Being famous is having the power to really implement positive change in the world and it gives you the power to do what you want. I'm really grateful for it because I can play music and people will listen.

There's the famous thing that the A&R man from the record company is supposed to do: He's supposed to come into the studio and listen to the songs you've been recording and then say 'Guys I don't hear any singles.' And then everybody falls into a terrible depression because you have to write one.

I would like a food/lifestyle show. We're not sure what that is yet. I want to be able to share what I do and how I raise my family. I feel like I have a story to tell. I enjoy talking and listening sharing ideas and sharing advice.

Maybe there is no actual place called hell. Maybe hell is just having to listen to our grandparents breathe through their noses when they're eating sandwiches.

I will always try to share my faith with any person who is willing to listen. When I feel a wall go up we can talk about something else... and I will pray for you.

Earmarks have become a symbol of a Congress that has broken faith with the people. This earmark ban shows the American people we are listening and we are dead serious about ending business as usual in Washington.

It is no longer a question of a Christian going about to convert others to the faith but of each one being ready to listen to the other and so to grow together in mutual understanding.

To know a person's religion we need not listen to his profession of faith but must find his brand of intolerance.

Nor shall derision prove powerful against those who listen to humanity or those who follow in the footsteps of divinity for they shall live forever. Forever.

Successful entrepreneurs find the balance between listening to their inner voice and staying persistent in driving for success - because sometimes success is waiting right across from the transitional bump that's disguised as failure.

It is brilliant going to the theatre and being forced to sit and listen and think about life. It can be almost a near-religious experience.

Yes I've listened to just a few audiobooks - but hope to listen to more. I've wanted to investigate how my own books sound in this format and find the experience of listening and not reading quite fascinating.

I really do love Diana Ross I grew up listening to her records. I grew up in a little town in Mexico so while we got the music we never got the experience of watching her.

It has been my experience that if we make the effort to listen to people when we meet them and work to get to know them a little it is then easy to find something likeable in practically anyone.

My own experience is use the tools that are out there. Use the digital world. But never lose sight of the need to reach out and talk to other people who don't share your view. Listen to them and see if you can find a way to compromise.

Everything has been said before but since nobody listens we have to keep going back and beginning all over again.

Women have a lot to say about how to advance women's rights and governments need to learn from that listen to the movement and respond.

If you go and talk to most people they mean well but they don't have much of a breadth on education of knowledge of understanding what the real issues are and therefore they listen to pundits on television who tell them what they are supposed to think and they keep repeating that until pretty soon they say 'Oh well that must be true.'

Learning is a result of listening which in turn leads to even better listening and attentiveness to the other person. In other words to learn from the child we must have empathy and empathy grows as we learn.

Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.
