Boy, there are days where I get up and say 'Where the hell did my talent go? Look at this crap that I'm producing here. This is terrible. Look, I wrote this yesterday. I hate this, I hate this.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
No talent lies in my dancing.
Sometimes you're trapped in writing songs and you don't have enough distance from what you do anymore and you need the talent and the years of other people to come and jump in.
Everybody has talent, it's just a matter of moving around until you've discovered what it is.
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.
You see so many artists who are so talented end up living sad, empty lives. This industry takes so much out of you that without the accountability and leaving God in the center, you can be left so empty and void.
My biggest criticism is how can people be so easily satisfied? Even people with talent.
I feel the producers really exploited my lack of talent at this time. I looked like an idiot up there. I want to be good, not something that people will laugh at.
I think I was blessed with this talent for a reason. No one told me how to write a song, but I'm just good at it, you know. There are a lot of other things in my life that I'm not so good at, but writing a song is not one of them.
I don't know if I discovered I had any talent. It was dogged persistence. I had to have the music.
To my mind, talent doesn't really exist.
