Wendy Williams Quotes

If you want to be a good conversationalist, be a good listener. To be interesting, be interested.

When a friend speaks to me, whatever he says is interesting.

Good listeners have a huge advantage. For one, when they engage in conversation, they make people 'feel' heard. They 'feel' that someone really understands their wants, needs and desires. And for good reason; a good listener does care to understand.

You've got to be an observer. And you've got to take time to listen to people, talk, to watch what they do.

The best thing I could say is you do have to be a really good listener. If I go to a family reunion, and there's 400 people there, everybody comes up and tells me their stories, right?

When I'm doing a one-on-one with somebody, I have to speak in a language that that person can understand, using a vocabulary that they instantly get, and I always have to feel my way around to figure that out. It's a lot of fun, and it's also really challenging - challenging in a different way from performing.

Listening to people keeps them entertained.

I suppose I don't hear things, but I listen, if you know what I mean. And there is a big difference between hearing and listening. So it's like a conversation, you know. When you speak to someone, it's one on one, and that's exactly how I play.

We need to learn to observe and listen to people more to get to know them.

I used to not listen that much, but I've really learnt to listen to other people and to really listen to what they're saying. I've found, especially being on a film set, people have so many different stories; if you just listen, you can pick up so much stuff. I try to listen as much as I can.

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

I can be a good listener. I can ask the right questions a lot of the time.

I think, to be a great conversationalist, you need to be interested in being in said conversation. Oddly enough, I think you need to be a great listener, and I do think I'm a good listener.

I like learning more about people; I like to talk to people.

Women love to talk, so you gotta be the guy that listens - not just listens but is interested.
