I hope that we can continue this cooperation on other critical issues related to America's future technological competitiveness. We must work together to encourage the creative talents that have made our country the world leader in technology.

But I think funny and talent will always win out I mean of course there are hurdles but I think if you're funny you will get over all of that.

When I was doing ensemble theater and comedy work I felt I had some talents. But when I started doing my shows in Berkeley and found that I could be funny on my own I was shocked.

I had to act in a school play when I was about ten years old. I really didn't want to do it. But everyone had to do it so I didn't have a choice. A talent agent came and watched it and later gave me some work. It's funny because I'd always known that I wanted a movie career. I just didn't think that I would be in the movies.

I really feel that the talent I have is acting. Freedom and the possibility of play-that is what I like to have.

We simply can no longer afford to deny the full potential of one half of the population. The world needs to tap into the talent and wisdom of women. Whether the issue is food security economic recovery health or peace and security the participation of women is needed now more than ever.

There's this common perception that having a famous last name is all you need. A surname may get you a meeting but if there's no talent you won't get the part.

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.
