I think it's really really important to mix it up as an actor to try to get as much kind of varied experience as you can not only for your own personal growth as an actor but for the audience to keep them guessing about what you're going to do.

Yes all my songs come from personal experience and relationships.

As an actress it's part of your job to be able to imagine just about anything - even if it's not within your personal experience.

Though 'Fire and Rain' is very personal for other people it resonates as a sort of commonly held experience... And that's what happens with me. I write things for personal reasons and then in some cases it... can be a shared experience.

No matter how close to personal experience a story might be inevitably you are going to get to a part that isn't yours and actually whether it happened or not becomes irrelevant. It is all about choosing the right words.

I want people to think of me as a nice person. I really am so blessed. All of this has been a great experience and I thank the American public so much for putting me in this position. I appreciate every second of it.

I think everyone's experience with a terminal disease is so deeply personal and unique to the person the context in which they're living and the relationships that they have.

The experience and behavior that gets labeled schizophrenic is a special strategy that a person invents in order to live in an unlivable situation.

If you've got a piece and you can feel the person who's going to direct it is really made for it if it's really special for them then it's going to be a better-than-usual experience.

I do write a lot from personal experience but I also embellish a bit.

Everybody's entitled to think whatever they want and to express that but my personal day-to-day experience does not come into contact with any of those people.

The problem was to sustain at any cost the feeling you had in the theater that you were watching a real person yes but an intense condensation of his experience not simply a realistic series of episodes.

I'd like to believe an accumulation of experience has made me a sort of a grown-up person so I can have judgment and taste and whatever.

I have a theory that the best ads come from personal experience. Some of the good ones I have done have really come out of the real experience of my life and somehow this has come over as true and valid and persuasive.

I am the the type to have a personal experience with a celebrity but I'm too classy to bring that up.

I'm not trying to be romantic. I think you can tell when people are trying to be sexy onstage. When I was doing 'All the Way ' I was really thinking about my wife. People don't know my personal experience but they can tell it's an honest interpretation.

When a child comes in I believe that it's a 'multipersonhood ' and it knows it its consciousness knows it and it has a nuclei in the center of its consciousness that is the repository of all experience and all knowledge. And when you look in the eyes of your baby and you feel this sense that they are an old soul I believe indeed they are.
