Talked Quotations | Page 2

I had a Spanish teacher in high school. I rarely got in trouble in her room because I felt I was disappointing her if I got a bad grade. That had more power over me than teachers who told me I talked too much. That level of respect I had for her made me not want to fail for her.

I want to be talked about for the films I am doing rather than a party I attended, the dress I wore, and the men I may have met and dated. In any case, by and large I think I have spoken about more for the profession I am in than my personal life. That's the way I like it because frankly, I don't really have a personal life to begin with.

'Miss Jackson' is about something that actually happened to me when I was younger. I hadn't really talked about it, and I felt that if I didn't, I would keep thinking about it; it would drive me crazy.

I talked to lots of people who are vaccine-hesitant, and I actually was one myself until I got further into this project, and most of them actually are in my demographic: so well-educated people with advanced degrees who are upper middle-class and have read quite a bit on the subject.

Andrew has talked about my character being the conscience of the film, the heart of the film.

It's strange. No one ever really talked to me about my voice. People started writing about it, and I was like, 'What?' I'm really about my lyrics, but more people were talking about my voice. It's cool, but at first I got upset because I wanted people to focus on the content.

We talked about the Internet and Wikipedia and how facts and history are being collectively created online.

In one hotel, the maid who built the fire fainted in our room. Exhaustion was the cause. We talked with her later and learned that she worked 17 hours a day and makes 95 marks a month - about 50 cents.

The first of the four noble truths of Buddhism, that there is suffering in life, was enormously important to me. No one had ever said it out loud. That had been my experience, of course, but no one had ever talked about it. I didn't know what to do with all the fear and emotions within, and here was the Buddha saying this truth right out loud.

James Brown became my father. He would talk to me the way a father talked to a son. He became the father I never had.

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 know a lot of people who are not here anymore, and I wonder why I'm still here... Not a day goes by that I don't think about Sam Cooke. His presence is so strong and so convincing to me, a true artist, a true talent, who never talked down to people.

I talked to members of my family, and did some personal research that didn't really have anything to do with the time and place I was writing about, but that gave me a feeling of the experience of being black in a time and place where it was very difficult to be black.

I've always just talked to my family and my friends. I've never been a person that's gone through excessive therapy at all. Some people might say that I should.

A ring means a commitment. But more than that, it means that you've talked about your shared future and have decided together on a shared vision of it.

When I was doing 'Executive Orders,' I talked about Ebola to people who know about infectious diseases and their use as weapons of war, and guys told me that these weapons are more psychological than physical.

No one dislikes LL Cool J. If you meet LL Cool J, you fall in love with LL Cool J. LL and I had mutual friends, and he and I had always talked about doing something. My fans know LL's music. And I love him - we're blood brothers at this point. We've been through the fire together. I know no finer person.

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.

Mmmmmmmm. Anderson. He's dreamy. Just dreamy. I've been a fan of his since season 1 of 'The Mole.' I just thought he was so cool when he talked in this cool, low, secret-agent voice.

'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.

I called all adults by their first names, and my mum was just another adult. I was the firstborn of my generation in the family, but because I was so close to my parents in age, they treated me with a kind of adult respect. They talked to me as an equal.

I have a friend that is a WWII buff, and we sat and talked a lot about stuff like the war and the reasons behind it, and you now it's all in the uniform. Once you're in it, it usually does all the work for you.

It's one thing to have a relationship, to lay your hands on it, and another to make it continue and last. That's something I haven't talked about much in my comic strips, and it's certainly something I'm interested in.

If we accept being talked to any kind of a way, then we are telling ourselves we are not quite worth the best. And if we have the effrontery to talk to anybody with less than courtesy, we tell ourselves and the world we are not very intelligent.

I was reading an article in the 'New York Times;' it talked about being in the zone, and being in the zone you're so focused that time ceases to exist. It's when you think, 'Oh, I've been doing this for five hours and didn't even know it.' It's the difference between hard work and going, '12 o'clock, not moving.'

The serious questions that are talked out or strangled with red tape are more numerous than those that are killed by silence; the number of people whose ideas are knocked on the head in societies is greater in our day than that of the solitary fighters who go under.

When Mitt Romney talked about Putin expanding his sphere of influence, Obama mocked and said, 'The Cold War has been over 20 years, nothing to be worried about'... We keep making that mistake with Putin.

Geraldine Ferraro, the first woman to run for vice president, died from multiple myeloma. Frank Reynolds, the ABC anchorman, who I had talked to toward the end of his life, not knowing what he had, died from it. Later I found out that Frank McGee, who was the Today Show host, died from it.

I only got interested in radio once I talked my way into an internship at NPR's headquarters in Washington, D.C. in 1978, never having heard the network on the air.

I talked to Carolyn Dawn Johnson about doing a duet with her a few times, and we just haven't gotten it done.

Professor Obama has at least talked to us like we're adults.

The amount of things I want to tweet that I get talked out of? It's probably four times a week. I'm very hotheaded.

I never went to school more than six months in my life, but I can say this: that among my earliest recollections, I remember how, when a mere child, I used to get irritated when anybody talked to me in a way I could not understand.

