The second half of the '60s really was a kind of learning period in terms of writing for me.

There is only one thing more painful than learning from experience and that is not learning from experience.

I think my books talk about kids learning to like and respect themselves and each other. You can't write a message book you just tell the best story you know how to tell.

I think as an actor you're always learning you're always trying to experience more things.

I really believe that what happens one day affects the next and I think that came from that experience of learning that if I told the score inning by inning play by play it built up to its natural climax.

I don't think any other city in the world... the sun doesn't shine the same way anywhere as it does in New York. And then I guess everyone's very good at hanging out. Not in a crazy way but you're just constantly interacting and learning.

I think the biggest thing was that I was putting pressure on myself leading up to Beijing. Now I am learning how to take that pressure off and seeing this as an incredible opportunity but not like 'I absolutely have to medal.'

To summarize the particular song a male sings and the behavioral responses of females to song and morphological signals are not genetically inherited in a fixed manner but are determined by learning early in life.

I like working solo and it was a lot of fun joking around with the audience saying things. I'm only just learning how to do certain things.

Children don't just play any more - they're far too busy learning to fence and taking extra French classes. In the end you're actually doing more damage to your children by trying to hot-house them. It's far better to remain a calm parent.
