“The world is too competitive. There are too many talented people who are willing to work hard; and a buttload of morons who are untalented, who are more than willing to surpass you.”
Tom McTigue - Mr. Turlington

“You have a genuine talent for slogans. It must be like having an ear for music.”

Ernest Truex - Mr. Baxter

“The voice you hear is not my speaking voice - but my mind's voice. I have not spoken since I was six-years-old. No one knows why - not even me. My father says it is a dark talent, and the day I take it into my head to stop breathing will be my last.”

Holly Hunter - Ada

“God doesn't give people talents that He doesn't want people to use. And He gave you The Touch. It's a power inside of you, down there where you keep your guts, boy. It's all you need to blast your way in and get back what they took from you.”

Louis Gossett Jr. - Charles "Chappy" Sinclair

“Michael Jordan plays ball. Charles Manson kills people. I talk. Everyone has a talent.”
Aaron Eckhart - Nick Naylor
