I would like to be the kind of coach who gets text messages and phone calls from players years after I coach them, because we had something that is bigger than just being on the floor. Monty Williams

Growing up, I didn’t get the talk of ‘Make sure boys take you on a date and treat you right.’ So I was the girl who wasn’t dating and would just text. I dated these guys who didn’t have jobs, and I would always be paying. At one point, I remember looking in the mirror and thinking, ‘You’re too pretty and cool to be treated like this.’ Meghan Trainor

I’ve got recruits that will text and call and do everything in the middle of the night. And I’m thinking, ‘I’m with my family.’ But you’ve got to dedicate time to that, or you can’t do it. Kirby Smart

We haven’t lost romance in the digital age, but we may be neglecting it. In doing so, antiquated art forms are taking on new importance. The power of a handwritten letter is greater than ever. It’s personal and deliberate and means more than an e-mail or text ever will. Ashton Kutcher

I got so many people that have my number. It’s crazy. I just don’t feel like texting anybody back after I get, like, 30 text messages in three hours. I just be chilling. A Boogie wit da Hoodie

When the show opens, fans can text to a number we flash up on the screen, and then we do a meet-and-greet with 60 to 80 people every night. It’s something I love doing, and I would say that’s probably more fans than most artists bring backstage after a show. Luke Bryan

These ‘free’ applications ask for permission to read your emails, your text messages, listen to your phone calls, record video from your phone. Why else would someone spend millions developing an application which they then give away? Kind-hearted, maybe? Get real. John McAfee

If children are studying the 20th century, I’m in their text books. Paul McCartney

I learn poetry, learn text, and that really keeps you alive. Anthony Hopkins

There is no need for neighborhood informants and paper dossiers if the government can see citizens’ every Web site visit, e-mail and text message. Adam Cohen

Technology and the Internet are not just changing politics here in the U.S. It’s also happening abroad. In the Philippines, where I grew up, grassroots organizers used text messaging to help overthrow a president. Jose Antonio Vargas

Music is the melody whose text is the world. Arthur Schopenhauer

The text is a limited field of possible constructions. Paul Ricoeur

These days, children can text on their cell phone all night long, and no one else is seeing that phone. You don’t know who is calling that child. Kamala Harris

YouTube is the vlogs and my life, then Instagram is comedy skits and pictures that I take. Twitter’s text, and Instagram Stories is even more behind-the-scenes vlog stuff. I’m always posting. Jake Paul

When I preaches, I has just one text to preach from, an’ I always preaches from this one. My text is, ‘When I found Jesus.’ Sojourner Truth

Thanks to modern technology, we now can deliver every text in every research library to every citizen in our country, and to everyone in the world. If we fail to do so, we are not living up to our civic duty. Robert Darnton

I think what matters most in literary work is the context, not the text. Andrea Hirata

In a poem, the words happen; they just come. I let them. Otherwise, I wouldn’t write. To interfere with what is happening is to distort the poem. Just a very small degree of intelligence and supervision is necessary. Very tactful. Any revision later that violates the text as it came, that begins rewriting the words, is fake. Louis Dudek

With vocal and choral music, first and foremost, it’s the text. Not only do I need to serve the text, but the text – when I’m doing it right – acts as the perfect ‘blueprint’, and all the architecture is there. The poet has done the heavy lifting, so my job is to find the soul of the poem and then somehow translate that into music. Eric Whitacre

What I can’t tell with a photo I will tell with a painting, and what I can’t tell with a painting I will tell with a video or text sometimes, et cetera. Francis Alys

I respect the fact that a director has studied the text and the road map of work before us, the subtleties, interconnections, underpinnings… His job is to paint the entire picture and knows all the colors that have to be in it. Ruby Dee

Isn’t one of your first exercises in learning how to communicate to write a description of how to tie your shoelaces? The point being that it’s basically impossible to use text to show that. Donald Norman

We do not need a heavy theoretical thumb on the scales. What’s important is how the traditional sources of law and legal interpretation – text, structure, history, canons of interpretation, precedent, and other well-established tools of the judicial craft – are prioritized, weighted, and applied. Diane S. Sykes

I have a color-coded computer spreadsheet that divides things down to chapter fragments. Each character’s point-of-view is a different color. The text of the manuscript is color-coded the same way. The last thing I do before submitting the manuscript is turn all those colors back to black. Neal Shusterman

I want to play Lady Macbeth. I have a big chip on my shoulder about Lady Macbeth. People usually play her as this cold, Greek witch, but there’s no evidence of that in the text! I think her intentions are pure. Hari Nef

