Also dated (and married) actors. Yikes.

I'm watching Pretend it's a City this week about Fran Lebowitz and she says something like you're either born with talent or not and that's it. Which is great if you're one of those folks, but pretty discouraging if not. I've actually heard this before from artists of a certain generation. Your post was a timely breath of fresh air. Do you think that's just an "opinion"?
