I view life as a learning experience. It is not so much all about music it is about what happens when you are doing the music.
I feel like I'm still learning a lot. I think there's a tendency for people who are just doing their first couple of films that I see now where they seem to be really resentful of the technical limitations that come along with filmmaking.
I never refused an autograph never refused to buy someone a drink. Now I'm learning to say I've got other things on instead of doing it and wondering why.
I'm always learning from experiences because each one is different and there are different players involved in the project at the time with their own way of doing things.
I'm going from doing all of the work to having to delegate the work - which is almost harder for me than doing the work myself. I'm a lousy delegator but I'm learning.
In terms of doing work and in terms of learning and evolving as a person you just grow more when you get more people's perspectives... I really try and live the mission of the company and... keep everything else in my life extremely simple.
Learning is pleasurable but doing is the height of enjoyment.
One of the greatest and simplest tools for learning more and growing is doing more.
You don't learn to walk by following rules. You learn by doing and by falling over.
I am always doing that which I cannot do in order that I may learn how to do it.
If we knew what it was we were doing it would not be called research would it?
Why - because as a oil and gas small business owner - I know if someone is not doing their job they should not get paid. Again leadership by example.
The business manager was doing fine back in his office while they were out on the line hungry. And so they started to see a lot of that and there was that maybe the leadership had its own cause. More so than the miners you know it was like a power struggle.
I knew I could not maintain that leadership in open struggle against Moscow influence. Only two Communist leaders in history ever succeeded in doing this - Tito and Mao Tse-tung.
This Congress is simply not doing its job under Republican leadership.
Leadership is about doing what you know is right - even when a growing din of voices around you is trying to convince you to accept what you know to be wrong.
We should be therefore supporting a larger Europe and in so doing we should strive to expand the zone of peace and prosperity in the world which is the necessary foundation for a stable international system in which our leadership could be fruitfully exercised.
But the ability to articulate what you are doing to be clear about it and to stick to it is I think the essence of political leadership.
From a parent's right to know what their children are doing to protecting citizens across the country from the growing threat of gang violence the House Democrat leadership is simply out to lunch.
We have treated our most serious adversaries such as Iran and North Korea in the most juvenile manner - by giving them the silent treatment. In so doing we have weakened not strengthened our bargaining position and our leadership.
Doing nothing while the middle class is hurting. That's not leadership. Loose regulations and lax enforcement. That's not leadership. That's abandoning our middle class.
True leadership lies in guiding others to success. In ensuring that everyone is performing at their best doing the work they are pledged to do and doing it well.
Doing is a quantum leap from imagining.
Give whatever you are doing and whoever you are with the gift of your attention.
Definitely they write themselves. It's an amazing experience. It's like the characters have come alive and are sitting on my shoulder talking to me telling me their tales.
