I always look for an intense experience, an intense ride. There is nothing better than a good zombie movie where you run crazy and blow at monsters! It was a physical shoot and I enjoyed it. – Sarah Polley
I love the experience of getting to direct because I can have all of the fun of helping shape the show, but I don’t have to actually do it, so I don’t have to deal with the nerves. – Tom Lenk

I went to Northwestern because I had gone to a really nontraditional high school. I was like, ‘It’d be cool to have a traditional college experience.’ Then I was like, ‘Oh, but none of these people understand what’s cool about me. My specialness is not appreciated in this place.’ – Zooey Deschanel
You can’t dodge them all. I got hammered plenty of times through the years. But you just get up and keep playing. I can tell you from experience, though. Sometimes it hurts like hell. – Terry Bradshaw
Part of what made ‘The Bling Ring’ such a fun, freeing experience was that we got to wear these really over-the-top clothes we’d never pick in real life – like for the nightclub scenes, we’d have on these really short, really tight dresses. But you know what – I actually learned how to walk in heels on that set! – Taissa Farmiga
It always seemed to me ironic that the McCain campaign kept referring sneeringly to Obama’s meager resume – ‘a mere community organizer!’ – before he entered electoral politics. It was Obama’s experience as a community organizer that proved such a killer app when he applied that skill to the Internet. – Tina Brown
I think that there is a sort of spiritual power that is translating into our bodies as we perform. Performers give, and giving is so important. It can heal. That is my experience, anyway. – Yoko Ono
I’ve never had a supernatural experience. I’ve been tempted to maybe have a tarot-card reading, but I don’t know if I’d necessarily want to know. – Samantha Shannon

I have no personal experience in the military. All I know about it is what I’ve seen in movies and read in books and watched on television. My knowledge is probably no more or no less than the average person’s. ‘A Brief Encounter with the Enemy’ was created by taking bits and pieces from here and there, and then putting my own spin on them. – Said Sayrafiezadeh
France was very opposite of the show-business experience I’d been living; I was anonymous and alone. I wore no makeup, wore the same clothes every day. And I wrote and wrote and wrote. – Tift Merritt

I read Freud’s Introductory Lectures in Psychoanalysis in basically one sitting. I decided to enroll in medical school. It was almost like a conversion experience. – Stanislav Grof
‘Saw’ has been a unique experience in that I’ve had the opportunity to work with some really great artists, and everyone has contributed in so many different ways, in all of the different departments of a film crew. – Tobin Bell