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.

I talk to my fan club members, and I blog, and they know what's going on. But as far as Twitter, I'll be in a restaurant, and I'll get home, and somebody tweeted, and they talked about what I ordered and what I was wearing. In some cases, that could be dangerous, because you don't want everybody to know where you are every second of every day.

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.

The book is really, really dark, to the point where some people that I've talked to have said that it could be a series. And I'm like, Where? VH1? It's a little hard for VH1.

I have talked with great men, and I do not see how they differ from others.

I did an episode on my talk show on cellulite, and I brought seven women into a dressing room at Nordstrom's in L.A., and we all sat and talked about our cellulite.

The person I talked to didn't believe me when I told her I was getting the wrong bill. She kept telling me that the duplex may be wired wrong.

The personal thing is something I have never talked about. And I never will. That is prohibited. My job is public. But that's it. When you're not working, you don't have an obligation to be public.

The play (we talked about in the timeout) wasn't drawn up for that. It was kind of a mish-mash. I didn't even know the ball was coming to me until it was pretty much in my stick. So, I didn't really have time to get nervous.

We've already talked to people and it's completely safe, ... And with the exception of a few odds and ends, we're almost done.

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 already talked about it. And a lot of other coaches have noticed it as well. There's nothing we could do about now.

We've all talked about it. Our main office would have to send temps, or it would shut down. I wouldn't give my two weeks notice. Who cares? You are a multimillionaire on the next jet to the Bahamas.

We've all kind of talked him out of it. This year, he wants to do it.

We've actually talked about that a little bit. That's part of the reason I wanted to start catching him. Any time you catch somebody and you're more familiar with him, it helps, especially with as big as these games are going to be.

We started to fade a bit, started to lose focus the last couple of weeks. We talked about tightening up, taking care of the little details and just sort of refocus and regroup.

We struggled in the second quarter ... it hurts us a little bit with Kati Jo on the bench. But I thought we stepped up in the third. We talked a lot at halftime about boxing out better and not giving up rebounds, and I thought we did that.

We are a little bit out-of-touch in Hollywood. I think that?s probably a good thing. We are the ones who talked about AIDS when it was only being whispered ... We talked about civil rights ... I?m proud to be part of this Academy, proud to be part of this community.

We are a little bit out of touch in Hollywood every once in a while. I think it's probably a good thing. We're the ones who talk about AIDS when it was just being whispered, and we talked about civil rights when it wasn't really popular. This Academy, this group of people gave Hattie McDaniel an Oscar in 1939 when blacks were still sitting in the backs of theaters. I'm proud to be a part of this Academy.

We believe that the fundamentals of our business are still very healthy, and we did beat analysts estimates in terms of our earnings, and saw an opportunity to make a little more money with some slowness in Europe and the government sector. In the second half, we're still confident that the target and goal we have talked to the Street about, the 30 percent growth, is achievable, and believe that seasonally the second half is better, and will be this year as well,

There are some big inventories out there. The new products that they have talked about aren't out for another quarter or so. So it's probably going to be more of the same for some time.

We stressed to the kids the right way to do things. We talked about the negative effects and why you don?t want to do steroids. It?s cheating -- and certainly not a way to improve yourself.

We stopped a lot of their easy baskets. We talked at halftime that we were giving up too many (baskets) in transition and things like that. We gave up a lot of steals in the first half and a lot of easy baskets. We tried to focus on cutting off their dribble penetration. That was really hurting us. We wanted to make them shoot over the top. I think it worked to an extent in the second half.

We're in a position where we're flying under the radar. We're not being talked about on TV shows. When they mention teams in the playoffs, it's like the Jaguars are the last one. That's fine. I like it that way. When we beat New England, that says it all.

We started out good. We all talked about respecting them with Allen out. We had a seven-point lead and then we just completely wilted. We had a lot of guys that didn't bring it to tonight and they had a lot of people that brought it.

We started 0-4; that's what killed us, ... We've talked about that, especially with the young guys. We want everybody to know that it's important for us to start fast.

When you've got a player who had a bad game, you know they are going to want to come back and have a good game. We talked about it. We had to be alert to that. We knew she wanted to have a good game and she did.

When you talked about the Orioles, you talked about Elrod. Elrod Hendricks was one of the finest men I have ever met.

We didn't control the game. The last couple of weeks we talked about that a lot. You have to control the game in the postseason and play smart. It's frustrating because we just didn't play very well tonight.

There is no more talked about issue in West Virginia. This is hot.

Whether that's accurate I don't know. I never talked to Ripley.

We've always talked about the pressure from the outside and contrasting that with Terrell Suggs . If that's a nickel role, you're talking 15-25 snaps. He's capable of doing more, but we have a lot of assets here to balance that out. If we can use him more, we will.

We've always hoped that Page 2 would be a destination for people who wanted a good laugh and didn't take sports too seriously. Much of that was accomplished through parody, so it seemed natural that we'd be drawn to a product like the Onion. I think we've always had an admiration for what they do, and when we talked to the folks at the Onion, we found out that admiration was mutual.

