Not only did I get to play with these great international musicians but I also had the opportunity to jam with the local celebrities in Toronto people like the Walsh Brothers David Wilcox Kim Mitchell and the like. It was a great learning experience.
It wasn't until I went to college that I met the theatre people and began to admire them because they were learning a trade that was guaranteed to make money!
Working with David Gordon Green and Jonah Hill and Michael Cera and Drew Barrymore and all of those people - those are the best people in comedy to work with. Anna Faris. You know that's my goal to keep learning and to just keep working with the best people I can. And yeah we do all hang out and we all kind of know each other.
Maybe our young people are not as vacuous as we would like to lead ourselves to believe - that all they're interested in is hairdos and looking at other beautiful people. Maybe they're interested in learning something.
I know it may seem surprising to people but learning dialog that has a conversational flow to it is not that difficult.
Oprah was not somebody who was telling us what to do she wasn't really teaching us like so many people we see today. With Oprah she was learning and we were learning with her. And I think that's really was the seed that was planted for all of us to just hang in there with her.
I'd think learning to play the guitar would be very confusing for sighted people.
I'm learning a lot how to be good at what I do and also how lucky I am and take it all in and be grateful for all this late in life success I've been having and it's good to have people that have been around and successful for awhile and work with them and see how they behave and it's why they are who they are and why they're still successful.
People trust I know what I'm doing. I have lots of credibility. I've had years of learning. I know and understand my business.
We do a lot of shows for young people who have probably never been to the theater before and they are learning about the Holocaust which unhappily many of them do not know about.
Our libraries are valuable centers of education learning and enrichment for people of all ages. In recent years libraries have taken on an increasingly important role. today's libraries are about much more than books.
I was fairly solitary. I didn't like structured learning. People didn't seem to be my cup of tea.
All those years we'd spent learning these chops and all those gigs in Germany where you'd play all night and along comes punk. It has nothing to do with that. A lot of people went out of business.
People always ask me if I could live in any other era what would it be and I tell them none! I feel so lucky to live in an age where technology has changed and continues to change and make life so much more exciting. It keeps everyone young and constantly learning new things.
Particularly for English people Shakespeare is always at the forefront of both drama and the English language. He's always been there. I can't remember starting school and not learning about him.
I think people should look at learning about Native American history the same as visiting Washington D.C. and seeing the monuments there. It's all part of the package.
I looked at longevity in show business when I was about 13 and the people who seemed to have longevity were the ones who'd spent quite a bit of time learning about what they were doing before they made it.
Most sailing ships take what they call trainees who pay to be part of the crew. The Picton Castle takes people who are absolutely raw recruits. But you can't just ride along. You're learning to steer the ship navigation you're pulling lines keeping a lookout in the galley you're cooking.
I am still learning every day not to watch other people's careers and compare.
Some people are so busy learning the tricks of the trade that they never learn the trade.
I'm most interested in working and learning from different people and telling good stories.
It's interesting to do other people's music - that's how I learned to play by learning other people's songs. It's nice to delve into how other people got to where they are.
I spend so much time with the brightest and most talented and well-rounded people. I've had the privilege of having long and very intellectual conversations with people and sometimes I just sit there and listen. It's like a better version of a class. Even though I'm not sitting at a desk and in school I'm still learning all the time.
You go on these Internet blogs and people say the meanest things. I'm a normal person. Just because I'm in the spotlight doesn't mean I'm God's gift to the world. I'm learning and making mistakes just like every other 17-year-old girl out there.
