For people who are really talented, what you don't say becomes extremely important. You have to judge what to say and what to leave alone so you can let the talent develop.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
This is what I learned: that everybody is talented, original and has something important to say.
In life, you need many more things besides talent. Things like good advice and common sense.
It is better to be likable than to be talented.
The most important things to say are those which often I did not think necessary for me to say - because they were too obvious.
Obviously talent gets you to a certain point, but it's what you do with it, how you handle.
But, unfortunately, sometimes that affirmation creates a sense that you deserve special treatment and recognition in areas where you're not so talented.
My speech is really important to me, but the thing is at the moment it can't be more important than my singing. Until I'm an established name all over the world, my speech won't be more important than my music.
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.
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.
Character is more important than talent.
