A good listener is not someone with nothing to say. A good listener is a good talker with a sore throat.

Know how to listen, and you will profit even from those who talk badly.

Rule number one is, make sure that you face the person with hearing loss when you are speaking to them.

Try to be as good a listener as you are a speaker. Don't just put the emphasis on saying things. Listen.

One has to grow up with good talk in order to form the habit of it.

When people talk, listen completely. Most people never listen.

My mother was a listener. I'm a talker. I'm very comfortable talking.

If you listen, you'll learn. If you talk over each other, you don't accomplish anything.

In order to practice dialogue, you need to be able to set aside your assumptions and try to listen more than you want to talk. It's not always politically correct to be able to do that, but it can give you a better sense of the reality.

The key to acting has much more to do with listening than with talking.
