I enjoyed the administrative work because it involved working with Congress city council and the mayor. I had never been a politician so it was fun - learning political maneuvering.

I've never gone to acting school and I never will so I'm learning about the business from the people who are in the business. It doesn't seem like I work at all. And the unknown is always exciting.

I'm developing a record company. I'm learning how to supervise music on a film.

Learning is any change in a system that produces a more or less permanent change in its capacity for adapting to its environment.

The willingness to keep learning is I think the most important thing about trying to be good at anything. You never want to stop learning.

I sat staring staring staring - half lost learning a new language or rather the same language in a different dialect. So still were the big woods where I sat sound might not yet have been born.

That was the reasoning behind learning to play bass and then after that it was more like it was neat to play songs together - for me to play bass and for him to play guitar.

Even though I was theatrically trained learning to develop a character was an awesome experience.

Perhaps to the uninformed it may appear unaccountable that a man should be able to retain in his memory such a variety of learning but the close alliance with each other of the different branches of science will explain the difficulty.

In this business if you take too long the landscape changes. So the opportunities that were there when I decided to take a break weren't there when I came back. It's like 'Wait a second - what happened here?' It was a real learning experience. I've paid my dues I will tell you that.
