I can't imagine wanting to be famous just for the sake of being famous. I think fame should come along with success talent.

It took me fifteen years to discover I had no talent for writing but I couldn't give it up because by that time I was too famous.

Any idiot can get laid when they're famous. That's easy. It's getting laid when you're not famous that takes some talent.

People hate me because I am a multifaceted talented wealthy internationally famous genius.

I know I'm talented but I wasn't put here to sing. I was put here to be a wife and a mom and look after my family. I love what I do but it's not where it begins and ends.

Getting ahead in a difficult profession requires avid faith in yourself. That is why some people with mediocre talent but with great inner drive go so much further than people with vastly superior talent.

Faith is an aptitude of the spirit. It is in fact a talent: you must be born with it.

It breaks my heart to see these young really talented bands getting chewed up into the system. I remember a time if you'd signed to a major label it was such a sell out! But now... unless you've signed to a big label you're a failure now.

The failure of women to produce genius of the first rank in most of the supreme forms of human effort has been used to block the way of all women of talent and ambition for intellectual achievement.

It's a failure of national vision when you regard children as weapons and talents as materials you can mine assay and fabricate for profit and defense.

At first I wasn't sure that I had the talent but I did know I had a fear of failure and that fear compelled me to fight off anything that might abet it.

Fear stifles our thinking and actions. It creates indecisiveness that results in stagnation. I have known talented people who procrastinate indefinitely rather than risk failure. Lost opportunities cause erosion of confidence and the downward spiral begins.

You want to do something that shows some type individuality and talent and imagination - at the same time you want to be truthful to the predecessors because obviously the audience liked something about them and you have to replicate that experience to a certain extent.

I'd like to work with Justin Bieber. He's talented and he's so young. I know what he's going through. I've lived what he's living through right now. Working with him would complete a circle of sorts for me. And he might find it a worthwhile experience himself.

Everybody's got one killer story. It doesn't take talent to tell that story it just takes experience.

Working with big actors and realising that they were just normal people who've got an incredible talent was just a great experience.

I'd rather have a lot of talent and a little experience than a lot of experience and a little talent.

Women have talent and intelligence but due to social constraints and prejudices it is still a long distance away from the goal of gender equality.

How are men to be secured in any rights without instruction how to be secured in the equal exercise of those rights without equality of instruction? By instruction understand me to mean knowledge - just knowledge not talent not genius not inventive mental powers.

Vocational education programs have made a real difference in the lives of countless young people nationwide they build self-confidence and leadership skills by allowing students to utilize their unique gifts and talents.

As long as she is talented enough and passionate about doing it herself then I will be happy and support her. I think I will be sensible - my parents said I could only do it if I got my education and so I had something to fall back on.

Many thousands of youth have been deprived of the benefit of education thereby their morals ruined and talents irretrievably lost to society for want of cultivation: while two parties have been idly contending who should bestow it.

Whenever a youth is ascertained to possess talents meriting an education which his parents cannot afford he should be carried forward at the public expense.

What have I got? No looks no money no education. Just talent.