When we were practicing for Italy that was one of my main things I talked to Coach Sue and Coach (Cori) Close about - how do I bring that leadership in that two spot? I think it's still coming up and being encouraging and still being positive and energetic.

When we went into foster care this last time we talked to our children about our desire to adopt and they were all excited about the possibility.

When I was in my mid-20s, I traveled a lot around the world, and the question I had for everyone I talked to was, 'What is your conception of God?' I found that everybody basically felt the same: God is within and without. He's in everything.

When I talked with the state, they said they had most of those records on microfiche. But they didn't have the books for these years and these counties. They couldn't believe that I had them.

When I was a kid, I read many of my mom's books. Sometimes, there were mysteries, but there were no delineations, and my mother never talked about book genres. Nor did we differentiate genres in school.

When I was a kid, I hated being talked to as a kid. I don't know if all kids feel that way, but I seem to remember awful things in the crib, something like people doing baby talk in the crib and sticking their big, fat faces in there and scaring me. So I always talk to kids as if they were a person.

We're going to put importance on the depth chart through the jerseys. We talked to the guys who have the white jerseys on offense and the crimson jerseys on defense about how you have to fight every day to hold on to those jerseys. We want it on their minds. We want to create an atmosphere that we have more competition that we've ever had.

We're going to go after them by doing the same things we've talked about all year. And that's tightening up in our own zone, opening it up in the offensive zone like we have been the past month or so, and 60 minutes of effort.

What they talked about were the qualifications for manslaughter,

What they're facing with their daughter's cancer is something that no family should have to go through. It's so sad. The situation as they described it, the governor talked with them and asked them questions.

Whenever she's around you're pretty much happy. She'd come over to my house between classes and I'd take her to class. We'd just talk. I told her all the time she reminded me of my sister. There aren't many people I could talk to like I talked to her.

When we came into this draft, we talked about the needs that we had on the defensive side. We've improved our speed, we've improved our tenacity and we've improved with some of the depth we're going to have.

When we got this inquiry from Mr. Silverberg, we called London and we talked to the Royal Mail. We tracked it all the way to their incoming distribution site. It was accepted by the Royal Mail, and it's from there that the trail went cold.

When we got back to Philadelphia and we talked about it, we just said, we got a second chance here - we got a second chance in life, forget about basketball. It just made every guy grow up - I think every guy became a little more mature, a little more focused on what's important in life, and I think it had a cumulative effect on our team.

When we first talked about (Loomis leaving), Steve's name was the first and only one discussed, ... He's a talented young man and we're looking forward to a bright future with him as crew chief.

We would very much like to work together again. And we've talked about it for years. For some reason it's been elusive. She would take a movie idea to a network and I would not be available. And of course Voyager happened and it's just been - it's not been in the cards. But I'd give my eye-teeth to work with her.

We would talk on the phone at night. We talked about everything, but our family life was really important. She was such a pleasant person. She was an outstanding woman.

What has gotten old is one-and-done. (Winning is) the next step. That's what we talked about in that locker room in Arizona last year.

We briefly talked about the fact that it happened. We said let's be intelligent about it and learn a lesson here, and let's play the game we want to play.

We bent a little, but we didn't break. That was a big thing that we talked about all week, being good in the red zone.

We are getting better and more physical and more explosive. That's what we have talked about doing since we got here.

What's not really clear who is who pays the license. I've talked to a few card companies, and a lot of those just gave me a pat phrase about how it wouldn't change anything that they're doing.

Yes, a little bit. But he made it easier. He came and talked to us before we went on. I think we were more uncomfortable before we met him than when we met him.

Years later, I was in Baltimore one day and I talked to (then-manager) Johnny Oates. He said, 'You changed the game. You created the ninth-inning pitcher.' I said, 'It was the managers who did it. They started holding back their best relief pitchers to get saves.'

With my access, I've talked with most every owner, every general manager and every player in both leagues. There's not a lot of guys up for jobs all across baseball that can say that.

We feel the best we have all year. We feel pretty good right now as far as our team goes. We've talked a lot about taking it one game at a time.

We're just sick of losing. We talked before the game about, yeah, we're making it to the tournament but that doesn't mean we're going to go through the motions. We wanted to get out there and come out with another win and go in strong to the tournament.

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.

We're real happy. We talked about how good they are and how sharp we'd have to be, then we gave them a goal 15 seconds into the game. Thank God that kind of woke us up, and then we started playing pretty hard.

We knew what our biggest weakness was. It was something we had talked about going back to last year. We had no argument with the skill of our defense. It certainly is one of the best in the league. But we were missing that size, grit and physical aspect.

We knew we were going to do that. The coaches talked about it. Now you (the media) know too.

With two in the second, we're getting lots of calls. We've talked to just about everyone in the league, and it seems as if more people are asking us if we want to move up rather than the other way around.

Would be nice if I could have talked to them or had an assembly on what they did.

We're still talking about what we should do at this point, but I can tell you every possible option has been considered. We've talked about using a four-man rotation. I wouldn't rule out anything.
