The big talent is persistence.

Art depends on luck and talent.

I wish that the arts were better supported, and you can't say that enough times, but I also believe that whatever happens, artists will keep going.

I think when there's enough will and aggression, there's no shortage of talent either.

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

It's a different era. Our job now is to show leadership and vision and to help the next generation of artists.

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

Talent can be developed, gift is God-given. But artists have both.

Artists rarely do the same thing over and over again. Art is about the new, doing things in a new way.

There is so much talent out there and not quite as much opportunity.
