Everyone has talent at twenty-five. The difficulty is to have it at fifty.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Forty is when you actually begin even deserving to be on stage telling people what you think.
I'm sure there's a subconscious 'go for it' thing with turning 50. You want to do as much as possible and there are thoughts of how little time we have on the planet. For a lot of musicians in their 50s, the best days are behind them. I'd like to try and show that there is a future.
Talent is something that comes from within; it has nothing to do with age.
By the age of fifty, you have made yourself what you are, and if it is good, it is better than your youth.
Talented people are written off once they hit their 50s and 60s, and the saddest thing is, we just get better as we get older.
There's no such thing as talent; you just have to work hard enough.
If there used to be 100 people at a major working on a record, now there are 18, but they're the good ones. There's a lean, mean hunger.
Twenty-two is just such a random age. It's a little blah.
My audience has lots of people between 20 and 35, but there are always a few 60-year-olds, and it makes me happier than if everyone was 22.
The thing about talent is that it comes at different ages, sometimes at a very early age. That's when I find it to be the most challenging.
