So there was something of a learning curve with doing your own thing and people seeing you outside of the band. I mean people have never really heard my voice before - or heard a whole record of mine before. So it was a completely new experience.

I grew up listening to Jay-Z and I think the first time I really became obsessed with learning and thinking about lyrics was when I started listening to rap I was 11 12 and started becoming aware of music beyond the familiar.

It's hard to be perfect It really is. I keep learning things after I've already bungled it.

As an audience member those studio films are fun. I like an adventure tale and I also like to go see something that has more of a social pulse. I like to keep learning and trying new things. And if the scripts are good it doesn't really matter.

That is what I'm looking forward to the most practical learning. I want to be a registered nurse so getting to talk to people who already work in those jobs can really teach me what to expect when I get out in the real world.

My biggest project right now is trying to be a really great mom and learning how to balance family and career. I'm just trying to spend as much time with my family as I can.

I'm an obsessive hiker and I do it every day for two hours and it really helps me when it comes to learning songs or scripts.

I'm really enjoying the process of learning to fly. How it will fit into my life down the road - I'm looking forward to discovering that.

Now for this book I had to learn the world of the Senate which is really for all that's written about the Senate an unknowing world and its mores and the way things work with subcommittees and all. I loved learning about that.

Learning how to improvise really awakened my interest in music.

The only animals I'm not comfortable with are parrots but I'm learning as I go. I'm getting better and better at 'em. I really am.

I feel like I'm still learning a lot. I think there's a tendency for people who are just doing their first couple of films that I see now where they seem to be really resentful of the technical limitations that come along with filmmaking.

I've always loved music but I never really played anything. After 'Walk the Line' and learning to play guitar and having that sense of performing I think that certainly opened the door for me for music.

No Child Left Behind's fourth-grade gains aren't learning gains they're testing gains. That's why they don't last. The law is a distraction from things that really count.

It's really difficult for me. Language I am sorry that I haven't. I think I just always expected that you learn a word in place of a word and when I discovered how difficult the grammar was and learning that was very discouraging for me.

The role of the musician is to go from concept to full execution. Put another way it's to go from understanding the content of something to really learning how to communicate it and make sure it's well-received and lives in somebody else.

In terms of doing work and in terms of learning and evolving as a person you just grow more when you get more people's perspectives... I really try and live the mission of the company and... keep everything else in my life extremely simple.

I got problems. I freak out go to a shrink go through all kinds of therapy and stuff but I'm learning how to deal with it. That's why I've chosen one hour a night to get all of my aggressions out. to really tell the world the way I feel.

Human beings are accustomed to think of intellect as the power of having and controlling ideas and of ability to learn as synonymous with ability to have ideas. But learning by having ideas is really one of the rare and isolated events in nature.

I started practicing yoga. I started learning some hands-on healing stuff. And I found really good chiropractors really good massage therapists and what I found is I've been able to actually peel off layers of trauma on my body and actually move better now than I did.

I'd like to be more patient! I just want everything now. I've tried to meditate but it's really hard for me to stay still. I'd like to try to force myself to do it because everybody says how wonderful meditation is for you but I can't shut my mind up. So patience and learning is the key.

Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.

House Republican leadership have refused to allow a clean minimum wage vote. Close to 15 million Americans will be affected if we did this. Do Republicans really expect a family to live on less than $11 000 a year?

The fact is five months ago this was an issue that people weren't really talking that much about. Because of the president's leadership because he's brought it to people's attention it's now a top issue.
