Look, talent comes everywhere, but having something to say and a way to say it, to have people listen to it, that’s a whole other bag. And unless you get out and you try to do it, you’ll never know. […] All you got is you and what you want to say to people, and they are listening right now and they’re not going to be listening forever, trust me. So you gotta grab it, and you don’t apologize, you don’t worry about why they’re listening or how long they’re going to be listening for—you just tell them what you want to say.
— Jackson Maine in A Star Is Born (2018)
