I think when you get people who are really talented and you take them out of their comfort zone, you get a lot more out of them.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have friends that are super talented, that are far more talented than I am in certain areas, but it just doesn't happen for them. Sometimes you feel guilty for your success because you know people who deserve it way more.
Obviously talent gets you to a certain point, but it's what you do with it, how you handle.
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.
It's all about your determination, I think, as much as anything. There are a lot of people with talent, but it's that determination.
People think it comes easy to us because we are from a family full of musicians, but I feel it's all about talent.
You can sometimes learn more working with less talented people, because you learn to survive.
A lot of times I find that people who are blessed with the most talent don't ever develop that attitude, and the ones who aren't blessed in that way are the most competitive and have the biggest heart.
When you get to that level, it's not a matter of talent anymore - because all the players are so talented - it's about preparation, about playing smart and making good decisions.
Some people don't need to work hard because they are so talented.
I've known lots of people that are talented and nothing happens. It's not about talent, it's relentless drive.
