I rate enthusiasm even above professional skill.
“I do not mind what language an opera is sung in so long as it is the language I don't understand.”
“Professional writers write to fit”
“I'm getting more and more bored with professional sports, but I still watch.”
“It's not a bad thing fighting for equality and helping the poor. It's not a bad thing to have on your professional tombstone: 'He believed in equality and he helped the poor.'”
“There is a difference between skill and talent. Master the skill to allow the talent out.”
“What my business partner says is, if the Lord gives you a talent or a skill, you have the obligation to use it as best as you can. Dont you agree?”
“Knowledge is not skill. Knowledge plus ten thousand times is skill.”
