When you play the same character for a long time, you have a shorthand. You get onto the set, you put on your outfit and two-thirds of your work is done because you’ve built on that work for so many years.

Lisa Edelstein

With my husband, I do really appreciate the fact that we – even though we’re different kinds of Asian, there is a cultural shorthand between us, and I don’t have to explain anything. I’ve dated guys before who weren’t Asian-American, and it frustrated me when I would have to defend why beans belong in a dessert.

Ali Wong

Being on a successful television show is a good thing. It’s steady work. It’s a chance to work with a group of people in an intimate way… where you develop a sort of shorthand with each other, and a trust.

Kelly Rowan

Growing up in a family of actors, what’s great about it is that they’re very supportive and they understand what it’s like to be an actor – the rejections, the highs and lows… and having a common language with them is great because you have shorthand speech.

Chris Pine

The Bush administration opened several lines of attack against the rule of law and the integrity of an independent Justice Department. The scandals are so famous that they’ve been reduced to shorthand: Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo, NSA, Attorneygate.

Ari Melber

Putin is sometimes described as a revanchist, seeking to recreate the Soviet Union. That is a useful shorthand, but it is not really accurate.

Robert Zubrin

To me ‘The Big Easy’ is shorthand for owning big stocks that are easy for wary investors to buy into. These stocks tend to outperform during the back half of bull markets.

Kenneth Fisher

We all accept the visual shorthand used throughout comics: if something‘s farther away, it’ll be drawn with a thinner, simpler line, eventually leaving out most visual information and becoming a gesture, a skeletal representation of a thing.

Nate Powell

In point of fact, ‘Simpson-Bowles’ has become a symbol, or SimBowl, rather than an actual plan, political shorthand for the process of long-term deficit reduction.

Joe Klein

To me, using music is creating a shorthand with an audience. And I love music so much.

Jonathan Levine

I’m really interested in making a mark on a paper and letting that be cursive shorthand for an idea – that’s the origin of cartooning.

Craig Thompson

You meet folks who are funny and really smart and persistent and loving that are confronting this thing we call poverty, which is just a shorthand for this way of life that holds you underwater. And you just wonder what our country would be if we allowed these people to flourish and reach their full potential.

Matthew Desmond

Music is the shorthand of emotion.

Leo Tolstoy

I would say that there’s definitely some advantages with me being able to talk shop with some of the effects people. Because I come from a post-production world, I can speak shorthand with them. I don’t think many other actors can say that and know how the process 100% works.

Masi Oka

The religious imagery and fairytales that formed our shared cultural references have been replaced by the cult of celebrity. Marilyn is the sex goddess, Camilla Parker Bowles is cast as the wicked witch, Che Guevara is the revolutionary. Celebrities have become visual shorthand for narratives that shape our lives.

Alison Jackson

I find I like to work with a lot of the same actors, because I find that there’s sort of shorthand there, and there is this unspoken trust, both ways. They trust me and I trust them. And I know what I’m going to get from them, to an extent. It’s just fun, kind of creating this little family.

Todd Phillips

When you work with somebody for a long period of time, you develop a shorthand with everything.

Beck

Genre is a really great shorthand you can have with an audience. In the same way you can use music to create a connection with an audience, it brings so much of their knowledge of what genre really is to the table. You have a shortcut to connect with them. I really like that.

Jonathan Levine

For storytellers, financiers make ideal rogues. The easiest way to make characters unappealing is to make them rich – shorthand for spoiled, picky, superior, and cold-hearted.

Lionel Shriver

You learn what can become a good joke and can be repeatable. You have a shorthand about how to introduce a joke to someone.

Lennon Parham

Irvine, being a planned community, is really good shorthand, especially in a movie or book, for understanding suburban pressures.

Andrea Seigel

I wrote my first screenplay on a lark, because it was a storytelling format that felt like a familiar shorthand – we all watch movies, don’t we? But even though I grew up in Los Angeles, my family was entirely unconnected with the movie industry, and I never truly believed that it would one day be my fate.

Lisa Lutz

I think titles are extremely important for novels: They can set the tone, tip you off, serve as shorthand for what the essential contents are.

Elizabeth Berg

There’s shorthand that happens when you work with someone you know where you can almost finish each other’s sentences. There’s just a certain back and forth that becomes much easier with someone you’ve worked with for so long.

Joe Lo Truglio

If anything is scary about my writing, it’s that it’s the product of a very particular vision and doesn’t reference common speech that heavily. By ‘common speech,’ I don’t mean language as much as an agreed-on way of seeing, or a shorthand.
