Call Quotes
I was having a conversation with my father and he was talking about this thing - strangeness and charm. It's actually the name of the two smallest particles that there are when you split the atom, so I wrote a song around it. I even managed to fit the word 'hydrogen' in there. Isn't that a nice thing for scientists to call them though?

Advances Quotes
I think one of the themes that he emphasized in many ways ... was that we need to spend time reflecting ethical implications of our work, and bring the traditions and wisdom of the Church into greater conversation with the advances in knowledge and understanding. He was saying that Notre Dame has a very distinct role and its voice needs to be heard.

Filmmakers Quotes
I thought it would be interesting to hear a conversation between filmmakers instead of just a filmmaker gassing on about his own movie. Steven is so literate about this stuff and a great film journalist in his own right and a good friend, so it worked out. He also loved the movie and volunteered to do it.

-
Candidate Quotes
We never had a conversation about which candidate Rick Greenspan liked. I gave him my opinion. I said, 'Steve Alford would be a great candidate.' I gave him my opinions. But it wasn't until recently that we had conversations about who was out there, who was available, who was interested, what our options were, that sort of thing. It hasn't been a very long time.

Opportunity Quotes
We are not post-racial. And in many ways we don't even know how to have a conversation about being post-racial. Until we get out of that old-school way of thinking about race and opportunity and the ability to transcend some of the past of this country, then we're going to be stuck in the 20th-century conversation about race.

Body Quotes
When you're on set all day, and you don't look people in the eye, it's really relaxing. Normally when you talk to someone, a lot of the conversation is in the body language and in the eye contact and stuff.

Act Quotes
The conversation between the president and Ms. Lewinsky on December 17 was a critical turning point. The evidence suggests that the president chose to engage in a criminal act -- to reach an understanding with Ms. Lewinsky that they would both make false statements under oath. At that moment, the president's intimate relationship with a subordinate employee was transformed. It was transformed into an unlawful effort to thwart the judicial process. This was no longer an issue of private conduct.
