I really do love Diana Ross I grew up listening to her records. I grew up in a little town in Mexico so while we got the music we never got the experience of watching her.

Obviously an actor draws on his own experience.

Where you are in consciousness has everything to do with what you see in experience.

I remember when I was 33 or 34 it was devastating because I realized I wasn't a kid anymore. The great thing about 40 was that I really felt like I had life experience and knew what I was doing now.

Joy rather than happiness is the goal of life for joy is the emotion which accompanies our fulfilling our natures as human beings. It is based on the experience of one's identity as a being of worth and dignity.

I always thought that one of the reasons why a painter likes especially to have other painters look at his or her work is the shared experience of having pushed paint around.

Experience isn't interesting until it begins to repeat itself. In fact till it does that it hardly is experience.

Love is blind. My politics has been too. I think you can fall in love with ideas and you can fall in love with people. It's a very subjective experience. And I'm loyal to that experience.

There are people hell-bent on the idea that we're a Christian band in disguise and that we have some secret message. We have no spiritual affiliation with this music. It's simply about life experience.

Find what's hot find what's just opened and then look for the worst review of the week. There is so much to learn from watching a restaurant getting absolutely panned and having a bad experience. Go and see it for yourself.

You know young actors say all the time 'Should I use my own life experience?' And my response is 'What choice do you have?'

If we're picking people to draw out of their own conscience and experience a 'new' Constitution we should not look principally for good lawyers. We should look to people who agree with us. When we are in that mode you realize we have rendered the Constitution useless.

And we're seeing a higher level of consciousness and many more opportunities for people to challenge their present ways of thinking and move into a grander and larger experience of who they really are.
