When I'm home on a break I lock myself in my room and play guitar. After two or three hours I start getting into this total meditation. It's a feeling few people experience and that's usually when I come up with weird stuff. It just flows. I can't force myself. I don't sit down and say I've got to practice.

I think it's easy for people to assume that fame is equal to glory but it can be a very isolating experience.

I don't want people to sit there and objectively watch the film. I want them to experience it as something that's under their skin so you try to make the films really tactile.

I've told people who have just started to make a film that the one thing you might experience is this feeling that everybody is conspiring against you because you're not necessarily able to tell what's real and what's not.

I know there are people who don't like their audience or like the experience of being recognized or celebrated but my audience has been very good - they don't bother me and when they do contact me it's usually on the nicest possible terms.

Though 'Fire and Rain' is very personal for other people it resonates as a sort of commonly held experience... And that's what happens with me. I write things for personal reasons and then in some cases it... can be a shared experience.

I have relationships with people I'm working with based on our combined interest. It doesn't make the relationship any less sincere but it does give it a focus that may not last beyond the experience.

All of the legal defense funds out there they're looking for people out there with court of appeals experience because court of appeals is where policy is made. And I know I know this is on tape and I should never say that because we don't make law I know. I know.

I want people to think of me as a nice person. I really am so blessed. All of this has been a great experience and I thank the American public so much for putting me in this position. I appreciate every second of it.

Advertising is the edge of what people know how to do and of human experience and it explains the latest ways progress has changed us to ourselves.

Love is blind. My politics has been too. I think you can fall in love with ideas and you can fall in love with people. It's a very subjective experience. And I'm loyal to that experience.

There are people hell-bent on the idea that we're a Christian band in disguise and that we have some secret message. We have no spiritual affiliation with this music. It's simply about life experience.

If we're picking people to draw out of their own conscience and experience a 'new' Constitution we should not look principally for good lawyers. We should look to people who agree with us. When we are in that mode you realize we have rendered the Constitution useless.

And we're seeing a higher level of consciousness and many more opportunities for people to challenge their present ways of thinking and move into a grander and larger experience of who they really are.

I had a lot of experience with people smarter than I am.

Everybody's entitled to think whatever they want and to express that but my personal day-to-day experience does not come into contact with any of those people.

I can't control what people think. I'm not trying to manipulate people's thoughts or sentiments. I write all the time. You have to experience life make observations and ask questions. It's machine-like how things are run now in hip-hop and my ambitions are different.

The things I was allowed to experience the people I was able to call friends teammates mentors coaches and opponents the travel all of it are far more than anything I ever thought possible in my lifetime.

I think how pay gets determined is pretty broad - experience how people look what they bring to the job. But there's no question women are paid less. Women don't ask.

A great many people experience the movement from one century to the next but a minuscule number of people experience the movement from one millennium to the next.

Being an actor means asking people to look at you. I guess I accept that. But it's a profession in which the job is to show another world and other people. You may access it through bits of yourself and your imagination and experience but actually in the end you're not playing yourself.

I hate it when people don't recognize the work of women as being universal or having any import to the world at large as opposed to men's work which is generally tends to be seen as more universal - men's writing about their own experience tends to be put in a broader context.

More people should read books. It's the most concentrated experience you can have.

For some young people their first experience ever hearing punk rock music was playing the Green Bay Packers on 'Madden'.
