I got the travel bug when I was quite young. My parents took me and my sisters out of school and we travelled all over Europe. It was an eye-opening experience and although I love Norway I also enjoy visiting new countries. I don't get homesick.

The more you travel the better you get at it. It sounds silly but with experience you learn how to pack the right way. I remember one of my first trips abroad travelling around Europe by rail fresh out of high school. I brought all these books with me and a paint set. I really had too much stuff so I've learnt to be more economical.

But today we become aware of other readings of the human experience very quickly because of the media and the speed with which people travel the planet.

I have gotten to travel the world and experience all these incredible things thanks to my career.

It's important to travel and move and have a continual set of experiences so you've got more to feed back into your work. For me it's a natural thing.

The trouble with travelling back later on is that you can never repeat the same experience.

Working on 'Gossip Girl' was a fantastic experience. It was my first real gig and I'm thankful for it - I got to learn a lot. I'm glad I got to explore getting comfortable in my own shoes in the background on a show like 'Gossip Girl.'

Adolescence is when girls experience social pressure to put aside their authentic selves and to display only a small portion of their gifts.

I'm committed to increasing long-term value for shareholders and am confident we will continue to do so through the successful execution of our core strategic priorities: the creation of high quality branded content and experiences the use of technology and creating growth in numerous and exciting international markets.

It's a 360-degree sound experience. Like you're in the middle of the band. A lot of people have the technology to play the format so why not put it out there. It sounds great.

Technology... the knack of so arranging the world that we don't have to experience it.

We can do it better more consistently and in the end it will cost us less because the students that we produce will be superior to those without technology experience.

I have run large organizations I know what it takes to create a healthy business climate and I have more experience than Jerry Brown doing that. So it'll be a stark contrast a career politician vs. someone who has met a payroll gotten a return on investment knows how to use technology to do more with less.

Advertisers are not thinking radically enough - they look for technology to lead instead of trying the neuroscience approach and thinking about what parts of the brain haven't been activated before. These new experiences bring new capabilities to the brain.

Technology is the knack of so arranging the world that we don't have to experience it.

Cyberspace. A consensual hallucination experienced daily by billions of legitimate operators in every nation by children being taught mathematical concepts.

In the case of my book I don't think it's really the coming-out gay novel that everyone really needed even though it was received as such. The boy is too creepy he betrays his teacher the only adult man with whom he's enjoyed a sexual experience etc.

The main thing I am interested in is my experience as a teacher.

I remember the mentoring experiences of some teachers that I had like a second term home room teacher in public school that really was very helpful to me.

I would take William H. Macy as a teacher any day of the week. He's incredible. He's got a lot of hard-earned experience.

Experience is a good teacher but she sends in terrific bills.

I belong to a nation which over the past centuries has experienced many hardships and reverses. The world reacted with silence or with mere sympathy when Polish frontiers were crossed by invading armies and the sovereign state had to succumb to brutal force.

I think that everything you do helps you to write if you're a writer. Adversity and success both contribute largely to making you what you are. If you don't experience either one of those you're being deprived of something.

My own early experiences in war led me to suspect the value of discipline even in that sphere where it is so often regarded as the first essential for success.
