Over the years I have been kind of lazy, thinking my talent alone can do it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
I'm lazy. I don't practice enough. I do other stuff. I'm not a musician's musician, and I don't necessarily know if I want to be. When I hear something and want to work on it, then that's what my project will be.
I think I rely on my talent more than my brain sometimes.
My father taught me that the easiest thing to do was to quit. He'd say, 'It doesn't take any talent to do that.'
Everybody has talent, it's just a matter of moving around until you've discovered what it is.
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 probably have genius. But no talent.
Whatever I lack in talent I have in stamina.
If you got talent, you just have to do you.
There's no such thing as talent; you just have to work hard enough.
