Greatly talented performers don't know - often spectacularly - what's best for them, don't know what their talents really are, and don't know what's just plain wrong for them.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Talent is talent, and everybody knows somebody who has talent or ability, but they never really converted it into a productive performance for whatever reasons.
I mean these people who work on Broadway, in my opinion, are the most gifted of everyone. I mean they really know how to dance. They really know how to act. They really know how to sing. They know how to perform.
I guess some people want to be performers because they want to be famous.
What people really should be able to be confident in is that the standards of music- making that classically trained musicians present is elite, it is the best and all of us as artists should be committed to that.
I've known lots of people that are talented and nothing happens. It's not about talent, it's relentless drive.
I think that talented people really do have insecurities, and that is one of the things that kind of motivates them, because that's one thing they know they're good at. And when they're up on that stage, you can do no wrong. The audience is yours; they're there to see you.
There is no such thing as talent. There is pressure.
I believe a great performer is someone who sounds just as great live as they do in the studio and vice versa. They should know how to work the stage.
Great musicians accept everything that they hear and find something good. They take what they like and they throw away what they don't like.
Talent! There's no such thing as talent. What they call talent is nothing but the capacity for doing continuous hard work in the right way.
