Any gifted child can potentially get in real trouble because of the way they are handled.

Because essentially Schoenberg was an extremely gifted man. And in spite of many of his theories and so on, when he really began to write music, he still was guided very much by his internal hearing, by what we call your internal ear.
Leo Ornstein

Being gifted needs courage.

I also had a brother who was like me a musician and a composer. A man of great talent, far more gifted than I. He died very young... he killed himself in the prime of his life.
Gustav Mahler

I am rich from the bequests other gifted people have seen fit to leave to me.

Oliver Kahn

I know very little about acting. I'm just an incredibly gifted faker.
Robert Downey, Jr.

I like Spike Lee a lot. He's incredibly gifted and I don't think he gets the credit he deserves as a filmmaker.

George Linnaeus Banks

I think when you are the parents of a gifted athlete, the best thing in the world you can do is to encourage them, in my opinion. My dad didn't push me and I didn't push my children in athletics.