Email is not the simple exchange of text messages. Email is the electronic version of the interoffice mail system used for formal letter or memo communication. Shiva Ayyadurai

But theater, because of its nature, both text, images, multimedia effects, has a wider base of communication with an audience. That’s why I call it the most social of the various art forms. Wole Soyinka

Because the last time I saw my family was 2015. Sometimes I even forget what they look like, you know? It’s so hard to communicate with them. Because Turkish police raided my house. They took electronics away, computers away. They wanted to see if I’m still in contact with my family or not. Any single text, they will all be in jail. Enes Kanter

Around the time I began starving, in the early eighties, the visual image had begun to supplant text as culture’s primary mode of communication, a radical change because images work so differently than words: They’re immediate, they hit you at levels way beneath intellect, they come fast and furious. Caroline Knapp

If you have to go back and spell-check the text you’re about to send, you’re saying too much. Jaleel White

For 8,000 years, we’ve had lyric poetry; for 400 years we’ve had the novel: theatre hands its meaning down in text. Let’s find a medium whose total, sole responsibility is the world as seen as a form of visual intelligence. Surely, surely, surely the cinema should be that phenomenon. Peter Greenaway

The Declaration of Independence is that sacred American text so full of meaning and purpose and yet quite empty if you examine it and pull it apart because the words ‘All Men’ exclude a vast number of citizens. Colson Whitehead

My English text is chaste, and all licentious passages are left in the decent obscurity of a learned language. Edward Gibbon

When I’m working, I’m so narrowly focused on sound, language, rhythm, flow, that I rarely feel the emotion of the text. It’s only after – long after – I’ve finished a piece that I can experience in any way its emotional charge. Taiye Selasi

While learning to code may have once been an arduous or expensive process, the college dropouts who developed Codecademy have democratized coding as surely as Gutenberg democratized text. Anyone can go to Codecademy and start learning and creating code through their simple, fun, interactive window, for free. Douglas Rushkoff

A Christmas Carol’ is one of a few literary works that can be cited as a common cultural reference point, so its a text people imagine theyve read without having done so. Michael Rosen

People live too much of their lives on email or the Internet or text messages these days. We’re losing all of our communication skills. Tracy Morgan

The poem is a form of texting… it’s the original text. It’s a perfecting of a feeling in language – it’s a way of saying more with less, just as texting is. Carol Ann Duffy

Visual storytelling combines the narrative text of a story with creative elements to augment and enhance the traditional storytelling process. By design, it is a co-creative process resulting in an intimate, interpretive, expressive technique. Debbie Millman

If you are lucky enough to have a parent or two alive on this planet, call them. Don’t text; don’t e-mail. Call them on the phone. J. K. Simmons

Falling in love in high school and falling out of love – it’s very digital. I’ve had breakups where they’ve called me to tell me we were done, and I’ve gotten a lot of text messages from an old girlfriend letting me know how she felt about me after we had ended everything. Khalid

By augmenting the pages in the upload process with educational text regarding the type of content that can be uploaded to YouTube, we have seen a sharp overall reduction with users uploading copyrighted materials. Steve Chen

I write by hand and then transfer the text onto the computer. I like the process of actually having a pen in my hand. Things flow more easily for me that way. Philip Kerr

The power of a handwritten letter is greater than ever. It’s personal and deliberate and means more than an e-mail or text ever will. It has a unique scent. It requires deciphering. But, most important, it’s flawed. Ashton Kutcher

Just in a professional world, sometimes a phone call is definitely more meaningful than a text. Kevin Harvick

I think multimodal kinds of models are pretty interesting – like can you combine text with imagery or audio or video in interesting ways? Jeff Dean

A wiretap allows government agents to collect, listen to, read, rifle through and store emails, snail mail, phone calls, text messages, photographs, bank records – you name it. Sharyl Attkisson

The way we’re attached to our phones these days, they buzz and twitch in our pockets, and we have to look and see if it was a text, a voicemail, or an e-mail. We’re almost like lab rats. I tried to eschew the whole cell phone theory until I had kids; then, I had to be reachable at all times. Eddie Vedder

The manners thing’s got worse. People think they can just text you if they’ve got bad news for you. It’s not on. And as for people taking pictures at gigs on their phones, that’s just weird. Mark E. Smith

