'Mary Poppins' was one of the best experiences of my life.
So, you know, parenting is a very intimate and amazing experience and one of the best experiences of my life.
I think theater is powerful. The best experiences I had in the theater are more powerful than the best experiences I had in movies.
Certainly, a lot of the films I've worked on have ended up good movies, but they haven't always been the best experiences
My best experiences with movies have come when I didn't know what to see.
Some things aren't to my taste and I wish they wouldn't have happened but they have been some of the best experiences to learn and grow from so I am grateful for every moment.
Writing and directing your own film, for me, has been the best experience of my life.
You can win with the best product, the best price, or the best experience.
With books at least, the best experiences are not when you find what you were looking for, but when something quite different finds you, takes you by surprise, shifts your tastes to new territory.
The best experiences and the biggest ideas don't fit into a category. They change it. They don't get filed away, they transform us.

The best experiences and the biggest ideas don't fit into a category. They change it.
My best experience as a writer was working with Michael Ondaatje. He let me dismantle his novel, reimagine it, and still had dinner with me and gave me good notes. But the best thing about writing has been the writer's life, the sense of being expressed, the ownership of the day, the entirely specious sense of freedom we have, however slave we are to some boss or other. I wouldn't trade it for any other life.
