being late and all that sort of stuff, but you never find that with an actor who's directed, because an actor who's directed understands all the problems your production is going through.

But let me perfectly clear, because I know you'll hear the same old claims that rolling back these tax breaks means a massive tax increase on the American people: if your family earns less than $250,000 a year, you will not see your taxes increased a single dime. I repeat: not one single dime.

If I'm going to be the best in what I do, I have to study what I'm doing, I have to see what I'm doing. I have to see it, I have to hear it. I'm just starting to appreciate myself - not starting, but appreciating myself in a way where I can look at myself back in a movie or listen to myself as much as I do now.

My favourite animal would probably be - probably be a dingo. Because I like how in the night you can - at the zoo, you can hear them howl and stuff like that. It's just amazing.

I never try to give a message in my books. It's about living with characters long enough to hear their voices and let them tell me the story. Sometimes I would love to have a happy ending, and it doesn't happen because the character or the story leads me in another direction.

If you walk through Knightsbridge on any bland day of the week you won't hear an English accent. You'll hear every accent under the sun apart from the British accent.

Music was an experience, intimately married to your life. You could pay to hear music, but after you did, it was over, gone - a memory.

I realize that sometimes I get bothered when I see the world acting like the world. Did you hear what I said? The world is supposed to act like the world, and God tells us that every generation gets more wicked, so why the surprise? Maybe we have some word to swallow ourselves.

We hear tears loudly on this side of Heaven. What we don't take time to contemplate are the even louder cheers on the other side of death's valley.

It's easy to get lost in the shuffle, and just enticing people to hear the music for free doesn't mean that much when everyone else is essentially doing the same thing on MySpace, or wherever.

When I hear the words 'Women should be barefoot and pregnant and in the kitchen,' I think, 'What. A. Dream.' There are no negative connotations to it.

My teacher Tom Spanbauer, the man who got me started writing in his workshop, used to say: 'Writers write because they weren't invited to a party.' That always struck so true, and people always nod their heads when they hear that. Especially writers.

My voice is very distinct. People hear Tracy Morgan's voice, and they know Tracy Morgan right off the bat because I've been in their homes for so many years.

Every day or two, I strolled to the village to hear some of the gossip which is incessantly going on there, circulating either from mouth to mouth, or from newspaper to newspaper, and which, taken in homeopathic doses, was really as refreshing in its way as the rustle of leaves and the peeping of frogs.

You can almost hear people saying, 'We're going to make a movie about an election' and 'We're going to make a movie about a lobbyist.' You can hear the yawning start across the nation.

If I walked into the kitchen without washing my hands as a kid, I'd hear a loud 'A-hem!' from my mother or grandmother. Now I count on other people to do the same.

The language of all the interpretations, the translations, of the Judaic Bible and the Christian Bible, is musical, just wonderful. I read the Bible to myself; I'll take any translation, any edition, and read it aloud, just to hear the language, hear the rhythm, and remind myself how beautiful English is.

The personnel in the support offices know they are doing their jobs well when they never hear about themselves, because that means Soldiers have their food, equipment and issues squared away, ... If you look at the basic needs of Soldiersfood, shelter, a means to survivethen you realize that a Soldier cant eat, communicate, or have the equipment they need to do their job without logistics having a hand in the operation.

The people who knocked these buildings down will hear from all of us soon.

We appreciate all of the people who came out to help us with our hunting regulation process. It's important that we hear from the state's sportsmen on these and other issues. This all began with the public meetings and will continue until we have a season that will benefit both hunters and the resource.

We are providing a sanctuary for God's people. You don't hear sirens and police cars going up and down around here.

We've already talked about that and they're OK with that. I want them to hear that from me and let them know I'm going to finish what I started. Hopefully that'll mean we're running track into May.

We've all seen games when they make play-by-play calls and you can actually hear the call two or three times, due to echoes in the space. That's the sort of thing you don't want here, because that interferes with what we want in terms of good, clean speech intelligibility.

We utilized the center channel to present the kick drum, snare and bass guitar tracks, as well as singer Greg Graffin's lead vocals, ... Unlike a lot of modern music mixes for 5.1, the center channel was our anchor. This mix is more akin to a 5.1 feature film mix. By mixing in the Rick Chace Theater we had the opportunity to experience the entire concert in a THX-certified dubbing stage and in a room we know, love and trust. To ensure final compatibility in a range of different environments, Brett reviewed the final mix in Mix One, our THX pm3-certified near-field room, and took a few songs on a DVD reference disc so he could also hear the final mix on the new Bose home theater system located at Epitaph's Los Angeles headquarters.

