“Liberal moms like soccer because it's a sport in which athletic talent finds so little expression that girls can play with boys.

“In spite of their obvious differences, folk art and popular art have much in common; they are easy to understand, they are romantic, patriotic, conventionally moral, and they are held in deep affection by those who are suspicious of the great arts. Popular artists can be serious, like Frederick Remington, or trivial, like Charles Dana Gibson; they can be men of genius like Chaplin or men of talent like Harold Lloyd; they can be as uni versal as Dickens or as parochial as E.P. Roe; one thing common to all of them is the power to communicate directly with everyone.” MenArtArtistCultureEasyDifferencesCommonMoralOne ThingTalentSeriousGeniusFolksAffectionObviousCommunicateSpitePatrioticGreat ArtBe A ManSuspiciousPopular CultureDickensChaplinFolk ArtRemingtonDeep Affection Author:Gilbert Seldes
“I really wanted to do some serious work. I really wanted to be a part of dramatic films. I wanted to show this talent, whatever that means, that I could be a dramatic actress as well. But the truth is, a) I don't know if I can, and b) I love doing comedy, and I felt almost a little embarrassed that I succumbed to the pressure. Vanity is really what it is. I feel really grateful that I am in comedy, and I love doing it.” IfsKnowsFeelsWellsMeanLittlesI CanShowsWantedFilmFeltComedyTalentSeriousTruth IsPressureGratefulActressesVanityDramaticEmbarrassedSerious Work Author:Anna Faris
“I think living is serious. Living well, accepting yourself, using your talents to the fullest, enjoying yourself, that's all serious and important...But I think makeup and fashion should not be taken that seriously...You should have fun making up for a party.

“I believe Picasso's success is just one small part of the broader modern phenomenon of artists themselves rejecting serious art- perhaps partly because serious art takes so much time and energy and talent to produce-in favor of what I call `impulse art': art work that is quick and easy, at least by comparison.” BelieveArtArtistEnergyI BelieveEasyModernTalentProduceSeriousFavorsImpulseJust OneComparisonPhenomenonRejectingSmall PartsTime And Energy Author:Marilyn vos Savant

“In people's minds, I'm a comic, so it took a lot of time before I was recognized as a director. I had to be patient until the public accepted me. As a result, my early films didn't get a lot of attention. As a serious film actor, things didn't take off, either. Only my comic talents were recognized.” PeopleMindFilmActorsResultsAttentionTalentSeriousDirectorsPatientAcceptedComicBe PatientFilm Actors Author:Takeshi Kitano
“Talent acquisition, knowledge transfer, generational diversity, and retention will continue to be serious concerns. I think the golden thread is equipping management to work with Millennials.

Management has never been more important!” ThinkingImportantTalentSeriousDiversityConcernManagement Author:Chip Espinoza
“I kind of shy away from that idea of being an actress because it seems to me to be such a cliché. Also, if you want to be a serious actress, then it's quite difficult to make that transition without being the blond bimbo in the opening credits. Maybe I'm being idealistic about acting and the idea that they would hire people purely based on their talent and not on their looks. But I don't know if I would be a very talented actress anyway.” PeopleKindDifficultActingTalentSeriousShy Author:Edie Campbell
