When you're a soul singer I'm singing a lot of songs about love and relationships that I think a lot of girls really relate to. For whatever reason that seems to get 'em excited. The DJ everyone always says the DJ gets all the chicks but that's never been my experience.

One of the things in the back of my mind is that after my sports experience I never want to be totally consumed by any one endeavor other than my family life.

Reading the play at home however fulfilling can never be the vivacious experience that Shakespeare intended.

You can never regret anything you do in life. You kind of have to learn the lesson from whatever the experience is and take it with you on your journey forward.

Whenever something happens that makes me laugh or if I remember something in the middle of the night that I want to share I jot the experience down.

My father respected and admired my mother and was a person who was always standing by my side encouraging me to do more and believed in my capacity. So in that sense my own experience was very good in becoming an empowered woman. From early on I carried that strong message: 'You can do it.' So I never had any doubt that women can do a lot.

I hate these platforms that are all over the place today they are all about grabbing attention. They are suburban! I never do a platform. Well I did in the 1970s but that was a bad experience.

Actually music gave me the support when I needed it. I would never have gone to college unless I'd gotten a piano scholarship. And now I'm so glad I got to learn to play the cello which is a different experience you're flexing a different muscle but it's beautiful because it is music.

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 really do love Diana Ross I grew up listening to her records. I grew up in a little town in Mexico so while we got the music we never got the experience of watching her.

In my books I never portray violence as a reasonable solution to a problem. If the lead characters in the story are driven to it it's at the extreme end of their experience.

At every step the child should be allowed to meet the real experience of life the thorns should never be plucked from his roses.

I have never found in a long experience of politics that criticism is ever inhibited by ignorance.

I prefer to think of the audience as a single living organism with which I am sharing a singular never-to-be-repeated experience.

You may never learn the names of any of the people you talk to in a dog park even after many many hours spent there with them and many hours of conversation. But if - knock on wood - anything should ever happen to your dog these nameless non-strangers will rally sympathize offer to help and hold your hand. I know this from experience.

I've learned through experience that life is never that bad. The secret is just paying attention to how you feel and not letting anyone else dictate what in your heart you know is right.

Never for the sake of peace and quiet deny your own experience or convictions.

In our society daily experience teaches the individual to want and need a never-ending supply of new toys and drugs.

Parents of recovered children and I've met hundreds all share the same experience of doubters and deniers telling us our child must have never even had autism or that the recovery was simply nature's course. We all know better and frankly we're too busy helping other parents to really care.

The trouble with learning from experience is that you never graduate.

I never intended for the Monster Ball to be a religious experience it just became one.

My friends whoever has had experience of evils knows how whenever a flood of ills comes upon mortals a man fears everything but whenever a divine force cheers on our voyage then we believe that the same fate will always blow fair.

There is no more lively sensation than that of pain its impressions are certain and dependable they never deceive as may those of the pleasure women perpetually feign and almost never experience.

That peace which is within us we must experience it. And if we are searching for peace outside we will never find the peace within.
