I'm free to see things objectively because I don't consider myself American, and I don't consider myself British or Indian. I'm kind of an amalgam or mongrel of a lot of different places and experiences. In a lot of ways it's been a good thing for me. It's enabled me to do what I do on 'The Daily Show.'
'Deadwood' was one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had. I just loved that show.
Writing about joyful experiences for just three days can improve people's moods and decrease their visits to health centers a full three months later.
I think I learned a lot from a lot of experiences that I dealt with over my career.
My earliest memories are of the civil rights era. My earliest experiences were rage.
Through social, location, and mobile technologies (SoLoMo) we now have the ability to leverage our virtual communities into the physical world, to bring our online experiences offline.
Light field photography unleashes the power of the light, to forever change how everyone takes and experiences pictures.
There are always certain things that you tap into, your own personal experiences, and I try to base my characters on someone I know or someone I've seen.
The Gili Islands gave me some of my best scuba diving experiences, including tons of turtles.
Each country has its own way of communicating a narrative and, through that, expressing family experiences in emotional stories.
Whoever makes an attempt on a man's life, on a man's liberty, on a man's honour inspires us with a feeling of horror in every way analogous to that which the believer experiences when he sees his idol profaned.
Living life as normally as possible gives you a richer well of experiences to draw from.
I love working with directors who have good taste. It's incredible when a director can say something and things open up for you. I went to The University of North Carolina School of the Arts, and some of my best experiences on sets have been working with other alums.
You're not just this person who's from your own specific experiences, but the collective experience of what makes you who you are because of time.
I'm afraid that eating in restaurants reflects one's experiences with movies, art galleries, novels, music - that is, characterized by mild amusement but with an overall feeling of stupidity and shame. Better to cook for yourself.
All my songs come from me because I only seem able to write about myself and my experiences.
In writing fiction, I can be free. I can use my life. The raw material is my experiences.
Certainly we want to protect our children from new and painful experiences that are beyond their emotional comprehension and that intensify anxiety; and to a point we can prevent premature exposure to such experiences.
My mom did not have money. She was a single mom, on and off in periods between marriages. My husband, however, grew up on a wonderful farm in Tuscany, in Florence, and his family was so entertaining in terms of growing their own food and using the fruit of their land. We have very, very different experiences.
I have accumulated so many experiences, so much, that I want to be able to realize so many things. This is why I have basically given up most of my positions.
A lot of actors and actresses pull from past experiences.
The fact that biological, or 'natural' rules might help in the creation of a computer generated work of art is interesting, but even a wonderful work of art made in this fashion isn't the same as a person, with all his or her experiences and emotions involved, making art.
I learned to take those experiences that were difficult in my life and in the adversity that I had overcome to use it for a positive change.
I lived for two years in Odawara, a castle town an hour outside of Tokyo, near the sea. It's a beautiful place, and I drew on my experiences there when writing 'The Lake of Dreams.'
I've learned a lot from the experiences that I went through in high school, through college and overseas, and just everything in life. That is what prepared me for coming into the NBA, being undersized, no recognition, not getting anything easy, and I have been fortunate to prosper in this league.
Making a fool out of yourself and putting it on the Internet is one of the best bonding experiences you could have.
What's interesting is, say, the O.J. trial and when the verdict came out, and there were people who celebrated, and there were people who thought that he's guilty, and it's a crime. Those reactions tend to be filtered through our own experiences.
I really look for peak experiences and dramatic material that can allow peak experiences.
In your life, you go through a difficult situation or a very good situation, and you have different moods, but you learn things from your experiences.
My journey through life has led me through both light and dark places, and it's because of those experiences that I have learned how to work through my character defects and to help others do the same.
Being surrounded by diverse points of view pushes us beyond our comfort zones. And when people and teams bring multiple perspectives and experiences to the table, the discussions are deeper, the decision-making process is better, and the solutions are stronger.
The way I like to work is to attach personal experiences to what I'm doing, so it helps tremendously if I can write my own play under what the writer has written.
I knew I wasn't going to write a record as soon as I got signed, because I hadn't had any life experiences. I was still at school, and I wasn't going to write about that.
I had these experiences as a kid; I remember certain things happening in school that were horrifying that I would see, certain things of violence or certain things of cruelty, but around that, something might happen afterwards to cause everyone to laugh, and that always blew me away.
Anything negative that happens to you in life can be turned into a positive as far as acting is concerned. You can draw on your experiences - it's far better than any research.
Perhaps we can get to the point where we can outsource our own personal experiences entirely into a computer - and possibly our own personality.
