“Well I'm Superman, just not action. I'm kind of looking for something with a lot less action and more talking and listening. I also have a film that's premiering Vegas Film Festival, short film, directed by Joel Kelly, it's called Denial and it's a story, short film, 35 mm short film and it's about a man's struggle to choose between the woman of his dreams and his reality, so it's definitely different than Superman. So I'm really proud of that.” MenWellsKindDifferentStoriesDreamRealityActionFilmTalkingStruggleListeningProudDenialFestivalsVegasShort FilmsFilm FestivalsTalking And Listening Author:Brandon Routh
“I am sort of proud that I think radio has become a dominant influence in shaping public opinion. Good radio paints the picture for the audience. The audience has to be actively involved. Sometimes, in television, you can get lulled into sleep watching the picture, not listening to what you're hearing.” ThinkingSometimesSleepOpinionAudienceInfluenceTelevisionListeningProudInvolvedPaintRadioHearingDominantPublic Opinion Author:Rush Limbaugh
“True listening is never self-effacement. We bring the whole self to the process, rather than denying self. When we truly listen, we aren't just waiting for someone else to decide something so we can get on with things, or so we don't have to decide for ourselves. We aren't giving away our own powers to be seen and heard. When we listen, first we listen to the parts of ourselves that are curious, in avoidance, afraid, angry, or proud. Then we can take a breath and sink, allowing those parts some space alongside the spaciousness of not knowing.” GivingFirstsSelfWholeWaitingProcessSpaceKnowingHeardListeningProudBreathsAngryCuriousAllowingNot KnowingAvoidanceSpaciousnessDenying Self Book:Make Magic of Your Life: Passion, Purpose, and the Power of Desire Source: Make Magic of Your Life: Passion, Purpose, and the Power of Desire
“The thing about being an artist is that you evolve so quickly, you grow, you learn, you change, you find yourself hating work that you made months prior. That's the hard part about making an album, but every couple days I fall asleep listening to my album front to back and I lay there feeling so proud of what I did.” MadeHardFeelingsArtistHateFallGrowsFrontsListeningMonthsProudCoupleLaysAlbumsEvolveFinding YourselfBeing An Artist Author:Halsey
“Listening is terribly important if you want to understand anything about people. You listen to what they say and how they say it, what they share and what they are reticent about, what they tell truthfully and what they lie about, what they hope for and what they fear, what they are proud of, what they are ashamed of. If you don't pay attention to other people, how can you understand their choices through time and how their stories come out?” PeopleIfsWantImportantStoriesLyingChoicesPayAttentionShareListeningProudPay AttentionAshamedRough Times Author:Marge Piercy
“I found myself thinking about the distance between the 60s and today through certain moments. Like the Henry Flynt interview with Ubuweb founder Kenny Goldsmith, where he talks about how he was scarred by how proud John Cage was to be ignorant of popular music. Goldsmith says, "Nobody thinks twice nowadays about listening to everything!" Something that had seemed so uniquely, radically syncretistic in Flynt's day seems much more commonplace now.” ThinkingMomentsTodayListeningProudDistanceIgnorantFoundersPopular MusicKenny Author:David Grubbs
