If there is one thing I have learnt, it’s that you have to be honest.
My English is improving because I learnt it in one year at Leicester, before it was just in school and on holiday, but I have to learn more, I don’t understand it all.
I think people took a while to accept me for who I am, and I’ve learnt to articulate myself better when on camera.
I learnt that if we won, it didn’t matter that I hadn’t played. I had to keep working.
I found myself doing all these action-adventure movies, and it’s been a fantastic experience, and I’ve learnt a lot.
I feel enough distance from the person I used to be. I’m not ashamed about my life anymore, because I’ve learnt from it.
It’s bloody annoying being shy. I’ll spend a whole evening at a party asking everyone else about themselves. I’m not being self-deprecating; it’s because I’m too shy to talk about myself. So people come away from the evening actually having learnt nothing about me.
When I was on a major label I felt obliged to say yes to every interview, tour and whatever else. The label is always telling you, ‘This ain’t going to last,’ so I worked myself half to death. I learnt from that and I like to pace myself now.
We learnt a lot from county cricket – even if we did not earn stacks of money from it.
In football, you can’t always have it your own way. You can’t always have the good times. You are going to have bad spells and periods when you are not playing well. It is something I have to deal with. I have learnt to deal with it.
I have been doing comedy for the last 15 years but I don’t have any qualms admitting that I have learnt a lot from Kapil Sharma. I respect his talent and have not seen a performer like him in my career.
I don’t know if I’ve become a better actor or a more sensitive one. But I’ve learnt what not to do.
I learnt acting in Delhi from Barry John, who also taught Shah Rukh Khan.
I studied in Kerala, so learnt to read and write Malayalam.
I’ve learnt more physics from Kabbalah than I ever did in school.
I have learnt that life is full of ups and downs. And even though I’ve had rough times, I can’t complain.
People are starting to see that now and I’ve learnt more from those 10 rounds than I have in my previous 10 fights.
I can’t afford to step away from acting, but the one thing I’ve learnt after all these years is that I don’t fit in. It’s very difficult to be at the mercy of other people’s whims and visions.
You bring your strength to the game – that’s what I’ve learnt, and that’s what I try to bring to England.
Practice makes an actor excel. It is like cycling and motor driving. It is an art, which can be learnt and practised.
I learnt basic cookery by watching my mum.
In the past, when we toured countries like Australia or South Africa, we struggled, but we also got to learn a lot, and we learnt to cope with pressure.
I’m a total technophobe. What is wrong with paper and pen? I was delighted when I learnt the word ‘Luddite,’ as I thought it described me perfectly.
I think the most important is when I was young, I learnt martial arts; that is my special key.
I started driving when I was really young, at the age of 15-16. It just came naturally to me because I learnt it on my own by observing others. Of course, I was never allowed to drive until I was 18, but I would park my parents’ car at every given opportunity.
It’s going to be hard to ever have a horse to replace Valegro. He is a professor. I think he read the dressage book and learnt it all before he ever did it.
The food wasn’t very good in the first kitchen I ever worked in. But it was very busy, so I learnt to be fast, absorb pressure, use a knife, and say, ‘Yes, chef.’
During my engineering days, I learnt to value diversity, not to take shortcuts in life.
Every game means something, the supporters are fantastic, and since I’ve come to Palace, I’ve learnt to fight as a team and for the three points.
From the beginning, I’ve had to juggle and weigh the silly things people say – and I’ve learnt that they’re meaningless, and they’re mostly inaccurate. So I don’t worry about it, because there’s nothin’ for me to deal with.
I interviewed around 20 women boxers and all of them told me they learnt boxing to get a job. At one point, I asked one boxer if she had the passion for sports. She told me ‘put some food in my belly and I’ll talk about passion.’
I was lucky to work with some of the big names such as Anu Malik, Himesh Reshammiya, Sajid Wajid, Salim Sulaiman, Mithoon, Jeet Ganguli and Pritam. I have learnt a lot from all of them and have practically grown as an artist with every song that I have rendered.
