Back when I was PLAYING I enjoyed studying films, LOOKING for NEW trends in the game and examining the new players who came along.

All great composers of the PAST spent most of their time studying. FEELING alone won't do the JOB. A MAN also needs technique.

It is too late to be STUDYING Hebrew; it is more IMPORTANT to UNDERSTAND EVEN the slang of TODAY.

The GREAT philosophers and the great works are standards for the SELECTION of what is ESSENTIAL. Everything that we do in studying the history of philosophy ULTIMATELY serves their BETTER understanding.

I was a promising graduate student. I landed a position as a professor before I EVEN started to WRITE my dissertation. While I PREPARED to start my new job, I DECIDED that I would begin by studying the brine that bleeds sideways within the rocks that underlie the inner Aegean region of TURKEY.

I'm a scientist - a geobiologist who's been studying trees, flowers, seeds, and soil for over twenty YEARS. One day, I REALIZED that I wanted, NEEDED, to tell PEOPLE - and not just other scientists - about my life in SCIENCE.

I was studying MUSIC in college. I was singing, I was doing operas and Gilbert and SULLIVAN operettas, and then I was OFFERED a job as the music DIRECTOR of the Bigfork Summer Playhouse, in Bigfork, Montana.

I actually was a good STUDENT, but I never APPLIED myself 'cause I was always LIKE, 'I don't love doing this.' I wasn't passionate about school. I always got a B just to PASS. But what's crazy is I got a 29 on my ACT test without even STUDYING. So I was always, like, just smart - but never really cared.

I STARTED STUDYING PIANO at the AGE of FOUR.

I was studying to be a doctor like EVERY good Indian BOY, and doing MUSIC on the side as a hobby. Then I started to GET a little serious and record companies started giving me offers!
