"Talent is an amalgam of high sensitivity; easy vulnerability; high sensory equipment (seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, tasting -- intensely); a vivid imagination as well as a grip on reality; the desire to communicate one's own experience and sensations, to make one's self heard and seen." - (the Great) Uta Hagen

"There is a vitality, a life-force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and be lost. The world will not have it.
It is not your business to determine
how good it is:
nor how valuable it is;
nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.

You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate YOU.

Keep the channel open...
No artist is pleased...

There is no satisfaction whatever at anytime. There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction; a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others."

-Martha Graham to Agnes DeMille

"And then, curtain. It was over. But that’s not important. The important thing is that I lived, and if you’re gonna live… LIVE. And if you’re gonna go – and let’s face it, you’re all gonna go – don’t go quietly. Go out in the spotlight! Go out shaking your can, bending your wrists, singing your own songs, and wearing a brand-new Hawaiian shirt! ONE… TWO… THREE”.

The Boy from Oz - Peter Allen/Hugh Jackman
