“Being a freak isn’t the same thing as having a talent.”
“It isn’t about being at the same school or the same town or even the same room. It’s about being together. Love is a choice you make.”
“My favorite thing isn’t being the favorite to win—it’s being the underdog.”
“Ignoring isn’t the same as ignorance, you have to work at it.”
“One has no talent. I have no talent. It's just a question of working, of being willing to put in the time.”
“If it [talent] isn’t strong enough to take the gaff of real training, then it’s not worth much.”
