And new people come in, and it doesn't go along with their politics, and they fire me, end the column, silence a voice in Los Angeles. They can't silence it nationally, but they are able to do it there.
In the laws of the land, she has no rights; in government she has no voice. And in spite of another principle recognized in this Republic, namely, that 'taxation without representation is tyranny,' she is taxed without being represented.
When I write stuff and I help cast it, I turn away good people all the time. I may turn them down because this one's too tall and that one doesn't have a high enough voice or this one looks to old to match up with that one - there's a billion reasons not to hire somebody.

I'll never run for office. But I intend, either on the fiscal commission or on issues like immigration, to hopefully have my voice be heard.
We have no faith in ourselves. I have never met a woman who, deep down in her core, really believes she has great legs. And if she suspects that she might have great legs, then she's convinced that she has a shrill voice and no neck.
Americans are xenophobic, they will believe their own people rather than the adversary, even a friendly enemy voice.
You learn to rely on a few basic movements and use your voice to the greatest extent possible to convey your emotions. So there was a technical challenge there and a responsibility to create a character from behind the mask.
You have to listen to what resonates within your own gut. You find your direction there. Your voice comes out.
I don't want to be a didactic voice. I like to ask more questions than I answer, just to get people thinking and to make it safe to access art.
The writer in western civilization has become not a voice of his tribe, but of his individuality. This is a very narrow-minded situation.
I guess NBC must have noticed that one of my main staples is social media. So, when they approached me for 'The Voice,' I thought, 'Why not be the first one to do it?'
I'm sure any vocal teacher that listens to me would rather cut my throat than do anything - I do everything all wrong - but I think for me that's the best - because I don't think I have a voice so I think what I project would be style - if I learned to sing I'd lose my style.
I'd love to be a voice in 'Toy Story 4.'
Poetry had far better imply things than preach them directly... in the open pulpit her voice grows hoarse and fails.
In terms of social media, I try to have my voice heard loudly in the cacophony of other influences whether from television and the Internet or social media... I want my voice to be heard in terms of the standards and values that I try to pass on to my kids.
The only tyrant I accept in this world is the still voice within.
You are born an artist or you are not. And you stay an artist, dear, even if your voice is less of a fireworks. The artist is always there.

I don't even think my voice is really good.

I work on my voice through what I have to sing.
While most of the music I write is instrumental, I love to use the human voice as another instrument.
Character is character and voice is voice, which translates nicely from writing novels to writing TV. But the process is different. You have a writer's room, people pitch you jokes and you collaborate.
The sweetest of all sounds is that of the voice of the woman we love.
I have received hostile voice mail messages and e-mails. They are often anonymous, I'm sad to say, as anonymous messages are delivered only by very low forms of human life, in my opinion.

I got more used to my own voice, but still it's hard for me to listen to my own voice, or hear the recordings.
I've sung my whole life. I've taken lots of voice lessons and I love to sing. But I've never really sung professionally at all.
I support health care reform in this country, but the current bills we have before us are too big, too costly, and the people who send me to Washington to be their voice are opposed to them and this process.
