There is an isolated experience to being a director. It's very communal because there's a crew, but it's only you. You're the one on the hook.
I'd always read omnivorously and often thought much literary fiction is read by young men and women in their 20s as substitutes for experience.
My entire youth was spent with an incredibly ill parent... I don't think you can grow up that way and not be marked by that experience.
I don't think that experience is a very useful or convincing attribute for a sensible foreign policy. Henry Kissinger had a lot of experience.
I have trouble reading modern Hebrew. In the 1950s, I could read anything. I don't know how much experience you've had with contemporary Hebrew. It's quite difficult.
From my experience of shooting 'Tudors' on the island of Ireland, you cannot predict the weather.
Being seduced by a man on crutches was an interesting experience.
I screen tested for 'The Tudors' in N.Y. That was my first experience of N.Y., being flown here to screen test with Jonathan Rhys Meyers. So I have very, very fond memories of New York - New York helped give me my first big break.

Women have nine months more experience than you do - nine months to prepare for being a parent.
I believe that every role that I have done this far has had quality and content. My roles have been very demanding and every role has been a challenge and a learning experience that has helped me mature as an actress.
When you experience a failure as a leader, don't hide it - talk about it. Your missed opportunity will encourage others to take risks.
Teaching children about entrepreneurship is much like imparting any other skill or piece of knowledge. You will provide them with ways to experience how entrepreneurship works, and you guide them toward the subjects or areas they seem to show an inte...
I'm in the mood for another Moonstruck experience, for another romantic comedy.
I received a grant from The Ford Foundation to write a book for kids about urban perception, or how people experience cities, but I kept putting off writing it. Instead I started to write what became The Phantom Tollbooth.
