It's mainly about working hard and proving to people you're serious about it, and stretching yourself and learning. The mistake a lot of actors make, particularly young ones, is allowing themselves to feel that they're the finished articles, the bee's knees, and it's not true. Daniel Radcliffe
Wear your learning like your watch, in a private pocket and do not pull it out, and strike it, merely to show that you have one. Lord Chesterfield

My father is a real idealist, and he's all about learning. If I asked for a pair of Nikes growing up, it was just a resounding 'No.' But if I asked for a saxophone, one would appear and next day and I'd be signed up for lessons. So anything to do with education or learning, my father would spare no expense. Hugh Jackman

It's a fundamental, social attitude that the 1% supports symphonies and operas and doesn't support Johnny learning to program hip-hop beats. When I put it like that, it sounds like, 'Well, yeah,' but you start to think, 'Why not, though?' What makes one more valuable than another? David Byrne
Taking charge of your own learning is a part of taking charge of your life, which is the sine qua non in becoming an integrated person. Warren G. Bennis
