I view the experiences that I have had – both the tough ones and the pleasant ones – as gifts.
If we did end tomorrow, I would be so stoked and proud of everything I’ve done and how I lived my life. I feel like I’ve had enough experiences for multiple lives.
Each year has been so robust with problems and successes and learning experiences and human experienes that a year is a lifetime at Apple. So this has been ten lifetimes.
But what does interest me is the notion that if you do a lot of work it means there’s a potential for other people to understand that a lot of things are possible with a sustained effort and that the broadening of experiences is possible and I think that’s all art can be.
I have had UFO experiences, and yet, at the same time, I can easily be convinced that none of it is true. It’s hard to say whether or not you’re a believer. I’ve been interested in that subject matter, like lots of people. Perhaps foolishly, I’ve allowed some of that stuff to creep into my music.
My father’s life was so decimated by his earliest experiences. His mother died when he was 7 years old, which he always said was the worst experience in his life. When he was 8, his father disappeared and he was on his own from the age of 8.
I’ve been fortunate. I’ve worked in a lot of things where I had those kinds of experiences with actors who were perceived as very macho guys, everybody from Lee Marvin to Charlie Bronson to Harrison Ford to Robert Shaw.
I have such incredible experiences in my life.
The main thing that I learned from my horrible job experiences was how horrible they were.
I’d like to share my experiences and the lessons I’ve learned and hopefully create some amazing, fun courses.
As a novelist, where do you go to tap into memories, and impressions, and sensations? It’s usually, in my experience, your early life, before you started thinking of yourself as a writer, because somehow those experiences are unadulterated.
The work gets more difficult as you get older. You learn more and you gather more experiences, there is deeper pain and higher highs.
Advertisers and marketers should be looking to bring new experiences to different parts of the brain. It’s a more profound idea than just dropping a billboard into a video game.
Given a little time for the pain to subside, dreadful experiences often can be the basis of funny jokes or stories.
I think a major act of leadership right now, call it a radical act, is to create the places and processes so people can actually learn together, using our experiences.
Your experiences will be yours alone. But truth and best friendship will rarely if ever disappoint you.
When I am not working, I go to the movies, text my friends, my thumbs are faster than lightening on that keyboard!, write songs, sing, dance, Facebook, Twitter and spend time with my besties. I am also a songwriter and I love to write about my life experiences.
My journey through life has led me through both light and dark places, and it’s because of those experiences that I have learned how to work through my character defects and to help others do the same.
I seek to be authentic and engaging, using my own experiences, being as vulnerable as I ask my clients to be, to enhance the process.
Since I have difficulty defining merit and what merit alone means – and in any context, whether it’s judicial or otherwise – I accept that different experiences in and of itself, bring merit to the system.
There can be dramas in your life and you can get over them and become someone. You don’t have to wallow in self-pity; you can actually use the experiences in your life to push yourself further and help others.
The notes I have made are not a diary in the ordinary sense, but partly lengthy records of my spiritual experiences, and partly poems in prose.
Roblox is all about inspiring and empowering people to learn, create and explore new ideas – that goes for both the experiences on our platform as well as for our employees.
Do you know how many women in a survey reported experiences of sexual harassment on the job? Eighty percent. It is so common. It’s normalized. And it’s an abuse of power.
I want my movies to be audience experiences. As much as I like Michael Haneke, I’m not going to make a Haneke film. That’s just not in my DNA.
Any human being is this wonderful conglomeration of experiences and behaviors, if you like – some of them healthy, some of them not so healthy.
Scientific studies about relationships fascinate me, and I devour them hungrily, especially when they give big, fancy-sounding names to everyday experiences.
I have gotten some of the most beautiful experiences that a person can possibly ask for so I’m not at all complaining.
My first album is a lot of my personal experiences. I wanted people to relate to what I’ve been through.
‘Mary Poppins’ was one of the best experiences of my life.
I am an ordinary person who has been blessed with extraordinary opportunities and experiences. Today is one of those experiences.
I joined the Marines the week I turned 17, and that led to a few experiences that might qualify as adventure – eye of the beholder.
Naturally, I mine my girlfriends’ lives for good anecdotes and stories – so many of their experiences find their way into my books.
I’ve been involved in politics for quite some time. I’ve held positions, and my experiences are very deep, and I think I have the capacity, the courage, and the character to institute the kinds of reforms that are so desperately needed.
I’ve had experiences where I wasn’t allowed to change words around at all because you have to say everything, exactly as written on the page. That’s not fun for me. For me, part of being an actor is being able to contribute to a character’s rhythms. If there’s room to explore, you find a happy medium.
I’ve always been fascinated by young women who come to New York. The characters in ‘Lipstick Jungle’ were once young women who came to New York and we see their early experiences through flashbacks.
I store away my experiences and don’t feel really happy until I’ve found a way to write about them.
Everyone experiences different parts of themselves at different times, these different parts of themselves that come out in different settings.
Its not age as much as the experiences I have had.
Biases and blind spots exist in big data as much as they do in individual perceptions and experiences. Yet there is a problematic belief that bigger data is always better data and that correlation is as good as causation.
I want to write about my experiences since ‘Speedbumps.’
Early experiences convinced me that animals can and do have quite distinct personalities.
Everyone has their own different life experiences which make them who they are. No two people’s life experiences are the same. And mine are just unique to me.
The songs are inspired by my experiences. Sometimes they are more than my real-life and, conversely, my life is more than just my songs.
I’m inspired by many different things. Often, I’m inspired by experiences I’ve had, books I’ve read, people I’ve met, stories I’ve heard.
You never know what you’re getting into like some of the best experiences I’ve ever had have been movies that literally had a million dollar budget and everybody’s eating Cheetos all day and running around without permits and trying not to get caught.
Music has always been a great solace for me. It’s still something that gives me far more joy than movies, I must say. I love movies, too. But somehow, music can transport you. There are so many different kinds of experiences you can have with music.
I’d done a lot of research in Hollywood and in academia. I love research and so I wanted to kind of ground the book in history, in things that I read that were universal and timeless and then kind of let my own experiences sort of filter through all of this history.
A declining institution often experiences survival of the unfittest.
There are almost as many definitions of co-dependency as there are experiences that represent it.
I’ve always been fascinated by Elizabeth Taylor, and I had read that her first kiss happened on a film set, which actually made me a little sad. You need to have normal experiences of your own.
The pressure on women to be thin is like a plague. I have gone through my life, like a lot of women, rating my experiences on the basis of, ‘Was I thin at that time or fat?’ And it doesn’t seem to let up.
I don’t personally look to my own life experiences for answers about how to play a scene.
Life is going to be complex, and the only way we’re able navigate our way through it at all is by living as best we can and absorbing those experiences and somehow making intuitive responses in future situations that resemble them in some way.
You as an audience can look at these things as films, but I remember them as social experiences.
My dad’s gay experiences really had a very positive influence on me and my straight relationships – how to better accept all the weirdness and ambiguity and ups and downs and paradoxes. I knew from the beginning I was writing about love.
If we could sell our experiences for what they cost us, we’d all be millionaires.
I’ve had great experiences or joyful experiences making a movie that people found very disturbing.
