Goethe said, Talent is developed in privacy, you know?And it's really true. There is a need for aloneness which I don't think most people realize for an actor. It's almost having certain kinds of secrets for yourself that you'll let the whole world in on only for a moment, when you're acting

I'll always be there because I'm a skilled professional actor. Whether or not I've any talent is beside the point

It is not enough to have a good mind the main thing is to use it well

The best friend will probably acquire the best wife, because a good marriage is founded on the talent for friendship

No matter what, ALWAYS BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. Any doubts must be put out of your mind. If you find yourself thinking something negative, figure out who it was who put that thought in your head then acknowledge that it's not your thought, push it out of your mind, and say, I'm awesome!

We believe that if men have the talent to invent new machines that put men out of work, they have the talent to put those men back to work

Talent develops in tranquillity, character in the full current of human life

Winning takes talent, to repeat takes character

Talents are best nurtured in solitude, but character is best formed in the stormy billows of the world

Great things are accomplished by talented people who believe they will accomplish them.