I’m hopeless by e-mail, by phone, by text. Rachel Maddow

I wasn’t brought up with any religion at all. At school and in my early 20s, I read every religious text I could get my hands on – Buddhist scriptures, Hindu texts, the Qur’an, and the Bible. I wanted to feel like something made sense to me, that there was something sacred I could feel aligned with. Jennifer Connelly

Usually in theater, the visual repeats the verbal. The visual dwindles into decoration. But I think with my eyes. For me, the visual is not an afterthought, not an illustration of the text. If it says the same thing as the words, why look? The visual must be so compelling that a deaf man would sit though the performance fascinated. Robert Wilson

‘Ulysses’ is the greatest anti-racist text in the English language, and it challenges right from the beginning the vicious racism which lies near the foundations of the Irish Free State and of the Irish republic. Tom Paulin

It is important to learn to understand in a historical text, a text from the past, the living Word of God, that is, to enter into prayer and thus read Sacred Scripture as a conversation with God. Pope Benedict XVI

What secret knowledge, one must wonder, is breathed into lawyers when they become Justices of this Court that enables them to discern that a practice which the text of the Constitution does not clearly proscribe, and which our people have regarded as constitutional for 200 years, is in fact unconstitutional? Antonin Scalia

When you make as many speeches and you talk as much as I do and you get away from the text, it’s always a possibility to get a few words tangled here and there. Dan Quayle

Tone can be as important as text. Ed Koch

I’ve scrubbed many, many landmarks. I scrubbed the Kremlin back in ’98. We had a mandatory-toothbrushing parade; we had the text of the mandatory-toothbrush law translated into Russian. And we had like 30 Russians; we had musicians; we had the giant toothbrushes. The police came and told us to stop, and we stopped. Vermin Supreme

The text loses its virginity simply by being staged: it’s no longer the abstract ideal version; it’s an event. Tom Stoppard

I get real brave when I text people. When I text people, I am so brave because it’s words, but you can’t say stuff. Leslie Jones

We had seen God in His splendors, heard the text that Nature renders. We had reached the naked soul of man. Ernest Shackleton

Years and years ago, I did a game based on ‘Hitchhiker’s Guide’ with a company called Infocom, which was a great company. They were doing witty, intelligent, literate games based on text. Douglas Adams

Those who read the Scriptures and judge for themselves, not resting satisfied with the perverted application of the text, do not find the distinction that theology and ecclesiastical authorities have made in the condition of the sexes. Lucretia Mott

We all have an obligation as actors to be true to ourselves and our best instincts, but often there’s a higher purpose, which is to serve the text and, in the grander sense, serve the series, even if that means to fall on your sword and take the hit. Peter Scolari

Communications is the biggest driver of frequency of use of anything. Think about how many times a day you check your email on your phone or text someone or message someone. Marissa Mayer

The idea of a poem as a message in a bottle means that it’s sent out towards some future reader, and the reader who opens that bottle becomes the addressee of the literary text. Edward Hirsch

Remember daydreams? No, of course you don’t. How could you? Three new text messages have just arrived, and another three, in a moment, will go out. Walter Kirn

I want flowers; I don’t want to text. What does that make me? What kind of dinosaur am I? Jennifer Garner

Governmental surveillance is not about the government collecting the information you’re sharing publicly and willingly; it’s about collecting the information you don’t think you’re sharing at all, such as the online searches you do on search engines… or private emails or text messages… or the location of your mobile phone at any time. Mikko Hypponen

I think each film should be regarded as its own specific text. Bong Joon-ho

Then one day I thought it would be wonderful to make a whole book, to make my text and my drawings together, and that’s how I started doing children’s books. Dick Bruna

The Gospel of Judas really has been a surprise in many ways. For one thing, there’s no other text that suggests that Judas Iscariot was an intimate, trusted disciple, one to whom Jesus revealed the secrets of the kingdom, and that conversely, the other disciples were misunderstanding what he meant by the gospel. Elaine Pagels

Originalism says that when you consult the text, you give it the meaning it had when it was adopted, not some later modern meaning. Antonin Scalia

In the statement accompanying the text of Lahore Conspiracy Case Ordinance, the Viceroy had stated that the accused in this case were trying to bring both law and justice into contempt. The situation afforded us an opportunity to show to the public whether we were trying to bring law into contempt or whether others were doing so. Bhagat Singh

I myself am sometimes fed up with Hatta’s policies. Hatta and I sometimes bug each other, but omitting Hatta from the Proclamation Text… that is the action of a coward! Sukarno

