The first martial art my son learnt aged around ten was jiu-jitsu so he can already wrestle. I’d have no concerns about Christopher boxing someone from MMA.
I think I’ve learnt that there is no character so strange that you haven’t shared their experience in some small way.
There is a lot to be learnt, and I am always dissatisfied. I am happy but not content.
My mother had an incredibly strong accent – although I couldn’t hear it – and she was the main person there, so I’ll have learnt to speak English from her.

The biggest thing I’ve learnt is not to limit myself by the norm or what I should be doing.
It is quite hard to be a working mother. At the same time, it is hugely rewarding. I have learnt to appreciate working mothers everywhere because millions of women are doing that, including my maid.
What’s helped me is my childhood, my tough upbringing. I learnt a lot from that; it helps with any problems I might encounter.
I’ve learnt to separate the woman who was my mother from the person who was a movie star. The star has survived, my mother didn’t.
I learnt how to make candles when I was a kid. My mom used to make them. Then, when I broke my leg once and couldn’t really move around, I started playing around with it… putting the scent inside and dried flowers, and that’s it.
I’ve learnt to adapt on the pitch and, when I think back, also in front of goal.
From my dad I learnt that it is very important to stay calm.
I’ve learnt to accept what has happened to my voice, I suppose, but I do wish it didn’t sound quite so rough.
One thing I’ve learnt is not to have a bucket list.
They say that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger and I’ve learnt a great deal, but you can never predict the future, so the best thing is just to do whatever you’re asked to do to the best of your ability.
Life experiences cannot be learnt on the film set or in front of the camera.
I have learnt so much and I feel mentally strong. At the same time, there is so much competition at present and I feel that I have to deliver at least one hit every year.

I have matured as a player and learnt to perform under different situations.
You know, he’s a bit of a rock star, but I think he’s consciously learnt how to make people feel comfortable around him. Because otherwise, how could anyone act opposite him? The whole time you’d be thinking, ‘My god, it’s Johnny Depp!’

It’s hard to please everyone, and I learnt quite early that that’s never going to happen.

As I learnt Bharatanatya, I found myself participating in school and college competitions.

I was doing it the amateur way, doing everything myself till ‘Naalaya Iyakunar.’ They said, ‘You need crew members’; they insisted on having proper production values. So I learnt a lot about making films for that show.
When I came to Spain, I joined a tennis academy, and that was where I learnt the game.
I didn’t want to be looked at. I remember when I was six or seven asking my mom why people were looking at me. She said, ‘They’re looking at you because you’re a beautiful little girl.’ But I didn’t believe her. And yet I put myself in a business where people have to look at you. I think I learnt to block it out.
I learnt a lot about myself, I learnt a lot about other people and the problems they have. If I was lucky enough to live to a hundred, how I will feel about two per cent of my life being that way, I don’t know.
From the age of 14 onwards it was really punk rock, The Clash particularly. I think I learnt more from them than I did at school, because that got me into fashion, politics.
I learnt everything to do with music in my own time.
I always liked performing. I learnt to sing, play the piano and dance. I was good at academics too but I was interested in extra-curricular activities. My parents encouraged me.
The custom of speaking to God Almighty as freely as with a slave – caring nothing whether the words are suitable or not, but simply saying the first thing that comes to mind from being learnt by rote by frequent repetition – cannot be called prayer: God grant that no Christian may address Him in this manner.
Romanticism is not just about being in a fixed state of endless beauty, because you can’t live like that or live on that, that’s what I’ve learnt.
I learned what it is to lead – and above all learnt that leadership is more about being strong on the inside than being loud on the outside.

I’ve learnt that, even though I’ve travelled about, I haven’t changed that much.
I loved being a part of ‘Celebrity MasterChef.’ The process was scary and I was so out of my comfort zone but I’ve learnt so much. Doing something I’d never done before put me in the position of the celebs on ‘Strictly’ and because of that experience, I think i’ll be a better teacher because of it.
I was raised well. My parents are from Nigeria; their culture is respectful. Very respectful. But I learnt that you have to be determined. It’s not violence or aggression. It’s sheer determination.

I learnt the hard way about positioning in business, about catering to the right segments.
