			<description><![CDATA[<img style="width: 85px; height: 75px;" title="" alt="" src="http://talentdevelop.com/images/KristenStewart2.jpg" align="Left" border="0" vspace="5" hspace="11"/>Many interviewers and entertainment writers have described Twilight Saga actor Kristen Stewart as “cautious” and “shy” - even a “Self-proclaimed introvert.”
I am not presuming Kristen Stewart is shy, introverted or highly sensitive, and I don’t know her personally.
But just from my gut reaction to seeing her in movies and
interviews, she does seem to have all those traits, like many other
very talented actors.<br/>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[A critic once described the mind of Jonathan Miller as “a
turmoil of sizzling wires, connecting drama with anthropology,
literature with quantum physics, linguistics with genetic theory.” What caught my attention to write this post was the discord  Dr. Miller has expressed about his choosing various career paths in the arts and entertainment, instead of medicine.<br/>]]></description>

			<link>http://talentdevelop.com/articlelive/articles/916/1/Using-Your-High-Sensitivity-Personality-As-an-Actor/Page1.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[<img style="width: 77px; height: 111px;" title="" alt="" src="http://talentdevelop.com/images/WRyder9.jpg" align="Left" border="0" vspace="5" hspace="11"/>Winona Ryder admits there have been times when she has
thought, “I’m too sensitive for this world right now; I just don’t
belong here. It’s too fast and I don’t understand it.”<br/><br/>Many artists, including actors, are highly
sensitive and use this personality trait to be more creative. But it can also lead to
being emotionally overwhelmed, if you don't take care of yourself.<br/>]]></description>

			<link>http://talentdevelop.com/articlelive/articles/871/1/Being-a-perfectionist---is-it-a-vice-or-asset/Page1.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Perfectionism is often an aspect of being a gifted and multitalented
person, and can be an integral strategy in the pursuit of excellence
and fuel for high achievement.

dissatisfied, and even hold us back from finishing - or even starting -
a project.<br/>]]></description>