We believe that Steven Lorenzo is a violent and dangerous man who's capable of murder. We're in the process of building our own murder case against Lorenzo with two victims, and we do think there is a possibility of other victims out there. And we are still looking for help from the public to learn more about any possible victims or to find out about any possible victims. If anyone has a loved one who they think has had contact with Lorenzo, we'd like to hear from them.

We're in a marketplace where any kind of negative signal worries people. The same way some of the tech companies caused a ripple, I think investors hear Lowe's issue a warning, hear what's going on with one of the great players in the sector, and they get nervous.

We're in a legal proceeding with the players' association and the Eagles and the management council. We hope it doesn't come to that. I certainly hope, as a result of this, we'll hear from the Eagles and they'll welcome him back.

We stand ready to hear what they have to say.

When you treat guys like you're in Little League, they're not going to rally around you like you might want them to. If I took a bad swing, I know I took a bad swing. I don't need to hear about it from everybody.

When you talk to guys in the record industry you do hear a lot of, 'Wow, she's 30, she's 35,' as if that completely ends any discussion.

There is no pain you are receding A distant ship, smoke on the horizon. You are only coming through in waves. Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.

I have become comfortably numb.

Until we hear differently, we'll be business as usual.

Watching him play and watching him talk about the seasons that they had is motivating. I grew up watching it, so to hear the inside scoop of the championships they won and watching him play is a motivation.

When we were taking the carts back to the tee, ... I couldn't hear anything. In my left ear, I'm half deaf, people whistling and screaming, and then my right ear, I'm half deaf. It was electric, it was loud, people were really into it. J. D. brings huge galleries everywhere he goes.

When it comes down to vocals, I want to hear something that's going to be melodic. David's always had those animalistic instincts of making those gut sounds, or whatever you want to call it. But he's developed a really strong singing voice.

When I was a boy, my older brothers listened to Earth, Wind & Fire and Kool and the Gang. When I would try to get into their room, they would close the door and say, 'You can't hear that. It's not for a child!' Now, I can listen to it and enjoy it.

We're making excellent progress. It was a very informative meeting and it was good for us to be able to hear from residents that live in both the north and south ends of the city. It was very interesting to hear what they had to say.

We're starting to gain an identity and confidence. We're starting to build. You can hear it in the banter on the bench.

We're starting to gain an identity and a lot of confidence. The game (Sunday) against Ottawa has really moved our game up a notch... You can hear things on the bench, the bantering between players, which is excellent. You can hear the locker room has a lot more life. Our team is starting to gel.

We're sort of waiting by the phone to hear what they decide.

We're going to go back to the drawing board. Good movies are supposed to buck this trend. You hear how it's all about the product, but we have an excellent movie that people just aren't turning out for. It's something bigger.

What they hear from him is constant support, constant affirmation, constant compliments, because that's his style. He's a positive guy. Even in the midst of difficulties, he's a positive guy.

What a great atmosphere. Three years ago, you could hear each other on the bench. It's a lot different now. It's a lot of fun and it adds a lot for the kids.

We would rather assure them than not hear from them and have to help them recoup losses later.

What he did was wonderful. He has a great deal of integrity. You don't always hear good stories.

What has changed is the American guys trying to learn Spanish. In the dugout, when I hear the Latin guys trying to speak English and the Americans trying to speak Spanish, it's funny.

What happens is the guys on the team hear what is going on, and it affects what they are doing. It can be a pretty big demoralizer. Sure, drivers come and go, but telling your crew that you'll be gone in 16-17 months can affect a lot of things between now and the time of your New Year's Eve party going into 2007.

We grow tired of ourselves, much more of other people. Use may in part reconcile us to our own tediousness, but we do not adopt that of others on the same paternal principle. We may be willing to sell a story twice, never to hear one more than once.

We believe very strongly in this case. ... I'll have to sit down with our team of litigators and hear from them as to what is the appropriate next step,

What's somewhat surprising is that you hear people talking about holding off on spending cuts,

We're familiar with the notion of musicians reinterpreting the same song over and over, but we don't ever hear that with comedians,

We're just amazed at the reaction of people when they hear about the Korean study. They're scared of this pandemic, so they're looking for anything to potentially protect themselves.

We're getting back to the simplicity of why people love the brand. They can really hear the wit and self-deprecation of the brand. It's a step in the right direction.

We're aware of the system. Obviously, we like to learn as much as we can about things, and when we hear people remark that they're impressed by it, we're going to pay attention. But we don't speak about individual products.

Through language, we can tell the truth and hear the truth spoken, just as we can be deceived. Sometimes it's a painful realization: we can be lied to. As I write, I think of myself as putting my eye under oath, so that what I write is the truth about my characters.

We're ready for battle and all we need now is to hear the sound of the bugle.

With the new ones, not only can't you feel air, you can't even hear fire trucks when they go by.
