Was music my talent really? No, I don't think I was particularly talented.

I know I'm not musically talented.

I don't want to talk about myself, that's for other people to say, so I'm not saying I was so talented.

I was not naturally talented. I didn't sing, dance or act, though working around that minor detail made me inventive.

I wasn't born with a natural talent for songwriting.

When you're talented, you're talented.

I have been aware, from the age of 6, that I had talent.

To my mind, talent doesn't really exist.

I don't know if I discovered I had any talent. It was dogged persistence. I had to have the music.

I think I was blessed with this talent for a reason. No one told me how to write a song, but I'm just good at it, you know. There are a lot of other things in my life that I'm not so good at, but writing a song is not one of them.
