I have ventured out and written about real-life experiences that I haven't gone through myself, but I've known people to go through them. In the past, I've always written about my experiences and people related to that, but there's a lot of other things that I've never written about that people have gone through.

Cassadee Pope

I don't even draw on my life experiences when I'm acting. I just try and make it feel like I'm living through that person's skin.

Aaron Paul

Life experiences inherently change you as a writer. My sense of fury calmed down when I had children and found a loving partner.

Abi Morgan

Rather than serving in the U.S. Senate for almost 20 years or having so many other wonderful life experiences, I could have served a longer sentence in prison for some of the stupid, reckless things I did as a teenager.

Alan K. Simpson

With acting, it wouldn't be about money: it would be about taking my life experiences and using them to create art.

Alexis Ren

You can't go into new life experiences without the understanding that yeah, you may fail, but knowing you might fail can't stop you from trying.

Alice Dreger

To a point, family does that and a couple of life experiences both positive and negative that have definitely altered my perception on rugby. Whereas my first 28-29 years, rugby was the entire focus, which was not that healthy, now you realise what is really important.

Alun Wyn Jones

I think a lot of people are making music that shares their life experiences, and that's what I choose to do, too, but in my life experience, I also choose to try to find the hope in the music, and I think a lot of it has to do with my Christian faith.

Andy Mineo

I have never run for office and I don't have political experience. But I do have life experiences.

Angela Stanton-King

My life experiences are different than the average person because I've spent the last 10 years living in Mexico. I generally don't know what's going on in America, and when I do visit for work, I'm often interrogated about my life choices by random strangers.

Ann Aguirre

I think people who don't go away to university are missing out on one of the great life experiences. You meet people from so many different places and it's the shared life experience that helps you grow.

Anne Murray

It's kind of a mystery to me, as far as my own life experiences and what I've witnessed - why some people can just move on through traumatic experiences, in childhood particularly, and why other people are just paralyzed by it. I just don't know how and why that is.

Annette Bening

When I am not working, I go to the movies, text my friends, my thumbs are faster than lightening on that keyboard!, write songs, sing, dance, Facebook, Twitter and spend time with my besties. I am also a songwriter and I love to write about my life experiences.

Ariel Winter

Inspiration for my music just comes from, you know, my life experiences.

Avril Lavigne

I think life experiences are different for people who know what they want as children.

bell hooks

I think an actor without life experiences is empty.

Bhumi Pednekar

Wherever I go, I just try to show normal life. If the work helps to dispel stereotypes, it's because I seek not to portray the extremities of a place, but the vast majority of people who are quite normal and are having normal life experiences.

Brandon Stanton

It's the same as any role and I find that you can't lump characters together; because they all have different life experiences, different reasons for being the way they are.

Brenda Blethyn

It's easier for me to write certain character types because of my own life experiences, but I find it too artistically limiting to only write about red-headed kids who grew up in small town Montana. That's really part of the fun of fantasy, I think. Our imagination is basically unlimited. Okay, that's a terrifying thing about fantasy, too.

Brent Weeks

People want leaders. Not ideologues. Not people whose life experiences have been so narrow that they've been able to maintain the purity of their youthful ideals. Not people whose principal contact with political life comes in the form of speeches and sound bites rather than decisions and responsibilities.

Bret Stephens

I love people that kind of have those life experiences that take them different places.
