In an age robbed of religious symbols, going to the shops replaces going to the church. We have a free choice, but at a price. We can win experience, but never achieve innocence. Marx knew that the epic activities of the modern world involve not lance and sword but dry goods.

All experience is subjective.

I think that being in an environment is a much richer experience than just working on a soundstage.

It was a challenging experience. I'm looking forward to a break.

People of art should never get married and have children, because it's a selfish experience.

Age is only a number, a cipher for the records. A man can't retire his experience. He must use it. Experience achieves more with less energy and time.

The thought you have now shapes your experience of the next moment. Practice shaping the moment.

Gather experience... Look at what you should not look at. A feeling of anxiety is the sure and certain evidence that you should do this.

I'll tell you one thing, in what I do for a living, there's no substitute for experience. I don't care how much natural talent you may have... In the type of show I do, you can depend on surprises.

I gave my beauty and my youth to men. I am going to give my wisdom and experience to animals.

I was emotionally and physically punched in the stomach. This is not a place where you go and deliver the lines and then you come back. It's kind of a life-changing experience. But it can't get better than this for any actor - this is like an opera.

While I have never been a regular churchgoer, I'm anything but immune to the power and the majesty of the religious experience.

Most of the images of reality on which we base our actions are really based on vicarious experience.

I've never been convinced that experience is linear, circular, or even random. It just is. I try to put it in some kind of order to extract meaning from it, to bring meaning to it.

Painting what I experience, translating what I feel, is like a great liberation. But it is also work, self-examination, consciousness, criticism, struggle.