Teenagers talk about the idea of having each other’s ‘full attention.’ They grew up in a culture of distraction. They remember their parents were on cell phones when they were pushed on swings as toddlers. Now, their parents text at the dinner table and don’t look up from their BlackBerry when they come for end-of-school day pickup. Sherry Turkle

When I did plays in high school and college, I never remember memorizing my lines, but once I had blocking, I had all my lines memorized. Once I had movement associated with words, it was fine. Before I had blocking, it was just text on a page. Once it became embodied, it was much easier. Greta Gerwig

I met India Arie, who is one of my favorite artists of all time. It was really sweet; I was broken up with a month before, and she stayed up texting me all night and was helping me through it. Her text message looks like a song of hers. She’s sort of become my fairy godmother. Ariana Grande

People have entire relationships via text message now, but I am not partial to texting. I need context, nuance and the warmth and tone that can only come from a human voice. Danielle Steel

I like, for instance, ‘Serpico.’ I enjoyed playing Serpico because Frank Serpico was there. He existed. He was a real life person and I could – I could embody him. I could, you know, I could work and get to know him and have him help me with the text, the script and become him. It’s almost like a painter having a model to become. Al Pacino

Acting is just a process of relaxation, actually. Knowing the text so well and trusting that the instinct and the subconscious mind, whatever you want to call it, is going to take over. Anthony Hopkins

I remember going to a son’s friend’s bar mitzvah, and the text that he chose to explicate was right at the beginning of Genesis. It was not about a fall from grace or a fall from perfection; it was about an awakening into consciousness, which is what it means to be human. Claire Messud

Unlike then, the mail stream of today has diminished by such things as e-mails and faxes and cell phones and text messages, largely electronic means of communication that replace mail. John M. McHugh

I certainly learned how to break down a text at Princeton, which helps me break down a script – or at least that’s the line I feed my parents when they start wondering where all that good money went. Wentworth Miller

My inspiration is endless; I can’t define it. It is a constant flow and evolution. In general, I’m taking it from everywhere. People get nervous when they walk with me, as I’ll see something and suddenly have to text it to myself. Raf Simons

What our eyes behold may well be the text of life but one’s meditations on the text and the disclosures of these meditations are no less a part of the structure of reality. Wallace Stevens

I go back and research, say, every reference to the Gorgons, and I find what the classical writers said about them and it’s so much richer than you might get in an average Greek mythology text. I feel like an archaeologist – I’m dusting off these things that people have not seen for thousands of years and bringing them into the modern world. Rick Riordan

What I don’t find compelling is doing classical plays that everyone already knows – and people are following with the text in their hand because no one is listening. Joseph Fiennes

In the 1980s, in the communist Eastern Germany, if you owned a typewriter, you had to register it with the government. You had to register a sample sheet of text out of the typewriter. And this was done so the government could track where text was coming from. Mikko Hypponen

I think there’s a worry that an excessive use or an almost exclusive use of text and emails means that as a society we’re losing some of the ability to build interpersonal communication that’s necessary for living together and building a community. Vincent Nichols

Telling stories with visuals is an ancient art. We’ve been drawing pictures on cave walls for centuries. It’s like what they say about the perfect picture book. The art and the text stand alone, but together, they create something even better. Kids who need to can grab onto those graphic elements and find their way into the story. Deborah Wiles

I like to talk to people. I’ve got one assistant, one Blackberry. That’s my overhead. I don’t text that much or email. I like to sit down face-to-face and have a conversation with you. I’m old-fashioned. Mark Wahlberg

Your morning sets up the success of your day. So many people wake up and immediately check text messages, emails, and social media. I use my first hour awake for my morning routine of breakfast and meditation to prepare myself. Caroline Ghosn

The occasion of this sadness is expressed in a word, but must be considered in many more, as being the principal concernment both of the Text and Time. John Pearson

I want to do all kinds of things. I want to do some comedy. I’d love to do a romantic comedy, and I’d love to do some period pieces with classical text. I’d love somebody to cast me as Macbeth, but for a film. I just want to be all over the place. Kevin Alejandro

My only piece of advice is that all of you consider every single text and Snapchat that you ever make as also being shared with your partner, because they all check your phones all the time – trust me on this one. A. A. Gill

My husband doesn’t text… It’s always phone calls. I like that because you hear the voice the old-fashioned way. Melania Trump

I don’t mind if somebody texts me but I’m not a big texter, the things are too small. I don’t mind if they text, ‘7 o’clock,’ that’s fine, that’s logistics but, ‘What’s up?’ Get real! Pick up a phone! Penny Marshall
