“He [Charlie Chaplin] was always playing as if it were to the camera, if you've seen the live shots of him when he's going to an opening night or something like that. And the skills that he had were beyond my ability to throw together. You just couldn't really compete with him.

“We've all seen talented young players who get to a certain level but there comes a point where that talent will only take you so far. The great players go away and work on extra things. They work harder on their skills, they start having early nights and they think about their diet and training. That is what takes them to the next level.” ThinkingYoungNightCertainNextLevelsPlayerTalentHard WorkSkillsTrainingHarderDietsExtrasGoing AwayWork HarderNext Level Author:Warren Gatland
“Everybody has talent and it's just a matter of moving around until you've discovered what it is. A talent is a combination of something you love a great deal and something you can lose yourself in - something that you can start at 9 o'clock, look up from your work and it's 10 o'clock at night - and also something that you have a talent, not a talent for, but skills that you have a natural ability to do very well. And usually those two things go together.” WellsLooksTwoMatterTogetherMovingNightLosesNaturalAbilityDealsTalentSkillsCombinationClockLook UpTwo ThingsLosing YourselfSomething You LoveNatural Ability Author:George Lucas

“Many of the enchanted things in the book are lamps, carpets, sofas, gems, brass rings. It is a rather different landscape than the fairy tale landscape of the West. Though we have interiors and palaces, we don't have bustling cities, and there isn't the emphasis on the artisan making things. The ambiance from which they were written was an entirely different one. The Arabian Nights comes out of a huge world of markets and trade. Cairo, Basra, Damascus: trades and skills.” WorldBookDifferentNightCitiesWrittenHugeSkillsTradeWestRingsTalesLandscapeFairyFairy TaleInteriorsEmphasisLampsCarpetPalacesGemsEnchantedBrassSofasArtisansArabianCairoArabian NightsAmbiance Author:Marina Warner
“I think in theater it demands that you say the same words every night and make it feel fresh and new. Improv demands that you be operating at the highest level of your creativity intelligence. So these two skills are both very important but I've seen people who are very skilled at one area struggle with the other. Either improvisers feel constrained by having to say the same thing over and over again or people who are really good at doing scripted work feel intimidated and exposed doing improvisation.” PeopleThinkingFeelsTwoImportantNightLevelsCreativityStruggleSkillsDemandHighestAreasTheaterExposedEvery NightImprovisationIntimidated Author:Gillian Jacobs
“I think theatre reminds us what we're doing as actors, because every night and every matinee day, you have an audience telling you what's working and what's not.

“The '60s and '70s - I grew up in the Haight-Ashbury - people around me were going to school by day and all night long having these incredibly exciting meetings, mobilizing, marching, drafting statements. It was very intoxicating. It was very energizing. We've really forgotten a lot of those skills. Or they haven't been transmitted. It's useful to the people controlling us to have those skills not be available.” PeopleLongSchoolNightHavensGrewSkillsGrew UpExcitingMeetingsForgottenAvailableStatementsAll NightEnergizingDrafting Author:Naomi Wolf

“The Democrats seem to be basically nicer people, but they have demonstrated time and again that they have the management skills of celery. They're the kind of people who'd stop to help you change a flat, but would somehow manage to set your car on fire. I would be reluctant to entrust them with a Cuisinart, let alone the economy.
