I have found little that is 'good' about human beings on the whole. In my experience most of them are trash no matter whether they publicly subscribe to this or that ethical doctrine or to none at all. That is something that you cannot say aloud or perhaps even think.

And so you touch this limit something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power your determination your instinct and the experience as well you can fly very high.

We learn from experience that men never learn anything from experience.

What each must seek in his life never was on land or sea. It is something out of his own unique potentiality for experience something that never has been and never could have been experienced by anyone else.

Fame will go by and so long I've had you fame. If it goes by I've always known it was fickle. So at least it's something I experience but that's not where I live.

Be brave. Take risks. Nothing can substitute experience.

Many people know so little about what is beyond their short range of experience. They look within themselves - and find nothing! Therefore they conclude that there is nothing outside themselves either.

The marvelous richness of human experience would lose something of rewarding joy if there were no limitations to overcome. The hilltop hour would not be half so wonderful if there were no dark valleys to traverse.

I believe that anyone can conquer fear by doing the things he fears to do provided he keeps doing them until he gets a record of successful experience behind him.

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.

Nothing which has entered into our experience is ever lost.

Everything is discursive opinion instead of direct experience.

The main thing experience has taught me is that one has to sort of hone their relationship to time you know.

There is nothing so easy to learn as experience and nothing so hard to apply.

Experience is the teacher of all things.

Nothing is a waste of time if you use the experience wisely.

Nothing ever becomes real till it is experienced.

Everything has been said before but since nobody listens we have to keep going back and beginning all over again.

Experience is one thing you can't get for nothing.

A man who carries a cat by the tail learns something he can learn in no other way.

Equality means nothing unless incorporated into the institutions.

There are a lot of things that fit on a bumper sticker in terms of either liberty or equality or progress that when made more concrete just don't pan out.

You got to fight for quality art and equality and all the things that we're fighting for the things we believe in. Choice and preference and all those things that we support. We don't want to give up that fight. You got to keep doing it.

As an actor you just want to work and then you just want to be on a show or have a job that you love and you hope that job will last - those things have happened. To have that platform to then talk about something that is very personal to me like marriage equality it feels like a gift. I try and really respect that voice and not abuse it.
