I like to listen. I have learned a great deal from listening carefully. Most people never listen.

People in my family and camp who grew up listening to rap music love 'We Are Young.' I've heard it play at weddings. I've heard it in graduation parties. It's a big idea and big song.

If the government fails to listen to your demands then you will decide what is best for you.

We are all representatives of the American people. We all do town hall meetings. We all talk to our constituents. And I've got to tell you the American people are engaged. And if you think they want a government takeover of health care I would respectfully submit you're not listening to them.

And it is easy to believe you are not good enough if you listen to everybody else.

Listen there's a hell of a good universe next door: let's go.

A good listener is usually thinking about something else.

Children have never been very good at listening to their elders but they have never failed to imitate them.

I don't know if high society is different in other cities but in Hollywood important people can't stand to be invited someplace that isn't full of other important people. They don't mind a few unfamous people being present because they make good listeners.

Since God knows our future our personalities and our capacity to listen He isn't ever going to say more to us than we can deal with at the moment.

I remember listening to the radio as a kid and finding that the songs always made me feel more peaceful. Funny but the more hurtin' the music was the better it made me feel. I think of that now when I write my songs. I may not be feelin' the blues myself but I'm writing them for other people who have a hard life.

I listen like mad to any conversation taking place next to me just trying to hear why this is funny. Women's restrooms are especially great. I wash my hands twice waiting for people to come in and start talking.
