Great art - or good art - is when you look at it experience it and it stays in your mind. I don't think conceptual art and traditional art are all that different.

Do I ever think Gossip will be really massive in America? No I don't think it'll happen - and that's fine. It's kind of nice because I get to experience everything at once. I get to come home and it not be weird like in Paris or something. It is nice to be completely anonymous.

Religion points to that area of human experience where in one way or another man comes upon mystery as a summons to pilgrimage.

Well my background is journalism. I don't have any creative-writing experience except for one class I took as a sophomore in college.

I think newspapers shouldn't try to compete directly with the Web and should do what they can do better which may be long-form journalism and using photos and art and making connections with large-form graphics and really enhancing the tactile experience of paper.

The essence of a role-playing game is that it is a group cooperative experience.

Yes all my songs come from personal experience and relationships.

When I was 27 years old I organized legal aid clinics to help low-income seniors. It was a life-altering experience.

I started thinking about joy. Everything in our society is so purposeful. Let's bring joy back to the experience.

There's no experience like on-the-job training.

It's always good to get a smaller tournament under your belt so that by the time you get to the Slams you have a lot of experience.

I learn from experience.

Writing a story or a novel is one way of discovering sequence in experience of stumbling upon cause and effect in the happenings of a writer's own life.

If you search and search and stop searching then ultimately you'll find what you need. It is the experience of living.

As an actress it's part of your job to be able to imagine just about anything - even if it's not within your personal experience.

I was quite able at the insignificant work I did in MI6 but absolutely dysfunctional in my domestic life. I had no experience of fatherhood. I had no example of marital bliss or the family unit.

In fact the experience at Oxford has really helped me later in life.

If one area I felt it was a tough election was I couldn't see my young son and I couldn't see my wife a lot but apart from that for her also it was an experience.

I think being a parent is the most challenging thing you do. That's why we're here. It's at the heart of what it is to be a human being. It's the ultimate experience because it questions everything about who you are. But it's difficult.

I find increasingly that the more extreme are the things going on in your life the more cultural reference points fail you. More mythical reference points actually help and you realise that's what myths are for. It's for human beings to process their experience in extremis.

If you're out there stressing on your pro day then you're not going to perform well so I plan on having a little fun. Play a little music while we're out there throwing the football have everybody tapping their toes and bobbing their head and just go out there and make the most of the experience.

Stories have always been the things that entertain me and make me feel happy and sad and move me and give me the experience of being able to live many lives in one lifetime. It's the best thing about being alive.

For me titles are either a natural two-second experience or stressful enough to give you an ulcer. If they don't pop out perfect on the first try they can be really hard to repair. Or worse if the author thinks they pop out perfect but the publishing house does not agree it's difficult to shift gears. And then? Then you go insane.

I wouldn't say I'm a very original thinker but if I have a good experience with something I'll want to take it further or adapt it in some way.
