“I pay attention to what's going on around me. I'm always looking for new energy, new talent, new voices. When you do that I think it's easier to come up with fresh ideas. It's not that my career has been based on surprising people, but it's been about challenging myself - to constantly do new things that are going to broaden my own mind and in the process, hopefully, connect with other people.” PeopleThinkingMindHas BeensIdeasEnergyProcessVoiceChallengesMy OwnPayAttentionCareersTalentEasierCome UpHopefullyPay AttentionSurprisingNew ThingsNew EnergyChallenging MyselfNew TalentFresh Ideas Author:Madonna Ciccone

“Entertainers are nothing special. Maybe we have a talent for singing a song, but other people have talents. I wish fans would just come up and say 'hello' before asking for an autograph. I wish they would just say, 'Hello, I'm so and so, and I just want to shake your hand.' I'm impressed when I find people like that. Most people just say, 'Sign here,' and treat you like a statue.” PeopleWantHandsSongWishFansSpecialTalentSingingTreatsAskingCome UpShakesImpressedHelloStatuesEntertainersAutographs Author:Eddy Arnold

I think that's really my greatest talent, interpreting.” IfsThinkingWayFeelsLongRealSometimesWould BeSongActorsEnjoyTalentMinesLong TimeCome UpBeing RealInterpreting Author:Steve Young
