Quote

Ambition is important. Of course you can't get anywhere without talent, but there are a lot of talented people. To succeed, you have to be the most ambitious talented person.

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.

The talent of success is nothing more than doing what you can do well, and doing well whatever you do without thought of fame. If it comes at all it will come because it is deserved, not because it is sought after.

Irrespective of whether you have talent or not, one has to work hard. Just being talented doesn't mean anything; you can end up wasting it before you realize.

It would be difficult to have any unfulfilled ambitions because I don't have any ambitions. I've never been that kind of performer.

If you have the talent and if you have the ability, and you work for it, you can achieve your goals.

One needs more than ambition and talent to make a success of anything, really. There must be love and a vocation.

Fame and fortune should never get in front of your passion. The passion will generate the fame and fortune, if you're good enough.

I've known people with exceptional talent - and some have wasted it. Ambition spurs a man on.

If you don't have talent or preparation for whatever you want to do, you will not be successful in anything.
