Two packed houses. I guess the theater sat 2 700 people every night so it was an amazing experience.

For me I don't expect to have a really amazing meal each time I dine out. Having a good meal with your loved ones - that's what makes the experience.

I have experienced some amazing food! Yet when I think about the most luxurious and exquisite meals I have had visions of simple food made from a few natural ingredients are what most excite me.

I had an amazing experience working with great people. I had a great family a typical family with drama in certain areas and that's pretty much everywhere in everyone's life.

So you know parenting is a very intimate and amazing experience and one of the best experiences of my life.

Being on 'Glee' was amazing. I remember my first day on set my first day I arrived to the set I was in my trailer and all of the actors came and banged on my door - Lea Michele Chris Colfer Amber Riley Naya Rivera. They all welcomed me with open arms so it was a great experience. It felt like family and I miss them a lot over there.

After I finished high school I went to Hong Kong and Thailand and spent some time there. Just to get that whole experience of being out of the bubble that I was in from high school in Vancouver to be able to travel around and be on your own was an amazing experience.

When you're a stay-at-home mother you have to pretend it's really boring but it's not. It's enriching and fulfilling and an amazing experience. And then when you're a working mother you have to pretend that you feel guilty all day long.

Everything has combined to make my life in New York an amazing experience. I told my manager a few years ago that I wanted to move here and try acting in the theater.

Theatre when it is at its best takes a lot of beating - the live experience and the shared collective experience of live storytelling is really special when it is good. Particularly here in New York because the audiences are amazing very vocal and very engaged and that makes theatre very exciting.

And I thought when I have kids that's the sort of well told silly and fun fairy tale that I would want to take them to. But it was an amazing experience. And I think Shrek is a real classic a fairy tale classic.

A lot of people fear death because they think that so overwhelming an experience has to be painful but I've seen quite a few deaths and with one exception I've never known anyone to undergo anything like agony. That's amazing when you think about it. I mean how complicated the mechanism is that's being taken apart.

I remember when I took Quentin Tarantino with me to a very private screening of the documentary 'Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired ' which shows some of the legal irregularities of his case. I was involved by the film and it was an amazing experience to see people weep at the end of it.

If you're writing you're starting in private. It can really be this amazing private freeing experience. Forget that it's for other people - that comes in later.

I'd like to share my experiences and the lessons I've learned and hopefully create some amazing fun courses.

I didn't need clothes. I was allowed the opportunity to act out moments you don't get the opportunity to experience in your own life let alone as a character in a film. I didn't feel naked.

There's a sense of aliveness that comes from connection shared experience. And you see it in every place. You see it when ball players jump up and down gather at home plate hugging and it's not just because they're winning it's that shared moment that feeling of - we enter the world alone we leave alone.

If there's ever an example that military power alone cannot be successful in Afghanistan I think it was the Soviet experience.

I have always been very obsessed with time. Time's passage makes us all very vulnerable and because we all experience it in our own way it can make us feel very alone.

It may however be said that the level of experience to which concepts are inapplicable cannot yield any knowledge of a universal character for concepts alone are capable of being socialized.

Your experiences will be yours alone. But truth and best friendship will rarely if ever disappoint you.

Throughout my whole life as a performer I've never played with a band. I've always played alone so I was never required to stay in rhythm or anything. So it was a real different experience for me to start playing with a band. There were so many basic things for me to learn.

Recommend virtue to your children it alone not money can make them happy. I speak from experience.

It's an interesting combination: Having a great fear of being alone and having a desperate need for solitude and the solitary experience. That's always been a tug of war for me.
