I studied communications, only because I could get my own show on the campus radio station. I never thought of it as a career. Music was always a really passionate hobby - it was like collecting DVDs or stamps.
In the hip-hop community, it's about how real are you, or how strong can you be, and really my music just reflects me. If you can accept me, then you can accept my music.
It's easy for me to care about Toronto, because Toronto is a community that cares about itself. It represents the world. It talks to itself, and because it does, it figures out that there must be a music garden as part of its existence.
For 30 years, which I never talked about in Hollywood, I actually worked with doctors lecturing and doing some medical intuitive counseling both in a medical setting and for the community at large.
How did we suddenly become entranced with gangster culture? I saw it this morning on campus. When did the black community say we should all look like criminals?
Every day I've got to get up and make a decision. I have an opportunity every day to affect young men and the coaches that are around me, the entire organization and the entire community.
When I first started talking about gay marriage, most people in the gay community looked at me as if I was insane or possibly a fascist reactionary.
I think there are a whole host of things that are civil rights, and then there are other things - such as traditional marriage - that, I think, express a community's concern and regard for a particular institution.
My childhood was influenced by the roles my father played in his movies. Whether Abraham Lincoln or Tom Joad in the 'Grapes of Wrath,' his characters communicated certain values which I try to carry with me to this day.
Malibu Police Chief: Keep your ugly fuckin' goldbrickin' ass out of my beach community.
What's really exciting for me is communicating to other people and not just going somewhere to make a movie. That's Hollywood to me and it would mean nothing.
My view is different. Public relations are a key component of any operation in this day of instant communications and rightly inquisitive citizens.
Photography, as a powerful medium of expression and communications, offers an infinite variety of perception, interpretation and execution.
Electronic communications networks match trades between investors directly, without using a market maker or specialist as an intermediary.
Recipe writers hate to write about heat. They despise it. Because there aren't proper words for communicating what should be done with it.
Rock helps me communicate directly with the people because rock doesn't lie, and people are fed up with lying politicians.
Very often, I recognize many, many defects, so I try to improve myself every day. I think my voice is very communicative.
Reading is a source of liberation. Children who are taught to read early on, are commonly taught to communicate in other significant verbal and nonverbal ways.
A library outranks any other one thing a community can do to benefit its people. It is a never failing spring in the desert.
The military community in particular, I think, could always be more supported, especially people who are being processed out of the military and trying to readjust to being civilians.
If people grow things themselves, their children understand, then schools in the area know that this community's generating something with its own energy, to consume.
