I studied jazz at home with my grandparents. They always had jazz dudes at the house, but I didn’t study formally. I just hung around a lot of musicians.
I studied structured improv, where you start from one position and see where it takes you. I like spontaneity. If you set yourself up to do the same thing every night, you may not connect as well to a different audience.
In fact, it used to be a joke if you studied at a University.
I studied German at school. I lived in Berlin for two years and had a German girlfriend for five years, so I don’t find speaking German particularly difficult. Singing was slightly more difficult.
For many years, I have sought and studied Agarikon, an unusual mushroom native to the old growth conifer forests of North America and Europe.
I’ve always been interested in the politics of war. War is one of those things that, the longer I studied it, the more illogical it seemed.
I studied law, I got an alright degree, and then I was going to go and do something called an LPC, which is a Legal Practice Course, which qualifies you as a lawyer. But I didn’t end up doing it, because I went to drama school instead.
In no culture ever studied have women repeatedly preferred to mate with pear-shaped, low-status, tepid men possessing high-pitched, nasal voices.
People presume that just because I am Shahid Kapoor’s brother, I must have studied in an international school, gone out on foreign vacations, and had a certain kind of upbringing. But the truth is quite different, and I am very proud of where I come from.
In my early days in school, I had no shoes, no school bags. There were days I had only one meal… I walked miles and crossed rivers to school every day. Didn’t have power, didn’t have generators, studied with lanterns, but I never despaired.
Then when I reached college I realized that many people had thought about the problem during the 18th and 19th centuries and so I studied those methods.
I studied directing prior to acting and I’ve done music videos and documentaries and things that were sort of well-received.
I’ve studied several guitar players and songwriters, mostly from Al di Meola to Dimebag Darrell, from Freddie Mercury of Queen to Kurt Cobain of Nirvana and Bradley Nowell of Sublime.
I’ve forgotten a lot of things. I’ve forgotten how to play the piano and how to speak Arabic, though I studied it for two years.
I studied history when I was at school, at A-level, actually. I wouldn’t profess to being very knowledgeable though, no.
I like to think that since I was about 19, I have studied human decision-making and problem-solving.
I came from a really musical family. I studied classical piano because my grandparents were piano teachers, but started doing musical theater at age nine in Fresno, California, and went to a performing arts high school. That was my life.
None of us takes amending the Constitution lightly. The plain fact is this amendment has been exhaustively studied and it really is time to act.
My grandmother had a Miss Margaret’s School of Dance to teach tap and ballet to kids, but I never studied it. I was raised a Mormon and they’re dancing fools. It’s the only vice they have – dancing.
Martial arts is something I studied since I was 6 years old.
I studied piano for many years, and I still play. I’m a complete amateur, and I wouldn’t consider myself very good at all, but I enjoy it.
I never studied business. It’s either in your DNA, or it isn’t.
You see, I’ve never really studied acting.
I don’t know the names of any pop musicians. Pop music is standardised; it’s made to please the largest audience possible. I also compose to please a large audience, but when you listen to my music, you understand that I have studied and applied the whole history of composition.
I studied classical opera, so I was always singing in Italian and German and French.
I’ve studied human psychology my whole life.
I feel like I studied anthropology in college for a reason.
I had a normal upbringing, studied in Chaitanya Vidyalaya till class VIII, went to Australia for two years, returned and did my Inter at Oakridge. I wasn’t inclined towards academics. I barely scraped through.
I studied law at Warwick University, then philosophy at Oxford. I met my wife Leah there. She is American, so I followed her to New York.
I studied poetry in college and for a year in an MFA program. As time went on, my poems got more and more complicated. What I was really trying to do was tell stories.
I studied voice for about two years with an amazing coach, and I never rose above the level of mediocre.
I studied cooking in Spain after college.
We need senators who have studied physics and representatives who understand ecology.
I’ve studied all my musical life, but learning is only good if you do something constructive with it.
I thought everybody had falsetto. And since I wasn’t a schooled singer who studied with anybody, I just thought anybody who had a voice could do anything they wanted with their voice.
I studied and performed and even taught mime years ago.
It was driving me crazy that I couldn’t remember something that I studied the night before. All it did was trigger my anxiety, and all of sudden everything would snowball on me.
I have studied many philosophers and many cats. The wisdom of cats is infinitely superior.
I studied English literature; I took 2 independent religion classes, but I wasn’t a religion major really.
When I first started, I would go to Weist-Barron, and I studied with Rita Litton and ACTeen. For teenagers, it’s a really, really great school. We did a lot of on-camera stuff, so you see yourself and what you do on camera.
The reality of the music industry is that I was a 22-year-old college graduate who was able to walk into boardrooms and be the one in charge. It’s incredibly empowering. I wasn’t ready – I definitely was not ready – but I was prepared as I possibly could have been because I had studied the music industry.
I studied to be an architect. And I find tremendous similarities between building a company and the design process. Businesses have to do their planning on the fly in a fashion similar to an architect sketching.
I studied international relations and economics at the University of Virginia. I paid my way by working as a bartender in the summer and at three part-time jobs during the year.
In particular, I studied German and Russian biomechanics.
I grew up in Jerusalem and went to school here. I studied at the Hebrew University – mostly Islam and Arabic: Arab literature, Arab poetry and culture, because I felt like we are living in this region, in the Middle East, and we are not alone: There are nations here whose culture is Arab.
I studied law at university and was sort of grooming myself to go into that kind of career. I filmed ‘The Wedge’ while studying, which was very difficult, but I’m proud I completed my degree.
I never studied anything about film technique in school. Eventually, I realized that cinema and theater are not so different: from the gut to the heart to the head of a character is the same journey for both.
I studied voice at Yale with Blake Stern from the music school, and he had me singing German lieder and Italian songs.
I was the kid who’d get up in class and tell the teacher, ‘But we were supposed to have a test today! I studied for it!’
I moved to New York to be a theater actor. It’s what I studied and what I thought I wanted to do forever, as you do when you’re 18 and think you know exactly what you want. I was lucky enough to start working right away.
I studied graphic design originally. I used to like drawing, and I was quite into technical drawing. I was always interested in the visual medium, but I thought I was going to be an architect or something like that, but it’s quite a lonely job.
I’ve studied classical singing, but not to a great extent.
I didn’t just want to be Frank’s daughter who sang Boots. I take my music very seriously and studied very hard. It’s not a joke to me.
I studied Shakespeare at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York City, and ‘Orange’ was my first audition ever for TV or film.
I studied a lot from bossa nova, and I used to listen to it a lot as a kid because my mum would play it. I even wanted to learn Portuguese in high school so I could sing in it.
It’s weird because every movie that I do is always a role that reminds me of a role that ‘Pac would have done. And when ‘Pac did ‘Juice,’ he was young – probably like 21, 22 – something like that. And that’s my favorite actor. I know it might be weird to say, but he was talented on screen, and that’s who I studied.
I studied business in the U.S. and later worked in Dubai.
If I hadn’t spent many years trying to be as compassionate as Mother Teresa, as positive a thinker as W. Clement Stone, as prolific a writer as Stephen King, and as good a speaker as many of the legends I have studied, I would not be as successful as I am today.
I studied economics. I studied industrial engineering. It wasn’t until later, when I was around 26, that I really decided to go to film school.
I grew up with another pretty darn good writer: Glenn Frey of the Eagles. We were very good friends, and we kind of studied it together.
