I decided at age 9 but I was reinforced at age 13 when a teacher told me I had talent. I can't say she really motivated me because I already knew. I knew I had talent. I went to the Jewish community theater and got in plays there. Then I went for the movies.'

Success is what you do with your ability. It's how you use your talent.

I was if you like a successful schoolboy in that I had a degree of talent in all the required things that make you a success at school.

The only success worth one's powder was success in the line of one's idiosyncrasy... what was talent but the art of being completely whatever one happened to be?

I don't think success is harmful as so many people say. Rather I believe it indispensable to talent if for nothing else than to increase the talent.

The talent of success is nothing more than doing what you can do well and doing well whatever you do without thought of fame. If it comes at all it will come because it is deserved not because it is sought after.

If you want to achieve things in life you've just got to do them and if you're talented and smart you'll succeed.

Does anybody really think that they didn't get what they had because they didn't have the talent or the strength or the endurance or the commitment?

My chief gifts are - naturally good at all sports with a raw talent for pretty much everything which if nurtured could develop into improper talent.

When did I know I had talent? I think it started when I first started playing sports organized sports.
