I've studied all my musical life but learning is only good if you do something constructive with it.

Maybe our young people are not as vacuous as we would like to lead ourselves to believe - that all they're interested in is hairdos and looking at other beautiful people. Maybe they're interested in learning something.

I enjoy the element of pushing yourself learning something new whether it's a dance step a scene an emotion.

My one thing is I continue to be interested and want to be a student. I don't want to be a master. When I'm learning something I'm in my element.

I'm learning something all the time. That's the way I want it to go and that's the way I'll go until I am no longer on this planet.

I love the work I love being in front of the camera and working with actors and directors and creating something. For me it's like learning everyday.

As you get older you're always maturing you're always learning something new about yourself.

If it doesn't feel like a job and I'm learning something and getting that rush that I get I don't care if it's behind a camera on a TV set or on the moon.

I hope I'm always learning something.

Learning something new is fun.

Hopefully with each thing that you do you're learning something you're growing and you're pushing yourself a little harder in some way or another. So I think you'd be in real trouble if each new thing that you create didn't feel like 'Oh wow. I feel like I'm doing something a little different this time.'

The world is the true classroom. The most rewarding and important type of learning is through experience seeing something with our own eyes.

But by taking the time away getting myself off the treadmill and just slowing down and learning I felt I had so much more to give back. And maybe that was something that needed to happen for all of us.

In every character I play I try to imbibe something. Every film is a learning process for me.

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 think I've spent so much time playing characters that are so far away from me and learning how to technically build and how to technically put something on top of you.

I wanted to get to that aesthetic proposition that comes out of learning the human elements of a world so that those notes and rhythms mean something to you besides just the academic way in which they fall in place.
