— Channing Tatum

— Brin-Jonathan Butler

— Lesley Manville

I like learning stuff. The more information you can get about a person or a subject, the more you can pour into a potential project. I made a decision to do different things.

— Retta
Let ignorance talk as it will, learning has its value.
— Jean de La Fontaine

— Peter Benchley
I'm learning how to live in the present and be grateful for what's working rather than look for the 'what's not working' piece.
— Ali MacGraw
I lived in a world where social arrangements were taken for granted and assumed to be timeless. A child's obligation was to learn these usages, not to question them. The complexities of racial deportment were of a piece with learning manners and etiquette more generally.

— Neil Jordan
I have two different categories of favorite films.

The second category is films that I saw while I was learning the craft of motion pictures.
— John Carpenter

— Ed Asner

— Andrew Greeley
And where does magic come from? I think that magic's in the learning.
— Dar Williams
I guess I'm a good manager now. Moreover, I'm loving the concept of donning the producer's hat. It's all very exciting as well as a great learning experience. You're a part of a film right from its conception to its execution, and that's an amazing feeling.
— Malaika Arora Khan
I've never stopped learning.
— Mick Taylor

— Billy Campbell
The best schools tend to have the best teachers, not to mention parents who supervise homework, so there is less need for self-organised learning.
