My father was a great admirer of music and the arts, so there was always a lot of culture in the house. As it happened, while my father was the ambassador in Portugal, the ambassador's residence had a piano, and so I started learning how to play it at the age of five.

Learning Jimmy Carr riffs off by heart is not the way to anyone's heart, unless you're Jimmy Carr. And remember, the two most attractive things in a man is a sense of danger and being able to make a girl feel really safe.

Trying to learn to be a good man is like learning to play tennis against a wall. You are only a good man - a competent, capable, interesting and lovable man - when you're doing it for, or with, other people.

My kids miss me when I'm away, but I don't mind living out of a suitcase. The U.K., U.S., France, Germany, Iraq... it's such a thrill meeting people of different cultures, learning about and from them. It's changed my perception about life, humanity and spirituality.

A. R. Rahman

Life Learning Change

The journey that I have undertaken, meeting people from all walks of life and learning from them, has been my biggest achievement.

Aamir Khan

Men Life Learning

The big thing is, it's about learning which off-speed pitches to swing at. A lot of people say, 'Oh, this guy can't hit a curveball; this guy can't hit an off-speed pitch.' But it's about swinging at the right one. Swing at the hangers. Swing at the ones you can handle.

The original idea before Mint was a life and goal planning system I called Carpe Viva. The idea was that all of life's goals, from buying a house, getting an MBA, or learning Spanish could be quantified in both time and money.

I got to know Elton John's older music by learning to like his newer stuff. 'The Lion King?' That's what I like.

Aaron Schock

Music Learning Us

For me, I try to live life every day by getting to know people for who they are and learning from them.

Part of being a former abortion clinic worker is learning how to deal with your past sin.

The political, social, and spiritual impact of the life example set by Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela might be measured in part by the profound and unique gestures made by people in different countries to honor his life upon learning of his death.

I did 'Dirty Picture' when I was only 24 years old. From there on, I kept on acting and learning about acting.

Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and diligence.

Abigail Adams

Only the other world has substance and reality; only good deeds and holy learning have tangible worth.

Abraham Cahan

What we need in medical schools is not to teach empathy, as much as to preserve it - the process of learning huge volumes of information about disease, of learning a specialized language, can ironically make one lose sight of the patient one came to serve; empathy can be replaced by cynicism.

Abraham Verghese

Medical Learning Age

I've learned that for Indian people, the opportunity for us to succeed is very slim. So acting was a great tool for that. And in the process of learning about my culture, I've learned how to connect myself again to my ancestors.

Adam Beach

The pace of innovation may slow down or speed up depending on the appetite in the public markets, but the constant progress of technology doesn't really ever stop. There's always opportunities for new ideas and creative people to go build great things. I'm always interested in learning about those kinds of opportunities.

Adam Dell

For me, becoming a man had a lot to do with learning communication, and I learned about that by acting.

Adam Driver

When I learning to write songs, I never really was interested in the chorus.

Learning Write Us

Learning to read the Bible in the light of the times in which it was written is critical. Reading it uncritically, without understanding the cultural and historical setting of the text, leaves us forced to accept scientific and sociological norms of the ancient Near East from 3,000 years ago.

As a new Googler, Porat spent some time learning the words that describe the Googley people who work in those buildings.

Adam Lashinsky

WeWork has always believed that we are better together, and a large part of that is learning from others through meaningful connections and experiences.

Adam Neumann

Ultimately, I hypothesize that technology will one day be able to recreate a realistic representation of us as a result of the plethora of content we're creating converging with other advances in machine learning, robotics and large-scale data mining.

Adam Ostrow

During my time at Watchung Hills Regional High School, I was fortunate to have a number of teachers who inspired me and filled me with enthusiasm for learning.

Adam Riess

As an athlete, I know that I'm such a perfectionist that I'll want to go out and keep working on something over and over until it's perfect. Part of growing up is learning to take a step back.

Adam Rippon

It definitely has learning a lesson about the way you're living your life. I wouldn't compare our movie to that, but it has a structure where it's about a man who doesn't appreciate all that he has and finds out at the end that life has been great and he has to enjoy that.

Adam Sandler

Being a geek is all about learning the inventories of things.

Adam Savage

I'm always going to be making costumes. It's one of the ways I relax my brain. In addition to the pleasure of having the piece, there is a deep and abiding pleasure for me assembling something in my head - learning to know something in its totality in my head, and then putting together all the constituent parts into a cohesive whole.

Adam Savage

I've always been a very observant person, a visual person. That's my way of learning. Things on paper, notes and things like that, don't help me the same way as watching things live.

Adam Thielen

Always be listening and learning.

Adena Friedman

You never stop learning.

The best thing we can do with rejection is to make it a learning experience - rejection is a great teacher.

Adena Friedman

I'm a mom... and I'm learning this being a parent, sometimes your child can be such a reflection of who you are. And I have to figure out when it is my ego that dictates how I parent and when it is what I think is best for my child.

Adina Porter

Dhanush is an insanely incredible actor. To be directed by him has been nothing short of a learning experience.

Aditi Rao Hydari

Every actor feels that he can do much better and keeps on learning and experimenting all the time.

Hoping to instill my love of learning in other children, I taught my first class at a local elementary school the year my first book, 'Flying Fingers,' debuted; since then, I have spoken at hundreds of schools, classrooms and conferences around the world.

Adora Svitak

Ineffective substitute teaching is a problem that means thousands of hours of lost learning for America's students. It cannot be dismissed with a sigh and 'Just wait for the teacher to come back on Monday.'

Adora Svitak

You make a decision whether you just work on the script and believe in every moment and pick out every moment, or if you sit down and memorize lines. Once you really dig into a script, learning lines becomes almost second nature.

Adria Arjona

I think we need to recognize that learning is a lifelong goal, a lifelong experience.

Adrian Grenier

I think I'm learning how to release every day. Recognizing that everything you encounter, touch, or love can become part of you, and in essence never disappears, as long as you can recall it to memory or heart. It's all so connected that we lose everything, but also, we never lose anything.

Adrianne Lenker

Justice turns the scale, bringing to some learning through suffering.

Aeschylus

I am hoping to improve my writing and rapping, as well as get a better grasp on how to make beats and music that complements what I do vocally. It's a learning process that hopefully won't end.

Aesop Rock

Inserting my personal brand of humor is something I have at times had trouble doing - but I feel like I've been learning about it a little more, how to do it, and how it helps my songs.

Aesop Rock

I want to stay learning and hopefully allow my craft to evolve.

Aesop Rock

I studied psychology for a couple of years as a personal hobby, so you start learning about people and listening to your intuition, like when you you're feeling that people are not being entirely straight with you.

Afrojack

The more you're out there singing, learning, and adding roles to your repertoire, it reforms the next piece.

Ailyn Perez

Sometimes as human beings, we're so contradictory - we may say something or do something and completely contradict ourselves. That's what I'm learning to embrace in television - not knowing what's going to happen.

Aja Naomi King

In every character I play, I try to imbibe something. Every film is a learning process for me.

Ajay Naidu

Acting is a learning process. And what you are doing in your early films is essentially picking up the nuances, the tricks of your trade. And somewhere along the line, you become analytical and learn to enjoy what you are doing.
