Gaining my education from practical experience certainly benefited me. If I had gone on to be a lawyer, my life wouldn't have been anywhere near as interesting.

I was attracted to law school because I believed it would help me prepare for a career in the real world.

I think it's good that I had some experience of the real world before I became successful. You know, having to get up in the morning and going to work in construction.

Experience is what really happens to you in the long run; the truth that finally overtakes you.

I think everything you do in life is a learning experience.

Any experience can be transformed into something of value.

Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted.

Real life is the life that's in you, not your circumstances, like where you live or what job you have or who you're in relationship with.

I think real life reflects your movies. In your life, you pick stuff that influences what movie roles you wanna pick. I think if you've got an interesting life, you wanna do interesting movies about interesting things.
