About This Quote

The greatest thing about our times is that you don't need permission to express yourself the way you wish. Some people tell themselves they can't do it, because they're missing this or that, but historically, specialization is a recent convention. Most of us are born natural polymaths, and we grow up knowing we can do anything we put our minds to. This includes such things as playing an instrument or singing in a choir, taking up painting or sculpture, writing poetry or fiction, making films and documentaries, designing buildings and furniture, performing in the theater and in opera, composing music and composes music, composing music and conducting orchestras and choirs. There is literally no limit to what we can do in any field we choose.
