The legwork is always hard. Really finding people that you think are good enough. Just the definition of what we have to do is finding good enough people that you really think are special.

But it's always really difficult to find someone that has the qualities to be a great accompanist.
Hard work opens doors and shows the world that you are serious about being one of those rare - and special - human beings who use the fullness of their talents to do their very best.
Most people don't have so much talent that they can become a success all their own. We all need people to help us and lift us up.
You have to hone your craft, but you also have to be born with a certain amount of talent, and I never took the talent for granted - I've always worked really hard to be as good as I could be.
I look for something unique, and I look for people who haven't reached their potential. I think I'm pretty good at developing talent.
You need a lot of effort and talent to produce greatness.
I have a harder time finding somebody. The problem is we were growing professionally during the years most people were concentrating on being a person.
Even if you actually have the good intent to do something creative or special with your life, it's hard. I mean, look at the number of people who actually get the opportunity.
Many people who want to be great aren't willing to do the work to make it possible!
What I work hard at doing is staying on a path of being kind and showing and proving that I'm a good person to society. That's hard. The talent, that's a gift. I just came here like that.
