In my experience, 'SNL' has Lorne Michaels, who is, you know, the captain of the ship and gives the show direction and a singular focus, whereas 'MadTV' - even in my 13 episodes there - had maybe one too many cooks and was a bit more chaotic creative...
There's that stigma about New Yorkers, how they're so mean, but in my experience it was quite the opposite. People were very genuine and very nice, even on the subway.
Making movies is a very different experience in a lot of ways. It's difficult when you're used to owning the copyright and having a landlord's possessory rights - I rent my plays to the companies that do them and, if I'm upset, I can pull the play. B...
Uber is efficiency with elegance on top. That's why I buy an iPhone instead of an average cell phone, why I go to a nice restaurant and pay a little bit more. It's for the experience.
I haven't written about an immigrant experience because I haven't experienced that before and am focused on existential themes.
I'm more interested in the meaning of funerals and the mourning that people do. It's not a retail experience. It's an existential one.
About 40 years ago I had an experience where I wrote a tract.
At 17, I signed a recording contract right out of high school, so I started touring and traveling the world. I sort of missed out on the college experience.

If you sit in a position where decisions that you take would have a serious effect on people, you can't ignore a lot of experience around the world which says this drug has these negative effects.
It's always an interesting experience for a politician to be heard in silence, I have to say.
I think it will be found that experience, the true source and foundation of all knowledge, invariably confirms its truth.
I never go back and listen to the recorded document. The thrill comes when the balance can be attained. Everyone in the room can have a shared, communal rock experience.
Everything starts and ends with the song, and working with writers and really learning their process and craft was an invaluable experience.
There are many tough sides to being a jockey. Injury is something we all dread, but spending lengthy periods in the bath or the sauna just to shed a few pounds can be an exhausting and draining experience.
Being a kid during the '80s, I feel I didn't really get the full experience.
I didn't really have the entire high school experience. I've been working since I was six years old, so I didn't go to the classic high school.
What I've come to believe is that psychological advice isn't worth much if it isn't rooted in personal experience.
The goal, I suppose, any fiction writer has, no matter what your subject, is to hit the human heart and the tear ducts and the nape of the neck and to make a person feel something about the characters are going through and to experience the moral par...
I see publishers bemoaning their fate and saying that this is the end of publishing. No! Publishers will recreate themselves. Some of that comes from my experience as a print publisher.
