One of the common failings among honorable people is a failure to appreciate how thoroughly dishonorable some other people can be and how dangerous it is to trust them.

I feel responsible that everyone has a really wonderful experience and to do the best work possible and to always know my lines and to always be on time and to bring a level to the show in terms of quality that other people will follow.

Acting is not a mystery. There's nothing that I know that other actors don't know. We all act we're all actors we all know the same thing. The only thing that separates us is experience.

The most important training though is to experience life as a writer questioning everything inventing multiple explanations for everything. If you do that all the other things will come if you don't there's no hope for you.

I loved making Pure Country. It was a great learning experience for me seeing another part of the entertainment industry.

On the one hand we'll never experience childbirth. On the other hand we can open all our own jars.

Now having had this experience I can't say really what they were looking for. I don't know their minds. But every time I see a reality show it seems that the most entertaining parts on other reality shows are when they make their guests look foolish.

I've always loved the experience of working together with other people toward an artistic goal.

Certainly I've had the experience of thinking a person was one thing and finding out they were another.

I don't think people should have boundaries put on them by themselves or society or another gender because it's our birthright to experience life in whatever way we feel best suits us.

Although we have in theory abolished human slavery recognized women's rights and stopped child labor we continue to enslave other species who if we simply pay attention show quite clearly that they experience parental love pain and the desire for freedom just as we do.

By presenting a faithful and honest record of my experience as a mother I hope to show both my readers and my children how truth can redeem even what you fear might be the gravest of sins.

I feel that between my experience and my mother's breast cancer is a little bit like someone who lives next door. I know what that person looks like and what their daily habits are.

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.

I feel that the Christian experience and the Jewish one have much to give each other. If this open society continues and there is no return to political anti-Semitism then this encounter deeper than any theology may happen.

I eventually became proud of my strikeouts because each one represented another learning experience.

I think the most interesting parts of human experience might be the sparks that come from that sort of chipping flint of cultures rubbing against each other. And living on the border between Mexico and the U.S. for so many years gave me a lot of insight into that.

It was a very profound experience getting in touch with that part of us in all of us human beings that is committed beyond yourself to the point of giving everything you have including your life for other people for your fellow man.

I decided blacks should not have to experience the difficulties I had faced so I decided to open a flying school and teach other black women to fly.

I believe that being an actress or being involved in a movie has to be a life experience otherwise why go for it? I have to change me and I have to learn things and I have to push me and my limits. By acting I find a freedom inside of a prison in a way.

Other people do not have to change for us to experience peace of mind.

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.

Just as we accumulate memories of facts by integrating them into a network we accumulate life experiences by integrating them into a web of other chronological memories. The denser the web the denser the experience of time.

My worst hair experience was when I was trying to relax my hair and my grandmother did it. It went all straight and I looked like a black Bee Gee.