I only know acting. But had I learnt singing earlier, I would have become a singer.
I’ve learnt a lot over the years, but I’m still quite outspoken. And no matter how much media training you put me through, I don’t think I could be anything but.
As an actor, I have learnt and understood a lot about Kavya since I heard the role for the first time and I feel there’s so much to take in and grasp every day.
Rocknroll is a selfish business because youre always thinking about the tour, the show, promotion and writing new albums. Your head is somewhere else, but Ive learnt to not let it be all-consuming. You want time with your family.
Initially, I was into dance and learnt Bharatnatyam for eight years. I appeared on various TV shows.
There were so many occasions when I wasn’t around for my kids or my husband. But we learnt to work around it.
I started officially learning music when I was 14. I learnt Hindustani classical.
I’ve learnt a lot about Dad from going around the world and listening to other people. Whether I’ve been in Australia, the Caribbean, Leeds, Scarborough or London there’s always someone who’s got a story about him.
Later in life, I learnt that in order to deal with people, one has to be gentle and give them respect. That always works.
If there’s one thing I’ve learnt, it’s that I don’t think a man ever looks better than when he’s in a suit. So I’m wearing them increasingly, not in my personal life, but in my professional life, and I’m really enjoying it.
Being part of the national Test set-up is an experience I enjoyed. I learnt by watching the players prepare for matches.
I’ve learnt how to develop routines. To play with each bit. To enjoy expanding on it. To get used to the stage being mine.
Sadly, I’ve learnt that prejudice still exists in parts of the entertainment industry – I did an interview with a magazine once, and the journalist quite openly said they wouldn’t put a black person on the front cover because the magazine wouldn’t sell.
Exactly the same with dancing, you can’t dance until you’ve learnt steps, the things your feet can do.
Suffering is a corrective to point out a lesson which by other means we have failed to grasp, and never can it be eradicated until that lesson is learnt.
Oh! Most miserable wretch that I am! Why have I not learnt how to swim?
I’ve learnt so much over time and with the experience that I’ve gained. You can’t please everyone.
I started playing with my dad, and football was my dream forever. Step by step, I learnt a lot. I worked really hard, and finally when I was eighteen, I signed my first professional contract.
I’ve never been a frustrated person because I learnt at a very young age that the frustration I had inside of me had to do with creativity and the ability to transform that into action. I realized very early my restlessness had to be channelled into things I could do.
I’ve learnt over the years to always be thinking of titles and ideas that I try to put across with just a couple of words. It’s the difficult part when you’re writing things that are basically abstract.
I know a lot of people who support football teams don’t care about fashion. For them, it can be quite weird to see someone looking very different. But I’ve learnt not to read the comments.
The Tamil audience has accepted me and given me a place to establish myself. I’m not taking things for granted… I’ve learnt the language.
My feeling is that writing is, for me, a pathological condition. That could sound like a mystical experience, and it may be a mystical experience, but I have learnt just to go with it.
We’re not friends – in fact, we pretty much as a rule irritate each other. But we’ve learnt to embrace it and use it as a strength… the other guy’s always seeing something from the opposite pole.
I have learnt to become patient as an actor.
I have learnt a lot from my past experience.
It was an unbelievable experience! The brakes, the g-forces and the power of the engine are beyond description. Thanks to BMW and WilliamsF1 for giving me this chance to test. The test team looked after me brilliantly and I learnt plenty.
I learnt a thing or two about acting from theatre actor Robin Das who is from Odisha.
So I think the biggest thing that I’ve learnt in my career is not allowing external factors to determine my self-worth – external factors being what coaches think of me, the amount of playing time I get – not allowing those things that actually are out of my control affect how I feel about myself.
When I was 21, I left college and set up business Swanky Modes with three friends in Camden, North London. We were four women who did not know much about business, so we learnt as we went along.
