Quote

Talent is being able to please people.

There are lots of jobs in search of talent. And there's lots of talent in search of meaningful work.

I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.

There is no substitute for talent. Industry and all its virtues are of no avail.

You have to hone your craft, but you also have to be born with a certain amount of talent, and I never took the talent for granted - I've always worked really hard to be as good as I could be.

The key is grow your talent, attract talent, and then you'll attract the institutions that want to be around talent - and that, to me, is what we need to do at the national level.

You achieve because you're lucky to work with people who are very talented.
