The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.

People are learning to feel more comfortable hearing one another's dreams. It used to be that if you told a dream in public someone had to make a joke to relieve the tension introduced by that alternative reality.

By learning about my body and making small subtle changes I find out what I enjoy and what is effective. I'm always finessing: adjusting my diet and my workouts. You have to figure out which exercises are fun and interesting and stimulate your brain - or else you'll never keep at them.

I had been impressed by the fact that biological systems were based on molecular machines and that we were learning to design and build these sorts of things.

I thank my God for graciously granting me the opportunity of learning that death is the key which unlocks the door to our true happiness.

While I thought that I was learning how to live I have been learning how to die.

Often as a child you see someone with a learning disability or Down's Syndrome and my mum and dad were always very quick to explain exactly what was going on and to be in their own way inclusive and welcoming.

I'm still shy - I'm no good at my children's parent-teacher conferences and I'm slowly learning how to ask for what I want. But I now know that I have a reserve of courage to draw upon when I really need it. There's nothing that I'm too scared to have a go at.

TV is so different from the movies. It takes a lot of stamina because you work such long hours. It is really challenging. You are learning the next day's lines while you are shooting today's scenes. I found courage I never realised I had. I hope to do more.

I was training more learning how to scuba dive which I'd never done which was really really really cool.
