I'm a journalist and that's what I do.

If you aren't creeped out by the No Birth Control Left Behind rhetoric of the White House and Planned Parenthood, you aren't listening closely enough. The anesthetic of progressive benevolence always dulls the senses. Wake up.

I never knew listening to a song could give you goose bumps and make you cry until I listened to Lauryn Hill.

A lot of brands just push messages out on social media, but that's not what social is about. Social is about engaging. It's about a conversation. It's about listening and then responding. It's an ongoing conversation with our fan base.

Lists are based on realism - on the coldly contemplated finitude of resources.

God is speaking to us. But are we listening to Him? When our conscience begins to nudge us for whatever reason, we might have this low-level misery or uneasiness about whatever it is we've done or we're about to do. At times like this, it's wise to prayerfully consider whether we're offending God with our actions.

I'm a realist and I always have been.

What's important is to listen before you react.

Journalists aren't supposed to be cheerleaders.

I first met Solange at a party for her gorgeous and inspiring website, Saint Heron. I'd already had so many phases of listening exclusively to 2012's 'True' and admired her activism and radiant style.

Not listening is the reason for so many misunderstandings and conflicts.

The same kids listening to Papa Roach will listen to an Xzibit CD.

It's unrealistic not to be able to indulge.

IM is interesting because you look at your buddy list and, at a glance, see what your friends are listening to, what they're working on, what they're doing. The problem was that you were bound to the computer keyboard.

It's just common sense that everyone should be listening to J Hus.

At an early age I was listening to BB King, what have you. Ray Charles, Jimmy Smith, Jimmy Mcgriff, you dig? With the obvious Marvin Gayes and the Motown records.

I listen to different artists. I open my mind to different artists.

I met Arcade Fire on their first record, 'Funeral.' I loved that record, and it was a record I was listening to while I wrote 'Where the Wild Things Are.' Those songs - especially 'Wake Up' and 'Neighbourhood' - there's a lot of that record that's about childhood.

You don't give Capello advice. Capello's a better talker than listener.

Me, I listen to all kinds of music, really.
