There is so much talent out there and not quite as much opportunity.

If you have the talent, you should have the opportunity.

I think in every industry you need to have a lot of talent; you need to have a lot of drive, but you need a little bit of luck.

There is no substitute for talent. Industry and all its virtues are of no avail.

Talent is always more interesting - ambition is not interesting. If you have talent, you have to find ways of expressing it, but you may not be a success in the world's terms.

There are lots of jobs in search of talent. And there's lots of talent in search of meaningful work.

Talent is a feeling that you want to play.

I'm interested in all forms of performance, yet I think it's difficult to be as equally talented in all of them as they call for such different skills. At the moment, I still feel I'm learning and want as much experience and variety as possible.

I'd rather be a Jack-of-all-trades than master of one. If I became an icon, where my whole life was music, I would probably have become a vegetable. I wouldn't be able to have all these talents I have today and be an interesting 'character.'

Talent alone gets you nowhere. You really have to have the grit, and you gotta have a love for people.
