I believe that every person is born with talent.

Every human has four endowments- self awareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom... The power to choose, to respond, to change

If I weren't as talented as I am ambitious, I would be a gross monstrosity

Celebrity is the chastisement of merit and the punishment of talent

There is nothing new in art except talent

When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, I used everything you gave me.
